Contraindications Of Dietetic Therapy
Incompatibility of Drugs in Prescription
Chinese Traditional herbs are the main ingredients in the dietetic therapy. Of all the 5000 Chinese traditional herbs in the clinical use, more than 500 can be applied in the dietetic therapy. For example, dong chong xia cao, ren shen, dang gui, tian ma, du zhong, go qi zi, etc. The prescription follows the principle of TCM theory. In dieteic therapy, the application of drugs observes the rules of "eighteen clashes" and "inneteen incompatibilities". "Eighteen clashes" are: gan cao clashes gan sui, da ji, hai zao and yuan hua; wu tou clashes bei mu, xi xin and shao yao. "Nineteen incompatibilities" are: liu huang incompatible with pu xiao; shu yin incompatible with pi shuang; lang du incompatible with mi tuo seng; ba dou incompatible with qian niu; ding xiang incompatible with yu lin; chuan wu and cao wu incompatible with xi jiao; ya xiao incompatible with with san ling; guan gui incompatible with ci shi zhi; renshen incompatible with wu ling zhi. We can refer to these incompatibilities of drugs in prescription; but there are some exceptions. However, this kind of prescription needs to be caried out under the guidance of professionals.contraindications of dietetic therapy Contraindications of Dietetic Therapy
Incompatibility of Drugs and Food in Prescription
It is the accumulated experience of ancient people that we usually follow. Though some of the incompatibilities need to be testified, we should follow the traditional sayings and take the therapies with care. Generally speaking, sweat-inducing formula is incompatible with cold food; speen-stomach regulation formula is incompatible with fatty food; detumescence and qi-regulating formula is incompatible with beans; cough-checking and dyspnea-soothing formula is incompatible with fish; diarrhea formula is incompatible with fruits. The contraindications are: pork clashes wu mei; jie geng huang lian, hu qianhuang, bai he, cang su; mutton clashes ban xia, cang pu, cmdisin compatible with copper dan sha; dog meat clashes zhu shang lu, cmd is incompatible with xin ren; fish clashes hou pu, it incompatible mai dong; aparrow meat incompatible with bai zhu, plum; onion incompatible with chang shan, di huang, he shou wu and honey; radish incompatible with di huang, he shou wu, cinegar incompatible with fu ling; tu fu ling, wei ling xian incompatible with tea, etc.
Incompatibilith of food in prescription
Ancient people believe that some food connot be cooked with one anouther. It is a good reference in the dieteic therapy. The incompatibilities are: pork incompatible with barley, pigeon, fish and soybean. mutton incompatible with vinegar; Dog’s meat incompatible with garlic; crucian carp incompatible with leaf mustard and pig’s livev; pig’s blood incompatible with soybean; pig’s liver incompatible with buckwheat, soybean sauce, carp, fish; carp incompatible with dog, turtle incompatible with amaranth, wine, fruit; eel incompatible with dog; sparrow incompatible with pig’s liver; duck’s egg incompatible with mulberry, plum; chicken incompatible with mustard, sticky rice, plum; crabmeat incompatible with pork, rabbit’s meat, duck, amaranth, egg, etc.
Food taboos in Drug application
Food taboos belong to TCM theory and practice. Food taboos fall into two categories: first, food taboos for a certain disease. For example, liver disease should avoid hot and pungent food; heart disease should avoid salty food; edema should avoid the use of salt; bone diseases avoid sour and sweet food; illness of the gall bladder should avoid greasy food; cold syndrome should avoid fruit; people with sore and ulcer should avoid fish and shrimp; people with vertigo and insomnia should not take pepper, chilli, tea, etc. Second, food taboos for a certain syndrome. For example, patient with yin deficiency, hyperactivity of fire and affliction of bodu fluid should not take ginger, pepper and mutton that are mild and dry in nature; people should not take garlic, crab, egg after cold, ulcer, throat abscess, etc; the syndrome of dampness-heat should not take pork, sugar, ice wine, etc; people after disease and delivery should not take watermelon, plum, clam, crab, etc; for the syndrome of bleeding, hemorrhoid, ci gu and pepper should be avoid. During pregnancy, food that is poisonous, hot, and blood activating should be avoided. Some of the food taboos are proved to be reasonable. Others seem to be impractical, anyway, it is a good reference for the application of dietetic therapy.

Acne, psoriasis, eczema, diet, digestion and traditional Chinese medicine
The following is an excerpt from Hot and Cold Health by R. G. Heft (Acupuncture Physician FL 1992- 2002) based on traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines and the questioning and counseling of 10,000+ Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on the theory, observation that everything is an ongoing balance of opposites, many of which we control through diet, exercise, sex, thought, etc.

The skin is the body's largest organ. It has several functions.
(1) Acts as a protective cover, shield, barrier between the body and the external environment (heat, cold, dryness, dampness, wind)
(2) Has pores, openings allowing the body to release excessive heat, energy (in the form of perspiration) and or retain heat, energy.
