Antiinflammatory nutrition
(As a sequel to yesterday's post on Road Rage and Nutrition, here's some insight into the concept of antiinflammatory nutrition)
There isn't a clinic day that goes by that I don't talk to some patients about the inflammatory symptoms they have in the urinary tract that cause them to visit me. Barring any significant matter field issue such as cancer, stones or serious infection the most common issue that remains is inflammatory change from nutrition.
Often there is associated inflammation in the GI tract such as acid indigestion. So energetically there is burning in the stomach and burning in the bladder and prostate as well.
And when patients go on an antiinflammatory nutrition their symptoms gradually get better with reduction in symptoms by half in approximately six weeks.
There is no concept as foods being inflammatory in the current matter science nutrition. This is because the matter science approach to nutrition is quantitative, that is to say, measurement driven. A piece of broccoli has so many carbohydrates, fats and protein; vitamins and minerals are measured and then we proclaim, "I know everything there is to know about broccoli!".
The problem with this approach is that this quantitative assessment can't tell me how broccoli interacts with MY physiology. All I know is that I know about the molecular constituents of broccoli.
The energy approach tells me that if I am Pitta Vata that tomatoes and corn cause inflammatory change. If I'm PItta Kapha the sour and salty tastes will highly inflammatory. So this is the power of the energy approach and it will supplant what we currently do as nutrition in the years to come.
