Welcome to the educational and information website of

Elmer M. Cranton, M.D.

     This website is provided to educate and inform. Conflicting opinions will be heard from other segments of the medical profession, but total agreement is rare in any field. That is as it should be to encourage innovation and progress.
    Conservatism within the medical profession protects the public from quackery and exploitation, but too much conservatism can delay the acceptance of valuable emerging and innovative therapies that are safe and effective.
      A huge and powerful pharmaceutical industry relies on patent protection to provide profits for clinical research. Treatments described on this website are largely in the public domain, with no patents to fund research.
     Links to published scientific research are provided throughout.
     Information presented here is not to be taken as a substitute for professional medical evaluation or treatment by a competent health care professional.
