Restless Leg Syndrome, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and Rheumatoid Arthritis are clever names for poor circulation via anemic blood or clogged arteries both of which are caused by poor diet and cured by proper diet (includes herbs), not by the best pharmaceuticals, doctors, insurance companies, retirement plans, nursing homes, etc.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the theory, observation that everything is an ongoing balance, interaction of opposites: hot (ynag, building, male) and cold (yin, cleansing, female, moistening).
The body builds up (anabolism, hot) and breaks down (catabolism, cold) largely according to food, nutrients, to which there are only two: building (protein and fat) and cleansing (water, sugar, minerals, etc.). Blood, nutrients build, fuel and cleanse the organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, etc. The correct balance produces health, the incorrect, too much or too little, in the extreme, disease.
Too little protein and fat (thick nutrients) tends to thin and weaken the blood, circulation, especially to the extremities. In the extreme, thin, less blood dries, thins, inflames, weakens etc. the bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, etc. producing pain, inflammation, swelling, redness, etc.
Many women tend to eat anemic, low protein, low-fat (milk, yogurt, soft cheeses, beans, nuts and seeds) and high carbohydrate (pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, etc.) diets, which in turn, thin, dry, inflame, weaken and pain everything else, especially the bones, muscles, tendons, etc in the arms, legs, hands, feet.
Too many cold and damp foods, drinks (milk, yogurt, salads, fruit, juices, cold drinks, etc.), in excess and or at the beginning of a meal, tend to dilute, weaken and slow digestion (acid, enzymes, abdominal bloating, gas) reducing nutrient absorption, blood, circulation, energy, while increasing waste product.
Too much protein and fat tends to thicken the blood, which in turn, thickens, clogs and weakens the liver. All blood passes in and out the liver. The liver stores, cleanses (filters, removes excess protein, fat, cholesterol, impurities, etc.) and releases the blood.
High protein and high fat (especially animal, fried) diets in excess tend to thicken the blood, which in turn, thickens, clogs, swells and weakens the liver. Less cholesterol, fat, impurities, etc. are removed, cleansed, more stays in the blood (high cholesterol, clots, uric acid), thickening, clogging, narrowing and hardening the arteries (plaque, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure), reducing overall circulation, supply of blood and energy especially to the extremities: head, arms, legs, hands, feet, joints, bones, muscles, etc. causing swelling, pain, inflammation, etc. Less blood builds, fuels, moves, cools and moistens less. Dry tissues inflame
Many men tend to eat high protein, high fat (red meat, pork, veal, turkey, chicken, lasagna, pizza, fried foods, etc.), high starch (bread, pastries, etc.) and low vegetables, fruit and tend to suffer Peripheral Artery Disease, Restless leg Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout, insomnia, acne, poor circulation, etc.
Too little protein and fat tends to thin, weaken teh blood, which in turn, thins, weakens the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. causing swelling, pain, inflammation, numbness, etc. in the arms, legs, hands and feet. Less blood, nutrients, protein, fat builds, fuels, moves, cools and moistens less. Dry tissues inflame
Dietary cures blood deficiency (anemia) and stagnation (high cholesterol, clots, atherosclerosis, tumors, cancer) are relatively simple. The middle diet, meal plan adjusted accordingly is recommended. The following diseases have already been cured by the middle diet meal (central theme plus two variations and herbs): Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Gastro Intestinal Reflux Disorder (GIRD), miscarriage, psoriasis, eczema, acne, obesity, anal fissure, anxiety, constipation, sinusitis, impotence, common cold, post nasal drip, arthritis, neuralgia and sore lower back, back pain so far
Hot salves (containing spices, camphor, capsicum/ cayenne pepper, etc.) used externally for reducing pain are also effective, especially when skin is wrapped, covered with plastic (contains, drives heat down, into the skin, muscles). Heat not only dries and warms but also moves. Spices, cooked foods move and warm the blood, and reduce pain via increased circulation, blood. They also help to thin the blood. Cumin, coriander and fennel are mild spices.
Medication, blood thinners can also cause arthritic symptoms. Blood thinners not only thin the blood of excess protein and fat (includes cholesterol), but also thin the bones, skin, hair, etc. which are all fed, thickened by the same blood, protein and fat. When you thin the blood, decrease protein and fat, you thin everything else.
