Dr Borten, I loved your discussion with Marc David on The Future of Nutrition. This was the first time that I really began to understand TCM. I immediately went to your website to read more about the expanded view of the digestive organs and organs in general but did not locate a file that focused on this. Could you please direct me to more info on this? Is there a book you would recommend (sure wish you had written one:)) that a lay person could read about this?
I have been dealing with SIBO and would like to make a more holistic connection here regarding all the digestive organs and my life.
Thanks so much for your help.

Hi Jeanne,
Sorry for not responding sooner. I just discovered your comment. (The site doesn’t notify if people comment and I hadn’t scrolled down on this page until now.) I have written a book on this stuff, but it’s still being edited. Meanwhile, much of this material – expanded views of the digestive organs – is available through my online course: http://www.thedragontree.com/howtoeat/
Also, if you look through the nutrition-related articles on this site, I do touch on it here and there (though, admittedly, not in great detail).
Be well.

HI : PETER:
I saw your note on Gotu Kola with He shou wu….Gotu Kola is my favorite cooling herb to counteract stress, spicy food, and warm & energetic herb like shu di huang & He SHou wu, Huang qi, Cordycep. It is a soft drink/smoothie in Asia but they add too much sugar. It seem the Gotu Kola come in 2 name Pang da wan (mayway) or Ji Xue cao. I herb from Health Concern that it cool liver fire, and prevent nervous break down.
Take Care.
