Title: Really NOT the Chinese Way
Product review: The title of this book is highly misleading. The author displays a deep misunderstanding of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) philosophy by combining it with Western medicine and other alternative therapies. For instance, vaccinations and synthetic supplaments are completely at odds with TCM principles, and no true TCM practitioner will ever recommend them. The nutritional advice of diet consisting of more than 70% carbohydrate not only does not reflect the Chinese diet, but will certainly lead to obesity, diabetes and related illnesses. The Chinese prize pork and other animal fats, yet the author seems to pander to the fat-phobic public and advocates low fat in most of the dietary advice. Although there are good explanations of TCM principles at the start of the book, the author is yet another in the string of Western doctors showing lack of faith/knowledge in TCM by combining it with contradictory Western therapies. I do not recommend it.
