CCH,

I don't want to impose anything on you. Just looking for the ONE truth...can't be two truths.
Hahnemann's "allopaths" no longer exist. The word doesn't even exist outside Homeopathy.[/b]

CCH:Yes, there can be several truths in simultaneous existence--and perhaps you'd better consider the validity of your own "sacred" and threatened truth in light of the other ones.
Example, please, of several truths. What truth of mine are you referring to?

Quote:
Yes, Hahnemann's "allopaths" do, in fact, exist. They may be using different "substances", but the methods and the mindset exist today absolutely unchanged. "Same ****, different year"...I'm sure you've heard that somewhat fitting phrase. It applies here beautifully.
I didn't know what "allopath" meant until I read the Organon. Nobody I know knew the term either.
Why might that be?

Quote:
"Allopathy" does in fact exist as a word completely outside of homeopathy. It existed as a word in medicine before Hahnemann, and it exists as a word after him too. It is absolutely NOT a word only homeopaths use. I daresay there are a vast number of medical historians who are very familiar with the word as well...and who may know little about homeopathy as a specific medical system.
I note how you never give examples supporting your statement. Allopathy, like virtually all English words, has an origin going back centuries.
