What happened to Medicine and the Scientific Method?

By Joan McDaniel

Folk Medicine continued

I am an LPN who ate my way back to health. Read my continuing story about researching a different kind of nutrition. I used food as my medicine.   This is my second post on Alternate medicine, civilizations and traditions. Americas practiced Homeopathy medicine before the 1930s.  It rested on tradition and philosophy.  The Rockefeller Foundations and its unlimited funds created what we now know as Modern medicine. Heavily financed, patient profit guaranteed, scientific business would become the new American medical profession. It would be based on chemicals, chemistry, pharmacology, and science.  It uses pharmacologically active agents or physical interventions to treat or suppress symptoms or pathophysiologic process of diseases or conditions.  It ignores body function and focuses on organ function.

I am recovering from being very sick and I have found many others along the way with the same story. Researching what causes illness has many concluding - it is life style and what you eat that made you ill. Modern medicine ignored me and could not help. Like myself, these people have found solutions and have “regain control of their health”.  People have “cured themselves” from some pretty nasty diseases including terminal cancer.

 It seems to me the general public is getting sicker, disease is increasing like antibiotic resistant super bugs, Auto Immune disorders, Alzheimer’s, ADHD, dementia, depression, diabetes, food allergies, cancer, Heart problems, immune suppressed disease, and obesity to list a few. People are asking questions.  They are returning to their tradition - the system Grandma talked about – the systems that have worked for over 6,000 years - and finding healthy solutions like I did.

Allopathy Medicine

Allopathy was a term coined by doctors of homeopathy to refer to all forms of medication which are not considered alternative medicine. The modern allopathic doctor is taught to see the human body as a collection of organs that have independent function.  They use Pharmaceuticals, and Lab test never really asking or caring how you feel or what you eat.
