Holistic Doctor; Two views;
#1. Holistic doctor /Physician. One view is that a holistic doctor can prescribe both mainstream medicine as well as alternative therapies, these doctors like to use the title Holistic Physician.
#2. Holistic doctor /Traditional. A Traditional Holistic Doctor stays true to the natural and wholeness concept, and will not prescribe mainstream chemical medication, or claim to be the one that “heals”. On this page we will only concentrate on the last mentioned. The holistic doctor’s goal is to achieve maximum wellness in people, where everything is functioning the best way possible. With a Holistic doctor clients accept responsibility for their own level of well-being, and everyday choices are made to take charge of one's own health.
Holistic Doctor; What is a Holistic Doctor?
A holistic doctor is a person with a doctorate degree in natural therapies.
A holistic doctor is a person who believes that when a client has something wrong, a holistic doctor should take a look at a client’s whole life, rather than to focus on just one illness, one symptom, or one part of the body. The holistic doctor will consider the whole person, and how they interact on a physical, social, emotional, and spiritual level, with everything around them. A holistic doctor believes that nature and the human body, mind and spirit, have the complete ability to heal it-self, no need to intervene with chemical medicine. The holistic doctor coaches their patients to use all of nature, mind, body, soul, and exercise them all naturally. The holistic doctor uses traditional, as well as, modern natural therapies to coach the client’s body, spirit, and mind to become whole and to prevent and combat disease.
As part of this natural process, they consider the patient as being ultimately responsible for their well-being. Of course this also means that there is no need to overpower the client with chemicals, and so take the possibility away, from the client, to be “whole” or in complete natural control. How can one be a Holistic Doctor if one takes the word “hole or whole” out of holistic, by giving chemicals that overpower the body, mind and spirit. By doing so one is no longer whole. I’m sorry but by taking the “hole” out of holistic, all you have left is “stic”, and the doctors who do this indeed use a mental “stick” to hit their clients over the head with overpowering chemicals.
The Holistic Doctor needs to be a person that evaluates and “suggests’ treatment options, suggestions that address the cause of an illness, not the symptoms. In our modern time a doctor cannot “prescribe” chemical medicine and call it suggest or recommend. There are to many powers at work, to name just three- getting medicine free- and the chemical power over the mind. – and to much power in the words “I prescribe you to do this”.
The Holistic Doctor sees each person as a unique individual, rather than another ‘cookie cutter” example of a particular disease. Disease is understood to be the result of chemical, physical, emotional, spiritual, social and environmental imbalance. Healing therefore takes place naturally, not chemically, when natural forces of life are brought into proper balance. The role of the holistic doctor is as a mentor, and hopefully also as a role model. The patient’s body, spirit, and mind must do the work—letting the client change their lifestyle, beliefs and old habits in order to make healing possible.
Holistic Doctor; What are the benefits?
The client’s social/spiritual/physical/nutritional/emotional status, the client’s lifestyle, observations and habits are all respected. Holistic Medicine recognizes the person who has the illness, as more important than just being ‘a case”, “or a number”, or “a type of illness”. Of course giving respect does not mean that the doctor must totally agree with the client, but only that the client’s point in life, and view point, is seen as a complete starting point for any requests, by the client, for change.
The Holistic doctor will always use treatment methods which will not do harm. He/She will never use chemical medicine that will supposedly “do little harm", if the holistic doctor cannot help the person naturally, he/she will step out of the way, and let another, who can help naturally, take over, this is all part of the “wholeness” concept. He/She will not be so proud as to continue treating, but now with chemical medicine, when his/her mind does not know enough naturally to help the person. Hiding behind the name “physician” or “doctor”, and not letting someone, who does not have the title, but who can do the job, is a very dangerous thing indeed.
Holistic Doctor; Joke
I have an earache: 2000 B.C. -Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. -That root is heathen. Here, say this prayer.
1850 A.D. That prayer is superstition. Here, drink this potion.
1940 A.D. -That potion is snake oil. Here, swallow this pill.
1985 A.D. -That pill is ineffective. Here, take this antibiotic.
2000 A.D. -That antibiotic is artificial. Here, eat this root.
