Guess they'll just have to disorganize.
That...doesn't even make sense. It's a word salad that doesn't even follow from the previous statement.

In 1974 I had to get my about to be pregnant wife's folic acid supply by way of a prescription from veterinarian, but only if I promised to tell anyone who asked, that it was for my dog.

My friends later quipped that I treated my wife like a dog.

Second, the government does not have the ability to stifle scientific findings. They have very little role in the peer review and publication of scientific research, so I don't think this is remotely possible.
You've made it more clear for me, and I get it. But (whether this is happening or not) do people not think the government couldn't jump in to regulate certain things? All they'd have to do is "suggest" that xyz is in the nation's best interest, et cetera.

No.

there is good reason for the medical industry to be slow to accept new treatments. in years past patients have died because of new treatments that were not fully tested. remember that the hippocratic oath says first do no harm, thus doctors tend to start with proven therapies. also new technology usage tends to get the medical industry in trouble with the legal community.
