Is there a male physician-scientist Cinderella in New York?

(This is a reader’s comment I wrote and posted on the Wall Street Journal today. In today’s issue of the Journal its Opinion section had one short opinion entitled “Chemistry's Cinderella Story  A Nobel winner who challenged dogma”. It stirred great interest and debates.)

I may be the modern Cinderella except I am a male physician-scientist who want to establish a brand new mindset for cancer. I published my viewpoints to the public at www.thedoctorxproject.com and set up a personal blog “Brand New Mindset for Cancer”. All I got so far are silence, ridicules and personal harassment. So when I read this short opinion this morning, I immediately called the WSJ and tried to contact this brilliant author. 

Cancer puzzle will be relatively easy solved if scientists change the way how they think and take totally different approaches. We will solve all three aspects of cancer: how it happens, how to stop it spread around and how to prevent it. This statement may be too bold to be believed. However, if you understand all three are intrinsically interconnected, it will become much easy to apprehend. 

The Shechtman story is really encouraging for me because what he was treated before he started to get any recognized. When I tried to recruit member for a local support team I told potential candidates that at this moment I only have one project, one logo and one dream, and no any other resource. I am currently making a living by working in other job but my dream of being a great scientist and making an impact to our society is still on.

Specially thank those WSJ readers who made great comments in this forum:

Gerald Hanner on common phenomenon and mentioned Thomas Kuhn’s landmark work (He invented the famous phrase “paradigm shift”)

Randy Watts On "group think" and the importance of persistence (In one widely circulated investigative report why there are still so many people dying from cancer the “group thinking” was listed as one of the major reasons of failure by the establishment.)

David Blanco On modern superstition and the Pharisees of Old

Paul Cooper on challenging the consensus at the fundamental level

Jared Potter on official opinion and his optimistic tone.

If you have a few minutes, check the information I mentioned above by yourself and make your own judgment. Don’t be the one who will say many years later that I am sorry I took a wrong side, but you know we are all human beings and make a lot of mistakes, just as several persons tried hard here to defense why Mr. Pauling and unnamed Dr Shechtman’s former colleagues are so wrong.

(P.S.: The WSJ withdrew this article few hours after posting.  Immediately after posting one reader said that the medicine seems to be the hardest to break into if one had different opinions from the rest because of their god complex. He gave a very good example of Helicobacter Pylorli, in which case hundred of thousand people's lives were destroyed (or the quality of the life was severely reduced) in many decades resulted from aggressive and unnecessary treatment regimens based on a popular, but faulty theory.)
