Medicine: Not necessarily Allopathic

Reference: www.islamicwritings.org/quran/medical-miracles/the-healing-sound/

"Medical science has made rapid progress during the last two centuries; treatment modes have changed. This development has been largely focused in one direction: the pharmaceutical industry driven Allopathic Medicine.

Human beings have existed in this world for a much longer time. During all the eras and phases of history cure from disease has been of prime concern to mankind. Various holistic approaches have been explored and practiced based on a variety of philosophies. Even today people seek cure through other modes like the Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Unani Medicine, Homeopathy, Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, etc. And patients do get cured with them as well."

My note: Interesting of this practising Physician to specifically describe it as allopathic medicine from the  industry driven by pharmaceuticals. A precise emphasis though not necessarily a great one, but a significant one to show that medicine does not equal allopathic ones in definition and meaning. All other types of cures, remedies, etc are also medicine.
