HOLISTIC HEALTH
Holistic health is a concept that all potential contributing factors which may affect a person's well-being, are taken into consideration when assessing a person's overall health. Holistic health in traditional medical practice upholds that all aspects of people's needs, physical, social, and mental, should be taken into account and seen as a whole. As defined above, it has been accepted among general practitioners and district nurses in Swedish primary care.
In alternative medicine, it is believed that the spiritual aspect should also be taken into account when assessing a person's overall well-being.The spiritual aspect is not associated with any religious ideology but rather, refers to the essence or "core self" of a person.
History
Holistic healing is an ancient science dating back to at least 5,000 years ago and has origins in China and India. Holistic healing practitioners propagated the idea of a healthy way of living, in harmony with nature.The general principle of holism was summarized by Aristotle in the Metaphysics: "The whole is more than the sum of its parts".
The philosopher Socrates also acknowledged the holistic approach and suggested that people should look at the body as a whole and not part-by-part. In 1926, the term "holism" was introduced by Jan Christiaan Smuts in his book "Holism and Evolution", and was defined as, "the tendency in nature to form wholes that are greater than the sum of the parts through creative evolution".
Holistic medicine became more recognized through the 1970's and has since become one of the accepted methods of medical practice.The emergence of Holistic health in the American medical system is recorded in nine Journals of Holistic Health published by the Mandala Society. Over 150 authorities in aspects of Holistic Health participated and are recorded in The Journal of Holistic Health.
These Journals recorded the first National Conferences on Holistic Health, conducted by the Health Optimizing Institute. The Association for Holistic Health and The Mandala Society, with the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine starting in June 1975. This continued there for ten years with about three thousand health professionals participating each year. After the second year it was not under the Medical School. These conferences supported the creation of the Association For Holistic Health in 1976, the Holistic Medical Association in 1978 and The American Holistic Nurses Association, 1979. Many regional Holistic Health Associations followed with the American Holistic Health Association being established in 1989.

Holistic Approach:
When you see your conventional provider, your visit generally lasts 10 to 15 minutes. People who provide alternative treatments often take one hour or more to find out all about you. Many health problems, especially chronic diseases, are more likely to respond to treatment when the whole person is taken into consideration.”

Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar. Diabetes can be caused by too little insulin, resistance to insulin, or both.
To understand diabetes, it is important to first understand the normal process by which food is broken down and used by the body for energy. Several things happen when food is digested:
- A sugar called glucose enters the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel for the body.
- An organ called the pancreas makes insulin. The role of insulin is to move glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it can be used as fuel.
- Their pancreas does not make enough insulin
- Their muscle, fat, and liver cells do not respond to insulin normally
- Both of the above

HOLISTIC HEALTH CARE...offering Iridology and Ganotherapy Services
"According to the World Health Organization, "Health is more than the absence of disease. Health is a state of optimal well-being." Optimal well-being is a concept of health that goes beyond the curing of illness to one of achieving wellness. Many of us have been brought up to believe that our health depends solely on the quality of the healthcare we receive. The truth is, your health is your responsibility. You are the only person who can make the lifestyle decisions that contribute to your well-being. You are the one who must take the steps to preserve your health and promote your wellness. Only you have the power to create wellness for yourself. Your power lies in the choices you make every day on your own behalf. Your behavior and the choices you make in your life affect your health. You can choose to do more of what's good for you and the world around you, and to do less of what is harmful. You can choose to learn more about your health and the variety of healthcare options available. All of us have incredible inner wisdom. As you gather information and experience, you will gain confidence in using your inner knowing to follow your path to wellness."
Holistic health care attends to the entire person, including the mind and body, as a whole, not as parts or segments. It attempts to maximize the body's own natural healing resources to combat and prevent disease. At the Holistic Health Care, we believe that while it is important to treat the immediate agents of the disease (symptoms), it is even more important to build a strong constitution. We do this by attending to factors other than just the body itself. A person's state of mind, amount of exercise, nutrition, life-style, and degree of relaxation are all considerations in a holistic viewpoint of optimum health.
