Q&A–: What is a good book for researching Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diet recommendations?
I’ve taken a few graduate classes and we’ve touched on the theories of hot foods, cold foods, etc, especially in relation to eating to assist in healing of illness. Such as eating hot-type foods when you have a cold-type illness.

I’d love to get more details beyond my notes, but I haven’t found a good resource. (Not to mention I’ve lost my professor’s email address!) I want to know more about the classification of foods. Even better, I’d love a reference which includes common imbalances and what to eat for them.

I’m not about to get into deep TCM herbal treatments, I’ve got too many western books on that subject and it is better left for those with full training. I’d just like to know when to drink some ginger tea or avoid spicy foods. Thanks in advance.

The following is the answer: (Hint: The correct answer provided by the users, does not guarantee the right.)

Paul Pitchford’s “HEALING WITH WHOLE FOODS”. Best book you will ever find on the subject. Excellent recipes as well! Thanks to this book I now understand the principals of Chinese medicine and why the system has been around for so long.

I was looking for this very same info a year ago and found it in the below book. It is written by an MD in Los Angeles who is in the alternative medicine field. It is a diet book, combining blood type, macrobiotics, and the Yin/Yang of foods. The chapter describing the chinese nature of foods, i.e. hot, cold, dry, damp is very informative and there is a section in the book that lists all foods and their degree of Yin or Yang. I use the food charts a lot to refer to to find the nature of foods. I didn’t buy the book for the diet itself but for this info.

You can only get the book from his office, as I did, or the publisher.

At Second Clinical Cannabis Therapeutics Conference in Portland, OR (2002), Dr. Ethan Russo recounts major studies on the use of marijuana by different populations. Beginning with the India Hemp Drugs Commission in 1893, Dr. Russo reports that every study came to basically the same conclusion – Society has no cause for concern regarding the effects of Cannabis use on health or crime, and in fact, it has many positives – like medicinal value, spiritual traditions and productivity. Other studies mentioned: * Panama Canal Zone Army Study (1930) * La Guardia Report ( 1943) * Shaffer Commission (1972), with data from Greece, Costa Rica, Jamaica and America. * NY Academy of Sciences (1976) * and other NIDA investigations. Dr. Russo cites a great reference book for further study: “Marijuana Myths; Marijuana Facts”, by Lynn Zimmer and Dr. John Morgan. Dr. Russo also debunks the myth that today’s marijuana is stronger than 1970′s marijuana. Conference hosted by Patients Out of Time. DVDs are available at: www.medicalcannabis.com This video is part of a report on a Chronic Cannabis Use Study that Dr. Russo conducted on patients supplied legal marijuana by the US government.Watch the entire presentation at video.google.com
