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!
