CPSO ignorance in using "ALLOPATHIC" medicine.as a description of SCIENTIFIC MEDICINE.

http://www.cpso.on.ca/policies/consultations/default.aspx?id=5112&terms=allopathic

 

allopathy

1842, "treatment of disease by remedies that produce effects opposite to the symptoms," from Ger. Allopathie (Hahnemann), from Gk. allos "other" (see alias) + -patheia, comb. form of pathos "suffering, disease, feeling" (see pathos). The term applied by homeopathists to traditional medicine.

On CPSO web site CEO ("Registrar")  Dr. R.V.GERACE demonstrates limited knowledge of English etymology using "allopathy" as a description of scientific medicine. "Allopathy" was coined by linguistic genius (nine languages) Dr.C.F.S. HAHNEMANN (1755-1843) who advised "fresh air, bed rest, diet, sunshine, and Public hygiene".and argued that "like cures like".

Homeopathy has been favoured by the UK Royal Family together with Scientific medicine. Homoeopaths spend at least 1 1/2 hr during a visit. The little round white pills do no harm. Homoeopaths appeal to those who want (non-OHIP) PERSONAL attention as well as (OHIP) DIAGNOSTIC  medicine. Cambridge medical graduate Late Dr. Margery BLACKIE CVO,MD, FFHOM (1898-1981) was Homoeopathic physician to H.M.The Queen.(1968).

ISMH: TESTOSTERONE & CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

• Testosterone Deficiency as a Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease
  September 26, 2011

  Male gender, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, are known risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. Increasing attention has been given in recent years to the link between testosterone deficiency and increased risk of cardiometabolic disease. Recent meta-analyses have demonstrated a correlation between metabolic syndrome (e.g., commonly defined as obesity, diabetes/insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipoproteinemia and gout) and lower serum testosterone levels.
  Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism occurs in up to 33% of men with type 2 diabetes. The Massachusetts Male Aging Study found that low levels of testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) are independent risk factors for the development of type 2 diabetes. In addition, this study demonstrated that low serum testosterone predicts the development of metabolic syndrome.
  Declining serum testosterone levels throughout a man’s life are associated with an increase in all-cause mortality and an increase in atherosclerosis, visceral obesity, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hypertension, the key components of the metabolic syndrome. Prospective clinical trials in men with prostate cancer who have undergone androgen deprivation therapy have found increased cardiovascular risk by increasing body weight, reducing insulin sensitivity, and/or resulting in dyslipidemia.
