“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” Leslie Norins, quoting Arthur Schopenhauer
Dr. Merchant followed the principle of “diagnose what you can and treat what you can diagnose”, and in doing so observed remarkable improvement in chronic diseases and co-morbid conditions. His experience became a general theory of chronic disease, which was supported by existing science, and confirmed by repeated successful predictions. He faced criticism, from those who did not understand; and changed the course in his career because of his ongoing desire to use his knowledge to help patients.
