FORWARD by Mishio Kushi
The macrobiotic way of life is based on living in harmony with the natural environment. The environment has a profound influence on our health. The quality of air that we breathe and water we drink directly influence our condition, as does the human environment around us. A noisy, high-stress environment, for example, can interfere with our efforts to be healthy, while a quiet, natural environment supports well being. Daily food is a condensed form of the environment that we internalize each day, and thus has a decisive influence on health and well being.
Between this book, TIRED OR TOXIC?, YOU ARE WHAT YOU ATE, and THE E.I. SYNDROME, Dr. Sherry Rogers explores the relationship between diet, environment, and human health and sickness. She explains how an unnatural, overly artificial diet contributes to a variety of health problems, and how certain aspects of the modern lifestyle, including the use of artificial substances in our surroundings, can also weaken health.
It was through her study of environmental illness that Dr. Rogers discovered the macrobiotic approach. She has since deepened her understanding by participating in special seminars for physicians presented by the Kushi Institute, and by attending and assisting at the Macrobiotic Way of Life Seminars in Boston. She has also begun to offer macrobiotics to an increasing number of patients, and has witnessed numerous improvements in health as a result.
With her study and personal experience as a background, Dr. Rogers explains in her books how the macrobiotic diet, based on unrefined whole grains, beans and bean products, fresh local vegetables, sea vegetables and other whole natural foods, can prevent illness and restore health. She offers the case histories of her patients as proof of the efficacy of macrobiotics. Dr. Rogers also includes practical guidelines and suggestions designed to help readers embark on a new way of eating and living.« less

Description from the Publisher, Prestige Publishing (www.prestigepublishing.com):
THE CURE IS IN THE KITCHEN is the first book to ever spell out in detail what all those people ate day to day who cleared their incurable diseases, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, lupus, chronic fatigue, colitis, asthma, migraines, depression, hypertension, heart disease, angina, undiagnosable symptoms, and relentless chemical, food, candida, and electromagnetic sensitivities, as well as terminal cancers.
Dr. Rogers flew to Boston each month to work side by side with Mr. Michio Kushi, as he counseled people at the end of their medical ropes. As their remarkable case histories will show you, nothing is hopeless. Many of these people had failed to improve with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Instead their metastases continued to spread. It was only when they were sent home to die in a few weeks, that they turned to the diet.
Medical studies confirmed that this diet has more that tripled the survival from cancers. And the beauty of this diet is that you use God-given whole foods to coax the body into the healing mode...
Part of the DISCLAIMER in this book (Page iv):
Macrobiotics is not a diet to cure cancer. It is a diet, that along with other important lifestyle changes, enables some, but not all people to reach a state of wellness. In fact, the macrobiotic diet actually makes some people feel unwell or worse. Therefore, it definitely is not for everyone.
