Hi,
While researching about significance of Pillars on Feng Shui, I came across the above question. It makes sense at first glance and I would really appreciate your comments since you are an expert in this area.

Dear Anon,
1. Health must never be compromised in anyway.
2. Feng Shui, Chinese Astrology, Destiny are inanimate or do not / should not relate to the directly to anatomy of human beings. This is a general analysis. Although, each part of the body has a significance. But one cannot relate to food with Feng Shui.
3. Many have not seen the full fledge or a wide range of Chinese `culture'. `Feng Shui' but one of the many many fields or modules of Chinese `systems.'
This spans from Food (which uses the Yin and Yang concept). For example, boiled food, steamed etc.. are considered Yin food.
While fried, salty food are considered Yang food.
4. So, if you can see, even in food e.g. it is so much `different' area.
For example when we talk about water, water is yin while salty food is yang.
Under one concept of Yin and Yang, Yin will always attract yang and vice versa.
For example, if you eat salty food, you need water to quench your thurst.
Here, food can thus be looked at under Yin and Yang.
Thus, it would be *comical* to say that one is a weak fire person, one should not drink water.
Food, comes under another category, as mentioned above.
5. There are lots more Chinese `culture' not explored yet. Or many are not aware of.
For example, in medicine such as acupuncture, Chinese medicine, Chinese kung fu, Qi Gong exercises, reflexlogoy.
6. Drinking water, thus comes under such `other categories'. One should not made to die of thurst because one is a `weak fire' person. *CHUCKLE*
I understand, what you mentioned made sense but, I hope you can see that this is closer to `theory'.
In applied, or real life situation, it should never, never be the case, that of to compromise a human health.
Hope the above helps.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Anon,
Further to what was mentioned earlier, it is common for many Chinese to find a Geomancer after the birth of their child.
The geomancer looks at the child's Pillars of Destiny.
In a very simple example, the child's pillars lack fire element, his can be added with the phonetic sound of `fire'.
As each Chinese character can be classified under each of the Five elements, e.g. the strokes of the name is counted which is considered Yin or Yang such as even or odd strokes plus looking at the phonetic sound.
I brought up an example a short article:
http://www.geomancy.net/fs/names.htm
where, my grandfather consulted a geomancy and my elder brother was given a name with `Shui' (in dialect hokkien it is Chwee close sound) in it.
Thus the first name can be: Lee
Either last name or middle name has: `Shui' in it.
Perhaps one day if you see a person with names such as:
James Water
Simon Metal
Woody Allen
Earth Jane
Perhaps, check with them whether, their names are `tied' with Feng Shui:) *JOKE*
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
