Holistic medicine: Alternative Medicine Dictionary on Holistic medicine

Holistic medicine:

philosophical approach to health care which treats the patient as a whole person, not simply as a disease process or a collection of symptoms.

”CHF is a North Carolina grassroots organization dedicated to educating the public about health care issues. Our mission is to improve the health and well-being of our North Carolina community by empowering individuals and families to make freer and more fully informed health care decisions.

CHF is currently following the nationwide trend by supporting a health freedom bill in North Carolina. In March 2005 we  joined with a federation of organizations, a consortium of health care providers, and health conscious citizens in order to continue to promote a NC health freedom movement. The federation penned and proposed a health freedom bill, and together with our House Bill Sponsor we are working hard to spread the word and get this bill to become law. Please read about it and join our network of supporters.”
