   Hi!! many of the people you nurse may have some hidden malaise which is not apparent, and is a possible reason for them feeling ill, or what ever it is that they are being treated for. Holistic means the whole, body, soul, giving plenty of T.L.C. Unfortunately nurses are usualy rushed and cannot give a lot of time to patients, more`s the pity. In days gone by the hospitals had a lay person, or a parson on the wards to give such attention; but alas no more, if one wants such a service they have to request it. Loneliness is more likely to be the root cause of this type of “illness”

   why do doctors like prescribing medicines that kill like vioxx, celebrex and chantix?
   Doesn’t it make more sense to take natural stuff that is meant to keep and maintain your health?
   Nobody ever died from a drug deficiency but they get ill from a nutritional deficiency so why not correct the deficiency with correcting the lack of the natural?

   Like acupuncture helps people who Believe it. You have to try different treatments to help some patients. The rationale is – you never know what’s going to help, so give it a try.
