The terms “holistic” and “preventive” care are two of the most misunderstood phrases today. Simply put, holistic care centers itself around the consideration of the body as one whole organism rather than many individual parts. It works to eliminate the problem as opposed to the symptoms. This puts the body into a position to do what is was meant to do, heal itself.

There is a difference between health care, which is the promotion of a healthy body before illness occurs, and sick care which is the treatment of illness with drugs and surgery after it occurs. An individual does not wake up one day with diabetes, it progresses over time. Preventive wellness care is brushing your teeth twice a day when there is nothing wrong with them. Why not do that with the rest of your body?
