Pregnancy, Fertility, Miscarriage, Diet, Dr. Oz and Richard Heft

The following is an excerpt from Hot and Cold Health based on Western, Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines and the questioning and counseling  of thousands.  For more information buy, read the whole book (available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Hot-Cold-Health-Richard-Heft/dp/0974791709

The body, blood, bones, sex organs, hormones, etc. build up and break down (cleanses) largely according to food, nutrients, to which there are only two: building and cleansing. Building nutrients, foods, protein, fat, meat, chicken, turkey. eggs, cheese, etc. build, fuel, hold, warm, etc. Cleansing foods, nutrients, water, minerals, fruit, vegetables, grains, etc. reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.

Protein and fat build and fuel the ovaries, uterus, hormones, ovum, sperm, fetus, etc. Too little, in the extreme, tends to thin the blood, reduce circulation causing fatigue, pallor, coldness, thin skin, hair, nails and bones, anemia, etc. in addition to amenorrhea (little or no period), infertility, miscarriage, and or short-term pregnancy. It takes a certain amount of blood, protein and fat, to build and hold a baby. Anything less creates deficiency, lack of holding.

Many women tend to eat low protein, low fat (milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, nuts, etc.) and high carbohydrate (pasta, bread, salads, fruits, juices, shakes, smoothies, etc.) diets. Low protein and low fat diets build less blood, structure, function. Too many carbohydrates (vegetables, salads, fruits, juices, etc.) tend to dilute and weaken digestion, acid and enzymes, reducing nutrient absorption, blood, structure and function.

Low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diets generally benefit those suffering from excess protein and fat (high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, gout, dysmenorrhea, warts, tumors, cancer, etc.) not those who are trying to get and stay pregnant, although too much protein and fat can form tumors and or excessive tissue that interferes with conception, pregnancy.

Blood, protein and fat build and fuel sperm, testosterone, erections, etc. Too little protein and fat, in the extreme, weakens, decreases fertility, sperm count, erections (premature ejaculation, impotence), etc. Red meat, eggs, chicken, etc. build better erections, increase fertility and sexual energy better than beans, nuts and seeds. Too much protein and fat, in the extreme, tends to decrease blood flow to the prostate, testes, etc. also impotence, premature ejaculations, etc. It also tends to form tumors and or cancer, which can attack the prostate, testes, liver, etc. Low protein and low fat diets cool diminish sexual energy but also cleanse excessive, overbuilt energy, structure.

Blood, protein and fat deficiency is curable via an increase in building foods, especially animal: red meat, chicken, turkey, eggs, hard cheese, etc. The choice of protein and fat depends on the deficiency, as severe deficiencies require severe measures, foods, animal protein and fat. The hotter middle diet, meal plan (for deficiency) is recommended, in addition to the following supplements. Siberian ginseng stimulates, nourishes the spleen, digestion, blood. Evening primrose oil and black currant oil nourish, strengthen the reproductive organs. Eating seeds: sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, etc. helps build seeds. Check with your doctor before making any dietary, herbal changes.

Laxative and bitter herbs (golden seal, gentian, etc.) including coffee, caffeine should be avoided, as they are cleansing, downward moving in nature, which is contrary to pregnancy. Pregnant women want to build fuel and hold, not cool and cleanse. Coffee, caffeine also irritates the breasts.

Case history: A long-term customer of mine had suffered several miscarriages. She was eating a macrobiotic diet (low protein. low fat and high carbohydrate). I diagnosed her condition as blood deficiency. Her diet was anemic, too little building. She did not have enough blood, protein and fat in the womb to hold her baby. I recommended red meat (best blood builder) and chicken three to four times a week or more in addition to cooked vegetables, grains, Evening Primrose Oil (sexual organs) and Siberian ginseng (strengthens digestion). I also told her to wait four months (time it takes to rebuild blood) before trying to get pregnant. She now has two healthy boys.