(3) Sebaceous glands located throughout the body in the dermis (layer of skin below epidermis, outer layer of skin) secrete sebum an oily liquid that moistens the skin and hair. It also helps the body retain heat. Acne (raised, red lesions, pustules, blackheads, etc.) is an inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands affecting primarily the face and shoulders
The skin is made from food, nutrients. There are only two kinds of foods, nutrients: building and cleansing. Building nutrients, foods (protein, fat, meat, eggs, cheese, beans, etc.) build and fuel. Cleansing nutrients, foods (water, minerals, fruit, vegetables, grains, etc.) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten.
Long-term low protein, low fat (milk, yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, etc.) and high carbohydrate (bread, pasta, salads, tropical fruits, juices, smoothies, etc.) diets tend to cool, weaken and dilute digestion, reducing nutrient absorption, decreasing and thinning the blood (blood deficiency). Blood deficiency, in the extreme, tends to weaken, sag, thin, dry, crack and or bleed the skin producing partial facial flushing, red spots, splotches, acne, cracked skin, bleeding, pustules, eczema, exposed capillaries, blue veins and or translucent skin.
Too many building foods, protein and fat, especially animal (red meat, pork, chicken, eggs, cheese, fried foods, oil, etc.), in addition to alcohol, sugar tends to cause raised, red, hard painful, oily pimples, pus, boils and or dry flaky skin; warts, moles, psoriasis, tumors, etc. All excess sugar is turned into fat. Protein and fat build, thicken, fuel and heat. Too much tends to thicken, overbuild and overheat the blood, which in turn, overbuilds, overheats the skin.
The middle diet, meal plan adjusted accordingly is recommended. Try to eat simply and do not overeat. For deficiency, increase protein, fat (eggs, turkey, chicken, etc.), spices, cooked foods, (soups, vegetables), and a small amount of fruit (avoid tropical), for balance. For the overbuilt, eat less animal (red meat, pork, veal, chicken, etc.) and more beans, nuts, seeds, rice, vegetables, fruit (apples, pineapple, etc.). Space and or skip meals, especially dinner. Experience hunger and quench with water.
The beauty, health of the skin, starts in the inside via simple diet. From the outside, you can use good quality soaps, shampoos, cosmetics, etc. I highly recommend Aubrey Organics and Zia Cosmetics. Calendula oil is great for burns helps prevent scarring.
Eczema (cold, damp)
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis is an inflammatory condition of the skin that produces blister like formations that weep, release fluid before forming a crust, scale and or flake. Itching may also occur. Poor diet is a major cause.
The body digests, transforms food, nutrients into blood, into structure (skin) into function, into health or disease. There are only two kinds of nutrients, foods: building and cleansing. Building nutrients (protein and fat) build and fuel. Cleansing nutrients (water, sugar, minerals, etc.) reduce, cleanse, cool and moisten. The correct amount of building and cleansing builds and maintains healthy skin (thick, firm, strong, etc. The incorrect amounts, build too much or too little skin. Too little protein and fat tends to under build, thin and weaken the skin causing it to crack, bleed and or infect.
The symptoms of eczema indicate deficiency via breakdown (falling apart). Low protein and low fat diets, in the extreme, tend to thin and weaken all structure and function, including the skin. Too many carbohydrates (pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, etc.) tend to dilute and weaken digestion (acid, enzymes) reducing nutrient absorption (especially protein and fat), blood, which in turn, dilutes, weakens and thins everything else skin, hair, bones, memory, vision, etc.
Case history: In 1989, I developed a bad, hideous case of eczema. It first started as a pimple, blister on my index finger (left hand). Over the course of two months, it (blisters, cracked skin, bleeding, pus, etc.) spread to every finger up the back of hand to the arm. My other hand was affected eventually although not 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. I eventually 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, low protein, low fat, sweet and cooling. I was living in Hollywood. Fl. I reduced juices, fruits, increased protein and fat and started cooking with spices (fennel, cumin, coriander, ginger, etc.). I always used at least five spices. Within three weeks, my eczema cleared up. My digestion also improved less bloating, gas, burping, farting, etc. I did have eczema as a teenager, although not as serious.
Diet related eczema is simple but time consuming to cure as the skin takes time to rebuild via proper diet. The middle diet, daily meal plan, adjusted accordingly is recommended. Reduce salads, raw vegetables, tropical and citrus fruits, cold drinks, milk and yogurt
Other causes of eczema: low levels of hydrochloric acid, Candidiasis and or food allergies, all of which can all be caused by poor diet (low protein, low fat and high carbohydrate, in the extreme).
Psoriasis (hot)
Psoriasis is a painful chronic skin disorder characterized by dry, red, scaly skin covering the scalp, genitalia, skin, etc. that alternates between exacerbation and remission. It is a disease of excess, caused in general by too much protein and fat, especially red meat, pork, hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, lasagna, oily, greasy foods (fries, chips, etc.) in addition to alcohol and sweets. Psoriasis generally occurs in conjunction with liver congestion, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, etc. The colder middle diet, meal plan is recommended.
