Theres no conspiracy at work here, just a disconnect between the researchers, who develop the science, and physicians, who disseminate it among sick people. Scientists refer to this as “the research gap.” By some estimates, it can take up to ten years for cutting-edge science to filter down to the people who need it the most! In this case, the biochemists or molecular biologists who are doing the work on AA arent focused on how their discoveries can best be used in a clinical setting. Its not that they arent concentrating on “application” — of course theyre thinking about helping people but their focus tends to be more on understanding the mechanisms that lead to inflammatory diseases, and on developing medications like the terrific anti-inflammatory medications in your medicine cabinet right now.
