	Calcified Repetitive Strain Injury - Allopathic Medicine
		Allopathic medicine is founded on the principle by which its drugs work, giving relief to symptoms of illness without discovering or knowing actual causes, and while this works effectively in short-term use, in the long term it produces a spiralling exaggeration of the original symptoms and addiction.
		Through this school of medicine the public believes that these conditions — and the damage caused by the treatment subsequently — are caused by the health of those with the early symptoms, and the public is in a state of diagnostic auto-suggestion because it presently relies entirely on allopathic medicine for knowledge about these conditions.
		Allopathic medicine is defined as a school of medicine that treats symptoms of illness by producing with drugs the opposite biological effect of the symptoms.

	Allopathic medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hahnemann used this term to distinguish between the use of medicines to suppress symptoms, from the use of medicine to assist the organism in its attempt to heal.
		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.
		The practice of "conventional" medicine in both Europe and America during the 19th century is sometimes referred to as the age of 'heroic medicine' (because of the 'heroic' measures such as bleeding and purging).

	Homeopathy, Economics, and Government by Linda Johnston, MD, DHt
		Whereas the standard, allopathic form of treatment was dominant at the turn of that century, that was not to last.
		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 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.

	Understanding the Differences Between Conventional, Alternative, Complementary, Integrative and Natural Medicine
		The term allopathic (in Greek "allo" means other) medicine was coined by Samuel Hahnemann, MD, in the late 18th century in reference to the use of therapeutic modalities which are based on the assumption that symptoms need to be treated, i.e.
		Despite the apparent absence of allopathic medical philosophy classes in conventional medical schools, the theoretical basis of allopathic medicine appears to have stemmed from Pasteur's findings regarding infectious illness.11 Namely, that a single agent causes a single type of disease and that a specific therapy can be used to treat that disease.
		Allopathic doctors may have suggested that these terms could be interchanged to help keep alternative medicine in its proper place within the medical system.6 Not surprisingly, allopathic doctors would view the use of "non-standard" treatments skeptically and automatically assume they are less effective than standard treatments.

	AltMed: Regulatory Challenge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The prevailing view that the allopathic medicine practiced by the majority of physicians was scientific relieved the regulatory authorities of any real need to think about the philosophical basis of what they were doing.
		It ignores the fact that the allopathic paradigm is steadily declining in the public esteem and attempts forcibly to resurrect it and impose it on all practitioners in the name of "science".
		Allopathic fulminations about patients risking their lives by depriving themselves of "real" medicine may be dismissed as political posturing.

	Allopathic Trojan Horse in Classical Homeopathy
		Hahnemann's system of medicine is unmistakably reduced to a handmaiden for allopathy, useful only to support the patient where allopathic medicine has no effective treatment for the disease (which homeopathy, it seems, cannot treat anyway as it treats the patient, not the disease).
		Herscu states that allopathic vaccinations should be resorted to because they work and homeopathic efforts at prevention do not, this despite the full acknowledgement of the severe dangers of such vaccinations to certain children and the longer-term, chronic damage in terms of the undermining of the overall state of health.
		We agree that allopathic vaccinations "work," not because the evidence of their clinical trials is at all convincing (the problems in the adequate testing of vaccines has been subject to much critical review, even from allopathic medical observers), but because it is an application of the law of similars.

	Background on Medical Practice (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Conventional Western Medicine is organized around the theory of diseases, which believes that a person becomes sick because he or she contracts a disease.
		With the support of the pharmaceutical industry, whose sole livelihood depends upon allopathic medicine, the congress and state legislatures eventually made allopathic medicine the approved "standard of care." With the support of the court system, non-allopathic medical care is "malpractice," and the course of medical care in the U.S was sealed.

		Allopaths are the people who gave us that the "therapeutic" intervention called the "frontal lobotomy" (more commonly referred to as "brain salad surgery," a technique which spawned the saying "better a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy).
		The allopathic system, which is generating so many deaths and injuries every year, has, for around 170 years, effectively monopolized the health care system.

	Healthcare Financial Management: Tapping the potential of alternative medicine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Alternative medicine encompasses mind-body medicine, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, botanical medicine, and other disciplines that tend to emphasize a more holistic approach to medical care than is characteristic of Western allopathic medicine.
		Many allopathic physicians are skeptical about the quality and efficacy of alternative medicine and question the adequacy and scientific basis of alternative medicine practitioners' training and techniques.
		While the risks of offering alternative medicine are not negligible, health plans and provider organizations that thoroughly research the alternative medicine areas in which they have an interest, lay the proper groundwork among their patients and physician panels, and begin conservatively can minimize these risks and take advantage of the benefits of alternative medicine.

	The Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine
		The term 'alternative medicine' covers the broad category of unconventional forms of medicine, many of which are not accepted by the allopathic tradition due to their inability to be evaluated under the scientific method and their consequent lack of empiricality, both of which have strong bases in the Western tradition.
		As a holistic medicine, Ayurveda is mostly concerned with prevention and enhancement leading to the goal of maintaining the whole body in a state of equilibrium so that the resistance of the host to disease is strengthened.
		Alternative medicine may be better equipped for the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients than conventional allopathic medicine, in the sense that alternative therapies are more geared towards supporting and strengthening of the immune system, which is a major goal in arresting the progression of AIDS in HIV positive patients (Goldstein, 129).

	The Nutritional Medicine Approach
		Standardized allopathic medicine does not attempt to actually cure disease, but rather to simply suppress the expression of disease symptoms.
		In contrast, if an allopathic doctor does not understand the illness, but if the symptoms are, nevertheless, successfully suppressed with drugs, the doctor is likely to proclaim a "cure," even in the presence of unpleasant side effects and who-knows-what long-term damage.
		The doctor rarely pays attention to the diet which may be contributing to the disease process, and if there is a comment made, it reflects the training the doctor received in grade school, because he or she did not receive any significant training in nutrition in medical school.

	Dr. Carolyn Dean MD -- The Worst Crime of The 20th Century
		The “modern (allopathic) medicine” of the day included draining people of up to 32 ounces of blood and dosing them with lethal amounts of mercury in a product called “calomel.” Calomel caused profuse salivation and doctors measured the amount of saliva by the pint as a means of determining the success of the treatment.
		What confounded the practitioners of “modern (allopathic) medicine” of that era was that homeopaths were well-educated and had quickly fallen into favor with the educated, politically powerful and wealthier clientele, as well as the masses.
		Those who practice medicine in the allopathic tradition, then as now, know instinctively that homeopathy, by its very principles, is a rejection of the assumptions held near and dear to modern medicine.

	Alternative & Traditional Medicine
		To define is to "set forth the meaning of; to determine or identify the essential qualities or meaning of; to fix or mark the limits of; to characterize (or) distinguish (something)."3 Definitions for conventional, alternative, traditional, complementary, natural, holistic, and integrative medicine need to convey the essential qualities and uniqueness of each field of medicine.
		Unlike alternative medicine, complementary medicine is a non-standard treatment given in conjunction with allopathic therapy, as opposed to instead of a standard treatment.
		By using complementary as a synonym for alternative medicine, allopathic doctors are comfortable with alternative treatments used in conjunction with, but not instead of allopathic treatments.
