Good day. I’m a bit behind today. It’s been a rough start. While I believe in holistic health, there are a couple of concerns I have. Let’s take a look at what the Bible has to say. Enjoy you’re weekend and be Blessed.
Taken from gotquestions.org
What does the Bible have to say about holistic medicine?
Answer: Holistic medicine is defined as a system of health care which fosters a cooperative relationship among all those involved (patient, family, and healthcare professional), leading towards optimal attainment of the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of health. According to the American Holistic Health Association, “Ancient healing traditions, as far back as 5,000 years ago in India and China, stressed living a healthy way of life in harmony with nature. Socrates (4th century B.C.) warned against treating only one part of the body ‘for the part can never be well unless the whole is well.’ Although the term holism was introduced by Jan Christiaan Smuts in 1926 as a way of viewing living things as ‘entities greater than and different from the sum of their parts,’ it wasn't until the 1970s that holistic became a common adjective in our modern vocabulary.”
Holistic medicine seeks to address all systems of the individual to improve health, heal disease, and maximize well-being. The holistic belief is that health has more than just a physical component and is, in fact, also related to the mental, emotional, social, and spiritual state of the individual. To be healthy, all facets of a person must be addressed, and all must be treated for there to be true health. Healthcare professionals using the holistic approach work in partnership with their patients. They recommend treatments that support the body's natural healing system and consider the whole person and the whole situation. Alternative methods of therapy included under the umbrella of holistic medicine include, but are not limited to, nutrition, herbal medicine, spinal manipulation, body work medicine, "energy medicine," spiritual attunement, relaxation training and stress management, biofeedback and acupuncture.
The maximizing of health is certainly in line with the Scriptures. The Bible is clear that we are to take good care of our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) as they are the temple of the Holy Spirit. There are many verses that speak of using “medical treatments” such as applying bandages (Isaiah 1:6), oil (James 5:14), oil and wine (Luke 10:34), leaves (Ezekiel 47:12), wine (1 Timothy 5:23), and salves, particularly the “balm of Gilead” (Jeremiah 8:22). Many of these treatments would be considered holistic today, as holistic medicine often shies away from drugs and surgery at least as first treatments. In addition, many Christians have benefitted from principles embodied in holistic medicine.
One word of caution is in order. Many holistic health advocates recommend techniques for spiritual wellness that may ultimately be in conflict with Scripture and even become open doors for demonic activity. Because of its roots in ancient Eastern cultures, holistic medicine often advocates transcendental meditation, a technique for emptying the mind and becoming “one with the universe.” It encourages participants to seek the answers to life's difficult questions within their own conscience instead of in the Word of God. It also leaves one open to deception from God's enemy, who searches for victims that he can turn away from God (1 Peter 5:8). For the Christian, meditation should center on the Word of God, His attributes, and the beauty of Jesus Christ, the Great Physician.

I pray that you and I focus our time and energy wisely and that we have discernment to know truth from error, my friend and brother-in-Christ PO1 H Gene Lawrence and sister-in-Christ Linda Lawrence.
LORD YOU allow both truth and error to exist in our lives. I pray that YOU give each of YOUR own adopted children wisdom and discernment to see the underlying truth in anything which strikes our interest.
I pray that YOU guide the mind and hands of those who prepare meals, medicines and supplements for YOUR adopted children, our family members and close friends. Deliver us from the evil one and his false prophets and all his schemes to deceive the very elect.
Protect the minds of parents of young children as well as their grandparents and guide them in all ways to strengthen their relationship with the children and protect them from evil influence.
I lift up each widow, widower, and all others grieving tonight and pray that YOU put a hedge of protection around each and allow only what can benefit each to pass through that spiritual wall.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.
