Modern medicine : misconceptions in terminology of allopathy and drugs

By
Allopathy
The modern medicine is wrongly termed as Allopathy by many. The term Allopathy stands for "the other suffering". The term was coined when the likes of James Gregory were doing irrational treatment which consisted of using high doses which created a new suffering which was far worse than the initial suffering. Modern medicine is thoroughly rational and aims at reducing the initial suffering without causing additional suffering.
Drug
The word "Drug" has its origin from French; drug = drogue; a dry herb. Many of us have a misconception that drugs prescribed are usually synthetic and are non natural products. Many of the drugs and the word drug itself has it's origin in herbs. The difference now is we know the exact active ingredient and it's action. Drugs are now highly specific in action and are introduced based on valid experimentation.
