Diction help needed urgently.

Dear friends, I'm debating with some guy on the merits of Allopathy, he simple hates allopathy, but that's not a problem or question. My problem or question is what correct word I'd use in my sentence to describe him: haters of allopathy would argue..( I mean something like this) or allopathy haters or allopathic haters. I have checked reverse dictionary also but didn't find any specific term for such types of guys. So would it be correct to use terms like these (I mean does these terms makes sense) : haters of allopathy...., allopathy haters.. or allopathic haters..

Sorry if my question doesn't come under rule.

Thanks

Allopathy is not the sort of thing one 'hates' or 'loves'. I suggest ' disbelievers in allopathy '.

Razerallopathy haters or allopathic haters
Hi Razer

I would understand "allopathy haters" to be "people who hate allopathy".
I would tend to understand "allopathic haters" to mean "haters who are allopathic".
Razerhaters of allopathy would argue
That strikes me as a more formal way of saying "allopathy haters".
