This caught my attention. From the article: Other doctors and nurses found their experiment [drinking water w/ sugar+salt] bizarre and tried to stop them. To me that seemed like professionals clinging to orthodoxy for orthodoxy's sake. They forget that endless reevaluation is needed for a practice to remain 'best'. And maybe it was that. But I also found this talk from Dr Cash; he gives other examples of resistance (along with their causes). Whereas, in one country I went to, Jamaica, I was puzzled, even though I was working at that time for PAHO, that there was terrific opposition. It seemed that they wouldn’t cooperate with anything. Even they wouldn’t give my assistant a bed in the residence quarters. So I found out gradually—I was investigating this—and I found out several things. One is, the head of the hospital was so skeptical about this working that he had made a hundred dollar bet with his residents that it would fail. So obviously there was an incentive for it to fail. (Laughs.) Secondly, the head of hospital stores, I found out, was making a lot of money on kickbacks from the IV company. So he had no interest in terms of resource flow of substituting oral for IV. ref: https://www.cfr.org/event/simple-solution-saved-fifty-four-million-lives https://www.cfr.org/event/simple-solution-saved-fifty-four-m...