 

Dr. Oz, Oprah and Ignorance

The goal of every physician is education not curing, as an ignorant patient always requires curing and is never cured, but always charged  and hurt. If you are being paid to heal someone, but the best you can do is temporarily halt the disease, then that is fine as long as you explain to the patient that you have no idea how to cure the disease (for whatever excuse) but are more than willing to treat and charge. If your patient accepts that information, then fine, as many will do, but many will not until you figure out not only what causes disease but what also cures. If you cannot cure disease you have no business being a physician, licensed or unlicensed. It takes an education not a clever remedy to cure disease.

The following are three examples of less than stellar advice given by Dr Oz. The first two are dietary as Dr. Oz, on his television show advised that it was all right to drink three to four cups of coffee per day, as  and as engage in sex, masturbation if you’re an uptight middle age man (it will help relax you). The third is body odor, on a past Oprah show, Dr. Oz stated that body, more or less,  was caused by unknown factors (some people just naturally stink, attract bad, stinky bacteria), race and gender, not diet (minor factor).

My background is traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines, which are both 5,000+ years old. Regarding sex and caffeine, their advice is the EXACT OPPOSITE.

They advise both sexes to avoid coffee, caffeine as it drains jing, sexual essence, fountain of youth causing one to prematurely age, dry, thin and wither.  Both medicines would barely allow three or four cups a month

They advise men to restrain, forgo the ejaculation and or practice celibacy, as the release of sexual essence (sperm, etc.) is extremely weakening and in excess, drying, thinning, etc.  Excessive sex tends to accelerate the aging, drying, thinning and weakening  in both sexes. It is the forbidden fruit, located in the center of the garden. 

Both medicines (5,000+ years old) advise the exact opposite of Dr. Oz.

Both medicines would also look down on his opinions regarding body odor, which he said has more to do with race, gender and unknown factors than it does diet.

Traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines both state the opposite that body odor is a function of diet, not the aforementioned.

On a past Oprah show, Dr. Oz was the guest expert and body odor the topic. On the show, was a young couple, an overweight, obese man and his wife. The man had terrible body odor. The show started and Oprah asked (rightly, intuitively) if diet had anything to do with body odor. Dr. Oz dismissed her, argument by saying that if you eat onions and garlic you smell like onions and garlic but the real causes of body odor were unknown factors, race and gender.

Some people for some unknown reason attracted bad bacteria that caused bad body odor. He also went on to say that some races, like black people had larger pores and therefore stunk, and some gender (I am assuming women) naturally stink because of hormones. Hormones are generally an issue associated with women, and have no smell to the best of my knowledge.

 Most body odor is caused by poor diet and stagnation of energy, blood, fluids, stools, etc. (see article at end)  and not race, gender. Black people do not have bigger pores and are no different (same biology, creator) from white people, with the exception of diet. There are stinky black people and stinky white people. There is no such thing as black of white stink, but there is sour stink, sweet,  damp stink, musty stink and foul, putrid stink, all according to the type and quantity of food you eat in relation to body weight, size. Pretty simple stuff anyone can understand. See the following excerpt on body odor.

I am sure Dr. Oz has a kind heart, but his statements, in my opinion  are racist and gender biased. The worst part of this story is Oprah and her audience who just nodded in agreement. Intuition is one thing. Following it up is another.  Good health always helps, which is why I wrote my book, Hot and Cold Health.  You need an education, not a tv show or office visit.

The intuition of health is knowledge. The standard-bearer of disease is ignorance.  If you are tired of this merry-go-round of doctors, insurance, drugs, surgery, supplements, etc.  buy, read my book. It is the only way I can help you.

BODY ODOR The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood into structure into function, into health or disease. The body is sweet and sour by nature. The sweet smell comes from blood, food, nutrients, protein, water and sugar, which are sweet tasting. The sour smell comes from the stomach (digestion, fermentation) and or an excess of sour foods. The sweet and sour smells, and or cold, damp tissue tends to produce a musty odor. Protein and fat, especially animal and poor food combining tend to produce pervasive, offensive odors.

