Is there any legitimacy to holistic medicine? Ive been asked to include a holistic organization as a DTC resource and Im wondering if I should push back.

Eh…there is but with heavyyy caveats. The space is filled with quacks, charlatans, and rampant misinformation that make it incredibly difficult to know what’s bullshit or real. It also really doesn’t help that there is no firm definition of “holistic medicine” nor a single governing body to validate research and issue credentials. An MD PhD with years of clinical experience is effectively in the same boat as the chiropractor who claims meditation and pineapple will cure your lung cancer. It’s a real shame for the potential impact of overlooked (and less profitable) modes of treatment and lifestyle modification.

Source: my father is a neurologist who began practicing holistic medicine late in his career due to frustrations with conventional medicine and a desire to genuinely impact people’s health vs treat symptoms.

The problem is that it’s not even remotely outdated! The majority of the space remains dominated by chiropractors and questionably credentialed people speaking about illnesses and treatments they’re not qualified to, and citing research that is dodgy at best.

I think you’ve missed the point of my post tbh. OP asked if this was legit, I said “yes but with caveats”, and concluded that it’s really hard to find the real deal unless you deeply understand the medical field or can confide in someone who does.

Absolutely. Stop thinking traditional western medicine knows everything.

Many people do perceive natural alternatives as good options so if you are doing disease ed or considering competitive landscape, I think it’s good to consider as part of the consideration set in some cases.

Of course there is…

Why or how could you push back without being well-versed on the subject?
