"Holistic" is like the one word associated with "alternative medicine" that doesn't really deserve a bad rap. Just means "addresses the whole" - like, physical therapy is holistic, focusing for instance on how treating an injury affects a dynamic process like walking, versus just focusing on healing the tissue or bone at the site of the injury.

Just to absolutely nitpick that to death.

Do you know what they call "alternative medicine" that works? MEDICINE!

Well, this is a tangent. My comment wasn't even defending "alternative" medicine. But, the assumption there would basically be that every actually effective treatment that previous cultures/methodologies had identified has also been identified by modern "Western" medicine. It may be a good rule of thumb but it's not universally the case.

😂 Absolutely fair. I made that comment like 10 minutes after waking up and I knew I should've used a different word but couldn't think of something more appropriate at the time. But to keep your context preserved I'm not going to edit it.

Technically true but it has been cooped by the believers of homeopathy and chiropractor bullshit.
