It seems that, apart from the controversiality of the treatment itself, there is heavy critcism of Dr. Heimlich for his human experimentation. Other investigators, from UCLA, who helped him, have been reprimanded by UCLA, and UCLA has demanded that all reference to UCLA be removed from the documentation and reports of the research.

Frankly, I think this criticism arises largely from two background causes, which are not easily distinguished sometimes:
1. The semi-instinctive opposition that always seems to arise among the medical fraternity when something comes along that threatens to change paradigms; and
2. The pharmaceutical industry and doctors whose livings and ways of operation are tied to the administration of drugs, who react negatively when a new development seems to threaten not only their world-view but their finances.
