Özet:

 This study examines the social reactions toward risks that emerged during the period referred to as late, advanced, or high modernity by Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens. These reactions transformed into new social movements with a certain organizational structure. Notably, certain movements have incorporated religious references as part of their approach. Among these movements are alternative medicine and the new age, which gained prominence in the latter part of the 20th century. In contrast to traditional movements, these contemporary movements embrace an alternative way of life, reacting against the potential risks posed by the modern way of life. This study focuses on the Aidin Salih School, an alternative medicine movement that has progressively expanded its area of influence. The most important reference sources of the members of this movement known as Real Medicine are Prophets Medicine. This concept serves as the Angel of History as an alternative to the modern way of life for the followers of Real Medicine. In this context, the aspiration is to reinvent the era of Asr-ı Saadet,  a period believed to have fully embraced the Prophets Medicine, as a form of retrotopia an idealized past. The study aims to examine the motivating factors behind the Real Medicine movement as a representative of the alternative medicine movement and to scrutinize the social dynamics that shaped their adopted way of life.

 Araştırmada, Ulrich Beck ve Anthony Giddensın geç, ileri veya yüksek modernite olarak tanımladıkları dönemde ortaya çıkan risklere karşı oluşan toplumsal tepkiler ele alınmaktadır. Türkiyede modernitenin sebep olduğu risklere karşı oluşan tepkiler, belli bir örgütsel yapıya sahip yeni toplumsal hareketlere dönüşmüştür. Bu hareketlerden bazılarının dini referanslarla hareket ettikleri görülmektedir. 20. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde görünür olmaya başlayan alternatif tıp ve yeniçağ bu hareketlerdendir. Bu hareketler, eski toplumsal hareketlerden farklı olarak, modern yaşam tarzının ortaya çıkardığı risklere karşı tepkisel hareket ederek alternatif bir yaşam tarzını benimsemektedirler. Araştırmada bir alternatif tıp hareketi olarak ortaya çıkan ve etki alanını her geçen gün arttıran Aidin Salih ekolü ele alınmaktadır. Gerçek Tıp olarak bilinen hareketin mensuplarının en önemli referans kaynakları Tıbb-ı Nebevidir. Bu kavram, Gerçek Tıp takipçileri için modern yaşam tarzına karşı alternatif bir yaşam olarak Tarih Meleği görevini görmektedir. Bu açıdan Tıbb-ı Nebevinin tam olarak yaşandığına inanılan Asr-ı Saadet dönemi, retroptopya olarak yeniden icat edilmek istenmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı, bir alternatif tıp hareketi olarak Gerçek Tıp hareketinin motivasyon kaynaklarını incelemek ve benimsedikleri yaşam tarzının altında yatan toplumsal dinamikleri irdelemektir.
