Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Lisa, You can order it ( Tao of HealthyEating) from Flaw's website: www.bluepoppy.com In fact, I usually give one of the other layperson's titles when I begin a course of therapy, mostly because throwing out a lot of suggestions/lifestyle information during the initial treatment is over stimulating for often fearful or nervous first timers. It gives them in print what you are going to tell them in the office anyway, and then they have a basic foundation of the medicine and may make insightful observations they will share with you on the next visit. This will further help you to key in and refine the treatment, so they get better faster, which in this state is imperative since it is ALL out of pocket expense.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Lisa, Just go to bluepoppy website and click on " lay person titles " . I carry the entire series, which they sell at a discount if you buy in bulk. I include the book with the price of the first treatment. It is also nice to have a set of these books out in the waiting area, because a lot of people don't realize that TCM/acupuncture is MORE than just orthopedic pain management. There are about a dozen titles ranging from PMS to IBS, and all the stuff you see/treat commonly. Anne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Anne, Thank you for the book recommendation. Maybe it is a little more patient readable than the Pitchford book? Many issues are connected with what we eat. In Pitchford's book he also discusses the environmental impact, spiritual content of various foods, as well as the effect of different cooking methods on the yin/yang energies. It has been a good overall book for me to not only understant foods but also TCM better. I look forward to seeing Bob Flaw's book Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 Anne, You're right about it being overwhelming to give out a lot of suggestions the first visit. What is the name of the `other layperson's titles' you give out? I'd like to see it. I generally spend about 1 1/2 hours the first visit, follow-up appts last around 30-60 " between the acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, lifestyle discussion. I'm periodically revisit my patient education literature to see how to improve use of time which is a concern for everyone as well.
