This review is from: Tibetan Book of Healing (Paperback)

We have a whole world-class system of medicine that we all use. In fact, it is pretty
good. But what if you could examine another world-class system? Now, I don't mean herbology or whatever. I mean a whole world-class system of healing that
includes meditation, nutrition, astrology, medicines, surgery; the whole bit. Like
examining another world! Well, Tibet was isolated from us all and had to create
their own medical system. And I think that you should know it. Now I don't have cancer or AIDS like you may have. But I have had liver pains for 25 years. I went
to an internist and he could find nothing wrong. For my body-type (fire), stress
can cause liver pains in Tibetan Medicine. This relieved me so much. Because it
was true. I just had not realized it before. My liver pains happen when I'm stressed!
So I don't worry about it anymore. This book is not a replacement for conventional
medicine. And it may not help you at all. But it will give you a wider perspective of your body. In Tibetan Medicine, the very best thing that you can do for your health
is to avoid the ten negative actions (Please buy and read Yeshe Dhondon's "Healing
From the Source.") Then you need to find out your constitutional body-type. There
are seven body types. Basically, a mesomorph is a fire type. And the best diet is
vegetarian. I have a little ectomorph (actually, a lot) mixed in with the mesomorph,
so I am lucky enough to be able to eat eggs, fish, and poultry. It's all a question of balance. From there we go into all sorts of things; enemas, herbs, meditation, astrology. But we start with behavior and nutrition. Oddly enough, the Tibetans
did not put a great stress on exercise. Perhaps they walked a lot. Your guess is
as good as mine. Please buy this book. Just look into another world. I do think that
it will help you no matter what. And I hope that you are blessed with happiness.
