In this case, it's not the medical community that is impeding experimentation and progress, but rather the timidity of the FDA. The on/off signals emitted by the agency confuse and hinder the development of a simple and effective treatment for at least one disease with high mortality. I think there are people on the front lines who have a good idea of the technologies and treatments that work. The biggest impediments to implementation are often the insurers and regulators. Getting the unnecessary bits out of the way would likely result in a better and less expensive health care system in the US. This article is a good example of plausible innovation being stymied and I'm sure it's not the only one.