The stomach is the first digestive organ to receive and process food, nutrients. It mixes food and fluids with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and other enzymes, designed specifically to digest animal protein and fat. This mixture sits, ferments, breaks down before moving down to the small intestine, for further digestion, eventual nutrient absorption. Digestion, fermentation is a souring process, which is why everyone tends to have a slightly sour smell.

Food that spends too long of a time in the stomach tends over ferment, spoil, creating excessive sour smell that can accumulate, overflow and rise up through the throat, breath, skin, armpits, etc. Overeating, tight clothing, eating while standing up, late meals and obesity tends to weaken and slow the movement of food, creating abdominal bloating, gas, burping and sour breath. Too many sour foods (milk, yogurt, ice cream and cheese, dairy and non-dairy tend also tend to cause sour body odor.

Eating salads, fruits or and or drinking cold drinks at the beginning of the meal tends to dilute and weaken digestion, acid and enzymes, slowing the movement of food. Too many vegetables (especially raw, salads), tropical fruits, juices, sugary foods, cold drinks, etc. especially in combination with dairy products (milk, yogurt and soft cheese) also tends to weaken digestion, nutrient absorption, blood, while increasing waste (solid and liquid) as whatever food, nutrients not digested becomes waste. This type of waste, dampness, in the extreme (loose stools, diarrhea and constipation), tends to produce sweet, sour and or musty body odors. Low protein and low-fat diets, in the extreme, also tend to weaken, slow all function, including digestion, movement of food.

Too many grains (pasta, bread, pastry, etc.), especially in combination with oil, fat and sugar, tend to collect and clog the small and large intestines, just like excess cholesterol collects and clogs the arteries. The clog, accumulated matter (bread, pizza dough, cookies, chips, etc.) tends to be moist, damp and sweet. In the extreme, it tends to produce sweet, damp and musty body odor. It can also heat up and produce hot, damp and smelly rashes in the armpits and or groin. Avoid alcohol (beer, wine, etc.) and ice cream as both worsen dampness, body odor, rashes, etc. Animal foods, oil, etc. in excess, tend to produce damp heat.

The musty, sweet smell is a stale, moldy smell, usually associated with dampness. Damp diets (low protein, low-fat and high carbohydrate), obesity, edema, cellulite, inactivity and or bulimia increase stagnant pools of dampness and or deteriorated tissues throughout the body creating a sweet, musty body odor.

The middle diet, meal plan adjusted accordingly is recommended. Cooked foods and spices (cardamom, cumin, coriander, fennel, cayenne, turmeric, etc.) increase digestion, metabolism, burning, drying of excess fluids, damp, sugar, sour smell. Spices burn, dry dampness, Bitter herbs also drain dampness, but are very cooling (contraindicated for weak, cold digestion). Cold, weak digestion tends to cause dampness. Reduce all damp foods: dairy: milk, yogurt, cheese, pizza, salads, cold drinks, alcohol, etc. Do not overeat. Take a walk after you eat. Be patient, as it will take months and or years of good eating to eliminate old, diseased tissues and rebuild, replace with new healthy smelling tissues.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stop, Don’t buy or read another nutritional book before reading this BOOK, July 11, 2009 By  D.L. (Texas) – See all my reviews This is a great book. Especially if you are female, and struggle with symptoms of cellulite, being over weight, sinusitis, and chronic fatigue. Most female diets consist of diet cokes, energy bars, smoothies, and salads, not to mention ice cream, and other feel good foods.(at least mine did) Sooner or later,health problems with appear, and by switching to a hotter diet, one will begin to see the effects immediately. All of those symptoms were like connecting the dots, and I am now soooooooo relieved to have finally gotten a handle on what I should be eating, and getting rid of my chronic problems. This is a must read for anyone who wants to take responsibility for their own health!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D.L.

