Allopathy: The False Religion of the Wonder Drug

For centuries before the discovery of the principle of similia similibus curentur (like cures like), medicine was practiced by bleeding, purging, vomiting and the administration of highly toxic drugs. Medical doctors who specialize in the administration of drugs designed to treat the patient with counteracting measures are of the variety best described by the term allopathy (a word which uses two Greek words: allos meaning opposite, and pathos meaning suffering). When applying allopathic procedures, the doctor employs therapies designed to counteract the manifestations of the disease (often without regard to the toxicity or the side effects exhibited by the drug).

"Allopathy: The system of medical practice which treats disease by the use of remedies which produce effects different from those produced by the disease under treatment."

The vast majority of Medical Doctors (M.D.s) in the United States practice allopathic medicine. The uninformed may ask, logically speaking, how did this all come about? It is a long story of corruption, greed, and money. (Makes for a good novel...)

Almost everyone is familiar with the pharmaceutical industry, its high prices, its prescription system, its connection to your doctor's prescriptions, and its wide-spread availability. It is a multi-trillion dollar industry.

Although modern medicine no longer practices such things as the purposeful inducements of bleeding, purging, and vomiting, the modern medical profession employs drugs which are chosen in order to counteract or to suppress the adverse symptoms of a set of symptoms displayed by the patient without regard to the curative properties of the body, or the side-effects produced by the drug. The doctor is principally concerned with side-effects management and choosing medicines that are minimally side-effects prone. However, every medicine the allopath gives has at least a minor side-effect, and some have had some serious side-effects discovered years later. The personal injury lawyer has made his/her living in this specialty of the law: medical malpractice. Indeed, another industry formed in response to the many medical malpractice law-suits is the Medical Insurance Industry. You can't find an allopath who does not carry a multi-million dollar medical malpractice insurance policy!

The Pharmacological Industry (Drug Companies) Carry High-Levels of Insurance.

The Pharmacological Industry also seeks protection from law-suits by carrying multi-billion dollar liability insurance policies and by employing the nation's largest law firms who specialize in medical and drug litigation.

Allopaths also realize...

Allopaths also realize that not all conditions of the human body can be counteracted through medicine alone. It is at these times that they employ surgical techniques to cut out, remove, or transplant organs from one "host" to another. Of course, the "host donor" is usually matched up by blood type, so as to minimize rejection by the person receiving the transplant. As long as the organ is still "alive", the allopath is not concerned if the "host donor" is living or departed. Speaking as an Orthodox Christian, the practice of cutting out the organ of a departed Orthodox Christian carries great eschatological consequences. Just as strictly speaking, an Orthodox Christian is forbidden from agreeing to cremation after death, the removal of organs from a body may impair the sleeping Christian at the General Resurrection! But allopaths have not apparently considered these consequences. In this sense, they espouse almost an atheistic view of their rationalistic universe.

The American People Have Been Conditioned to Believe in a Bankrupt Medical System to the Point of Some Denying the Curative Healing Power of G-d.

The American People have been conditioned to believe in the allopathic system of medicine and to put their whole trust in such a system. For example, when many Americans fall victim to common ailments, such as, the cold, flu, headache, stomach ache, back pain, etc., they will reach for over the counter medicines which are designed to suppress symptoms and/or deaden the sensation of pain. These medicines however do not help the body to fight the cause of the symptoms, nor, do they erradicate the illness -- they merely stop the body from generating the symptoms while the illness remains to plague the body. Almost always, the symptoms displayed by a person are the body's method of transmitting a warning signal that something is wrong in the body. When medicines cover over and hide the symptoms without regard to curing the illness, it is as if a fire alarm is silenced while the fire rages on with its destruction and mayhem. When illnesses get to be more serious, however, allopaths will cut out or replace "defective" or "non-functioning" organs in the human body by means of surgical procedures.

The american public seems to be content with suffering through the procedures inflicted by the effects of allopathic medicine. In fact some patients accept whatever the allopathic doctor pronounces as if it were equal in importance to the Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ. When that happens, the medical doctor of the allopathic variety receives that which is only reserved to G-d Himself: worship. Certain television programs, such as, Ben Casey, General Hospital, etc., promote this idea of giving blind acceptance of all things that the medical profession would prescribe as a drug or medicine in the land of allopathy.

While medical science, in modern times, appears not to have an antidote to a bubo (an enlarged and inflamed lymph node with an associated lesion occurring at the site of entry of infection), listen to the following case using Homeotherapeutics:

"A young man came to me with a bubo in the left groin. He had been disappointed in that he had not obtained relief from the treatment used. His bones ached, his tongue was loaded, and his breath smelled badly. The tumifaction was hard and painful, bluish and mottled, with great burning and sharp cutting pains. It was discovered some distance around and the heat was intense. He took Tarantula cubensis 12X, and one powder dry on the tongue three mornings in succession. He returned on the third day after taking his last powder saying that he was poisoned. He complained of a wild feeling in his brain and a drawing sensation in the scalp and muscles of the face. He was in a great state of mental anxiety and he felt as if he was going to lose his reason. Mental restlessness was marked in his countenance. He could not keep quiet even after I assured him that he was in no danger. His primary symptoms had nearly gone and the bubo had lost its bad color. The next day he was much improved in a general way and the bubo had nearly disappeared. I saw him again in three days and the improvement was going on rapidly. The chancre healed rapidly and in one month he told me he had never been so well." Source: J.T. Kent, A.M., M.D., New Remedies, Clinical Cases, Lesser Writings, Aphorisms and Precepts (New Delhi; B. Jain Publishers, 1976, p. 522.

The above case study brings us to study the history of the bubonic plague, a fearsome pandemic. The modern pharmacological industry has suppresed simple, effective, natural remedies in favor of expensive, synthetic, and non-effective controlled-substances that have an unknown effect on the body, as each person reacts differently to such synthetic substances.

Contrast this to the arsenal of effective remedies available to the qualified Homeopathic physician. I recommend that the reader consult a book authored by Dr. Michael Weiner, M.D., entitled, "The Complete Book of Homeopathy".
