Dietary Wisdom According to Traditional Chinese Medicine

This book presents both the traditional Chinese teaching on preventive & remedial dietary therapy as well as addresses such modern Western concerns as high cholesterol, candidiasis & obesity. The author begins with an introduction to the basic theories of Chinese medicine as they relate to digestion, diet & health. He then goes on to discuss Chinese dietary recommendations for the most commonly seen Chinese patterns of imbalance amongst Westerners. After talking about the Chinese medical views on food allergies, candidiasis, cholesterol, obesity & coffee, the author breaks revolutionary new ground by describing all the common vitamins, minerals & amino acids as if they were traditional Chinese medicinals. This allows Westerners for the first time to pick & choose orthomolecular supplements according to the wisdom & theories of Chinese medicine. Next comes the Chinese medical descriptions of approximately 200 commonly eaten Western foods. Under each food, the author give its nature & flavors, channel gatherings, Chinese medical functions & indications. Armed with this information, if one knows their Chinese medical pattern of disharmony, anyone can determine whether a particular food is good or bad for them. The book is rounded out with an index & bibliography. The text is written in a clear, straightforward style suitable for laypersons with little or no prior knowledge of Chinese medicine.
