	Homeopathy, Economics, and Government by Linda Johnston, MD, DHt
		The allopaths blamed the public for the situation, contemptuously regarding them as ignorant, undiscriminating and easily deceived, clearly needing to be protected from their own perverse ignorance.
		The brunt of the blame for declining allopathic fortunes was laid at the door of the Homeopaths.
		The allopaths had concern about the growing competition from Homeopathy, stated as "quackery in the profession." They felt the apparently declining standards of medical education was the cause of physicians converting to Homeopathy and these ideas were the prime motives in the founding of the American Medical Association in 1847.

		Allopaths are what we commonly call Medical Doctors in the United States now in the late part of the twentieth century, and early twenty first century.
		The difference is that Allopaths are taught only accute methods of alleviating problems and have little to no understanding of what makes daily living with optimal care possible.
		Of that entire population, the standard allopathic methods utilized for fighting cancer, chemotherapy, radiation therapy and some hormone therapy (dependent upon the cancer) were only able to help less than 2% of the people treated.

		There is, however, a huge difference between the allopathic concept of the extracellular compartment serving as a transportation system for nutrients, hormones, etc., and the concept of that compartment as a regulatory matrix - the "internal environment." This will be a focus of part II of this series.
		Allopaths usurped the use of the terms "medicine" and "physician" in the early part of the 20th century.
		It is ironic that many states have granted allopaths the exclusive use of the term derived from the concept of an "invisible power," an idea which, at an institutional level, they fundamentally deny.

		But, the allopaths, by way of their relative 'stranglehold' on the governmentally created and maintained institutionalization of the healing arts, have so far been able to exclude others, and the chiropractors in particular, from 'poaching' on these areas of its 'turf'.
		Both the allopath (M.D.) and the osteopath (D.O.), upon being licensed by the state, are licensed as both 'physician' and 'surgeon'.
		Even the allopaths themselves acknowledge that there is something in the human 'mind' or 'psyche' (or something like that) that can work cures that medicine cannot, and, very often is what actually works the cure anyway, irrespective of what the physician does or does not do.

		That was maddening to allopathic doctors because homeopathy seemed to them to be the most impossible system of all, because its system of practice involved first of all administering drugs that were supposed to duplicate the symptoms of the disease and that didn't make any sense to allopathic doctors.
		Their conviction is that allopathic medicine attacks nature, the doctor tries to cure without taking any account of the body's own innate healing ability and often interferes with the natural restorative process, whereas each of their therapies supports and stimulates the efforts that the body is making to restore the person to health.
		Allopathic doctors have tended to see the placebo as something that is useless in their practice, and believe, in fact, that is unethical to give because it's a kind of deception.

		Allopaths competed for the medical dollar with phrenologists, Thomsonians, homeopathics, eclectics, and a variety of other practitioners who often simply put out a shingle and offered cures.
		Wooster Beach, a University of New York trained allopathic physician, enthusiastically rejected the "purge and vomit" therapeutics from both the botanic and regular schools of medicine and instead embraced clinical training from Parisian allopaths and microdosing from the homeopaths.
		Thomson and his adherents believed that human life was not, as allopaths promoted in their theories, material or mechanical but propelled ultimately by a "vital force" which was not "under the control of the laws of either physics or chemistry" (pp.

		Allopaths kill more people in a day - at the low estimate - than all alternative providers have in over 50 years.
		Allopaths should have to prove medicine is safe and that it is not the biggest killer on the planet or be relegated to second-tier providers.
		There is such an opportunity for massage and other alternative professions to upset the allopathic applecart, once and for all.

	Allopathic medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Allopathic medicine is the name given by Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, to the methods of his medical foes.
		The generally uncomplaining acceptance of "allopathic medicine" by today's MDs is an indication of both a lack of awareness of the term's historical use and the recent thawing of relations between irregulars and allopaths.
		Practitioners of alternative medicine have used the term "allopathic medicine" to refer to the practice of conventional medicine in both Europe and the United States since the 19th century.

	History of Homopathy : Its Origin ; Its Conflicts. by Wilhelm Ameke, M. D. Presented by Dr Robert Séror.
		The allopaths had spread the report that there were numbers of dead and dying in the homoeopathic establishment, so that the King of Naples sent the Crown Prince to make investigations.
		Again, in numerous passages the allopaths have expressed the self-evident opinion that to judge of a method of treatment in one single disease, several hundred cases are insufficient.
		Both friend and foe used its columns to ventilate their opinions, and allopathic doctors were not wanting who warned the public of the dangers attending water-treatment, e.g., in hemorrhoids and gout, since inflammation of the brain and phthisis were likely to ensue from its employment.

		Massage therapists do not fit the allopathic paradigm: to maximize the profits of ongoing human suffering by offering endless treatments in which patients sometimes are cured, but seldom healed.
		Allopathic clinicians persist in treating the symptoms of illness, rather than the causes.
		Depending on your measuring standard, the answer is "maybe yes, maybe no." True, infectious diseases have decreased markedly, and perhaps that can be credited to the allopaths or to improved hygiene and sanitation.

	Adopting some osteopathic traits might help M.D.s boost their patient communication skills
		As a result, medical doctors, also known as allopaths, might learn something from their osteopathic colleagues that could improve patient satisfaction and outcomes, researchers say.
		Further research is needed with both kinds of doctors to confirm the findings, investigators say, and to determine if the higher scores osteopaths received in a special evaluation correlate with better patient health and greater satisfaction.

