“…During a crisis, some fluid is expelled from the body via perspiration, bleeding, diarrhea, urination, and vomiting. Persian scholars believed that the body normally picks the best feasible way for fluid excretion to maintain fluid balance and that the physician should not block or slow down this path initially but rather facilitate the process with therapeutic measures if required [ 14 ]. Shortly before the crisis, the body modifies fluid consistency and concentration to facilitate excretion.…”

In Persian Medicine (PM) literature, a crisis is the culmination of the body’s response to illness, which necessitates fundamental dietary modification to improve prognosis. In this narrative review, authentic PM textbooks as well as articles on diets for critically-ill patients (CIPs) obtained from PubMed and Google Scholar databases, were reviewed, and after gathering data, they were classified, coded, analyzed, and compared. In the acute phase, both PM and conventional medicine agree on relative food restriction, but PM lays a special focus on the use of meat in cases of weakness. There are both similarities and differences between PM and conventional medicine regarding nutritional recommendations in critical illness. For example, recommendations for food restriction and protein intake are similar in both schools, but recommendations for carbohydrate intake are different. The variables addressed and emphasized in PM require further evaluation in clinical trials.
