Talking about the benefits of some dental product or other (full porcelain restorations, I think). What would "ganzheitlich" be next to "interessiert"? TIA for your speedy help (racing against the clock a bit here).

Nikolaus is a rather unlucky loser here, but I rather like "holistically minded", so that's what I've chosen, even though Nikolaus gave a better answer in some respects. To be honest, all the answers were pretty good and helped me a lot. So I thank you all very much for your help - would give points to everyone if I could!

\"So when one of my holistically oriented patients gently kept encouraging me to seek the care of a local naturopath for my sinus infections, I had finally decided to try this\"

(That\'s not to be misconstrued as a recommendation by me! ;-)
