Limitations of allopathy
- Bias of western medical and surgical practice
- Resistance to traditional medicine
- Exclusion of indigenous medical systems by allopathic medicine
- Undue emphasis on drug-based medicine
Nature
There is still considerable friction between traditional and scientific medicine, mainly due to lack of understanding and cooperation, although legislative action has also failed to promote, or even discounted and hindered traditional medicine. Although there is currently much discussion in international circles about recognizing traditional medicine and merging it with allopathic medicine, a combined venture of traditional healing and modern medicine has not yet been given any real opportunity.
Claim
Just because your doctor has a name for your condition doesn't mean he knows what it is.
Doctors give drugs of which they know little, into bodies, of which they know less, for diseases of which they know nothing at all (Voltaire).
The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease (Voltaire ).
