Why Holistic Anarchy?
MISSION:
The mission of Holistic Anarchy is to offer you thoughts about food, health and healing that may be different from what you’ve heard before. Our main interest is to help you think carefully about your health and to make decisions that work for YOU.
Now, a few words about our name, and that “A” word in particular…To many people, the word “anarchy” has dangerous connotations. It conjures up images of a lawless society inhabited by wild gangs roaming the streets. But that’s not what anarchy is really about. Here’s a definition – with the help of Webster’s and Wikipedia:
Anarchy is derived from the Greek word “anarchos”, meaning “without rulers”. The word as most anarchists use it does not imply chaos, but rather a society that is based on the emergent order created by the voluntary association of free individuals operating on principles of mutual aid and self-governance.
In other words, we make our own rules.
And the definition of “holistic” is simple:
Holistic (sometimes spelled Wholistic) means emphasizing the importance of the whole and the interdependence of its parts. In health care, it means looking at the individual as a whole entity, not just as a collection of body parts. It means accepting all possibilities, even those considered to be outside the mainstream, such as naturopathy, herbology, bodymind therapies and simple good nutrition. In nutrition, it means choosing whole foods rather than individual nutrients, as the synergy between the nutrients in whole foods cannot be duplicated by swallowing separate pills.
Put ‘em together, and that’s what HolisticAnarchy.com is about. We believe in the interdependence of the parts to create a unified whole. And we believe that healthcare should operate on principles of mutual aid and self-governance.
