"Oriental and Ayurvedic medicine regard an ailment such as dysentery as a problem of weak digestion rather than as an infection, which is how Western medicine sees it. An Oriental or Ayurvedic physician would ask, 'How would the bacteria survive if digestion proceeded at a normal pace?'"
"In the early part of the twentieth century, many health problems were considered to be the result of a disturbance in the normal intestinal flora." (And that is exactly the view science is headed back to!)
-Great looking recipe for traditionally fermented (no special equipment needed) ginger beer at the back. Can't wait to make it!
-This book knocked both fat and milk! Because it is from 1996. Makes me wonder what has been discovered about ginger in the last 20 years. (That being said, I doubt it differs that much from what has been known about ginger for over a thousand years--its super super good for you, especially if you have stomach issues or are sick or have aches or a sluggish body.)
