What’s the difference between holistic and alternative?
The word “alternative” in this context means substitution. It was coined by courageous medical doctors who pioneered a change from the established route of using pharmaceuticals and surgery as a solution to most medical problems. “Wholism” (now spelled holism – from the Greek “holos”) is a radical departure from alternative. Working “holistically” means looking at the entire person and finding a path to healing – (as opposed to “curing”). Healing starts with the will, the opportunity and the follow thru. Do all three and healing is the result. We are happiest serving.
