A holistic physician will work with you to develop a treatment program designed to assist you in healing. Other holistic practitioners may also be recommended, but the idea that anyone else can “fix” your problem is not a part of the holistic model. Most illnesses and disabilities are the result of a complex interaction of events, habits, and choices and are not amenable to Band-Aids or “sweeping things under the rug”—approaches that do not address underlying causes.
