First published in 1981, Dr. Haas's STAYING HEALTHY WITH THE SEASONS has become a classic in the fields of holistic health and healing through nutrition. Based on a traditional Chinese medical theory that embraces five seasons and their corresponding elements, this book suggests that each element is associated with a flavour, and each flavour is an indicator of balance or imbalance within the body.

Getting well and Staying Healthy:
If you are tired of being prescribed another "pill" for every symptom and are more interested in finding the source of your health problems instead, this is a must-read. Every person interested in living healthy lives will benefit by this book. I really liked all the many illustrations and margin quotes and notes i.e. Stanley Burrough's Master Cleanser, a recipe for detoxing.

Not a handy book:
Very disappointed- I was looking for something that would be helpful and it is not, unless one fully follows Chinese medicine. The book is time consuming for the small and questionable amount of information that one can glean out of the whole.

I owned this book years ago, but then misplaced it. My massage therapist let me borrow hers, and then I reordered this book. It explains all four season and what to do to take care of yourself each season. It's quite informative. Most of the reading in here is holistic, meaning no diet tricks, just great advice on organic eating, preventive medicine, a whole body approach to staying healthy. This is part of my permanent library.
Eye opening and a blessing for your life:
I truly agree with the review written by M. Savoie "waxnwane" (Bound Brook, NJ USA). I add that this book is like an owner's manual for the human body. I, too, went to a Holistic Massage School, and I thank the powers that be that I got this book from them! I am learning things from this book that I have not found (written or spoken) anywhere else. I specifically like the "Anatomy of the Meridians: The Chi Flow Clock" on pg. 28. It illustrates what organ is active or passive at corresponding times... more info
