Body Without Mystique – Paperback

An amazing book, written in a way that is understandable to all, encyclopedia of the human organs and energies. Hope to people that cannot understand their dis-ease in life without names. We know we do not feel well but all MRI or X-RAY are clear, where to turn whom to see? Doctor Helen Hu has her practice in San Diego and can help restore the body, she is kind, compassionate and with her book you can have a complete knowledge of what you are going though.

A return to nature, and the unity of humans and nature, is the core philosophy of this book on the use of diet therapy to restore the body’s energy and empower it for well-being and longevity. If we understand the law of nature, we can also understand the body without mystique. In the wisdom from a thousand years’ history of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Dr. Helen Hu explains how the body and healing closely connected to nature can answer questions that today’s high technology can not. How is it that a person can eat something years ago, but is sensitive and allergic to it today?; After joining a raw food society or practicing a vegetarian diet, why does a person not lose weight, but gain more?; Why is salad good, but not for everyone? The book addresses how the body gains weight, how it detoxifies itself and why hormone therapy is against the law of the nature. One of the most important things that one should know is your body constitution. Different body constitutions should chose different diets accordingly for well-being. Also, one should know that the diet has to be modified according to the person’s stage of life, the season of the year, and the person’s current medical condition. You can choose the appropriate foods that nourish your body and balance your emotions based on many important criteria: the color of the food, that taste of the food, the temperature of the food, the energy of the food, the direction of the food, which organ the specific food targets, and much more. Once you understand the basic nature of the body within the wisdom of Chinese Medicine, the body then makes a lot of sense and you will know how to heal and maintain your own well-being.

I think that once people start to read this book they will be astounded at the information that is available. We can all start to take the matter of ‘health care’ into our own hands. This book proves that. By identifying your personal ‘body constitution’ and eating the proper foods that nourish the important organs in our bodies we CAN prevent future illness and help us to stretch out our time here on earth.
