This book is full of wonderfully condensed facts, statistics, gathered understanding across all schools of medicine. Insightful and provoking. I think it is a handy tool. But I will warn, from my personal experience working with it, this book does have a macrobiotic-esque bias. Though it appears to be a full spectrum of knowledge, the information surrounding the medicinal elements of animal based products (poultry/fish/meat/eggs) is limited. Ive used knowledge from this source as well as other domains- finding the facts and flaws present in the book through my own experience. I went in all the way- fasting, vegan, high grains, food combos, herbs, no sugar, etc. etc. However when i began integrating animal foods, my health changed tremendously. This is a wonderful source, but please dont follow my wrong footsteps- do your own experimenting, and learn from it, play with the books written ideas through your own dynamic moving life :) Vegetables: broccoli, cabbage, bell peppers, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, asparagus, garlic, cucumber, onions, ginger, etc. urn:oclc:27338287 Republisher_date 20120407053249 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20120406130117 Scanner scribe18.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Worldcat (source edition)

The diet includes a few simple steps that involve making some simple switches in your diet. Best of all, unlike other diets with extensive, complicated rules and regulations, the healing foods diet relies on three basic principles: 1. Swap out Unhealthy Fats Making a few simple swaps in your diet and filling up on heart-healthy foods as part of the healing foods diet is a simple way to reduce the risk of heart disease to keep your heart healthy and strong. The combination of scientific explanations with descriptive pictures of how energy works and moves is a living example of just such ‘balance’ in the whole approach Paul Pitchford offers. This then fits with the Chinese conceptions of heat and cold, the English (though not necessarily confined to it) aspects of passion and rationality. While some distance is required to make observations of one sort, reading of pulses requires a ‘hands-on’ approach for sensing what cannot be seen. This suggests an imbalance in the use of the senses within the western framework not allowing a full diagnosis to be implemented. Here the science sits alongside recipes and preparation methods. Explanations are given about types of proteins available rather than assuming meat as the only, or even the best, source. Different angles of approach allow clients and their practitioners to determine the needs of specific cases, and experiment within a frame of knowledge and its variants. In addition to promoting healing with whole foods, the healing foods diet also ensures you get the important vitamins, minerals and antioxidants your body needs to support overall health.Embark on a transformative wellness journey with Paul Pitchford's bestselling Healing with Whole Foods. This comprehensive handbook goes beyond the simple integration of traditional Chinese Medicine and modern nutritional science: it's a beacon of wisdom and insights for individuals committed to healthful living and holistic practitioners alike. Condiments: hummus, guacamole, apple cider vinegar, mustard, salsa, balsamic vinegar, liquid aminos Plus, this simple eating pattern is a great way to ensure you supply your body with a steady stream of the nutrients you need to help prevent nutritional deficiencies in your diet.
