Being somewhat closely associated with allopathic medicine,
I believe it is even more scary than that. (In no particular
order)
1) Our culture grants all doctors almost complete control -
they are involved in the quality of life, they can prolong
life and they can end life.  The ego gets real involved
here.  They really don't like patients who wish to be
informed.
2) Many if not most of today's practitioners have trained
since the 60s and have been taught the food pyramid and that
eating cholesterol causes high blood cholesterol levels,
etc.  They really deeply believe these things. It approaches
religious fanaticism in strength.
3) There's no money involved in healthy patients.  If they
actually cured someone, who would pay their bills?
4) Agribusiness and the giant drug companies have a lot of
political power.

I know that is an extremely skeptical view.  I was gonna
help save the world back in my childhood and actually
started off for a career in medicine.  I got out after 2
years and that was almost 30 years ago now so this is JMHO.
