Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.com
Used as a reference by students of acupuncture, this is a hefty, truly comprehensive guide to the theory and healing power of Chinese medicine. It's also a primer on nutrition--including facts about green foods, such as spirulina and blue-green algae, and the "regeneration diets" used by cancer patients and arthritics--along with an inspiring cookbook with more than 300 mostly vegetarian, nutrient-packed recipes.
The information on Chinese medicine is useful for helping to diagnose health imbalances, especially nascent illnesses. It's smartly paired with the whole-foods program because the Chinese have attributed various health-balancing properties to foods, so you can tailor your diet to help alleviate symptoms of illness. For example, Chinese medicine dictates that someone with low energy and a pale complexion (a yin deficiency) would benefit from avoiding bitter foods and increasing "sweet" foods such as soy, black sesame seeds, parsnips, rice, and oats. (Note that the Chinese definition of sweet foods is much different from the American one!)
Pitchford says in his dedication that he hopes the reader finds "healing, awareness, and peace" from following his program. The diet is certainly acetic by American standards (no alcohol, caffeine, white flour, fried foods, or sugar, and a minimum of eggs and dairy) but the reasons he gives for avoiding these "negative energy" foods are compelling. From the adrenal damage imparted by coffee to immune dysfunction brought on by excess refined sugar, Pitchford spurs you to rethink every dietary choice and its ultimate influence on your health. Without being alarmist, he adds dietary tips for protecting yourself against the dangers of modern life, including neutralizing damage from water fluoridation (thyroid and immune-system problems may result; fluoride is a carcinogen). There's further reading on food combining, female health, heart disease, pregnancy, fasting, and weight loss. Overall, this is a wonderful book for anyone who's serious about strengthening his or her body from the inside out. --Erica Jorgensen -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

This book literally changed my life! I was desperately seeking an alternative to doctors and drugs and happened to choose this book at the bookstore. I couldn't put it down. The Oriental approach was fascinating and captivating. I've applied what I learned and my health and life has dramatically improved. I no longer rely on modern Western medicine. I feel that I am in charge of my own health through eating properly. I have read it cover to cover once, but I am (almost daily!) constantly referring back to it for information on certain foods and their effect on our condition. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in taking charge of their own life and spirituality and health.

I am working as a nutritionist on the basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine and this book offers a broad spectrum of combined western and TCM syndromes and how to treat/heal these with foods. All foods are described well and thoroughly in terms of TCM categories AND western categories considering not only Yin, Yang, Qi but also vitamins, minerals and other western analytical stuff.
Very useful for any TCM-practitioner or western medical doctor!

This is an extraordinary book. I got the book because I have an interest in nutrition and found the oriental traditions very fascinating. This book actually ended up helping me avoid surgery. I had pain in my upper right abdomen for several months which I tried to ignore. After several weeks of increased pain which was debilitating, I went to my internist. The end result was an ultrasound where I found out I had lots of small gallstones including a very large one. Needless to say, I was scheduled for surgery to remove my gallbladder. Thinking that I had nothing to lose, I decided to follow this book's instructions on dissolving large gallsones before I resorted to surgery. Within several days, the daily pain went away. My stones have disappeared. It has been one year and I feel great.
