I used to see wholistic used frequently back in the 70's, and I prefer it because it connotes the sense of wholeness which is the whole point (no pun intended). Body, mind & spirit...natural health and well-being. As the w disappeared holistic got shoved more into a cultist, or even religious, corner, especially by those who tried, and are trying, to lump everything not supported by *their religion under a "New Age" heading and demonize it.
