Dr. Lipton has made enemies in the field because his work threatens the funding his colleagues receive, especially those that worked on the Human Genome Project (which Lipton claims was largely a scam).
When your ideas threaten people's finances, it's unavoidable that you're going to get attacked.
That doesn't mean Lipton is correct of course, but I wouldn't let the negative reviews scare you off, since the consequences of his work means such criticism may be more personal than professional.
Remember what Einstein said about violent opposition.
I attended a 6-hour workshop from Lipton in June and found his ideas fascinating, especially the way our cells receive, process, and transmit signals, including our own thoughts and the thoughts of others.
