Why alternative medical systems oppose modern medicine

[Guest guest]

Dear ______,There is nothing to be debated. The "results" of modern medicine is for everyone to see. And please also know that today doctors can no longer go by the textbooks as the scenario keeps changing. This is bound to be as disease cannot be tackled at the physical level alone. The life force keeps on pushing new symptoms to the fore as its intrinsic energy pattern is disturbed by wanton interference.Dr Anbumani Ramadoss MD, the Health Minister of India, has himself admitted that the medical syllabus is long outdated and that a synergetic approach by combining all systems is urgently needed. He proposed that medical students should also be taught the basics of ayurveda and homeopathy so that they can view disease from fresh angles.The Medical Council of India has thumbed down this proposal. They want that the old newtonian model should continue. The alternative physicians too are not in favour of this

integration. They have already suffered as earlier Ministers sought to "upgrade" their systems by arranging for allopathic doctors to lecture their students and also introducing allopathic principles into their syllabus. This has resulted in very confused medical graduates.Medicine, proper medicine, cannot be taught as a career. One should have the innate urge to help the suffering. Intuition and faith, both concepts smirked at by science, have a very large role to play in all alternative methods. Cut-and-dry education does not help increase ones intuition and neither does it help inculcate the qualities of compassion and care that are absolutely must for a physician.How many people in India are aware that there are highly reputed ayurveds and homeopaths in India who are eagerly sought after by American and European students? These students travel all the way to India to learn from these teachers. The growing popularity of alternate methods in the West have

Dear ______,

 

There is nothing to be debated. The " results " of modern medicine is for everyone

to see. And please also know that today doctors can no longer go by the

textbooks as the scenario keeps changing. This is bound to be as disease cannot

be tackled at the physical level alone. The life force keeps on pushing new

symptoms to the fore as its intrinsic energy pattern is disturbed by wanton

interference.

 

Dr Anbumani Ramadoss MD, the Health Minister of India, has himself admitted that

the medical syllabus is long outdated and that a synergetic approach by

combining all systems is urgently needed. He proposed that medical students

should also be taught the basics of ayurveda and homeopathy so that they can

view disease from fresh angles.

 

The Medical Council of India has thumbed down this proposal. They want that the

old newtonian model should continue. The alternative physicians too are not in

favour of this integration. They have already suffered as earlier Ministers

sought to " upgrade " their systems by arranging for allopathic doctors to lecture

their students and also introducing allopathic principles into their syllabus.

This has resulted in very confused medical graduates.

 

Medicine, proper medicine, cannot be taught as a career. One should have the

innate urge to help the suffering. Intuition and faith, both concepts smirked at

by science, have a very large role to play in all alternative methods.

Cut-and-dry education does not help increase ones intuition and neither does it

help inculcate the qualities of compassion and care that are absolutely must for

a physician.

 

How many people in India are aware that there are highly reputed ayurveds and

homeopaths in India who are eagerly sought after by American and European

students? These students travel all the way to India to learn from these

teachers. The growing popularity of alternate methods in the West have alarmed

the modern doctors resulting in biased articles in medical journals trying to

deride these methods. This is not science but the manifestations of the same

greed for power that brought the downfall of organised religion in the past.

 

It is a sham perpetuated by the medical community that alternate methods " are

not sufficient " to tackle the myriad diseases that plague us today. To the

contrary these physicians have all along been pointing out the flawed and narrow

concepts of present day medicare. The sooner we see through this sham the better

for us.

 

Today the concept of euthanasia has reached Indian shores. This is a very sad

state of affairs. Patients have to be killed because they cannot bear the

torture of modern methods. And yet people continue to shower praise on these

" doctors " .

 

However you can point out specific flaws in my own inferences.

 

Regards,

Jagannath.
