Hi bulldog2, there is definitely a possible link between local environment and the health of its people. And the idea of eating according to the season/locale is not a new idea for sure...personally, I scribe to no diet in particular except to eat a healthy one, much of what you had already outlined before is slready the mainstay of my current diet.
With regard to Native American practices I have studied some about Native American philosophy, not very recently though. It's a beautiful culture. Their medicine practices are quite different and more or less ritualistic often performed by a medicine man/woman...it has a component of energy and spirit healing along with it. Sure that goes into an entirely different realm with many more variabilities and unknowns. I certainly could never reproduce the results of an experienced medicine woman on my own, that I know. Aside from which, even if there was a powerful medicine woman inside of me, their pactices are FAR less documented than TCM. ;o)
..."Early settlers and Native Americans got sick and died even though they took herbs and used natural meds"...well, that was then, this is now. Instead of being plagued with small pox/influenza/Bubonic fever and various other pandemic diseases, we have diabetes/heart disease/cancer. And well, ya know what...we're all gonna die some day. Who knows what from or when, but someday.
Did you read my earlier post? There must be a missed connection. I'm not denying myself meds, I have full intent to see a pdoc (I have to wait for an opening), and am open to prescription drugs if that is what is recommended...leary...but open. No one here has said to "not" use Rx meds...if anything the opposite. As stated before, I am looking at the whole picture and trying to build a multi-branched approach to become as healthy as possible on all levels.
