Holistic Medicine

Hippocrates, a father of modern science, once said, "Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well."

The Loma Linda University Healthcare Pediatric Wholistic Medicine Clinic promotes the philosophy that healing comes from within and that the body has an amazing ability to heal itself.  We believe that disease appears when the body’s healing mechanisms are not working properly.  Health will return when the body is given the help it needs to heal itself. 

We use the term “wholistic” to emphasize our effort in evaluating the person as a “whole” and understanding the important connections between the mind, body, and spirit.  Health should not just be an absence of disease, but rather robust well being in mind, body, and spirit.
