عاش الإنسان آلاف السنين وهو يأخذ أدويته من الطبيعة ويمزج بينها واستمر العلاج برفقة الجراحة إلى أن ظهر على الساحة الطبية ما يسمى الطب الحديث وكان الهدف منه سد النقص بالأدوية الكيميائية ولكنه ما لبث أن ألغى الطبيعة بمجملها! وهذا الكتاب العلمي دعوة للعودة للطبيعة. تُرجم الكتاب للعربية من قبل مكتبة جرير.
I take anything Weil says with a large pinch of salt (non iodized according to his advice) but I wished I trusted his advice more because the book is comprehensive. While repetitive it ties together a ton of the most relevant health focuses with clear logic and reasoning, with a special focus on preventative "treatment", or perhaps more accurately- lifestyle. My big takeaways are a breathing exercise he recommends as well as a general increase in focus of more breath. I have also started massaging my gums for gum health which is an area i've wanted to improve in.
I am considering cutting out iodized salt from my diet to improve my acne but i'm also considering just embracing it as a non threatening part of my skin's biome. I really enjoyed his suggestion for replacing your psychotherapist with a dog as a more effective and cheaper form of therapy. I also want to try fasting next time i'm sick as well as warm salt water gurgle in my nose for allergies.
