Dear Friends,
Many people fail to understand why the alternate physicians have a quarrel with the allopaths. Modern medicine with all its fancy drugs, swanky research and glistening gadgets seems almost invincible and more than sufficient to conquer disease. But once you have been in the receiving end of this "science" especially while suffering from a chronic disease, you realise that all that glitters may not be gold.
The allopathic principles may be surmised as under;
1. The symptoms are the disease. Therefore destroy the symptoms to destroy the disease. 2. Lack of physical symptoms denote lack of disease. 3. The physical body and a part of the mind alone are susceptible to disease. 4. All disease (or dis-ease) has to be fought on war footing as it is bad for health. 5. The physician knows best. The patient should remain a silent spectator to his skills. 6. Germs are the main cause of disease. 7. The body has no capacity to fight disease without the help of a doctor. There is no internal correction system.8. The body/mind complex cannot renew itself. 9. The external/internal environment is an enemy which is constantly seeking to destroy the body. 10. Nature is powerless against disease. 11. Disease is static and it can be fought only by medicines at the material plane.
However almost all other forms of alternate healing are of the opinion that;
1. Symptoms are the body's language trying to point out the source of the problem or trying to let the body/mind/intelligence complex know that some anomaly has ocurred. 2. Disease begins at the karmic plane making its way down through the mental/emotional plane into the physical body. 3. Only the soul is disease free, man can be diseased at all other levels. 4. Not all diseases go against the body, many are a part of the development process (birth-childhood-youth-adult-old age-death) and indicate correctional processes taking place within the body which is trying to throw away toxins of the process. 5. The patient knows best, the physicians job is to assist the patient in his attempts to set right the malady and regain his former state of health. 6. Cracks in the immune system lead to disease. Germs cannot thrive unless an internal error has ocurred laying down the foundation of disease. In some cases the germs also may be the scavengors trying to remove the waste products generated
as the immune system fights the disease. 7. The body is fully equipped to fight disease and the physician should interfere with proper life saving and vitality building exercises only when he feels that the vital force is loosing against the disease force. 8. The body/mind complex knows fully well what to do at every stage in case of disease unless its diagnostic and healing abilities have been compromised by human and mechanical forces. The inherent healing force of the body always tries to throw out the disease force from within outwards. 10. Though the environment and internal system is constantly at a state of flux the inherent idea is to achieve equilibrium and not to lead to further chaos. The position changes only at advanced old age when the soul starts preparing to shed the old body and acquire a new one. 11. Disease is a dynamic force and the physician should be able to deal with it at a dynamic level. If disease is not dynamic it can not affect the dynamic life/vital
force in the first place.
I think now the position of modern medicine vis a vis alternate medicine is somewhat clear. I would love the distinguished members of the list to add/distract to/from what I have tried to discuss.
Love & Regards, Jagannath.

Re: Why alternate medicine opposes allopathy.
Perhaps except the last point none of what you have written is true
of modern allopathy...If you think more about these points you would
understand that present day allopathy has come a long way in using a
wholistic approach to health care...
1. The symptoms are the disease. Therefore destroy the symptoms to
destroy the disease. 2. Lack of physical symptoms denote lack of
disease. 3. The physical body and a part of the mind alone are
susceptible to disease. 4. All disease (or dis-ease) has to be fought
on war footing as it is bad for health. 5. The physician knows best.
The patient should remain a silent spectator to his skills. 6. Germs
are the main cause of disease. 7. The body has no capacity to fight
disease without the help of a doctor. There is no internal correction
system.8. The body/mind complex cannot renew itself. 9. The
external/internal environment is an enemy which is constantly seeking
to destroy the body. 10. Nature is powerless against disease. 11.
Disease is static and it can be fought only by medicines at the
material plane.
