Imagine if you will, putting on a big luxurious fur coat during a hot, balmy day or wearing that itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow, polka dot bikini when it was 10 degrees outside and snowing.  Does this sound ridiculous to you?  For most people this would be absurd.  Now let us extend this scenario to the foods we eat.  What if you were eating foods that were like the fur coat in the middle of a humid, hot summer and the bikini in the dead of winter?

My husband and I have found over the past 5 years, this is exactly how a lot of us eat.  In fact, it was how we ate. My husband, Ernie, used to eat cheeseburgers, fries, coffee, cinnamon rolls, turkey sandwiches, sodas, frozen custards (that he was addicted to) and chicken. 

Traveling in a car driving through Texas and Oklahoma, I loved Mexican foods.  I ate a lot of spices, chicken, beef and cheese.  One day, I got out of the car and noticed that my chest had become enormous!  At the time I chalked it up to my ‘wisdom boobs and bigger was better’. I was 5’8” with medium bone structure.  I could carry a little more weight.  This was something else I told myself.  I had never been overweight in my life.  My husband was growing as well.  He was growing out and out.

When we moved to Kansas City, I wore a size 16 and Ernie weighed 220 lbs.  We didn’t need any heaters.  Ernie himself would heat us both up.  He was a radiator of heat.  He was taking cold showers and itching frequently.  He stood on his feet a lot selling and was in pain.  We knew about this Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor, Dr. Fred Weaver and went to him occasionally over the years for acupuncture.  This time when Ernie returned from his visit, he said he was going to a Food Therapy Seminar that Dr. Weaver was giving at The Tao Academy.  It was a three day intensive.  Ernie came back sounding like a doctor that was extremely wise.  I was in shock.  He had a list of foods that were beneficial to eat for summer and a list of foods to avoid.  Guess what?  The foods that we had been eating were all on the list to avoid. 

The first thing Ernie and I did was eliminate red meat, chicken, turkey, cinnamon rolls, coffee, foods with preservatives, spices (especially black pepper), salads,  deep fried foods and dairy.  We both replaced these foods with steamed vegetables, rice, whole grains, fresh fruit, fresh juices, pork, white fish, scallops, and lots of green tea to name a few.  What happened next seemed to be magic!

Ernie lost 15 pounds in one week and 30 pounds in one month.  I went from a size 16 to a size 10 in one month.  Our skin began to glow and our temperaments became more moderate.  Ernie stopped itching and his pain was almost gone.  My ‘wisdom boobs’ were gone as well. 

Why did this work?  One of Albert Einstein’s theories he came up with was the unified field theory.  To break this down, this means that everything is connected as a whole and has duality in its’ relationship. We were looking at the whole dynamics of the food; the environment that the food came from, the energy or nature of the food itself, etc. This is the unified energy field.  Foods can be related to the five phases- metal (white foods), water (black foods), wood (green foods), fire (red foods) and earth (yellow foods).  Foods can also be hot or cold, dry or damp, etc.  This is the duality. 

The key is to eat less of the hot foods and eat more of the cooling foods that are easy to digest. The proper balance of warming and cooling foods and five phases begins to create a cycle where the water and fat move.  

Ernie now weighs 165 and I wear a size 8.  We are happy, healthy and still enjoying new recipes using duality and the five phases.  I am loving wearing that fur in the winter and wearing the bikini in summer!
