HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH by Linda Clark

For the sakes of clarity iwillbegin this book by discussing and defining serveral terms which might puzzle you.

First, the spelling of the word, “wholistic” as opposed to “holistic”, used by many others. Wholistic and holistic both mean the same thing; the whole approach to body healing, derived from the greek word, holos, meaning whole. The holistic spelling was first used by some professionals and then by others without knowing why; it just was the thing to do at the time. But as an ordained minister said to me, “many lay people mistakenly consider holistic holistic a religious term, which it is not”. To the general public, wholistic correctly conveys the meaming of “wholism” or whole health. This is the spelling I prefer and use – since I am addressing this book to the public. I hope that to avoid further confusion, more and more people, including professionals, will begin to use wholistic which really tells the story like it is.
