"There may even be a bioenergetic link to the physical symptoms allopathic medicine associate with Alzheimer disease. However, as with most things bioenergetic, many systems come together to form complex informational networks, and the brain is an integration point for most of these networks. So, as an example, while the Stomach Driver links to the prefrontal lobes, Kidney Driver links bioenergetically to brain tissue as a whole, and Heart Driver links bioenergetically to the midbrain." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Homeopathy has been proven to be more effective than mainstream or allopathic medicine in the treatment and prevention of disease without harmful side effects. In a frequently quoted bit of American history, it's reported that the cholera outbreak in 1849 saw allopathic medicine have death rates of 48-60% while homeopathic hospitals had a death rate of only 3%. Today dentists and even veterinarians are increasingly turning to homeopathy. There is also renewed public interest in homeopathy due in some part to the threat of terrorism." - Alan E. Smith, UnBreak Your Health: The Complete Guide to Complementary & Alternative Therapies (Get the book.)

"However skilled we may have become at manipulating the functions of our body through the tools of allopathic medicine, this basic law of nature cannot be suppressed or violated without paying the hefty price of side-effect-riddled suffering and pain on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. I fervently challenge the statement that cancer is a killer disease. Furthermore, I will demonstrate that cancer is not a disease at all. Many people who received a "terminal" cancer sentence actually defied the prognosis and experienced complete remission." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Yet, this is exactly how allopathic medicine deals with cancer. In cancer, a more or less a permanent traffic jam has developed in the body, but this traffic jam has been caused by a holdup somewhere else. No longer can nutrients, such as oxygen and glucose, be delivered to their destinations, nor can cellular waste products be cleared away. Instead of using toxic drugs or surgical "bulldozers" to destroy or remove cells that have been affected by the traffic congestion, seeking the initial holdup that has led to the congestion in the first place would be a far wiser course of action." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "As you might know, cancer cells are filled with all sorts of microorganisms. allopathic medicine does not really explain how they get into the cells, unless they are viral. Most doctors assume that the germs come from the outside, but this assumption is unproved (and was even disputed by Louis Pasteur himself, who invented the germ theory). As the brilliant scientists Bechamp and Enderlein demonstrated, these germs are created inside the cells in response to the presence of toxic waste material that the body is unable to remove." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "Purely mechanistic approaches to treating the body, as they are applied in the system of allopathic medicine, usually fall short in locating and healing these hidden causes. They will remain undetected unless we begin to view the body as a process that is organized by a superb combination of energy and information or intelligence rather than as an assembly of different parts such as we would find in a machine. To treat the body as if it were composed merely of cells and molecules is akin to applying technology straight out of the Middle Ages to our present day world." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"NES is based on a set of principles and concepts that is quite foreign to allopathic medicine. Because Peter was dealing with energetic structures, albeit quantum ones, and not the specific parts of the physical body per se, the clinical emphasis of the NES health care system is focused at the energetic systems level, not the physical symptoms level. The Infoceuticals do not directly affect anything physical in the body, for all of the organs and physiological processes and such are subsystems of the larger body, which itself is under the control, energetically, of the full body-field." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Giving up on allopathic medicine for any of these unproven alternatives just doesn't make sense. Some of my patients tell me they feel better after taking supplements. The problem with such a testimonial is that it is from only one individual. While improvement is wonderful even for one person, you can't count on being number two. The FDA never allows a drug to come to market until it has been shown to work across large numbers of patients." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"In effect, NES and some of the other complementary medical systems, such as TCM, are working via the energetic and informational feedback loops that are not evident in the biochemical model of healing of most allopathic medicine. According to our research, these feedback loops are what drives the body's biochemistry." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Homeopathy was widely practiced in the 1800s, with successes greatly exceeding allopathic medicine, which used combative drug therapy. The pharmaceutical industry and the American Medical Association squeezed homeopathy out of the health practice picture in the early 1900s by discrediting it and providing financial support to only those medical colleges that offered instruction based on pharmaceuticals. In the last decade, however, homeopathy has made a comeback, especially among naturopathic physicians." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"The late 1800s witnessed the rise again of allopathic medicine, as well as the promotion of traditional doctors to a godlike status, the promulgation of the germ theory as the cause of disease, the technological progress of processed, cooked foods in cans and jars and the earliest beginnings of motivational advertising." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Traditional Western medical techniques fall under the heading of allopathic medicine, and serve us well as far as they go. But when they fall short, I try treatments some physicians would never think of trying—as long as they're safe. These methods aren't routinely taught to medical students, but they seem to help some people feel better. I view them as complementary to my usual medical approach. But let me be clear: I have a set of rules for trying these treatments. Those rules are relatively simple, but they are still rules." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"She urges Americans not to socialize medicine, explaining that the only ones who profit are the pharmaceutical companies. allopathic medicine focuses only on treating illness, not on creating health. Taxpayers' money would go much, much further in creating real public health by funding natural therapies and preventive measures via health education. Not only would this be cost effective, but there would also be no adverse side effects. This is not happening because people have been brainwashed into believing that the men and women in white laboratory coats always know best." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"For people new to bioenergetics and biophysics, and even for those familiar with complementary medicine, it can take a huge conceptual leap to not think in terms of allopathic medicine, in which there is a one-to-one correspondence between a disease and an organ or physiological process. That is not usually true in bioenergetic healing. So let's take a moment to discuss the logic of bioenergetic healing, which can seem almost completely opposite to the logic of conventional medicine. THE LOGIC OF BIOENERGETIC HEALING In conventional biology, the body has a physical and a biochemical reality." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.)

