That's why I added the caveat of saying the concept itself is sound and needs better representation in medicine. Holistic approaches are the only approaches to health that make sense. Unfortunately, many people who use that label to describe their practice just push supplements with little to no scientific backing to their claims or encourage their clients to avoid proven medical interventions to try the "natural" way at the expense of the patient's health.

"Mainstream medicine" (and science) has its problems, but many people I have met who are into "holistic" health have over-corrected to the point of being worse. I'm probably not your target audience, but that's what I hear when I hear that label.
