	Holistic Medicine or Orthodox Medicine and Reductionism?
		Practitioners of holistic medicine on the one hand, who base their practice on the philosophy of holism, strive to attain a condition of optimum health and believe that the cause of ill health begins with our environment and the fundamental nutritional building blocks of which we are comprised and upon which our every function depends.
		Furthermore, holistic medicine, being a grass roots movement which has long struggled to survive against continuing condemnation from academics and orthodox medicine (2a, 85, 86), is exactly the opposite of post modernism which was born in the halls of academia (77, 78).
		Since mainstream medicine, the instigators of corporatised medicine, have long sought to persecute or outlaw alternative medicine (112), it is hardly surprising that corporatised medicine refuses to acknowledge or accept the validity of alternative therapies (119).

		Holistic medicine has become the new trend in veterinary medicine and is introducing several new methods of treatment.
		Holistic veterinarians try to convince their patient’s owners that commercial pet foods are not the only thing that an animal needs; they try to show an animal’s owner that by mixing raw meats, vegetables, and fruits into their animal’s diet that the animal’s health will improve.
		As a result of holistic veterinary medicine, pet owners do not have to put their pets ‘to sleep’ when they grow old or ill. Holistic medicine is proven to be able to help many problems that animals have that conventional medicine would not be able to.

		Holistic Medicine is the art and science that addresses the whole person, body, mind and spirit.
		Holistic Medicine is the emerging medical specialty that incorporates the art and science of (1) caring for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit — to treat and prevent disease; and, (2) empowering patients to create a condition of optimal health far beyond merely the absence of illness.
		At its essence, the practice of holistic medicine embraces a spirit of interdisciplinary and physician-patient cooperation, balances the mitigation of causes with relief of symptoms, integrates conventional and complementary therapies, and facilitates the experience of being fully alive.

		Complementary Medicine is often used by "conventional" medical practitioners to refer to non-invasive, non-pharmaceutical techniques used as a complement to "conventional" medical treatments such as drugs and surgery.

	Post Modernism and Holistic Medicine
		Although alternative medicine is generally seen as a feature of post modernism (1, 6), so much so in fact that alternative medicine is allegedly beginning to be embraced as mainstream orthodox medicine (6), the situation regarding holistic medicine is a little more confusing.
		Claims that holism or holistic medicine is part of post modernism (4, 8) are contradicted by other claims that post modernism leads to "fragmentation" (3, 7), which is the opposite of holism.
		Alternative medicine owes its popularity to the failure of, and hazardous nature of, orthodox medicine, and the fact that it is effective (1, 6, 10, 12).

		Therefore, it is possible for some medical doctors to be holistic in how they deal with their patients, and it is true that not all practitioners using alternative therapies are holistic.
		If you are interested in a career as a holistic practitioner, you must first become qualified in one or more methods of delivering healthcare, such as chiropractic, massage therapy, medicine, naturopathy, or psychology.

		I think that the move towards holistic medicine was begun by a few conscious souls rebelling against health care which was high tech, un-personal, authoritarian, and increasingly bureaucratic and commercial.
		As more of the treatment outcomes of holistic practitioners are getting reported in the scientific literature as showing efficacy, safety, and positive benefits, a greater degree of acceptance and acknowledgment by conventional medicine is being seen.
		Some states are now passing laws to protect and support the practices of holistic providers, as they have sometimes been the subject of harassment by their more conservative colleagues, for their different orientation, techniques, and approaches to health care.

	holistic medicine
		Holistic medicine refers to alternative health practices which claim to treat "the whole person." To holistic practitioners, a person is not just a body with physical parts and systems, but is a spiritual being as well.
		The mind and the emotions are believed to be connected to this spirit, as well as to the body.
		Holistic practitioners are truly alternative in the sense that they often avoid surgery or drugs as treatments, though they are quite fond of meditation, prayer, herbs, vitamins, minerals and exotic diets as treatments for a variety of ailments.
