Modern Medicine - What Critics Say?

Modern medicine foundation on the 140 years old 'Germ Theory' has no doubt proven to be a real remedy for fighting chronic diseases, but at the same time it has been exposed to umpteen critics. Also named by the term 'Conventional', modern medicine seeks those patients who do not intake medicine habitually. Such patients are confronted to some biochemical imbalances in their bodies or bacteria ratio mismatch with their immune systems. With encompassing all the formal scientific methods to prevent human ailment through proper research, diagnosis, prevention and treatment, what is lacked by the modern medicine is its dependency upon those medical professionals whose foremost aim is to make enormous profit of it.

The most formal scientific method of curing an illness is through proper intake of medicine. That means the health care system that operates under the name of 'pharmaceutical drugs' in modern medicine welcomes the critics to believe in pharmacy. However 'pharmacy' alone cannot be held responsible for betraying those innocent patients until the money making professionals are not there.

However, critics have so much to say against modern medicine that pro-modern medicine supporters would be dubious about the invention of modern medicine. Right from the 'erroneous invention' to 'ethics', anti-modern practitioners have the following issues:

1)      Western medicine has no roots to fight the disease which is evident from Louis Pasteur's Theory; further critics believe that modern medicine is the resultant of a minor error of Pasteur (chemist).

2)      According to the anti-modern practitioners, modern medicine does not concern about the patient's recovery but it traps the patient into a disease treatment scam. Upon grabbing the patient tight, it sucks all its health and wealth at once or slowly.

Been in critics for the last twenty years, has neither influence modern medicine nor pro-mediciners, for the reason that with the growing passage of time, despite being a victim of increasing hoax, conventional medicine has embedded its roots down into a society where every patient is not medicine literate. Therefore conventional medicine founds it easier to penetrate into an illiterate town of patients, where the patient himself or herself does not even possesses the consciousness to state his or her problem clearly to the clinician. Research suggests that reasons for the complexities that occur in the field of modern medicine today, is the 'clinical uncertainty' which occurs due to incomplete or erroneous information given by the patient.

The patient is not literate about other forms of medicine, and if he really is, he does not have enough time to consider about allopathic or natural treatment. If a person is suffering from cancer, or has some kind of brain tumor, would other forms of medicine allow him to take risk deploying other forms of medicine? Does he have enough time left to rely and try other modes of medicine? Of course not! He would simply adopt modern medicine practices with the latest drugs to cure. Similarly in case of 'osteoporosis', one can rely more upon adopting allopathic or other forms of medicine. In this case nature would be the best preventive cure in the form of vegetables and fruits, if he or she is literate enough about such remedies.

Therefore, one cannot put the onus alone on modern medicine. Modern medicine works so as the other forms, however what varies are the circumstances in which the medicine works!
