Question:
Whatis a holistic doctor?

A holistic doctor is a "regular" academic kind of doctor plus an alternative therapist doctor?

Answer: A holistic doctor is a blend of conventional Western medicine and alternative medicine. These M.D.s incorporate at least one type of complementary medicine — perhaps acupuncture or herbal therapy — into their medical practice. The holistic doctor offers the perfect solution for patients who want to benefit from both the technological advances of Western medicine and the preventive, natural approach advocated by complementary modalities. Holistic medical doctors have earned the post-graduate degrees of either medical doctor (M.D.) or doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO), and they have completed their three-year residency doing patient care. In addition, the practitioner has several years of study and clinical training in one or more alternative therapies, including biofeedback and stress management, body work, nutrition, herbal medicine, spinal manipulation, homeopathy, and acupuncture.
