Well thats the way science approaches new claims, with skepticism. It has to, because thats the way it works, claim something, now prove it.
The establishment, I assume you mean science; does an outstanding job with checks/balances to ensure real breakthroughs are separated from flawed research or something that is outright wrong.
I just wanted to add what he meant by majority of neurologists was likely amongst his countrymen and we don't know how many turned him away. So lets not assume more than that.
Anyways this is possibly one of the biggest breakthroughs we've seen in some time, lets hope this is finally something for MS sufferers to get excited about.
