Holistic Medicine is the art and science of healing that addresses care of the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. \nGenerally this means using non-western methods to heal, or combing western, eastern and new age medicine. Some examples of holistic medicine are: nutrition, herbal medicine, spinal manipulation and body work medicine, "energy medicine," spiritual attunement, relaxation training and stress management, biofeedback and acupuncture. \nHolistic medicine has a longer history than modern medical practition and though many people are skeptical, it can be a much better form of  treatment than the impersonal treatment most hospitals give today becuase it treats the whole person, not just the disease.

Absolutely!\n\nI have a degree in "mind and body transformational psychology", and a lot illnesses are caused my mental, and emotional distress.  \n\nWhen you are not happy, you are out of balance, and it will cause minor medical conditions, that that can turn into major medical conditions.  \n\nObesity is one of the fastest growing medical diseases, and much of it is caused by stress, or abuse.

Nutritional medicine is when you specificaly use nutrition as treatment to an illness, e.g. using vitamins to treat an illness like a cold or flu (vitamin C). Nutrition in general is just what you are eating for maintenance of health.

Biological medicine may be one kind of\nalternative medicine, one that is based\non friendly micro-organisms that promote\nhealth and well-being. Use of minerals,\ncrystals, aromas, etc. are other kinds\nof alternative medicines.\n\nI've found that EM (Effective MicroOrganisms)\nis a good way to remain healthy - whenever\nI feel a cold coming on (which is seldom),\nI drink about 1 tsp. of that and it knocks\nit out right away!\n\nFor more info on EM, check out this link:\nhttp://www.emtech.org/

Medicine as a treatment:\nI believe a medicine to be something that would cure an ailment, a remedy to treat abnormalities of body defects and functions, an agent that will relieve sufferings and pain, a supplement that will lead to a happy and healthful life, and most of all I believe that a medicine should be something that gives no harm to someone who takes it. I believe that  medicine should be made with the main motive of helping the well being of potential takers; business purposes should not be the main concern of its production.☺

It's amazing that although this question is posted in the Medicine section, there is no medical-informed answer before (and including) this one!\n\nLater addition:\nOK, the problem is that the concept of "madness", "mental illness" or "insanity", is too wide and complex to deserve a unique definition.\nA simpler scenario is the legal one (taken from the omnipresent Wikipedia), where a person is defined "insane" when presents inability to either determine the difference between "right" and "wrong" (or, in a more practical or direct sense, "legal" and "illegal") or understand the consequences of one's own actions.

Yes, it can be just as bad, or even worse than, a physical illness.\n\nSome mental illnesses are related to chemical deficiencies.  If the person takes the right supplement, the mental illness goes away.  If they stop taking the supplement, the illness can come back.  so in that case, the mental illness has a physical cause - so I guess you could say it is a physical illness, in a way.

No, it is a theoretical thing. The only thing that is sure is your chance of getting ill increases. You can never prove it was the secondhand smoke, bad diet, drinking. Just that it did not help.

depression is a mental disease, so no. if you have diabetes or cancer is it a sin? it is time for society to see depression as a real disease and not something people just decide to have.

Kind of a vague question. The effects of ill health can be many and can vary widely depending on the problems involved and if they are on going or life threatening.\n There are so many things in life that cause ill health that it is only a matter of time that you experience something. But the effects will be different for each and every person.