 

Ask Richard

There is no diet, herb, condition, symptom, disease, etc. that I do not know. or cannot figure out.  I have questioned and counseled thousands (see resume and case histories below) and the body, structure and function is limited in number and variations as there are only two extremes.

Knowledge, simple diet and common herbs can prevent and or cure most disease.

I will tell you why you are sick (according to traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines) and how to cure provided you supply me with certain information: age, symptoms, daily diet,  climate, etc.  I may ask further questions, as  I generally require a lot of information.  

Resume (followed by Case Histories)

1984-           What do you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner?”

For ten years +, questioned and counseled his customers (300+ per week), always asking the same question, in relation to their symptoms.  Most people were eating poorly, too building or too cleansing, thereby developing symptoms, diseases that were too building (overbuilt) or too cleansing (under built, cold, damp, weak). They were also taking supplements, herbs, etc. that were too building or too cleansing, relative to their conditions.  WHEN I COUNSEL, I GIVE EACH PATIENT  30- 60 MINUTES  UNTIL HE, SHE GETS IT. 

 

Developed one diet (central theme plus two variations) that could prevent and or cure most disease. Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Attention Deficit Disorder, miscarriage, GIRD, eczema, anemia, sinusitis, tooth (gum and root infection), impotence, Plantar Fasciitis, neuralgia, post nasal drip, common cold, anxiety, psoriasis (current patient),  and more were all cured by this simple diet (middle diet);

 

2003- wrote and published Hot and Cold Health © Jan. 2003, revised 2009. 130+ symptoms, diseases are covered and treated with one plan not 130+ different plans.

Resume #2 Case Histories (the tree shall be known by its fruit)

The following case histories were treated with the middle diet, meal plan (Chapter 2) adjusted accordingly. One “disease” can have two different, opposite causes, cures.

Middle diet meal plan

+/- 1/3 Protein and fat+/- 1/3 Grains: whole, cracked, bread, noodles  +/- 1/3 Vegetables, cooked (3-5) and fruit (1) +/- Spices (use several) +/- Soup (in the beginning) and or tea (at the end)

1. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) One of my customers (health food store) was suffering from IBS. Her daily, weekly symptoms were abdominal bloating, gas, pain, headaches, loose stools, constipation, colitis (inflammation) and swelling in her arms and legs (swollen twice their size). I diagnosed her condition as a cold, damp spleen (controls digestion). Her long-term diet was cold, damp, low protein, low-fat and high carbohydrate (salads, tropical fruits, juices). The coldness of her diet had weakened, dampened her digestion, elimination, etc. producing the aforementioned symptoms. I recommended the hotter middle diet, meal plan, including spices as well as reduction in cold foods and drinks. Week by week her condition got better, hotter, stronger. Nine months later, most of her symptoms had disappeared, including the swelling in her arms and legs. She was very happy. A year later, her symptoms started to reappear. She was worried about her health and had gone to see a nutritionist who had recommended golden seal (nine capsules a day) which is a bitter herb. All bitter herbs are energetically cold. I had originally diagnosed coldness as the cause of her condition, which she re-aggravated once she started taking golden seal. I refused to sell her any golden seal.

2.  Miscarriage A long-term customer of mine had suffered several miscarriages. She was eating a macrobiotic diet (low protein, low-fat and high carbohydrate). I diagnosed her condition as blood, protein and fat deficiency. Her diet was anemic, too little building. She did not have enough blood in her womb to hold her baby. I recommended red meat (best blood builder) and chicken three to four times a week or more in addition to cooked vegetables, grains, Evening Primrose Oil (sexual organs) and Siberian ginseng (strengthens digestion). I also told her to wait four months before trying to conceive, in order to rebuild her blood. She now has two healthy boys.

