	Medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Medicine is a branch of health science concerned with maintaining human health and restoring it by treating disease and injury; it is both an area of knowledge, a science of body systems and diseases and their treatment, and the applied practice of that knowledge.
		Medicine as understood in the modern period has historically been considered to be the mainstream tradition which developed in the Western world since the early modern age.
		Medicine as it is practiced now is rooted in various traditions, but developed mainly in the late 18th and early 19th century in Germany (Rudolf Virchow) and France (Jean-Martin Charcot, Claude Bernard and others).

		Medicine is both an area of knowledge (a science), and the application of that knowledge (the medical profession).
		The science of medicine is the body of knowledge about body systems and diseases, while the profession of medicine refers to the social structure of the group of people formally trained to apply that knowledge to treat disease.
		Medicine as it is practiced now is rooted in various traditions, but developed mainly in the late 18th and early 19th century in Germany (Rudolf Virchow) and France (Jean-Martin Charcot and others).

	Modern Medicine is not a science
		But modern medicine is not a science and modern clinicians and medical researchers are not scientists.
		Modern clinicians may use scientific techniques but in the way that they treat their patients they are still quacks.
		The modern clinician and the medical researcher base their opinions and conclusions almost exclusively on subjective observations and wishful expectations which are likely to be based on inaccurate historical perspectives and experimental experiences with members of another species.

	Reality, Belief and the Mind - Modern Medicine, symptomatic relief, FDA, AMA and Sham Science
		The point is that modern medicine, as it is officially accepted and practiced today, is far from a complete and valid system of health, in theory and in practice.
		Modern medicine is not the result of a hundred years of objective, unbiased research representing Man's honest and legitimate desire to discover "truth" and to "help" solve human suffering.
		You are familiar with the attitudes about doctors in modern western society such as 1) "being a doctor is a good profession", 2) "doctors are professionals", 3) "modern medicine is the best there is", 4) "medical studies use the latest in scientific methods and equipment, and 5) "listen to your doctor, because he knows best".

	Articles: Yoga and Modern Medicine
		With the modern craze for fitness, it is often projected as an exercise only.
		Medicine has its base on objective demonstration of facts, hence I think we put blinkers and tend to believe only in objective medical scientific studies or objective research.

	5. Violence in modern medicine
		One might justly summarize American medicine (and all those who reverently follow the American lead) as being based on the maxim that what can cure a disease condition (assumed, simulated or natural) in a mouse or a dog can with the right expenditure of money, effort and intelligence, be applied to human medicine.
		Modern medical practice has an unwritten law which does precisely that: when dealing with the same disease, treatment is reserved for the patient, restraint for the doctor when he happens to be a patient.
		In all the major illnesses that modern medicine is researching upon and treating, neither the scope of the treatment nor the quantum of money spent makes any difference to the outcome.

	From Quackery to Bacteriology, Document 1
		Two parallel threads run through 19th century American medicine: one of evolving medical theory and expanding knowledge that eventually furthered the profession; and the other of the daily practice of medicine in the field.
		Scientific medicine took on aspects of quackery to gain patient acceptance, and quackery assumed aspects of scientific medicine to gain credibility.
		Scientific medicine at the beginning of the century was heroic medicine.

		In another way, too, medicine was greatly helped by the rise of experimental pathology, which had been introduced by John Hunter, was carried along by Magendie and others, and reached its culmination in the epoch-making researches of Claude Bernard.
		An occasion equally famous in the history of medicine was a day in 1881, when Pasteur determined that a flock of sheep vaccinated with the attenuated virus of anthrax remained well, when every one of the unvaccinated infected from the same material had died.
		The thyroid body, situated in the neck and the enlargement of which is called goitre, secretes substances which pass into the blood, and which are necessary for the growth of the body in childhood, for the development of the mind and for the nutrition of the tissues of the skin.

		Within five minutes, she returned and stated that he would not agree to it and responded that the Chief of Medicine told her that he would not agree to change the treatment based on abstracts.
		Before he left, I reminded him it was doctors like him who were the problem in modern medicine -- arrogant, condescending to patients and certain the medical care protocols established by the elitist academians were holy writ.
		When I first entered the world of medicine, doctors were able to practice independently, always maintaining a close relationship between themselves, the patient and the patient's family.

	The Quack-Files: Effectiveness & Evidence: The Cornerstones of Modern Medicine
		Effectiveness and evidence are the cornerstones of modern medicine, and the most vital differences between it and other things that claim to be medicine.
		Since EBM is the exclusive property of modern medicine, and modern medicine is continually attempting to evidence base its methods, it is also willing to abandon practices that can be conclusively proven to be without effect.
		The dissimilarity to EBM is very striking, in that modern medicine is becoming more and more firmly rooted in fact and proof, while sCAM is moving away from it, and is retreating more and more into undefinable and untestable metaphysical realms.

		The history of medicine is largely the substitution of ignorance by fallacies….
		Medicine is as unpredictable, baffling, ambiguous, fallible, and absurd as it ever was.

	A Comparison of Alternative and Modern Medicine
		Two systems of medicine are available in the USA: Conventional Western (Allopathic) Medicine and Alternative or Complementary Medicine.
		Conventional medicine is comprised of drugs that suppress the body's natural immune responses.
		But there is no question that Alternative Medicine, which is more cost effective over the long term, works better for just about everything else, especially for diseases like cancer, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, sinusitis, etc. Alternative methods work by assisting your body to heal itself instead of introducing strong drugs.

	God as Modern Medicine
		I believe that Modern Medicine’s treatments for disease are seldom effective, and that they’re often more dangerous than the disease they’re designed to treat.
		I believe more than 90% of Modern Medicine could disappear from the face of the earth---doctors, hospitals, drugs and equipment---and the effect on our health would be immediate and beneficial……Modern Medicine can’t survive without our faith, because Modern Medicine is neither an art nor a science.
		In fact, the situation peculiarly resembles that of the 1830s when physicians relied on bloodletting, mercurial medicines, and quinine, even though knowing them to be intrinsically harmful And precisely the same arguments were made in defense of these medicines as are employed today, namely, that the benefits outweigh the risks.
