From the Publisher

Hot and Cold Health. written for the layman, is based on traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines and the questioning and counseling of 10,000+..

From the Author

I used to own a health food store, Food and Thought that was located in Hollywood, FL (1984-2001). I was also a licensed Acupuncture Physician (FL 1992-2002). For ten years or more I made it a daily habit to question my customers (60+ per day, five days a week, 50 weeks a year)always asking the same question, "What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?" in relation to their symptoms. Most were eating too building or too cleansing thereby developing symptoms, diseases that were over-built (high cholesterol, high blood pressure, arteriosclerosis, tumors, cancer, anger, muscle tension, fixed pain, etc.)or under-built (anemia, infertility, miscarriage, fatigue, pallor, indigestion, autoimmune illnesses, etc.). I also discovered that one diet (theme plus two variations) could prevent and or cure most disease. Most disease is caused by poor diet. Poor diet does not require a doctor but instead an education: book, teacher, etc.

I LOVE THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND, AND SIMPLIFIED. IT'S NOT A BIG THICK BOOK WITH SO MANY PAGES TO READ. IT'S A SIMPLE BOOK THAT TEACHES US ABOUT EXCESS & DEFICIENCY OF FOOD. IT EXPLAINS ABOUT HOW DISEASE SETS IN IF WE DO NOT STAY WITHIN BALANCE, LIKE OVER EATING CERTAIN FOODS OR UNDER EATING CERTAIN FOODS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK. WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT & GOOD AS A REFERENCE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stop, Don't buy or read another nutritional book before reading this BOOK, July 11, 2009

This review is from: Hot and Cold Health (Paperback)

This is a great book. Especially if you are female, and struggle with symptoms of cellulite, being over weight, sinusitis, and chronic fatique. Most female diets consist of diet cokes, energy bars, smoothies, and salads, not to mention ice cream, and other feel good foods.(at least mine did) Sooner or later,health problems with appear, and by switching to a hotter diet, one will begin to see the effects immediately. All of those symptoms were like connecting the dots, and I am now soooooooo relieved to have finally gotten a handle on what I should be eating, and getting rid of my chronic problems. This is a must read for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their own health!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D.L.

To put it simply, this book literally changed the way I look at food, the way I eat it, and my perspective on true nutrition. The principles explained here should have been taught to all of us as children to promote a long healthy life. The physical changes that I have experienced as a result of practicing the lessons taught here are like nothing else that I have experienced. It is an absolute must read!
