"Much has been made of "holistic" health in recent times. This concept can mean a variety of things to different people. Many people lump all of the "alternative" medicines and activities into this concept, so holistic health comes to mean acupressure, acupuncture, herbal medicines, meditation, vitamin supplements, chiropractic care, yoga, aromatherapy, Feng Shui, massage and even sound therapy. Conceptually, I believe in holistic health, but not as a catchphrase for every unconventional and oftentimes unproven medicine around." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M.

"All the benefits of a holistic treatment go far beyond symptom relief. After eliminating the causes of imbalance and having rehabilitated the organ or physiological system and returning to the initial level of efficiency (visual training in this case), a person 113 feels as if he were reborn—with a new awareness and perception of himself and the entire world. In this case, "knowledge is power"—the power of influencing your own health and well-being by your lifestyle." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.) "Your mental and emotional horizons are widening toward spiritual and holistic healing—and this involves all the states of "being" and not only the physical ones. 26. How long will it take to recover from my 4.5 Din my left eye? How long did it take you to recover? Nobody can tell you in exact terms the time needed to restore your focusing ability; it's also very hard to estimate it, since it depends on many factors—your initial refractive state, the kind of work you are doing, your visual environment, and the kind of effort you are willing to make." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"We must begin to see persons with aging brains through a holistic, ecological lens—StoryBank promises to do so. We must remember that molecular genetics is but one small part of the story of cognitive change, and that brain aging is but one small part of what makes us human. Despite the "mythical" misinformation so prevalent in our media about genetic risk and up-and-coming molecular cures, there is no simple breakthrough cure that will "fix" our aging brains—not even on the horizon. This should not be grounds for consternation." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "The moral of course is that humans often fail to observe objects in their holistic complexity. When this story is seen as an allegory of modern genetic medicine, we are reminded that Western medical practice is often guilty of the myopia of the men in the story. Genetic reductionism has not led us to the promised land of personalized medicine." - Peter J. Whitehouse and Daniel George, The Myth of Alzheimer's: What You Aren't Being Told About Today's Most Dreaded Diagnosis (Get the book.) "Human health is complex and holistic: No one variable in isolation can provide adequate causal explanation for disease patterns among ethnic groups. For more than fifty years there has been a persistent tendency to attribute health problems such as hypertension and AD amongst African-Americans to intrinsic African genes, despite extensive research that has clearly implicated extrinsic factors involving lifestyle, diet, and other ecological factors as being significant in increasing the differential risk." - Peter J.

"Diamond, a psychiatrist and holistic healer, was inspired by George Goodheart, creator of applied kinesiology, which tests the effect of various substances on the body. Goodheart developed the technique of "muscle testing," now a feature of applied kinesiology. He would ask a patient to stand facing him, with her left arm out, parallel to the floor: he placed his left arm on the patient's shoulder to steady her, and then asked her to resist with all her strength while he pushed on her arm. In most instances, the arm would spring back and resist the force of Goodheart's push." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.) "Judith Swack, a mind/body healer who has developed her own holistic psychotherapy system, says: "I look directly at the client and focus all of my senses forward toward the client and enter a receptive state where I pay internal attention to any subtle information and impression coming in like a kind of radar." Many other healers likewise enter an altered state simply by "listening to the patient"?audibly or otherwise." "Just thinking of the need to help someone," wrote Dr. Piedilato, "slows the blood in my veins." - Lynne McTaggart, The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World (Get the book.)

"It's the recent acknowledgment of this strange form of energy in mainstream science that has catapulted us into a new and almost holistic way of seeing ourselves in the universe. Belief Code 4: one another, be in two places If the particles that we're made of can be in instantaneous communication with at once, and even change the past through choices made in the present, then we can as well. In 1944, Max Planck, the man many consider to be the father of quantum theory, shocked the world by saying that there is a "matrix" of energy that provides the blueprint for our physical world." - Gregg Braden, The Spontaneous Healing of Belief: Shattering the Paradigm of False Limits (Get the book.)

