[edit] Allopathy

About this comment, you might want to read about Allopathy. This term was created by people practicing homeopathy in the pre-modern era to (inaccurately) describe physicians who disagreed with homeopathic philosophies. To give you the basic idea, homeopathy uses tiny amounts of onion juice to stop watery eyes; allopathy uses tiny amounts of onion juice to treat dry eyes. An M.D. does neither of these things. There are very few true allopaths in the world, and I've never encountered an M.D. who subscribes to these principles (despite the DOs and homeopaths steadily promoting that term as a synonym for conventional medicine).

Among central Europeans, BTW, calling a physician an allopath is actually perceived as an insult. WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:16, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