"Cousens was not satisfied with the results he obtained from the use of allopathic medicine. He began exploring various diets to find the right way to eat to enhance one's spiritual life. After an amazing spiritual awakening experience, he was eager to find a diet that would reinforce that state. Eventually, he discovered the raw food diet and wrote about it in Spiritual Nutrition and the Rainbow Diet and again in Conscious Eating. He established the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, a live food retreat located in Patagonia, Arizona." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Alternative Medicine There's a difference, then, between complementary medical techniques that can work alongside allopathic medicine even though they come from other traditions, and alternative medicine that turns its back on the traditional approach outright. Some examples would include the belief of some chiropractors that spinal manipulation can treat diseases such as asthma, or the idea of homeopathy that diluting a toxin a million-fold makes it able to relieve symptoms that are similar to those produced by the toxin. Some people believe there is an herb to treat every complaint." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"In what is known as allopathic medicine, physicians are trained to seek out "the differential diagnosis"—a disease name that alerts the doctor to what disease the patient has from a larger group of disorders with similar symptoms. Often, the doctor doing the diagnosing is a specialist—trained to look specifically at the neurological, gastrointestinal, or rheuma-tological aspects of disease—but certainly not all bodily systems together." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Western medicine is allopathic medicine, an attempt to cure disease by trying to create conditions opposite to those of the disease. If the disease increases your temperature, allopathic medicine tries to make you colder. If the disease causes a cancer to grow in your body, allopathic medicine surgically removes it or burns it out with radiation. If the disease causes pain, allopathic medicine gives you a pill to u„m??,*u??? . block it.

"The irony is that most of the dangerous and deadly drugs used in traditional allopathic medicine have not been proven to be effective or safe. And of course those that have were proven using tunnel vision, looking only at the symptoms being treated and not at the overall resulting health consequences." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"It is no longer administered in allopathic medicine for that reason. The alkaloids are severely mucous membrane-irritating and after resorption have, by inhibiting inactivation of the sodium ions channels, a paralyzing effect on numerous excitable cells, in particular those governing cardiac activity." - Joerg Gruenwald, Ph.D., PDR for Herbal Medicines (Get the book.)

"A patient accustomed to allopathic medicine might be baffled by an acupuncturist who inserts a needle far from the site of the symptom. Many alternative therapies look for the one log that is producing the jam, and shift just that one. Once it is shifted, the rest of the jam takes care of itself and the body's full power comes to bear on re-creating homeostasis. 8. Si ream to Appropriate Treatment Paths Some conditions are obvious candidates for conventional medical treatment. Others are unlikely to respond to this approach." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.) "It's important for each of us to have at least a rough idea of whether our condition can be effectively treated by allopathic medicine, or whether the best leverage point comes from an alternative therapy. One of the most intriguing experiments in setting up the clinic of the future—one that encompasses both conventional and alternative approaches—is an establishment called the Integrative Medical Clinic of Santa Rosa (California), or IMCSR. Robert Dozor, M.D., and his wife Ellen Barnett, M.D., Ph.D., established their treatment center in 2001." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.) "What is frightfully wrong is to presume that conventional allopathic medicine is the whole of medicine. This is like the drum thinking that it's the whole orchestra: while it might be a fantastic drum, providing exactly the right drama and exactly the right effects during its assigned parts in the symphony, when it starts to sound continuously, the result is a cacophony that masks subtler sounds." - Dawson Church, The Genie in Your Genes: Epigenetic Medicine and the New Biology of Intention (Get the book.)

"All general practitioners would be trained in at least one other therapeutic approach besides allopathic medicine. The community health centre would not simply contain the general practitioners, but a large number of other health-related groups and classes. The health centre or surgery would provide a forum for people to form their own groups. Whether they were of mothers, fathers or patients with particular illnesses, these groups would arrange their own activities and discussions, some of which might inform the direction of practitioners." - Martin J. Walker, HRT Licensed to Kill and Maim: The Unheard Voices of Women Damaged by Hormone Replacement Therapy (Get the book.)

"In a frequently quoted bit of American history, it's reported that the cholera outbreak in 1849 saw allopathic medicine have death rates of 48-60% while homeopathic hospitals had a death rate of only 3%. Today dentists and even veterinarians are increasingly turning to homeopathy. There is also renewed public interest in homeopathy due in some part to the threat of terrorism. Sequential Homeopathy is a relatively recent development in the field to address multiple blockages or problems. This method uses multiple remedies to reverse the chronological layers causing each problem." - Alan E.
