| | Allopathic medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The term allopathic medicine is used by adherents of alternative medicine to refer to any form of mainstream medicine. | | | Practitioners of alternative medicine have used the term "allopathic medicine" to refer to the practice of conventional medicine in both Europe and the United States since the 19th century. | | | Hahnemann used this term to distinguish between the use of medicines to suppress symptoms, from the use of medicine to assist the organism in its attempt to heal. |

| | Osteopathic Medicine: What is a D.O.? |
| | Osteopathic medicine is the body of medicine that combines manipulative techniques for correcting somatic abnormalities with the full spectrum of allopathic medicine for the promotion of health and wellness of the patient as a whole. | | | Because of this whole-person approach to medicine, approximately 60 percent of all D.O.s choose to practice in the primary care disciplines of family practice, general internal medicine, and pediatrics. | | | Osteopathic medicine is a distinctive form of medical care founded on the philosophy that all body systems are interrelated and dependent upon one another for good health. |

| | Understanding the Differences Between Conventional, Alternative, Complementary, Integrative and Natural Medicine |
| | The term "integrative medicine" would also be appropriate for a clinic in which a patient is treated by both allopathic and alternative medicine practitioners. | | | The term allopathic (in Greek "allo" means other) medicine was coined by Samuel Hahnemann, MD, in the late 18th century in reference to the use of therapeutic modalities which are based on the assumption that symptoms need to be treated, i.e. | | | Allopathic doctors may have suggested that these terms could be interchanged to help keep alternative medicine in its proper place within the medical system.6 Not surprisingly, allopathic doctors would view the use of "non-standard" treatments skeptically and automatically assume they are less effective than standard treatments. |

| | AutismOne :: Complementary Medicine |
| | Allopathic medicine tends to the mechanistic approach where each individual exhibiting the same symptoms is prescribed the same medication. | | | Conventional medicine is called allopathic medicine as opposed to complementary or alternative medicine which includes naturopathic medicine, homeopathy, chiropractic, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Ayurveda among others. | | | Homeopathy is a system of medicine that strengthens a person's immune system by using a variety of homeopathic medicines or remedies. |

| | Allopathic medicine and adverse outcomes: the latrogenic... |
| | The allopaths used to warn patients about not going to see chiropractors, with caveats about them "breaking their necks." But chiropractic, much to the chagrin of allopaths, has proven to be a very safe health care technique. | | | Allopaths are the people who gave us that the "therapeutic" intervention called the "frontal lobotomy" (more commonly referred to as "brain salad surgery," a technique which spawned the saying "better a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy). | | | Many chiropractic doctors are ignorant about how the allopaths lost control of the health care system in the 1830s. |

| | Homeopathy, Economics, and Government by Linda Johnston, MD, DHt |
| | The allopaths had concern about the growing competition from Homeopathy, stated as "quackery in the profession." They felt the apparently declining standards of medical education was the cause of physicians converting to Homeopathy and these ideas were the prime motives in the founding of the American Medical Association in 1847. | | | There was a general and pervasive disdain and mistrust of allopathic medicine. | | | It never occurred to the allopathic doctors that the public, rather than being ignorant of orthodox medicine, were very familiar with it and consequently didn’t like it. |

| | The Use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine |
| | Alternative medicine may be better equipped for the treatment of HIV/AIDS patients than conventional allopathic medicine, in the sense that alternative therapies are more geared towards supporting and strengthening of the immune system, which is a major goal in arresting the progression of AIDS in HIV positive patients (Goldstein, 129). | | | The term 'alternative medicine' covers the broad category of unconventional forms of medicine, many of which are not accepted by the allopathic tradition due to their inability to be evaluated under the scientific method and their consequent lack of empiricality, both of which have strong bases in the Western tradition. | | | The systems that fall under alternative medicine are Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, Naturopathic Medicine, Homeopathy, Osteopathic Medicine, Chiropractic, Massage Therapy and Bodywork, and Mind/Body Medicine. |

| | Gale Encyclopedia of Alternative Medicine: Tibetan medicine |
| | Tibetan medicine differs from allopathic medicine in that it has no concept of "illness" as such, but rather the concept is of "disharmony" of the organism. | | | Accordingly, this system of medicine, like many alternative therapies, seeks to achieve a harmony of the self. | | | Tibetan medicine, like its relative Chinese medicine, is an ancient art that has become associated with many legends and is surrounded by a shroud of mysticism. |

| | Is Osteopathic Medicine Right for You? |
| | Osteopathy emphasizes preventative medicine, health, nutrition, and holistic care, and the majority of osteopathic physicians choose to practice in primary care fields, such as internal medicine, emergency medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics. | | | Osteopathic medicine is more than just an alternative to allopathic medical school; it's a unique branch of medicine with a distinct philosophy and purpose. | | | While osteopathic and allopathic medical school programs are similar, osteopathy incorporates additional training in musculo-skeletal manipulation and takes a distinct "whole person" approach to consultation, diagnosis, and practice. |

| | Healthcare Financial Management: Tapping the potential of alternative medicine |
| | Alternative medicine encompasses mind-body medicine, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, botanical medicine, and other disciplines that tend to emphasize a more holistic approach to medical care than is characteristic of Western allopathic medicine. | | | Many allopathic physicians are skeptical about the quality and efficacy of alternative medicine and question the adequacy and scientific basis of alternative medicine practitioners' training and techniques. | | | While the risks of offering alternative medicine are not negligible, health plans and provider organizations that thoroughly research the alternative medicine areas in which they have an interest, lay the proper groundwork among their patients and physician panels, and begin conservatively can minimize these risks and take advantage of the benefits of alternative medicine. |

| | Until osteopathic medicine standardized its admissions and modified its curriculum and philosophies to be more like allopathic requirements, the specialty did in fact suffer a perception of quackery. | | | Finally, there are signs that osteopathic medicine's general acceptance by the medical community may lead to better relations with allopathic physicians. | | | In fact, she said that during her residency, her clinical care was so similar to that of the allopathic doctors that patients didn't seem to notice a difference, except to occasionally compliment her on her excellent bedside manner. |
