HOLISTIC

 

When medical personnel use the term 'holistic, its contingent upon the 'school's paradigm' they were trained in.

To allopaths its basically 'nothing' unless they step outside of their lock-step with the AMA.

Promise of being 'holistic-why don't you have qualified Functional Medicine doctors? Why don't you pay for Functional Medicine doctors not tied into your HMO clinics? Why not pay for functional medicine tests? Cherry picking at its finest when it comes for 'true implementation of a philosophy'.

Osteopathic medicine is a "whole person" approach to medicine—treating the entire person rather than just the symptoms. With a focus on preventive health care, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DOs) help patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that don't just fight illness, but help prevent it, too. Their perception of 'lifestyles and attitudes'.

That is supposedly the 'center' of CenterWell's treatment at their clinics. I don't know what incompetents and uneducated people trained CenterWell's 'holistic treatment' philosophy.

Their holistic approach to alternative medical proponents is kind of a 'half-pregnant' approach.

There is the extreme lack of the ordering of certain labs, nor any their clinics having practitioners that are certified in functional medicine.

They ‘offer’ you access to herbs/supplements thru various entities, including Wal-Mart and CVS. If they were TRULY HOLISTIC, they would make sure that they were in fact the most efficacious. For example, most of their B-12 products, contain cyanocobalamin as opposed to methylcobalamin-the most effective B-12.  Do their ‘wellness’ people inform seniors of this? Probably not, as most likely their own people don’t know about this, so much for ‘full and accurate wellness information’. Yet, they expect unquestioning idolization of their personnel.
