  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).

 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.

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).

 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.
