Product Description
3. THE KEMETIC DIET: GUIDE TO HEALTH, DIET AND FASTING Health issues have always been important to human beings since the beginning of time. The earliest records of history show that the art of healing was held in high esteem since the time of Ancient Egypt. In the early 20th century, medical doctors had almost attained the status of sainthood by the promotion of the idea that they alone were "scientists" while other healing modalities and traditional healers who did not follow the "scientific method' were nothing but superstitious, ignorant charlatans who at best would take the money of their clients and at worst kill them with the unscientific "snake oils" and "irrational theories". In the late 20th century, the failure of the modern medical establishment's ability to lead the general public to good health, promoted the move by many in society towards "alternative medicine". Alternative medicine disciplines are those healing modalities which do not adhere to the philosophy of allopathic medicine. Allopathic medicine is what medical doctors practice by an large. It is the theory that disease is caused by agencies outside the body such as bacteria, viruses or physical means which affect the body. These can therefore be treated by medicines and therapies The natural healing method began in the absence of extensive technologies with the idea that all the answers for health may be found in nature or rather, the deviation from nature. Therefore, the health of the body can be restored by correcting the aberration and thereby restoring balance. This is the area that will be covered in this volume. Allopathic techniques have their place in the art of healing. However, we should not forget that the body is a grand achievement of the spirit and built into it is the capacity to maintain itself and heal itself.

Kemetic(Afrikan) Holistic Health
20 Jan 2001
HTP. I would give this book a TEN rating if I could. Sehu Maa has done a tremendous job on this work. This book gives a good background of the holistic background in ancient KMT. Iu-em-htp is referred to in this book as well. The kemetic terms we use for body parts, ailments, mucous, and health conditions are shown. Some of the medical writings are used as examples as well. I strongly recommend this book to upcoming, and experienced healers, especially Afrikans and American born Afrikans. Ankh udja snb Sehu Maa

Pretty Good Book
25 Jan 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
This book is pretty interesting. Some of the stuff about Egypitan/Kemetic history that is in this book you may already know if you have gotten to the point in your studies where you are purchasing this book. Its a good sized book, and has as some step by step applications for the meal plan.I havent read the whole thing through, I have only skipped around, so I cant give it a 5 star rating. But from what I have read it is very informative concerning Kemetic culture and spirituality.

Dr Ashby gets it *almost* right....
18 Mar 2002
Amazon Verified Purchase
Dr. Muata Ashby, who gave us such titles as "Egyptian Yoga" has actually done pretty well in attempting to put out a book about the Ancient Egyptian (Kemetic) view of health and healing. There are a few things which I find to rather sloppy scholarship. It would be nice, if after all this time, he would cite the authors and actual passages of his "Ancient Egyptian Proverbs" that he quotes throughout the book. Also the picture of the "Imhotep Pharmacy" at the temple of Aset (Isis) at Philae on page 28 is a bit over the top. His intentions, however are good, and most anyone can get something from the book as it outlines good eating and living habits. This however, is certainly not the end all be all when studying health and medicine of Ancient Egypt.