Sheps Center for Health Services Research; Thomas Motyka, an osteopathic physician in Chapel Hill; Joanne M. Garrett, research associate professor of medicine at UNC; and Robert B.

		This gave the allopaths a second wind and at the same time the homeopaths started fighting among themselves and broke into the American Institute of Homeopathy and the International Hahnemannian Association.
		As the allopaths got stronger the homeopaths got weaker and this caused a shift in the pendulum.
		Again the allopaths will start taking over the homeopathic remedies because they are losing patients to western drugs, corticosteroids, and antibiotics.

		was the person who told the patient suffering from vomiting of mucus and bile to leave off the allopathic medicine (a mixture of sulphur, saltpetre and cream of tartar, according to the statement of the allopath him-self, a teaspoonful every hour), and to do nothing in the meantime.
		Really it is the turn of the homeopaths to laugh when we consider that the allopaths sought the seat of the disease now in the spinal cord, now in the nervous system, in the blood, the skin, the bile, or the bowels.
		Now-a-days no rational professor would venture on the assertion that the allopathic results were more favourable, and we can certainly say without fear of contradiction that the homeopaths were more successful than their opponents in the treatment of this disease.

		Allopaths and non-allopaths saw on an average 13 (10 by allopaths, 7 by non-allopaths) patients with sexual health problems per month.
		They used primarily allopathic treatment for contact and non-contact problems and appeared to be using a lot of lab tests.

		Apart from reversing rapidly declining incomes, allopaths also wanted to rescue their public reputations, which quite reasonably suffered given their proficiency in killing patients through such crude practices as bloodletting ("exsanguination") or mercury injections (poisoning).
		[6] Starr (1982) asserts that it is a myth that allopaths achieved dominance by crushing homeopaths and eclectics.
		He claims that once homeopaths and eclectics joined forces with allopaths for occupational licensing and thus began to blur their distinctions, public approval of homeopaths and eclectics died.

		It is assumed when one sees the word "doctor" they think MD. This isnt flaming or arguing, but if you ask 99% of the lay population (people reading the articles) the don't say they are seeing their allopath, they are going to see their doctor (and if you press them, they'll say MD).
		Allopaths were named allopaths by Hahneman - a homeopath.
		But in terms of the usage of the term, allopath only exists as a term to distinguish it from osteopath.

	ACP Observer, November 2003 - How touch and talk can help you connect with patients
		Researchers found that allopaths, on the other hand, were less likely to initiate these discussions but were more likely to discuss scientific literature or the scientific basis for a problem.
		While the study didn't try to evaluate whether these differences led to better outcomes, many osteopathic physicians firmly believe that a relaxed and open style of communication is bound to improve the doctor-patient relationship—and, as a result, patient care.
		Osteopaths are more likely than allopaths to use first names to create a more personal atmosphere, but such familiarity should ultimately be left to the patient.

	CORRECTION ON MISTAKEN BELIEF OF ALLOPATH
		If one were to ask an allopathic graduate in this class how he could demonstrate that he had cured some body, the answer could only be such as I have mentioned already, viz., the patient did not die, or that the manifestations prescribed for had disappeared.
		This fact is taught, but it is subsequently ignored as the overwhelming emphasisi of medical training and practice focuses exclusively upon the theory of viral or microbic transmission of disease.
		The terms "allopath" and "allopathy" are often used in reference to Medical Doctors and standard medicine by medical writers.

	Much Ado About Little
		It is true that Hahnemann condemned the allopaths, not for the use of homogenic remedies, but only for their method of discovering (simply by chance, not on any principle) and using (used only crude doses which, because of the strong similar resonance, was highly dangerous) such remedies.
		In a short footnote he says this was "called homeopathic", meaning that this is not the correct term (because not based on symptoms of the patient, rather on the disease irritation), but comes within the general scope of the law of similar resonance from which the term homeopathy first was coined.
		The allopaths also were unable to discover very many homogenic remedies because of their over-generalising about disease.

	Misuse of the Term "Allopathy"
		Although many modern therapies can be construed to conform to an allopathic rationale (eg, using a laxative to relieve constipation), standard medicine has never paid allegiance to an allopathic principle.
		The label "allopath" was considered highly derisive by regular medicine.
		Although medicine never accepted the label of allopathy, nonmedical practitioners such as chiropractors, homeopaths, and naturopaths regularly misrepresent physicians as "allopaths." This is usually done in order to make differences between their practice guilds appear based upon conflicting philosophies rather than ideology versus science.

		The result has been a dichotomy between the allopaths and the homeopaths, with the allopaths winning in the USA by the sheer weight of numbers.
		In homeopathy, the more a substance is diluted, the more potent it becomes due to the release of energy indigent to the process of dilution.
		Meanwhile, back at the medical ranch, the allopaths have become aware of the increasing popularity of homeopathy, so they are now moving to restrict its administration to -- you guessed it -- themselves.

		Back in the 1840s, AMA member physicians, or allopaths, were competing for dollars and often losing to homeopaths.
		The key difference between allopaths and homeopaths explains a great deal: Allopaths used synthetic means to produce actions that differed from the disease being treated while homeopaths used natural techniques producing similar effects to the disease being treated.
		Also, allopaths sorely needed to repair their reputations based on their well-known ability to kill patients accidentally through crude practices such as mercury injections and bloodletting.

		Yes, it's certainly true that some allopathic physicians will be biased against Huna and CAM until they retire their stethoscopes.
