Question 4

what is the benefit of holistics?

Accepted Answer

Treats the whole pt : Holistic implies that the complete individual is treated, not just the disease. That is,  the stress, living situation, nutrition etc are taken into consideration when treating , say, the flu. This can be a good thing.  Problem is it opens the door to many intuitively hoped-for but scientifically unproven theories such as ' energy imbalances or imaginary toxins., etc.
