re effects of various kinds of orthodox establishments vs ...

Another example, as I tend to see it, of a rather cult-like and rigid mentality on the part of the orthodox establishment: A Doctor of Science by the name of Loic Le Ribault invented (with help from a Professor Norbert Duffaut of the University of Bordeaux) a substance called "organic silica" for the purpose of, among other things, curing arthritis. But apparently since they got patents for their invention, and since the cult-like/rigid orthodox establishment couldn't benefit from that invention, their attempts to get official recognition for their work was not only ignored, but Duffaut appears to have been poisoned to death, although the "official" verdict was suicide (Ribault thinks he wasn't suicidal and in any case knew that potassium cyanide would lead to a very painful death), while Ribault got solitary confinement in a French jail. In short, apparenlty Ribault can't return to his home country, France, because of what to me seems like a rather cult-like and rigid mentality on the part of the orthodox establishment.

Much more about that story is available by googling on Loic Le Ribault, and also available in the current (May-June 2005) issue of Nexus magazine.

Speculatively,
Mauri
