another "encylopedia" without a central philosophy February 14, 2010

This is yet another of those encyclopedia-type listings that leave you wondering what item to shortlist and where and how to actually start applying the information.
This book has the usual fatal flaw: it doesn't really seem to have an integrating philosophy or central principle by which I could work out where to start and how to take further steps. It is a sort of dictionary. It offers a list of over 100 "therapies" - mainly herbs, vitamins, minerals, fats, homeopathic remedies - and tells you what they can fix. At the end is a list of symptoms with a shortlist of possibly useful remedies. You might try any one of them, or combine several but it's basically guesswork. Not only that, but the ones I have tried that are covered here (a surprising number) have not helped me.
Too many books on nutrition and nutritional supplements are like this - homeopathy and herbs too. They lack any focus on causation, there is no consideration of a unifying thread or starting point which, when addressed, could clear a number of seemingly different symptoms. (Homeopathy claims to do this but why, for example, is ignatia overwhelmingly given for just one symptom - grief?)
Those who have studied Chinese Traditional Medicine (CTM) understand my point. CTM looks for, and addresses, a root cause for all the symptoms presented by a specific person. Too many health books, just like the conventional medical system, see patients as a collection of parts, or of diagnoses, each separate item to be fixed by a different specialist or herb or nutritional supplement (or combinations), for example.
I would like to see more health books "boiling down" to main, or "umbrella", causes and issues. The body is not a machine such as a car, in which replacing the battery (perhaps a kidney or a heart in a human) or adding engine oil (the equivalent say of putting a few selected adaptogens or vitamins into a body) will put it back on the road in good working order.
