Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi Bill, Thanks for the citation. I'm about done with that thread (Re: eating meat) and it's sensibilities. Thanks for the journey. I've expressed my thoughts in that regard and offered my kudos to Marian. I'm glad to hear you are doing without meat consumption. I suggest a new thread. I've studied Taoist nutrition formally in Dr. Nam Singh's classes in San Francisco along with the references that the Taoist master Liu Ming has made. Master Liu Ming (formerly Charles Belyea) lives in Oakland, CA and offers classes in Taoist nutrition. The formulas and recipes do not utilize dairy. They occasionally call for meat or fish. Actually eating the meat or fish in the dish is considered a bit over the top. The broth and the vegetables are what we eat. The soups and various other dishes that are prepared are like Chinese medicine herbal formulas. In this regard ordinary foods found in the Chinese marketplace can be used both as food and as medicine. I think that the " eating meat " thread was kind of driving at this idea that diet could be used to address Chinese medical conditions. I'm merely a novice student in Taoist nutrition. Others on list may be much better informed on this topic. I'm impressed that what I've discovered in my work in clinical nutrition in the 1980s as well as my efforts to teach college nutrition over the past 18 years are reflected at a much deeper level in the traditions of Taoist nutrition. I'll pull back here and re-engage in my work. I have to manage a San Francisco company and also maintain a college teaching post. I enjoy the reading on this list, so I'm glad that Attilio got this started some years ago. I look forward to those who have knowledge on Taoist nutrition and who might wish to address this topic. Also a note to Attilio. You suggested some years ago from your experiences in Beijing a ten point protocol for abdominal acupuncture to be used daily (30 minutes) in treating obesity. You also asked for a follow up with regard to that. I'm wondering if you now have a summary of that protocol and follow up? Thanks if you have some additional information to impart. Respectfully and gratefully, Emmanuel Segmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
