The revised and expanded edition of the book that started Dr. Anthony Sattilaro on his remarkable recovery from cancer, as reported in Life Magazine. Inside, Michio Kushi, founder of Macrobiotics in America, points the way toward a long-lasting solution to the problem of cancer. Also included are twelve moving personal stories of cancer victims who overcame illness through macrobiotics. More than thirty-five years ago, Michio Kushi began saying that diet was a principle cause of cancer. He pointed out that a diet based on whole grains, sea and land vegetables, beans, and seasonal fruits could prevent, and in many cases, help reverse the process of cancer. In this edition of The Macrobiotic Approach to Cancer, Mr. Kushi details the macrobiotic diet and lifestyle that has helped thousands of individuals recover from illness and find better health and peace of mind.

The Book of Macrobiotics is a passport to a world of infinite understanding and adventure. It has been read, reread, studied, and treasured by hundreds of thousands of people who seek a clear, comprehesive approach to the problem of living in a world of endless change. Now after two decades, The Book of Macrobiotics has been completely revised and expanded to reflect refinements in Michio Kushi's teachings, as well as many developments in the modern practice of macrobiotics. During this time, the standard macrobiotic diet has been simplified and broadened. Macrobiotic approaches to cancer, heart disease, and other degenerative disorders have evolved and expanded, as have basic home care and lifestyle recommendations. This revised edition of The Book of Macrobiotics also includes a new chapter on the Spiritual World; new material on Yin and Yang and the Five Transformations, Man/Woman Relations, and Humanity's Origin and Destiny; and an annotated East West Reading List. Many new illustrations have been furnished, and the Food Composition tables have been expanded to include nutritional information on dozens of additional foods, including tempeh, seitan, rice cakes, and amazake. Here, for a new generation, is a beautifully revised and updated version of a macrobiotic classic.

Mr. Kushi suggests a more simple way of eating and living, in harmony with vital health and happiness.

Macrobiotic Diet is a Japan Publications publication.

Today, it is common knowledge that diet can play a significant role in preventing cancer. Numerous medical studies linking the modern high-fat, high-cholesterol diet with breast, colon, prostate, ovarian, and other forms of cancer have provided scientific support to the macrobiotic approach taught for the last thirty years by Michio Kushi and his associates. In Cancer-Free, the East West Foundation with journalists Ann Fawcett and Cynthia Smith presents further evidence that a naturally balanced macrobiotic diet can dramatically and positively influence the outcome of already existing cancers. This book contains personal accounts of thirty people from many walks of life--including housewives, business executives, a medical doctor, a registered nurse, an autoworker, a retired airline pilot, a stockbroker, a United Nations senior administrator--who recovered from a wide range of cancers, including breast cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer, bone cancer, brain tumor, malignant melanoma, leukemia, and Hodgkin's disease. Besides personal narratives, Cancer-Free includes several medically documented cases of terminal cancer remission compiled by Vivien Newbold, M.D., a physician practicing in Philadelphia. This breakthrough study is a must for everyone with an interest in safe, effective natural approaches to health.
