Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I recently got a book by this author called Healing with Whole Foods that I am quite taken with. It seems to have quite a TCM slant. Is he well thought of in your circles? Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have found his book to be a great resource for prescribing specific foods depending on the presenting TCM patterns. He has a significant amount of modern nutrition knowledge as well. I have found that patients love to own this book too. I believe it was a required text at PCOM.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 The Pitchford book was also a required text at my TCM school. Prior to Pitchford, I had taken some independent Ayurvedic food therapy courses, nutrition courses at conventional colleges, and read food therapy books like Dr. Lu's " Chinese Natural Cures " . At the end of the day, Pitchford's book can proudly stand along with all these resources. What is nice about Pitchford as well, is that he includes some interesting recipes. The only possible drawback to Pitchford, for some, from a TCM pov, is that he is strongly vegan (not only vegetarian, but vegan). But, personally, I don't have a problem with this, as the core knowledge is applicable to all types, and the recipes can be naturally be adapted to any diet. The book is pretty thick, and I'd say a great value at the price of around $20.
