Holism is a word that is related to 'Wholism' and often associated with philosophies of health that focus their main concept of health as having all the parts of the organism working as a whole. Holitic and Wholistic are variations of this same root word and concept.
the opposite of Holism is called dualism, and the person mainly responsible for having it become a cornerstone of western thought is a man by the name of Descartes. He proposed that the body and mind were separate entities.
And thus later became the basis of western medicine, which is referred to as allopathic. Allopathic philosophy lead to the idea that you could cut off parts of the body or add chemicals to it and it would be cured of disease, and/or avoid death. Wholistic philosophy holds onto the belief that if a person is to remain healthy, and avoid disease, they need to keep their energy of vitality at a high level, that allows all the parts to work in harmony to create health and avoid death.

Wholism is a New Faith based on the principle that God is the Whole. It teaches that nothing exists outside of God or God would not be the Whole. You are a part of God but God is the whole of you.
