Macrobiotics is based on the laws of yin and yang—the complementary energies
that flow throughout the universe and quicken every cell of our bodies and every
morsel of the food we eat. Michio Kushi and Alex Jack, distinguished educators
of the macrobiotic way, believe that almost every human ailment from the common
cold to cancer can be helped, and often cured, by balancing the flow of energy
(the ki) inside us. The most effective way to do this is to eat the right
foods, according to our individual day-to-day needs. Now in this marvelous
guide, they give us the basics of macrobiotic eating and living, and explain how
to use this powerful source of healing to become healthier and happier, to
prevent or relieve more than two hundred ailments, conditions, or disorders—both
physical and psychological.
This encyclopedic compendium of macrobiotic
fundamentals, remedies, menus, and recipes takes into account the newest
thinking and evolving practices within the macrobiotic community. The authors
integrate all the information into a remarkable A to Z guide to macrobiotic
healing—from AIDS, allergies, and arthritis, to cancer, diabetes, and heart
disease. They also clearly explain what we need to know to start eating a true
macrobiotic diet that will provide us with a complete balance of energy and
nutrients.
Living as we all do in environmental and climactic
circumstances that are largely outside our personal control, it is vital that we
follow a healthy lifestyle, including a flexible diet that we can adjust to meet
our own individual needs. The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health gives us
precisely the tools and the understanding we need to achieve this goal. Use it
