Sample Book Insights:
#1 The practice of Western medicine as we know it began less than two hundred years ago, when the American Medical Association was founded in 1847. The first pharmaceutical companies were formed around the same time, and in the intervening years, the two industries partnered to set unprecedented prices and reap sky-high profits.
#2 Antibiotics are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to synthetic pills’ risks. Long-term use of most medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, can cause serious nutrient deficiencies.
#3 The more drugs you take, the greater the risk of an adverse reaction, which means that people over age 65 are particularly at risk. The government has for years disregarded, ignored, and sometimes even maligned information about safer ancient alternatives.
#4 The pills that are making you sick aren’t the only way to treat disease. I wrote Ancient Remedies to let you know that, and to share with you the best of the ancient secrets from a variety of healing traditions around the world.

#1

The practice of Western medicine as we know it began less than two hundred years ago, when the American Medical Association was founded in 1847. The first pharmaceutical companies were formed around the same time, and in the intervening years, the two industries partnered to set unprecedented prices and reap sky-high profits.

#2

Antibiotics are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to synthetic pills’ risks. Long-term use of most medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, can cause serious nutrient deficiencies.

#3

The more drugs you take, the greater the risk of an adverse reaction, which means that people over age 65 are particularly at risk. The government has for years disregarded, ignored, and sometimes even maligned information about safer ancient alternatives.

#4

The pills that are making you sick aren’t the only way to treat disease. I wrote Ancient Remedies to let you know that, and to share with you the best of the ancient secrets from a variety of healing traditions around the world.

#5

While Western medicine has made great strides in treating disease, it has also created many side effects along the way. Herbs such as saffron, ginseng, and chamomile can help treat mood disorders, but they are typically ignored or written off by American doctors.

#6

Meditation, movement, and opioids are all examples of modern drugs that could be replaced by safe, ancient alternatives. Meditation has been proven to alleviate anxiety and depression, while movement and opioids have been shown to be effective at treating mild to moderate mood problems.

#7

The opiate epidemic is made even more galling by the fact that pharmaceutical companies have long known how addictive their drugs are, and they’ve been selling them without care for the consequences.

#8

Tai chi, yoga, and meditation have been shown to ease pain in people with a variety of conditions. They not only reduce pain but also lift depression and improve overall quality of life in pain sufferers.

#9

Western medicine has placed its faith in a medical industry that puts profits over people. But ancient healers, who did not have access to modern technology, relied on a vast reservoir of knowledge based on careful physical examination and listening to their patients’ concerns.

#10

The Western approach to medicine is one-size-fits-all. While there are many effective treatments that are tailored to individuals in all their diversity and complexity, the Western approach relies on toxic, costly pharmaceuticals.

#11

In ancient Chinese and Jewish medicine, homemade chicken soup and ginger herb tea were cold-fighting staples. They work because they address one of the underlying causes of a cold: being too cold on the inside.

#12

The ancient truth is that healing doesn’t come from a miracle drug, but from within your own body. If your immune system is strong and functioning optimally, you can fight off viruses and bacteria with relative ease.

#13

The Western paradigm is that we’re helpless without pharmaceutical intervention, but the ancient medicine approach offers real protection and leads to extraordinary health and longevity.

#14

The Western model is to treat the symptoms of a disease with drugs and surgery. The ancient model is to treat the root cause of the disease. When I opened my functional medical clinic in Nashville, I was shocked by how many patients came to see me after they had been to three, four, six, or even more mainstream doctors.

#15

The body was designed to heal itself. The healing power within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Ancient remedies complement your internal restorative ability, gently coaxing and supporting your body to do what it does best: heal itself.

#16

The Chinese medicine perspective on hypothyroidism is that it is caused by two underlying problems: low qi and low yang. Yang is related to energizing hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, and qi is related to blood flow and vital energy. When you’re bombarded by stress, your adrenals are perpetually turned on, which eventually causes them to stop functioning optimally.

#17

The power of emotions to heal and harm our health is well understood by healers in ancient cultures. Western medicine rarely takes emotions into account, but intuitively, we all know this to be true.

#18

The ancient remedies I use are based on the premise that there are three doshas, or energies, in the body: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Ayurvedic healers believe that all disease and illness come from an imbalance in these three energies.

#19

The Chinese medical approach is based on the belief that certain types of underlying imbalances are the root cause of all disease. The twelve core diagnostic and healing concepts are qi, blood, yin, yang, coldness, heat, dampness, dryness, stagnation, and wind.

#20

Qi is the internal battery that powers your body’s functions. It is fueled by healthy lifestyle habits, such as emotional strategies and physical habits. When your internal battery is powered up, your body functions more efficiently and you’re better able to fight off cold and flu bugs.

#21

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, blood is not only in charge of transporting oxygen and nutrients around the body, but also of warming, moisturizing, and nourishing the body’s organs.

#22

The Chinese have a balance of yin and yang, which refers to the balance between the opposing forces of life work and rest, dark and light, male and female. Yin and yang are found in the Chinese medicine philosophy, and they appear in the Bible when God creates Heaven and Earth.

#23

The Chinese use colors and temperatures to categorize their foods, and they use them to balance the body’s internal system. They also use them to balance the body’s yin and yang. Cold foods are those that cool the body, and hot foods are those that heat it.

#24

Dampness and dryness are two important yin-yang balance concepts in Chinese medicine. They are the second pair of TCM’s pernicious influences. Excess dampness is caused by being too sedentary or having problems with your digestive system, while excess dryness is caused by dehydration or a yin deficiency.

#25

stagnation and wind are the final two pernicious influences that can affect the body. Stagnation is characterized by a lack of internal movement, while wind is characterized by too much movement.

#26

TCM practitioners use a variety of tools to diagnose patients, including examining the tongue, feeling the pulse, and examining the facial complexion. They believe that each part of your face corresponds to a different organ.

#27

The ancient medicine renaissance is happening right now, and it’s a promising sign that more people are becoming disenchanted with Western medicine and are turning to ancient remedies.

#28

There is no single perfect diet for everyone. Our bodies are as unique as our individual fingerprints and our genomes, which means we respond to food in different ways. As a result, we need a customized approach to eating that suits our unique makeup.

#29

The five elements structure is similar to the ancient prototype for personality tests, and it remains the most comprehensive. It explains how every person is a unique composite of all five elemental categories, but typically one or two elements best represent how they think and feel.

#30

The five elements paradigm can help you achieve hundreds of health goals, from conception to healing after surgery. It is important for you to understand where you fit in the five elements system.
