The ideas of approaching health holistically have been around for a long time:
"The greatest discovery of any generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering the attitudes of their minds." - Albert Schweitzer
"It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has." -Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.)
"The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while Nature cures the disease." -Voltaire
"Natural forces within us are the healers of disease."-Hippocrates
