^^^agree.

Holistic or "natural" is as much a label as anything else. It's kind of like "organic" and stuff like that. Basically anything that is not mainstream medicine is labelled with words like this. It is marketing as much as anything else owing to the widespread misconception that those words are synonomous with "good for you".

Regular steam saunas get over 150 degrees inside. Well over it often. Definitely not "natural", lol. Then the "infra-red saunas. They are cooler but how can bathing your body with infra-red light be "natural"? Pools are filled with chlorine. In other words everything has risks.

Holistic itself has nothing to do with "alternative" medicines exclusively or "all-natural". It's really become a mis-used marketing term. Holistic just means "whole" as in considering every aspect of a person's life when dealing with their health. Such as their environments and such. If a doctor considers more than just treating the symptoms of an illness with medicines but also considers the underlying factors contributing to illness they are taking a holistic approach. But that doesn't speak to certain protocols. It is more an attitude or concept than a "thing" although it has beome known as as that.

You might say it's all sematics but semantics is THE tool when it comes to marketing to our health.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
