For the list of pseudo-cognates, how about:
Eng. 'whole'
Gk. 'holos' ?
A Google search yields 1120 sites for "wholistic medicine"
(including an International Academy thereof) versus 48,500 for
"holistic medicine".
They could be recategorized as "quackery (ignorant)" and
"probable quackery (ordinary)", but that's just my
opinion.
