The Wholistic Health Professional
John Morley, BAc, MBAcC, MA, BSc, MMAA, MSocBiol Med
Within both Orthodox Medicine and Complementary Medicine there are wholistic practitioners who have an approach that seeks to take account of all of the important factors in the presenting patient and to prioritise them. They then set out to do whatever is needed, in the correct, safe order for each patient, to help the patient promote their own normal function.

The object is for the patient to recover their ability to regulate their own bodily functions as far as is possible, rather than be dependent on drugs that merely substitute for their poorly functioning body.

Practitioners with this genuine wholistic approach tend to think in terms of only good and bad medicine rather than to concentrate on orthodox vs complementary methods. The links above speak to this discussion in more depth and detail. Bad medicine in this context means medicine that is only directed at reducing symptoms or appearances and which does not apply any detective diagnostics to determine the origin and the chain reaction path of the illness syndrome, or the obstacles that are blocking the patient's ability to resolve the situation themself.
