why "including Chi Nei Tsang"?

Why include "including Chi Nei Tsang" under the list of holistic health practices? The others in the list are broader topics. If "chi nei tsang" is included, why not the whole army of specific modalities? Reiki, qigong, reflexology, on and on... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.225.42.221 (talk) 18:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Good point. Fixed. -- Brangifer (talk) 20:19, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Massage

Massage therapy has been shown to actually work, so it is not a form of alternative "medicine". [[1]] I'm removing it from this list. Maxitaxixi (talk) 21:34, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Holistic health = alternative medicine?

The first paragraph claims these two are different, but then it is implied in the final paragraph that they are the same. What am I to believe? I would like to think that holistic health does not have to refer to new age spiritualism, but it is not clear here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.123.6.204 (talk) 04:03, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Alternative medicine isn't strictly synonymous with New Age spiritualism, although it is often included as a subset of alternative medicine. -- Brangifer (talk) 04:28, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

This is a case of the same word having two completely different meanings in medicine and among the alternative practitioners. I'll try to come up with a better formulation in the lead to make the distinction more clear. -- Heptor _talk 06:48, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
