Is Holistic Health Care Even Possible?

Pick up any guide to alte ative health-care and you will find a plethora of therapies claiming to be “holistic”. Everyone today seems to agree that the human being should be treated as a whole, but does anyone really do it? Is anyone even capable of doing it? Allopathic medicine has been severely criticized for treating symptoms or conditions rather than treating whole people. But is this really a fair criticism?

The Correct Use of Muscle Testing in Nutritional Evaluation in Applied Kinesiology

When I’m meeting new people at a social or a networking event, I introduce myself as a Doctor of Chiropractic and an Applied Kinesiologist. Sometimes they have no idea what AK is and I fill them in. But most of the time, they will say something like “I had someone touch a spot on me and then pull down on my outstretched arm. It was weak. Then I held a bottle of pills and was told I needed them.
