I've restarted a citizen journalism blog (as I've been a hack freelance writer/editor for 15 years now). If there's anything I can do to help, by all means. I'm actually working on an interview with this gentleman:

And so the synchronicity of this post hit me. If anything, I want you and your team to know that you are not alone in facing resistance from fears of the medical establishment. We build machines with faulty parts to maintain repeat customers (such as in the contrast of light bulbs made a century past that still do their job, compared to current toys that die out after so many weeks, etc). That mentality started with Edward Bernays, and it has infected every industry- particularly healthcare. But there are black sheep out there, I sincerely want to believe there are persons with means willing and able to challenge the status quo.

If you feel your team has something golden, then word needs to spread. This may even be more important than profit margins, as another commenter alluded to, and you need to really weigh such a thing.
