What is Diet Therapy?
"Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.”
-Hippocrates, 400 BC
The top ten causes of death, excluding accidents and suicides, can be attributed
solely to eating habits. These fatal conditions can all be prevented or treated
exclusively with Diet Therapy, which uses food and structured diet to treat
disease and improve or maintain health. No other therapy can make this
claim.
Diet Therapy is the oldest known form of medicine. Ancient cultures around
the world, from the Indians to the Chinese, believed in the healing
power of food. These cultures provided the foundation of Western medicine; but
unfortunately, this medicinal knowledge has been lost. Today, we no longer take
advantage of food to achieve healing and wellness.
The Problem
To be effective, and to truly have clinical value, a therapeutic diet should
consider a multitude of factors, such as:
- diagnosed conditions
- sub-clinical symptomatology
- blood type
- body type
- autonomic type (neuro-endocrine)
- oxidation rate (glycolysis, beta oxidation, Krebs)
|
- allergies
- intolerances
- micro-nutrient imbalances
- macro-nutrient ratios
- ideal weight
- lifestyle factors
|
While food is the foundation of health and healing, most physicians no longer
have the time, expertise, or resources to design simple therapeutic diets, much
less consider these many variables.
The Solution
With the many interrelating and varying parameters that define each patient’s
biochemical individuality, only a computer can process such extensive information
and create the correct diet for a particular individual.
