Page "Gillian McKeith" Paragraph 10

In her book You Are What You Eat, McKeith advocates examination of the tongue, the mapping of pimples, and detailed scrutiny of faecal matter and urine as indicators of health.

She asserts that many exterior parts of the body provide insight into illness: " I always think of the tongue as being like a window to the organs.

The extreme tip correlates to the heart, the bit slightly behind is the lungs.

The right side shows what the gallbladder is up to and the left side the liver.

The middle indicates the condition of your stomach and spleen, the back the kidneys, intestines and womb.

" These claims have no scientific basis.
