Answer by dr.zuki22
The Holistic approach of medicine refers to the use a wide range of different non-conventional therapies or a combination of non-conventional and conventional therapies. For example this includes acupuncture. Herbal remedies, massage therapies and life style counselling. A holistic approach is when you are treated not just with medication for a specific problem but by focusing on the entire body as a whole and aspects of your diet and life style. There are many different holistic approaches to medicine and it depends what your complaint is and where you are going to get treated. Be careful with Chinese medicine as it may or may not be harmful. The problem with holistic medicine approaches is there isn't enough evidence to back up that they in fact work.

Best Answer: Answer by m_if_you_please Firs of all. I don't think anybody want to die, just to make the human race stronger. Second. Our intelligence are caused by natural selection. To not use our intelligence to cure disease would be unnatural. There have been attempts to make the human race better by selection. For instance the killing of Jews in the second word war or the castrating of women deemed unfit to be mothers. What do you think? Share your thought by leaving a comment here. Thanks
