True health isn't complicated; it is hiding in plain sight. Your organs, hormones, and cells react constantly to the environments we create for them. By mastering how diet and herbs control the physical state of the body—balancing the hot and cold, the dry and watery, the building and the cleansing—you gain the master key to curing disease.
 Health is normal thick, thin, dry, watery, spongey, solid, hollow structure and optimal digestion, respiration, elimination, locomotion, reproduction, immunity, sleep, vision, memory, sleep Disease is abnormal—excessive building (protein, saturated fat, cholesterol, animal food), thickening, hardening (tumors, stones, atherosclerosis), thinning (osteoporosis, emaciation), fire (hyperacidity), water (edema, polyuria), dryness (skin, eyes, mouth, joint cracking), painful inflammation, severely impaired or painful bodily functions 
 
 
Everything—the body, health, disease, the sun, the earth, and all matter—changes, builds up, and breaks down as an ongoing product of cause and effect. Most diseases have multiple causes (such as diet, medication, a sedentary lifestyle, climate, viruses, and toxins) and effects (symptoms). While some of these changes, causes, and effects can be controlled, altered, or eliminated, others cannot.

 

Nutritional deficiencies, ecesses and poor diet represent the leading cause. Most diet-related and some non-diet-related diseases, if not too severe, are generally curable via a correct diet and herbs. This is why I (#1-4), others (#5-7), and those I have counseled or met (#8) were able to cure, without doctors, drugs, surgery or nutritional

The cure is temporary as poor diet will recreate the same or different disease.
You do not need 200+ herbs or formulas, as there are only five core flavor categories. Because herbs within the same category overlap and share similar therapeutic effects, you generally only need access to 40 to 50 common ten staple kitchen spices, and five select herbs each from the bitter, sweet, sour (includes astringent) and salty categories. My  50+ herbs You do not need (for the most part) nutritional supplements, which do not replace the vitaility nor match the nutrition of sun and earth enriched food, not a  laboratory product. You do need to know biology, matter and energy (Table of Contents) to properly diagnose and adjust the physical and energetic nature of the body and all its parts, body, mind and spirit. 

Discover how the right foods and herbs help your body heal, and why the wrong choices bring back illness. This natural healing guide combines modern science with ancient food energetics. You will learn how to diagnose and find the hidden dietary root of most diseases.
