Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Shalom Yehuda, I am very enthusiastic about dietary therapy and use it often with my patients. I would love to start a few threads concerning dietary therapy, since the education at the schools often does not provide significant instruction. I was fortunate to have a great teacher, Eyton Shalom, who presented a great eastern nutrition program. What texts do you find helpful on the topic??

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hi Eti, In my 3 years plus of school, I have essentially had 2 profs who addressed the energetics of nutrition, Karen Hentoff and Gary Archer. Most of what I apply in practice is culled from class notes, the two books on nutrition that I mentioned: Lu's book and The " Tao of Nutrition " by Ni, and integrating and harmonizing that information with what the Rambam (Maimonides) presents in Hilchot Deot chapter 4 as well as his 10 medical books. BTW, I was told yesterday that the Rambam practiced iridology. I intend to check it out in his medical books but have yet to confirm it. Take care and Shabbat Shalom, Yehuda ______________ The best thing to hit the internet in years - Juno SpeedBand! Surf the web up to FIVE TIMES FASTER!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Dear Eti, As a Nutrition Educator, I also recommend reading " Digestive Wellness " by Lipski (with Bland's foreword), " Total Wellness " by Pizzorno, " The Healing Power of Foods " by Murray, and the Jook (Zhou1 or Xi1fan4 in Mandarin) Book by Flaws. As we discussed before, a healthful and balanced diet (and lifestyle) must form the foundation of any treatment plan that is designed to promote healing, and ultimately will result in homeostasis. Also, give some thoughts to hormones, pesticides, herbicides, food additives, MSG, and other substances found in our foods and herbs, and advise pt to try to eat " cleaner " , as in locally grown, organic foods, as much as possible. And yet, don't freak them out with it. The idea is to lessen the " toxic load " , the work load, on the liver, and therefore creating an environment conducive to healing, and an organism ready for tx. with whatever modalities you choose.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Yehuda, My understanding is that the Rambam examined the eye in his thorough examination, but not in the manner of modern iridologists. The closest material I've found to iridology (which I have some problems with) is in the Tikunei Zohar, which discusses different iris qualities and colors and relates them to different constitutions and temperments. But perhaps this is a discussion for a different forum. On Friday, July 11, 2003, at 09:10 AM, yehuda l frischman wrote: > BTW, I was told yesterday that the Rambam practiced > iridology.
