What does holistic medicine involve?
Holistic medicine, also known as regulative medicine, views a person as a functional unit. Symptoms of illness are always an expression of a more general disturbance of the body which can be cured by activating the body's ability to regulate itself. Holistic medicine looks for the causes of a disease and provides the body with a way of providing its own lasting cure for the illness.
The top priority is to improve the body's overall metabolic status. Modern techniques to detoxify, eliminate waste and stimulate the immune system are used in combination with other activating therapies. The reason why the body displays symptoms disappears, and the symptoms become less pronounced. This is a completely different approach to the one taken by conventional medicine. It creates considerably greater well-being - particularly in the longer term - and reduces the body's susceptibility to disease.
In particular, the improvement is a lasting one and there are no harmful side effects because healing is brought about by the body's own powers.
