Food Combining by Dr. John Tilden

Dr. John Tilden was a late 19th century and early 20th century medical doctor who used the principles of Natural Hygiene and food combining to help his patients recover from a wide variety of diseases.

Today we'll look at the first five of Dr. Tilden's suggestions for proper food combining...

• Do not mix starches and protein foods in the same meal.
  
  
• Take but one kind of starch at a meal.
  
  
• Take but one kind of protein at a meal.
  
  
• It is better not to mix starch, fruit, and milk. The triple combination is very hard on most people, especially those with impaired digestion. Milk and fruit make a good combination; also starch and fruit.
  
  
• If we wish to combine ideally we will not take starch and milk in the same meal. Why? Because it is a protein and starch mixture. Raw milk is an ideal food within itself, but heating or pasteurizing kills the life or vitamin element.

Tomorrow, I'll tell you about Dr. Tilden's other five rules for proper food combining.

Oh, by the way, modern medicine says food combining is absolutely absurd and without any kind of scientific foundation.

My response to that is that researchers and doctors shoud try food combining for one week. If it doesn't dramatically improve their digestion, I'll eat my bicycle seat.