3. Indigestion, Gird (gastrointestinal reflux disorder) A female customer of mine was having digestive problems. Every time she ate, she would experience abdominal bloating, gas, burping, pain and heartburn. Her diet was anemic, low protein, low-fat and high carbohydrate (salad, fruit and grains). I suggested the hotter middle diet (more protein, fat, cooked foods) in addition to fennel seeds (one-quarter teaspoon after each meal). Three weeks later, she came back and hugged me. Her digestive problems and hot flashes had disappeared. I told her (43 years old) that her hot flashes were caused not by menopause but instead by indigestion and stagnation of energy, food in the intestines. Her doctor had diagnosed her as menopausal; which I thought was a little premature

4. Eczema In 1989, I developed a bad, hideous case of eczema. It first started as a pimple, blister on my left hand, index finger. Over the course of two months it spread so that my entire left hand (back and fingers) and lower part of the arm were completely infected (cracked skin, bleeding, pus, etc.). My other hand (couple of fingers) was also affected although not quite as bad. This happened while I was going to acupuncture school. It was gross. I tried every Chinese herbal remedy. Nothing worked. My skin kept getting worse and worse. Eventually, I turned to Ayurvedic Medicine (Ayurvedic Healing, and Yoga of Herbs by Dr. David Frawley, O.M.D.), which recommended the use of spices. My diet at the time was bland, sweet and cold, cleansing. I increased protein, fat, cooked foods and spices (fennel, cumin, coriander, turmeric, ginger, etc.) while reducing juices, fruits, etc. I used a lot spice (five to seven at a time, per meal). Within three weeks, my eczema, in addition to abdominal bloating and gas cleared up. I did have eczema as a teenager, although not as serious.

5. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). One of my customers came to see me about her eleven-year-old daughter (very thin) who had been diagnosed with ADD. Her school wanted to put her daughter on Ritalin in addition to the drugs that she was already taking: four months of Adderall and Dexedrine. She did not know what to do. I told her to bring her daughter in and let me question her. I had never counseled a child before but I did not think it would be any different from an adult. She brought her daughter in. I sat and questioned her for an hour. There was nothing wrong with her except for poor diet and lack of attention, at home and in the school, overcrowded classrooms. I told her mother to start feeding her more protein, building foods (red meat, eggs, chicken, etc.) especially for breakfast. She was already eating grains and vegetables. I also advised fish liver oil in addition to greater personal attention. Six months later, her mother wrote me to thank me telling me how well her daughter was doing. On her recent report card, she had gotten all A’s and one B (math) without the use of Ritalin or any other drug.

6. Anal Fissure A friend had developed an anal fissure (tear in the intestines). He went to his doctor who told him that there was no cure. The best that he could do was operate, sew it back together; however the operation, procedure might make him temporarily incontinent (urine and bowels) and or impotent. I told him to skip the operation and just change, soften his diet (cooked vegetables, watery grains, etc.) which he did. His fissure eventually healed. His original diet was high protein, fat, starch and low vegetables.

7. Post Nasal Drip: One of my customers had postnasal drip. I told her that her diet was too cold (salads, fruits, cold drinks, etc.) causing excess condensation, water to occur, accumulate and leak out her nose. I advised her to increase cooked foods, spices, etc. while reducing cold, damp foods. Her postnasal drip disappeared within days.

8. Anemia, Blood Deficiency: Several of my female customers, employees were suffering from blood deficiency, anemia (pale skin, diminished periods, weak hair and nails, forgetfulness, etc.). All were vegetarians (low protein, low fat (soft dairy, beans, nuts, etc.) and high carbohydrate (salads, fruits). It took me more than a year to convince them that their diets were anemic that they desperately needed to eat red meat, chicken, eggs, etc. on a regular basis. Once they started eating meat, they immediately felt better

9. Sinusitis: One of my employees was suffering from sinusitis (inflammation of the sinuses). She was vegetarian. Her diet was cold and damp which in turn weakened her spleen producing dampness, excess condensation (mucous, phlegm) in her lungs, throat, sinuses, etc. Excess fluids, mucous tend to obstruct the flow of air and fluids within the lungs, nose, sinuses, causing dryness and inflammation. I recommended the hot middle diet, including spices. Spices are hot and drying. They dry dampness, mucous, phlegm, while also stimulating, increasing blood flow.  Blood is moistening. Inflammation is caused by dryness. Fire (inflammation) burns dry wood not wet wood.

