- Doctor of Medicine, M.D. (Holistic physicians)
Holistic Physicians are medical doctors who practice some type of natural therapy, such as homeopathy, acupuncture, nutrition, or other specialty. Holistic physicians assume that all aspects of life create and comprise a total state of health. They analyze nutritional, emotional, environmental, spiritual, and life-style values of the client to treat the individual rather than the disease. The treatment usually consists of several procedures, each appropriate to a different aspect of the client's life. The goal is to achieve a fuller, more unified sense of well-being. A holistic physician forms a cooperative relationship with the client and assists him or her in the process of self-healing. The clients learns that self-responsibility for health plays an essential role in the healing process. [Light Emerging, The Journey of Personal Healing]
