The reality is that you express far more certainty on this topic than I do. My "take" in healthcare has been for years that the more I know, the more I realize I don't know. Rarely do I encounter universal thundering truths that never will change. That's not an argument against established practice as you choose to interpret it, it's an argument against blind dogma.

IMHO the best approach is to follow the advice of your practitioner if you are satisfied that s/he keeps up-to-date and gives you confidence, while realizing that there's constant churn in understanding so that today's truth may be tomorrow's fable. That's it. No need for attacks and invective: in the end the animal is always right in science no matter how aggressively a point is put. Dragan would argue that big Pharma conspires to ensure that messages are channeled in a certain fashion, but that's another topic.
