You are missing my point.  Not all of us start out looking for information with an "outlook" i.e . a set of prejudices.    I set out to find out what I could without relying on institutionalised/accepted beliefs, I ended up with a set of protocols that improved my life.  I think that's what attracts people to the likes of Campbell, but what I am saying is that he may once have been simply an explorer of information, but he now seems to have been overtaken by blind contrarianism to the point that he can no longer be taken seriously.
The issues you have had in finding reputable dietary advice is far from isolated to the health sector. I've struck the same in Organic horticulture and alternative energy generation systems. In both cases I embarked on self education in order to ensure whatever advice and service providers I enlisted was reliable and economically robust.
For health issues this isn't quite as easy so we often resort to web based info sources which generates a whole new level of confusion. I'm equally comfortable with science based or 'traditional' treatment methodologies and when I lose direction I have a sister with degrees in her profession alongside her 40+ years of hospital experience. Her confirmation of much of Dr Campbell's content is proof enough for me of his accuracy.
A recent experience for me with cancer treatment was also a useful experience in being on the receiving end of the pharmaceutical side of the health sector. Prognosis is positive so far but if my condition heads south I'm preparing for how I will deal with it and what health professionals will be on my team.
