Allopathy and Allopaths
[back]
Terminology
"The beginning of wisdom is to call things by the right
names." Chinese Proverb
"In Medicine, as in statecraft and propaganda, words are sometimes the most
powerful drugs we can use." -----Sara Murray Jordan
[Allopathy is always
called: Orthodox, Modern, Scientific, Contemporary, Traditional,
Conventional or School medicine. It revolves
around the products of the drug industry--Pharmaceutical drugs. And
Allopaths are the medical doctors who only use these drugs. Not all MDs
are Allopaths, many use Alternative medicine (non-Allopathic medicine, see
below).
Allopathy and Allopath are pretty much banned words. Allopaths don't
like the word, usually citing the homeopathic pejorative origins of 'treating
symptoms'. But, and this shows the importance of words, the main reason is the
fact Allopathy has to hide its monopoly status, and Allopaths like to maintain the illusion (mostly to
themselves) that their medicine is the only one of any value, that it is based
purely on science (evidence-based medicine),
and that any modality, if shown to be effective (see:
if it works), will be incorporated into it. And that anything else is Pseudoscience
and
quackery. Also if
they allow themselves to be labelled it is looking outside the wood or the walls
of Allopathy into the real world, not the one they have been sold by Allopathy
and Big Brother. That way lies too many uncomfortable truths (see)
usually hidden by denial/Rationalizations. One even banned the use of the term on
Wikipedia:
I have asked you in the past to desist from labeling users or groups of users as "allopaths". This is inflammatory, not contributory to the discussion, and in plain violation of WP:CIVIL. You have now repeatedly done the same on Talk:Measles. I am uninvolved in that discussion but observe that you are making the same basic policy violations as always. ----Jfdwolff
The Media
operates as the covert trade rag of Allopathy, where Allopathic press
releases and Allopaths like Ben Goldacre
and other
Experts can propagandise with no restraint or right of reply by
non-Allopathic doctors, while Allopathic outriders known as
the
Health Fraud
movement operate as thought police on the net and with their own propaganda
outlets (eg
Science-Based Medicine), alongside the Allopathic run government
'health' outfits (NHS, CDC), regulatory agencies (FDA), international health
agencies (WHO), &
Medical Charities.
The key is invisibility. As long as Allopathy can
hide itself its monopoly is safe. But you can see how it all just
rests on information control and enforced ignorance.]
Quotes
The key is invisibility. Once propaganda becomes visible, it's
less effective. Public relations is effective in manipulating opinion - and thus
public policy - only if people believe that the message covertly delivered by
the PR campaign is not propaganda at all but simply common sense or accepted
reality.
WAR ON TRUTH The Secret Battle for the American Mind An
Interview with John Stauber (emphasis added)
"Allopathy : Also known as ‘scientific medicine’, ‘orthodox medicine’ and ‘modern medicine’, is barely about 200 years old. It lays emphasis on drugs. It offers antibiotics, synthetic vitamins, steroids, chemotherapy, radiation, and immunization all of which are highly dangerous. Its diagnostics methods are not foolproof and 95% of surgeries in allopathic hospitals are unnecessary. Doctors of modern medicine receive their continuing education from Medical Representatives of (P)harmaceuticals, and prescribe lethal drugs based on cuts and commission. These inadequately tested and prescribed drugs create more diseases. Allopathy is a ‘pseudo science’ which has done more harm to health and wellbeing of humanity than any other 40 odd systems of healing described below."---- A TO Z OF ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE by Dr. Leo Rebello (A chapter from Dr. Leo Rebello's popular book AIDS and Alternative Medicine, 4th Edition)
