Holistic Medicine is based on principles of practice from many diverse disciplines and healing traditions, many of them much older than the scientific method. However, a great deal of good scientific research has accumulated in the last 50+ years which validates therapies used in Holistic Medicine. The literature has been summarized and compiled by Robert Anderson, MD in The Scientific Basis of Holistic Medicine and forms the body of knowledge upon which the American Board of Holistic Medicine rests.
