NATURAL STOMACH CARE: How to Tap Eastern & Western Medical Wisdom to Heal & Prevent Gut Problems
By Anil Minocha, M.D. and David Carroll
Avery, Penguin Putnam

Some 35 million Americans suffer annually from one or more of some 40 gastrointestinal disorders, running the gamut of seriousness from garden variety heartburn, progressing to chronic digestive disorders, and ending with life-threatening disease. In the year 2000 the total cost of digestive illness to the American people was estimated at more than $42 billion. Moreover, the number of gut disorders is on the rise. Estimates project that by 2010 digestion-related disease will be the number one cause of missed days in the work place and visits to physicians. No wonder one medical aphorism that dates back to the time of Hippocrates declares that all sickness and all health begins in the stomach.

NATURAL STOMACH CARE offers readers immediate and practical benefits: 25 to 50 percent of all digestion-related ailments can be averted with proper eating, exercise, mental attitude, and related life style modifications. Dr. Minocha offers readers a wide range of easy-to-use, affordable, and effective at-home natural aids that can strengthen the digestion, keep the bowels clean and moving, improve overall health, and thus contribute to positive mental attitudes and to increased longevity. Patients who use these methods will lose weight faster and both look and feel better. Featured in the book are: Physical exercises such as yoga and tai chi that awaken dormant energy channels, healing herbs, Chinese medical techniques, Ayurvedic digestive aids, vitamins and mineral supplements, meditations and visualization techniques especially designed to enhance digestion, special gut-healing foods and diets, fasting techniques, acupressure point stimulation, tricks and tips for chewing, swallowing, and digesting properly, bowel cleaning and irrigation therapies, self-massage and oriental stomach manipulation techniques, life style modification recommendations for a healthier digestive tract.
