More than a medical journal!
What an insight into Asian food! Anyone who believes in good diet, psyche and spirit this book is for them. It outlines the warning signs of illnesses and makes clear recommendations about foods and herbs that can be used in order not to worsen the illness. I haven't practiced any of the recipes, generally eat right anyway, but a couple of people who have read the book and practiced have actually recovered from their ailment, and some even from very severe conditions. I can, of course believe, on a common sense level if the health problem is arrested with right diet the body can heal itself and be stronger again.

I would strongly recommend this book for those who are constantly visiting doctors and having medicines for every little problem with their body. You can be healthy again but you need to take charge of what you put inside; they say stomach is the root cause of all illnesses. And if you throw the right stuff in it will it pay you dividend. So start thinking of your poor stomach who is so reliant on you!

Ah, it is worth getting an extra copy or two to keep handy for a near and dear one. I got it as a gift! I personally think, the information in the book is worth every penny spent.

Another Paul Pitchford Classic
I'm into the health food movement like a lot of people nowdays. Unfortunately most books and programs don't cover all of the many ways to get and stay healthy. Although the above book listed is an excellent resource. It's like most authors and programs are trying to be too pc (politically correct). To correct myself a little, most health advice, programs, books and supplements usually offer pretty good advice these days.You know:
1. Don't alcohol
2. Don't abuse drugs
3. Don't smoke (cigaretts and the like)
4. Eat move live fresh fruits and vegetables.
5. Eat less process foods and meats.
Now all of this is good advice, although there is a right way and wrong way to do anything. I saw an excellent book with a good 8 step plan. Search Amazon for: The Magic Of Mother Nature's Healing Foods. I liked it.

Some Secrets about the Diets for People with Stomach Ulcers?

Everybody knows that a stomach ulcer is a difficult stomach illness but if one is dieting the illness won’t make any inconveniences. So here are some secrets of diets for people with stomach ulcers. a3.jpgThese diets should be mechanically smooth. It means that rude fare irritates stomach mucous membrane and receptors that complicates ulcer healing. That’s why food should be boiled in water or cooked on a steam. It also can be baked in the oven but not until it becomes browned. The menu should exclude products with cellulose. Turnip, radish, bean, unpeeled unripe fruits, berries with rough skin (gooseberries, currants, dates and vine berries), bread made of coarse grinding flour, sinewy meat. These diets should be also chemically smooth. It includes products culinary treatment and selection of dishes and products that have weak succagogue effect. Meal temperature plays a major role. It shouldn’t be higher than 57—62 and below 15°C. Too hot food burns stomach mucous membrane. Damages it and supports ulcer. Too cold meal come to duodenum from stomach very quickly which is also very bad. One mustn’t’t eat ice-cream, drink cold and fresh liquids. A great attention should be paid to proteins, which help to heal damaged tissues and to create new ones. There are many proteins in meat – beef, veal, rabbit meat, chiken, turkey, low-fat pork. Fried pork, duck, goose and game are excluded from the diet. One should limit his sweet taking on the first diet stages. They can easily irritate the stomach. Common salt number is also reducing in the diet. Salt raises secretory function of the stomach and increases inflammatory reactions. How long the diet should be kept? The diet should be kept for 2-3 months. It’s better to do that on spring and autumn as exacerbation usually takes place in these seasons. Here is the example of the first day of the diet for people with stomach ulces. First Breakfast Natural steam omelet – 70g, milk slimy porridge (rice, oat, semolina) - 200g, milk - 200ml Second Breakfast Kissel of fresh berries (or berry or fruit juice) – 200g. Lunch Milk slimy soup (rice, oat, semolina) – 200-300ml, meat steam soufflé – 100-150g, fruit or milk kissel Snack Milk or kissel – 200ml Dinner Milk slimy porridge (rice, oat, semolina) – 200g, a soft-boiled egg (or steam or boiled fish soufflé) – 200g, dog rose kissel – 100g Before sleep Milk