"With REN E W, you take a holistic approach to nurturing your body so it can continue to heal itself naturally no matter what it faces in day-to-day life. YOUR BODY BURDEN For decades scientists have been measuring the amount of industrial pollutants in air, water, and soil samples. Relatively new, however, is a biomonitoring process designed to measure what some experts refer to as our "body burden," or the level of toxins found in tissues of the human body, which involves the analysis of blood, urine, umbilical cord blood, and breast milk." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Now it is more appropriate to let our hearts be discerning, allowing ourselves to make decisions that are more holistic, with less personal attachment, and to embrace other's opinions. It is then that we experience gentleness with ourselves as well as others. When I look at Dandelion and say that I know all there is to know about it, I'm not viewing it with innocent perception. Instead I am closing the door to any other possible experience or understanding about its character or healing qualities. My relationship does not continue to grow and the subtle nuances of Dandelion's gifts pass me by." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) "There are so many plants that could have been written about, but the ones I have chosen offer you a unique holistic view in hopes of revealing their true nature. Ultimately, I'm just translating what they want me to tell you about themselves. I have included a chapter on the triple spiral. I have discovered that the spiral shape is fundamental in nature and that the trinity manifests throughout nature and other aspects of life. Likewise, Plant Spirit Healing follows a spiral path through the triple aspect of heart, soul, and spirit." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.)

"What is a holistic M.D. ? A holistic M.D. is a licensed physician who has completed standard Western medical training and then gone on to additional education in the philosophies and methods of natural healing.

"The prudence of retaining a high calcium intake during growth for optimizing peak bone mass versus the risk of focusing too much on calcium, at least in children who have at least 800 mg/day, rather than on a more holistic evaluation of the many factors that affect bone, has been discussed [77]. The limitations of our methodologies contribute to lack of clarity, but several observations argue in support of the importance of adequate dietary calcium and bone development during childhood." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "It is an opportunity in that it gives nutrition a chance to break out of its implicit one-nutrient-one-disease mold and to focus more explicitly on total body health, not as a sop to a romanticized "holistic" approach to science, but simply because total body health is precisely the proper object of nutrition per se." - Ann M.

"Fuller's interest in holistic health began over twenty years ago when her daughter became ill and was given only a short time to live. She discovered her daughter's illness was a result of her inability to properly digest, utilize, and eliminate food. With this new knowledge, her research turned to Dr. Edward Howell's work on plant enzymes. Her daughter began plant-based enzyme supplementation and experienced rapid and lasting results. After her daughter's recovery, Dr." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"In biophoton emissions, Popp believed that he had an answer to the question of morphogenesis as well as 'gestaltbildung - cell coordination and communication - which only could occur in a holistic system, with one central orchestrator. Popp showed in his experiments that these weak light emissions were sufficient to orchestrate the body. The emissions had to be of low intensity because these communications were occurring on a quantum level, and higher intensities would be felt only in the world of the large." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.)

"I now run a holistic medical practice near Boston, Massachusetts, merging Eastern and Western medicine. Using both systems, I treat women to alleviate their many painful and unpleasant symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. Whereas Western medicine alone has afforded them no relief, I spend much of my time explaining to my patients how hormones can be used safely, and I spend too much time helping them make sense of the myriad of confusing and often terrifying headlines about hormones, menopause, and disease. That's why I wrote this book." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"The Western medical community has ended the debate over whether Eastern medicine and holistic therapies are effective, and the answer is yes. A few years ago, the Journal of American Medical Association devoted an entire issue to complementary medicine. It talked about herbal treatment, acupuncture, and more. In the past ten years, there have been thousands of research papers in conventional medical journals on these topics. Alternative treatments share the common characteristic of maximum effect with minimal side effects." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Yet there are others for whom a holistic culture is already the norm. And these people are more numerous than we may think. 76 THE RISE OF A NEW CULTURE In many societies an intensely hopeful culture is surfacing. It is made up of people who are rethinking their preferences, priorities, values, and behaviors, shifting from consumption based on quantity toward selectivity in view of quality defined by environmental friendliness, sustain-ability, and the ethics of production and use." - Ervin Laszlo, Quantum Shift in the Global Brain: How the New Scientific Reality Can Change Us and Our World (Get the book.) "There is substantial and rigorously researched evidence that the majority of the population in the United Kingdom, and other industrialized and democratized nations, is adopting a holistic worldview."

"Katz and his team at the Center for holistic Urology found Zyflamend to inhibit COX-2 about as well as the potent COX-2 inhibitor drugs. "In our test-tube studies, Zyflamend doubled the apoptosis rate and significantly slowed the growth of prostate cancer cells," wrote Dr. Katz.
