Daoist Dietary Therapy

Daoist medicine's treatment of first resort is dietary therapy.  Foods have medicinal qualities and help balance various aspects of the bodily humours and organs (Zang Fu).  A nutritionist friend sent me the following article about a physician in the Bay Area who started a Farmer's Market in Oakland with his son.  This M.D. believes diet is the foundation of health.  We Daoists "docs" whole heartedly agree!
