Product Description
Most disease is caused by poor diet. Most disease is chronic and cannot easily be cured within one or two weeks but instead months and or years, if you eat well, for months, years. The right way of eating is universal as there is only one body, therefore only one way to eat. One diet (central theme plus two variations, spices and herbs) can prevent and or cure most disease. There are only two diseases: overbuilt (too hot) and under built (too cold). There are only two kinds of food, nutrients: building and cleansing. The correct balance of building and cleansing produces and maintains the correct amount of blood, structure and function where the body mind can thrive. Any amounts, greater or less, in the extreme, tends to weaken, sicken and pain via too much (overbuilt) or too little (under built) blood, structure and function.

Le theme peut sembler banal mais incorpore dans son contexte historique c'est une revolution. Je conseille fortement le livre aux francophones a tendance materialiste ... et aux gourmands philosophes. ... Read more
