We have a whole world-class system of medicine that we all use. In fact, it is prettygood. But what if you could examine another world-class system? Now, I don't mean herbology or whatever. I mean a whole world-class system of healing thatincludes meditation, nutrition, astrology, medicines, surgery; the whole bit. Likeexamining another world! Well, Tibet was isolated from us all and had to createtheir own medical system. And I think that you should know it. Now I don't have cancer or AIDS like you may have. But I have had liver pains for 25 years. I wentto an internist and he could find nothing wrong. For my body-type (fire), stresscan cause liver pains in Tibetan Medicine. This relieved me so much. Because itwas true. I just had not realized it before. My liver pains happen when I'm stressed!So I don't worry about it anymore. This book is not a replacement for conventionalmedicine. And it may not help you at all. But it will give you a wider perspective of your body. In Tibetan Medicine, the very best thing that you can do for your healthis to avoid the ten negative actions (Please buy and read Yeshe Dhondon's "HealingFrom the Source.") Then you need to find out your constitutional body-type. Thereare seven body types. Basically, a mesomorph is a fire type. And the best diet isvegetarian. I have a little ectomorph (actually, a lot) mixed in with the mesomorph,so I am lucky enough to be able to eat eggs, fish, and poultry. It's all a question of balance. From there we go into all sorts of things; enemas, herbs, meditation, astrology. But we start with behavior and nutrition. Oddly enough, the Tibetansdid not put a great stress on exercise. Perhaps they walked a lot. Your guess isas good as mine. Please buy this book. Just look into another world. I do think thatit will help you no matter what. And I hope that you are blessed with happiness.
