[Guest guest]

Hello Vinod:

 

I would like to just say that I have totally enjoyed your comments on every

subject that you have chosen to write about, particularly on knotty diseases,

yin fire, etc. I am a fourth year student of and am inspired

by your emails. I am enlightened by your insight as well. I look forward to

any other information that you have time to share with us.

 

Thank you.

[Chinese Traditional Medicine] Re: raw v, cooked

 

 

I would like to echo Domingo's suggestion to Becky - serious disease

process by definition needs an Advisor.

 

 

When an individual finds themselves in serious pain, suffering, and

deterioration this means life has gotten out of one's control - what

has been tried has not been scientific and has either not worked or

works in a limited way - in the meantime the serious underlying

processes keep developing. This must be stopped. This is not the

time for experimentaion. Try to find someone who knows what to do

and is not just guessing.

 

I know that finding a qualified practioner can be difficult

especially for those living in certain parts of the country. But

really doing nothing is better than wasting time and money doing

things that will not work and may be harmful because of

contraindications. According to me 'doing nothing' means eating a

simple diet of rice, vegetables, fruit (all cooked) and if

vegetarian - beans and tofu - if one eats meat but suffers from a

disease then eat it in small quantities and only every other day.

The reasons for why most sick people should not eat a raw food diet

are complicated - suffice it to say that the Chinese feed warm soupy

easily digested foods for sick people - not raw food. there is a

part of the raw food system that is very valid but for healthy

people living in tropical climates - not sick people living in the

temperate and cold zones.

 

Do not overextend yourself take it easy. If one takes alcohol and or

recreational drugs then this must be stopped!!!!

 

Wish I had time to go into this subject because it is one of my

favorites - My approach to diet is related to the theory of

constitutional types - meaning that each type will have different

diseases and different ways of treating them. To heal disease with

diet therpay one needs to know the science involved. but just

keeping it simple will be very helpful. The more toxins we ingest or

create the more breakdown our organs will suffer - relieve the

stress on the organs and they will reward you with better

functioning.

 

Study of Five Element TCM will expain why diet is individual there

is no one size fits all - I have seen seriously ill people totally

recover by coming to understand how to live and eat (without

medicines or Doctors)- simple approach is the only answer many have

who do not understand the science of health and disease and do not

have access to a true Healer.

By the way Becky and others who have written to my personal address -

I am sorry that I have nothing personal to offer you - I wish I did

but it is impossible to analyze cases through the Internet - plus I

simply do not have time to answer personal mail. I am not in

clinical practice now - I am retired (whatever that means)-

therefore no one can meet me for a consultation. I am mainly retired

now and spend most of the year traveling - i have spent the summer

in Mexico - where I conducted two retreats for professionals - now I

am in Japan working on a project with a famous Zen monk who is

helping me gather information on the way of life - and death - of

Zen Monks and Nuns. I have been studying the dietary and health

theories of the Zen monks for two years with the hope of publishing

a papaer and maybe even a book on the subject. My wife and I are on

our way to India where i will spend the winter with my mother and

Father - I hope to finish a biography (in our native language -

Malayalam) of my Father - who is the greatest man I ever knew and

is a perfect example of the benefits of living a happy healthy life -

he is 86. My writings in the Internet aremething i do when I can

find the time - and for relaxation and enjoyment, lucikily we live

in a time when the Internet is avaialble in every small village -

our home town in South India of about 10000 people has about 5

Internet Cafes (maybe more now). so if i do not answer your letters

it isn't because I am cold and unfeeling - it is because I trully

have nothing to offer anyone here except through encouragement to

educate yourself about the laws of disease and health and do what

you can to come out of your trial - many before you have been

successful - it is like I say in my classes - " healing is everywhere

and is natural and easy yet most go on suffering "
