A quick note from a former Greek student:  allopathic means 
other-disease:  in other words, a vision of disease as emanating from 
outside the body.  If it were "against" pathos it would be 
anti-pathos, or possibly antipathy.

Peace,

Martha

"I don't believe in charity.  I believe in solidarity.  Charity is so 
vertical.  It goes from the top to the bottom.  Solidarity is 
horizontal.  It respects the other person.  I have a lot to learn 
from other people."

- Eduardo Galeano
