Guest guest Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Hi everyone, I'm organising a seminar on 14th November in Fulham, London with the Director of The Hippocrates Health Institute (Florida) (www.hippocratesinst.com) teaching the concepts of their nutritional and detox programme. It's open to patients and practitioners alike. I shall be translating the TCM perspective of the diet, which has PHENOMENAL results on practically every pathology, although not focusing necessarily on the TCM owing to the mixed audience. At a later date I shall organise one for TCM practitioners only and let you know when. Because of the last minute opportunity to put on this seminar time restrictions prevent advertising, so it's by word or mouth and networking. Together with the details of the event I have here included a letter sent to Western/TCM/Ayurvedic practitiones in and around London. This letter helps elucidate a little the raw/living food TCM connection. Any comments, discussion, interest welcomed and gratefully received. Blessings Nadia Nadia Brydon MNIMH. Dip. Phyt. Dip Ac.

BRCP (Qualified in Western and Chinese Herbal Medicine, Acupuncture, Ayurvedic Lifestyle and Massage Therapy, Iridology, Reflexology, Aromatherapy, Bowen Therapy, Lymph Drainage Massage, Hippocrates Health Educator, currently training in Homeopathy) Address: 309 Duncan House, Dolphin Square, London SW1V 3PW Phone: 020 7798 8142 Mobile: 07860 659537 email: nadia Dear Colleague, Have you ever wondered how to gain more confidence and effectiveness with your herbal treatments? And therefore have greater self estem, feel more fully alive, enthusiastic, energised and more fulfilled in your work as a privileged practitioner of herbs and educator of health. For ten years as a full time practitioner of Western Herbal Medicine and Chinese Herbal Medicine et al, I felt frustrated and often disappointed as a practitioner. I knew I was doing the work I loved, still somehow my self esteem was low as a result of that something I could never quite put my finger on. Finally this manifested as feeling burnt out, tired, lacking in energy, a feeling of groping in the dark and never feeling good enough despite my 20 or so certificates and yards of letters after my name and an excellent reputation as a herbalist ................................until last Autumn when a chance invitation to speak over a weekend about herbs at a raw food retreat in Spain changed my life forever and my whole understanding of what true health really is, how to teach it to patients and to personally achieve it. During that retreat for those 48 hours I was immersed in eating their food which was raw and living foods (as taught by the Hippocrates Health Institute founded by Dr Ann Wigmore 50 years ago). There was no choice. There was nothing else to eat! Within 24 hours I felt 20 years younger! It turned my entire TCM and Ayurvedic philosophy on it's head, which advocates that raw food damages the spleen energy, is cold, promotes dampness and depletes Yang Qi. I had fully believed this to be true as I followed a very strict dietary regime 20 years before which advocates a lot of carrot juice. My spleen was definitely more damp and cold as a result. Consequently I was afraid of raw food. Therefore for 15 years I had eaten an extremely healthy (or so I thought) COOKED vegan diet following the Ayurvedic and/or TCM philosopy. Having had a special interest in food for health, studying western nutrition, Ayurvedic nutrition and TCM nutrition at any given oportunity in order to advise my patients with the latest research and best dietary advice alongside their herbal treatment. So great were my eyes opened that weekend in Spain that I gave up my practice of ten years in order to learn more of this 'living food'. In January I went to the Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida to study this method. Never leaving stones unturned I then travelled throughout the States visiting celebrated raw and living food establishments learning all I could, in order to bring back to the UK as much information as possible to share with those wanting to improve their own life or the lives of their patients, with the EXTRAORDINARY benefits of living food. It is now 9 months since I set off on my quest. A perfect period of time to birth something! I am now returned, armed with the most incredible information to share with anyone wishing to open their minds, eyes and mouths to a timeless way of eating that transforms and transports the mind, body and spirit beyond one's wildest dreams I am therewfore thrilled to be organising a one day seminar with Brian Clement, the Director of The Hippocrates Health Institute, on 14th November at The London Haven in Fulham. I invite you to book up for this event and learn why living foood TONIFIES and WARMS the Spleen Qi, Yang, Yin, Blood and even the Jing, activating every aspect of the body's self healing, rejuvenating mechanisms.
