I bill myself as a “holistically minded” doctor. What I mean by this is not that I have any formal training in “holistic” care – I haven’t, for example, done a course in functional medicine, or in acupuncture. Rather, I have always had the bias that the human body is a wondrous and complex machine about which even we 21st century doctors know very little, and that many health problems can be either averted or healed if the body is simply given the optimal environment and left to do its own thing.
