Healers: Ideally should all be holistic. That is they should be able to know you as a full person, not see and treat you as an object. You know are with a good healer if you feel strengthened by them, not diminished. Healers can be mds, nurses, psychotherapists, body workers, counselors, clergy, naturopaths, doctors of chinese medicine, etc. Healers have different areas of expertise.

Assorted types : Many types of holistic healers. Some md's are holistic in their approach ; look at/treat root causes. Today doctors believe in examining oral pathology to find the root cause of disease. Studies show 80% of disease starts in the mouth. Book "am dead or do I just feel like it". Free e-book on my website, 8 holistic dental tips. Please feel free to download it. www.holisticdentistlasvegas.com.

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. Check http://NCCIH.nih.org
