Where to start...

[Harun]

Greetings from Turkey,

I have been reading about Chinese Medicine for a while now and my first exposure to it started with Daniel Reids book Tao of Health Sex and Longevity... There he advocated colon cleansing as a great way to get rid of toxins , but upon careful research I havent seen much said in Chinese Medicine about colon cleainsing. Moreso Ive heard that this is nothing snake oil. Right now I think this guy Daniel Reid might be a scammer. What do you guys think? And having said that, what good balanced books can I read about Chinese Medicine that can introduce me to Chinese mindset of Health, Diet , Sex and a Long life?

Thanks in advance and Be Well,
Harun

Hi,

It is true that colon cleansing using colonic irrigation is not a part of Chinese medicine, however Daniel Reid's books are quite good. If you want something more Chinese medicine, then have a look at Bob Flaws book The Tao of Healthy Eating: http://www.chinesemedicinetimes.com/product/258/179/the_tao_of_healthy_eating
