Asian Nutrition &
Food Energetics
The
West has finally begun to recognize what the East
has known for thousands of years – the
healing force of common whole
foods. This is important, especially in light of the fact that
two-thirds of all deaths in America
(i.e. coronary heart disease, stroke, atherosclerosis, diabetes,
and some cancers) are attributed to
improper diet and poor eating habits. Personal internal imbalances
can be overcome through a
variety of dietary modifications.
Asian
and Western theories differ tremendously. Where
the West is more concerned about the quantity
of organic compounds, such
as vitamins, mineral, enzymes, amino acids and the like, Asian
nutrition is more interested in
the energetic qualities of particular foods. Though foods
can be used for medicinal purposes,
their actions are much slower & milder than those of TraditionalChinese
herbs. However, when used
correctly for prevention and treatment, foods can reduce the
use of other medicines
dramatically or not at all.
Oriental
Medicine offers another dimension to food
analysis. Thousands of years ago, master healers
in China perceived a way to
classify food and disease according to simple, easily observed patterns:
one eats cooling foods for overheated conditions or warming foods for
patients who are cold
in nature. Our modern diet has contributed to an explosion of
inflammatory or toxic diseases. Oriental
Medicine recognizes certain
foods have a detoxifying affect on the body. Certain patients
are very debilitated and require
generalized strengthening and nurturing of their systems.
Meridian
Harmonics provides individualized nutritional
counseling for patients, based on their unique
constitution and disease
patterns. In addition to Asian nutritional therapies, Meridian
Harmonics also provides Bio Energetic
Metabolic Stress Assessment to determine a patient's overall
wellness profile. Each
patient has a unique energetic profile. Some are excess in nature,
and others are deficient. Metabolic
Stress Assessment allows for precise determination of correct
therapies, whether they are based in
nutrition, herbs or homeopathic remedies.
Though
many patients strive to eat whole foods
according to Western nutritional content, they find
that they continue to suffer
from debilitating health. Meridian Harmonics offers complete
noninvasive sensitivity screening of
foods in order to identify foods contributing to their health
problems. This procedure can also be
used to verify the efficacy of medicines or remedies a patient
is currently consuming.
