English "Allopathy" Medicine- its limits :( plusses! & minusses?
Why bring up this topic on modern medicine? Science, Technology and medical profession has progressed by leaps and bounds. Medical profession has given humans and living creatures a healthier, safer and longer lifespan to live by putting onhold, ridding the world of many diseases. But is english medicine having a remedy for all ills? This opens up a very interesting debate...
If you have an ailment and go to your friendly doctor, he checks you and gives you a course of treatment. Simple infections are treated with antibiotic pills, vitamin supplements, syrups etc., If you don't get cured fully you are put on to a lab test regime and prescribed different **cins. No two doctors agree on the medicines and have their own way of treating patients. You will be lucky if you are blessed with one who doesn't bombard you with bills, pills with plenty of side effects and a weaker constitution...Many doctors take you for a ride by not clearly telling you whats wrong with your body? many tests and investigation follow, take you through a nerve wracking journey testing your limits of patience and strength before concluding on some diagnosis.
This ill of improper and delayed diagnosis is eroding ones confidence in english medicine. Many doctors don't even touch you before writing down a list of medicines which is atrocious. I remeber as a kid the doctor used to interact more and diagnose more accurately than present day specialists....Ayurveda relies on the time tested practise of detecting ones disease by starting with feeling the nadi,...The balance of vatha, pita and kapha is studied [ Cosmic, chemical energy balance of your body] and then only you are diagnosed.
This takes us to the alternatives available. One naturally checks out other medicinal systems which promise cures when confronted with incurable physical health problems. Ayurveda, homeopathy, siddha and other holistic treatments gives permanent cures to many ailments which are only treated synptomatically in allopathy and get no lasting cures after sustained use of english medicine. You are left with high toxicity from all the chemical drugs dumped systematically on you treated as a guinea pig for researching their experimental medicines.
I do not dent that there are life saving treatments in english medicine like 100% successful heart, kidney, even brain surgeries, transplants, tumor removals, etc., But there are several grey areas like spine, neck, nervous, paralytic problems which have either aggravated or remain uncurable for many patients across the globe. These cases are either approached from one view ( ortho/ neuro/ etc.,) and ultimately get other views after subjecting the patient to lot of trauma, psychological stress, pain yet are only rid them of symptoms but the disease remains hardened. Be wise when you visit your doctor next ? WHO is the question???
This debate will continue.....
