What I Didn’t Find: First of all I want to tell you that this is not some sort of a wonder drug that is going to cost you all of your savings. Nor is this a hyped up cure all juice that will make you healthy wealthy and wise, that kind of stuff really bothers me. It is not going to a hypnotist or anything silly like that. So what is it then?

It is affordable and if taken in the proper dosage and for the right amount of time it can help get rid of your asthma for good.

In 1971, a man by the name of James Reston was visiting China and became sick. He was taken to a hospital and diagnosed with appendicitis. Shortly after, Reston underwent surgery and his appendix was removed, setting off a chain of events that is responsible for the mushrooming interest and acceptance of acupuncture and Chinese medicine in the United States.
Certainly, Chinese medicine wasn’t new to the United States in 1971. With the influx of Chinese immigrants who helped build our railroads and worked in the gold fields, Chinese medicine followed. However, it was delegated to the back rooms of China towns in cities across the nation and thought of as something akin to voodoo—that is until James Reston’s appendix heated up.
James Reston was a reporter for the New York Times in 1971. He was in China in advance of Dr. Henry Kissinger’s famous trip, which would occur a few weeks later. When Reston got sick, he received typical Western-style care in the form of immediate surgery to remove his appendix. However, what happened after surgery are the events that sealed the fate of Chinese medicine in the West. During his recuperation, Reston experienced a great deal of post-operative pain. Rather than immediately giving him standard pain killers, the Chinese doctors performed acupuncture to relieve his pain. To Reston’s astonishment, the acupuncture worked!
Reston came home and wrote an article about his experience with acupuncture in the New York Times. Reston who was also an acquaintance of Dr. Kissinger, told Kissinger about his encounter with acupuncture, and Kissinger passed the story on to President Nixon. The President was so impressed with the story that he instituted a program in which traditional Chinese doctors came to the United States to share their medicine, and American doctors were sent to China for the same purpose. In the years following, Chinese medicine in the United States began to take off.
When people say that President Nixon is responsible for the acceptance of Chinese medicine in the United States, it’s true. However, the source of the story begins with an inflamed appendix.

We all like to eat good food, and we all understand that certain foods enhance our health. In Chinese medicine that concept is taken a step further, in that food is viewed as medicine you eat three times a day. In fact, there is a saying that you should first treat an illness with the proper foods, and if that doesn’t work only then turn to acupuncture and herbs.
Food therapy is an important and effective part of Chinese medicine, and for good reason—it’s inexpensive and can be practiced at home. Healing with food is based on a number of principles, including choosing foods that are easily digested and appropriate to your particular health issues. In addition, foods are chosen for their specific actions (purging, drying, nourishing, etc.) and their temperature. During certain times of the year, the temperature of foods can make a difference in how you feel and your overall health. This is especially true during the hottest weather of the summer.
When you think of the temperature of foods, you might think of how it feels in your mouth (does it burn your tongue or give you a Mr. Mistee headache?). However, in Chinese medicine foods also have an inherent temperature that when eaten can either warm or cool your body. Foods can be hot, warm, neutral, cool, or cold. Some obviously hot foods are ginger or chilies, which make you feel hot and sometimes even sweat. In general, though, the temperature of a food and its effect is subtle—but very real.
Most of the foods that are harvested in the summer are cool in nature. By eating these summer foods, you are cooling your body and avoiding something called Summerheat. Summerheat is a pathogen that occurs only in the hot and humid weather and is responsible for that “blah”, queasy, tired feeling you get during the hottest, most humid days of summer.
So what should you eat this summer? Go for some cold foods like cucumbers, tomatoes, melons, rhubarb, mung beans and sprouts, citrus fruits, bananas, and dandelion leaves. Cool foods (not quite as cold) include most fruits, spinach, summer squash, lettuce and most greens, cabbage, bok choy, celery, and mint (make some mint ice tea).
If you start to feel yucky on the hottest days of the year, eat watermelon—it’s cold in nature, packed with water, and perfect for Summerheat. Yum!
