CHAPTER ONE 

ALLOPATHIC VERSUS HOMEOPATHIC CARE

 ALLOPATHY:                    A system of treatment that seeks to cure a disease by producing a condition different from the effects of the disease.  It also utilizes the system of introducing chemicals into the system and utilizing surgery to affect changes and cure diseases. 

HOMEOPATHY:                 The use of remedies derived from natural substances in diluted form that when introduced, trigger the body's own healing powers.  It is a concept that believes that a small amount of the substance that is similar or the same as the problem will induce the body to heal itself.

Allopaths are what we commonly call Medical Doctors in the United States now in the late part of the twentieth century, and early twenty first century.  They have their place.  They are most adept at emergency situations, trauma, surgery when needed, burns and the like.  They are trained in such a manner as to deal with extreme, fast moving, accute situations.  If you or I experience an automobile, train or airplane accident and have body parts damaged that need to be re-sewn or repaired, an Allopath is the appropriate person for the job.  If a child is badly burned in a house fire, during the early stages, an Allopath is the person to call.  If a set of Siamese twins is born who must be separated at birth, an Allopath trained in this specific surgery is the person to call.  But if you develop a long term degenerative disease like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, alzheimers, multiple sclerosis and a host of other conditions, an Allopath is an inappropriate choice for ONLY care. Generally, you must change diet and habits to make a lasting difference, and in many cases, if you did that first, you might avoid the drastic measures that Allopaths must resort to due to their training.
