Health and Healing Insights into Natural, Nutritional States of Balance and Harmony

In this remarkable book, Customized Healing, author Mark Mincolla, Ph.D., says, "Only by blending the best of Western mechanistic and chemical knowledge with the best of the ancient Eastern vitalistic approach can we become whole beings and claim our maximum healing potential." Trained in both classical Chinese medicine (CCM) and Western nutrition, Mincolla has been integrating these seemingly opposed methods to cure disease and promote health over the last thirty years. The author relies on his understanding of the interactions between the body, mind, and spirit to address the needs of those he treats. That's why the foods you eat, the supplements you take, the exercises you do, the aspirations you have, and how you act, think, and believe are all part of this integrated, holistic approach.

Enhancing the flow of life-force energy—chi as it's called in CCM—and avoiding any blockage of that chi are essential in Mincolla's practice. He views symptoms as messages about what the body/mind/spirit needs. Grief in your heart or arteries that are clogged, for example, can lead to blocked energy. To help him diagnose a person's bio-individuality, he uses CCM's five constitutional types based on the five energies—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—to discover the appropriate nutritional therapy, natural medicine (specific foods and vitamin, mineral, and herbal supplements), and mind-body medicine (such as yoga, meditation, and tai chi) needed to help a person achieve vibrant health.

Customized Healing includes a detailed questionnaire so readers can identify their primary type and recommends specific supplements and recipes to address their specific bio-individuality. And because Mincolla believes that Eastern medicine's most important contribution to Western thinking is its focus on prevention, he also offers basic dietary principles and the top twenty-five phytonutrients for boosting life-force energy and putting one on the path to lifelong maximum health.

SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND EXPANDED
“Provacative and exciting… [it] deserves a prominent place in the library of anyone serious about self health care." –Vitality magazine
Don't bother looking in the history books for what has killed the most Americans. Look instead at our dinner tables. We eat too much of the wrong foods and not enough of the right foods. Scientific research continually indicates nationwide vitamin and mineral deficiencies in our country, and we spend nearly three trillion dollars each year on disease care. Is it any surprise that doctors consistently place among the highest incomes? Andrew Saul has seen enough of this situation, and in Doctor Yourself, he gives you the power you need to change it. Citing abundant scientific evidence as well as case studies from his decades of practice, Dr. Saul explodes the myth that an army of medical specialists and pharmaceutical drugs is necessary to maintain health. The human body evolved to live well and fight off disease on a supply of only a couple of dozen essential nutrients. Unfortunately, modern diets provide catastrophically inadequate levels of those nutrients.
Using the guidelines set out in Doctor Yourself, you can not only prevent disease from getting a foothold in the first place, but also cure yourself of illnesses already in progress without resorting to drugs and surgery. One of the most popular guides to nutritional therapy ever published, Doctor Yourself is now updated and expanded with the latest research and additional topics, providing proven methods for combating an even wider variety of health conditions. Whether he is delivering commonsense tips on subjects such as weight loss and longevity or praising the healthy glow of a carotene tan, Dr. Saul takes the starch out of healthcare and makes taking charge of your family's health a fun and valuable experience.
