Holistic medicine: Holistic health care is taking into account the whole person, body mind and spirit as opposed to just the physical complaint(allopathic). There are physical mental, and spiritual responses to every health challenge. Main stream physicians can treat holistically and alternative medicine doctors are more know for holistic approach. Although alternative doctors can still treat sympotmatically.

Oral Pathology: Looking at oral pathology to find the root cause of disease. Take a look at the book "am dead or do I just feel like it". I have a free e-book on my website, 8 holistic dental tips. Please feel free to download it. www.holisticdentistlasvegas.com.

Theory vs. Practice?: In theory, wholistic takes into account that health/disease is beyond body issues. As embodied souls connected to a mind, complex+fragile brain controlling a complex+fragile body with millions of orders/sec, issues of health/disease are integrated at all levels, not just body ; not just reactions to body issues/handicaps/pain. Unfortunately, in my experience, most offered is low quality/simplistic.
