Summary
This paper has indicated that modern scientific medicine is quite different from “allopathy”
which was originally defined as suppression of disease symptoms by an agent producing
the opposite symptoms.
The term Homœopathy does not express cure and it is suggested that a new term such
as Symptom Stimulation Cure or the initials S.S.C. might be more acceptable.
Hahnemann's four original examples of allopathic treatment, i.e., laxatives, blood
letting, alkalis and opiates are discussed in the light of modern medicine which confirms
his criticisms of this method, which is not the best in acute illness and is harmful
in chronic disease.
Drug addiction and the abuse of mood altering drugs are given as examples of the dangers
of allopathic practice today.
Modern scientific medicine has accepted most of what Hahnemann taught, but still refuses
to consider the minimal dose.
