    Because we fail to think of/treat things holistically, preferring a quick fix of targeting components. Specialized treatment has a place but it’s better to integrate it with holistic thinking, if not treatment.

          Half of the degrees used by holistic doctors are pseudoscience with little to no evidence supporting them. Chiropracty has proven to be more damaging than helpful and have gotten people paralyzed and even killed.

            Yep. That’s why I said integrative. Let me be clear: I mean doctors with medical degrees that would consider the diagnosis in relation to sleep, diet, physical and mental stressors, lack of/exercise etc.

              I was going based on the article you linked. But I can see a true medical doctor working with and coordinating the patients and their specualist doctors would be valuable.
