My Doctor Says I'm Fine... So Why Do I Feel So Bad?

Written by Margaret Smith Peet, ND & Shoshana Zimmerman, ND, My Doctor Says I'm Fine... So Why Do I Feel So Bad? A Self-Help Guide to Restoring Health is a guide for novices to understanding the basic tenets of Eastern medicine, self-observation, and expressions of life-force that are symptomatic of unhealthy diseases and conditions. A handful of black-and-white diagrams illustrate this methodical listing of both physical and spiritual warning signs to look for. From examining one's tongue for signs of vitamin deficiency or disease, to yoga poses designed to counter life-force imbalances, to recommended food plans for promoting dietary health and life-force balance, My Doctor Says I'm Fine... is not a substitute for a physician's examination but rather an excellent prevention and self-help treatment regimen for learning to live well when simply taking a prescribed pill is insufficient.

Finally a self-help guide I can easily understand and use. A well-written book I refer to often. Thanks Dr. Margaret Peet and Dr. Zimmerman!

I am impressed! The book is a solid work of meticulously organized information, bringing to our modern day medical scene a breath of fresh air. The book states ancient Eastern concepts without the "mystique" which so often conceals. It offers tools that the reader can easily use to understand and improve health. I am reading and re-reading, and am grateful that "irritations" need not be endured. They can be addressed. I know My Doctor Says I'm Fine will be widely accepted and wildly acclaimed.

Finally a practical, applicable book about Ayurveda/Chinese medicine that I can actually use! The first half explains and diagrams (with wonderful, clear drawings and examples of actual people) the amazing diagnostic tools that these systems offer so you can catch your body going out of balance before it degenerates into a serious illness. My son and I spent 2 hours examining our tongues, ears, eyes, faces, and hands, and were able to SEE the indicators for heart disease and diabetes that comes down through my family - and to see what comes through his father's. Then we did life-enhancing foot massages - teenagers will benefit enormously from this information!The rest of the book is stuffed with info delivered in the most accessible manner. It clarifies the process of re-orienting yourself according to YOUR body-type to live optimally, with lists of food, herbs, yoga postures and more to help every area of life. There's also a great chapter on how to protect yourself while traveling. I've read many books on this subject, including Deepak Chopra's and David Frawley's but have found nothing that helped me to see MY OWN imbalances by checking my own body so clearly and easily. This will be the book that I recommend to all my clients and use as my baseline.
