In my opinion, a holistic approach to treatment is usually healthy and has positive results, while a homeopathic approach is pure drivel and actually dangerous.
Holistic medicine can be combined with medical expertise administered by physicians and medical professionals, with excellent results.
I just wanted to clarify this in case anyone was confusing the two terms.
Nearly all pharmaceuticals are simply poisons in small doses. I usually try to treat whatever ails me first with a more natural approach rather than immediately jumping up and running to the doctor and grabbing a bottle of prescription drugs.
As many of you know, I recently had surgery (which was quite successful - at least so far things are going fantastic) so I'm obviously not anti medical establishment. However, I chose my excellent doctor in part because he's as non intrusive as possible and doesn't simply throw a prescription at every problem.
By the way, my chiropractor diagnosed my problem - AFTER six months of misdiagnosis, and actually harmful treatment, by another doctor. My chiropractor is the one who ordered the MRI based on her observations, which led to my successful surgery.
In my opinion, that's the way holistic and professional medicine should work together. Mission accomplished!