10. Impotence Over the years, many men have come to see me about their sexual difficulties (inability to achieve or maintain an erection). Almost every one of them was a long-term (20- 30 years) coffee drinker (2-3 cups per day). I advised them to give up coffee, as caffeine tends to drain the kidneys, jing. The few that gave up coffee saw their erections return. I also suffered from impotence. My condition however was caused by anemic diet, as I was a long-term vegetarian (fifteen years), who did not drink coffee. My erections came back once I started eating more protein and fat (red meat, eggs, chicken, turkey, etc.), cooked vegetables and less raw, sweet, sugary foods.

11. Cold I was visiting a good friend and his wife in Fort Meyers, Fl. where his parents (great people) lived. They had flown in from Seattle where they live. When I got there, he was coughing up a storm, non-stop. He said it was his allergies. I told him it was a cold (he also had a runny nose, stiff shoulders, etc.), and that he needed to eat more hot foods at which time he held up his beer. Alcohol is hot and dry, which made his cough, drier, worse. I went into his mother’s kitchen and made him a spicy hot vegetable soup. I threw in every hot spice that I could find. I made his soup dragon hot. He gobbled the soup down (two bowls) and within twenty minutes, his cough and runny nose had stopped. Before the soup, he had been coughing every ten minutes. Colds in general are very easy to cure if you can treat, heat them in the beginning, onset days one and two.

12. Anxiety One of my customers (60 years old, vegetarian) was having frequent anxiety attacks. When I counseled her, she was screaming and yelling from one anxiety attack to another. I had to teach her how to deep breathe in order to control her outbursts. I initially thought her condition was caused by excess heat. She had a plethora of heat symptoms and did not seem deficient in any way until I discovered she also had uncontrollable urination, which is a kidney yang, deficiency symptom. Kidney symptoms (Chapter 13) outweigh all other symptoms. Her condition was one of deficiency. Her long-term diet was vegetarian, anemic. She was not building, producing enough blood; therefore she became weak, dry and hot (blood, nutrients build, moisten, cool, etc.). I recommended the hot middle diet (red meat, eggs, cooked vegetables, spices, etc.) which was problem because she was a vegetarian. She would not eat red meat. I finally convinced her by asking her what she would do if it were a matter of life and death. She would not eat red meat but she would eat veal and eggs. Three days later, she called me back. I was a little nervous. I thought I might have given her the wrong diet, too hot as she was sixty years old and living in a very hot climate (FL).I picked up the phone, she asked if this was the genius. All her anxiety attacks had disappeared. She also slept better and had great bowel movements.

13. Sore lower back I occasionally develop lower back and or upper back pain whenever I eat or drink too many cold foods, drinks: ice cream, tropical fruits, juices, beer, etc. Every time I reduce or eliminate the source of coldness, in addition to increasing spicy foods, the pain goes away.

14. Neuralgia and other diseases of the foot I met this young woman (professional ice skater); age 26 who came to my store. She could not stay; stand for too long because her feet would hurt.  She had trouble walking and had to use a wheelchair to go through airports. Her condition had started several years prior. She had seen many doctors, orthopedic surgeons, chiropractor, acupuncturists, had blood work, x-rays, MRI, etc. No one was able to diagnose or help. She was blood deficient (long-term low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate diet). I recommended the hotter middle diet, red meat everyday, etc. A year or so later she was able to walk, stand and skate without pain or fear.
