Great!
This is a very clear, concise reference guide packed with info that is small / thin enough to carry in a pocketbook.I bring mine with me everywhere.

Michio Kushi's Standard Macrobiotic Diet
An essential reference for anyone pursuing the macrobiotic lifestyle.This slim volume is just the nuts and bolts--but the complete nuts and bolts--of the so-called standard macrobiotic diet, meaning the diet which forms the basis of all individual versions of it.It's where you start, and it's where you return if you lose your way on the journey.You'll find it indispensable as a beginner, and a most useful reference if you are a teacher of macrobiotics, or a macrobiotic counselor.Michio analyzes the standard diet into its component food categories:grains, beans, sea vegetables, land vegetables, animal foods, fruits, and so on; seasonings, cooking methods, and special dishes as well as symptomatic treatments and basic recipes.It's the clearest presentation you can imagine.As a macrobiotic counselor I keep a supply on hand for my clients. ...

Easy and helpful home remedies, a book everyone should own
I would highly recommend this book to anyone, even if they aren't macrobiotic.The remedies are easy and best of all, completely natural.Michio Kushi is the leader of macrobiotics today and Marc Vancauwenberghe is one of the great teachers.Their knowledge of nutrition and natural medecine seems to be neverending!

Answers, answers, answers
The perfect blend of the spiritual and the practical, this book illuminates so many topics previously mysterious to me, such as traditional Oriental versus Western (Occidental) medicine; yin and yang (an incrediblycomprehensive explanation of these concepts and why they should matter toevery human being, no matter what their spiritual perspective); plus anarray of what are unfortunately still considered "alternative"medical treatments, like acupuncture, palm healing, and shiatsu, and manysimple self-treatments (sound therapy through the use of basicbreathing/"chanting" techniques; stretches for stimulatingstagnating organs).It's a whole body/mind/universe view that helps usunderstand the profound connectedness of"in here" and "outthere" in terms of energy (ki, chi).A wonderful overview book toserve as a springboard for discovering topics for further exploration, butstill full of immediately usable information without further reading. ...

A Taoist Interpretation of Macrobiotics.
Containing common sense advice on preventive medicine plus some very dubious diagnosis, the book: NATURAL HEALING THROUGH MACROBIOTICS (c. 1978) by Michio Kushi, is actually a very good introduction to the concept of the macrobiotic dietary approach to health emphasizing a diet of whole grains and boiled vegetables as staple foods, merged with the Taoist practice of internal alchemy to achieve immortality.
Natural Healing Through Macrobiotics
Offers a clear, concise, explanation of how whole foods and oriental diet/natural medicine can reverse health conditions and prevent illness. Love this book. Puts you on a healthy-minded approach to body - mind. ... Read more

Our Guardian Angels Are For A Reason.
Everyone has a guardian angel, which can be male or female.We come into this world for a purpose, and angels guide us along the way.Angels work with us, cooperate, and lead us to do God's intented work for us; we are a part of God.But, can we speak with angels?It takes a special gift from God.Talking with angels is possible for anyone with the deep wish to do so and the willingness to set aside negative thoughts and feelings.We must listen to them with our heart and not the mind.Let your listening extend to the sound that is furthest away.We can carry on a conversation; their anwers may come in words, or in a picture, even colors.The Bible says, "He shall give his angels charge over thee."That doesn't mean big,stately angels.Small ones with the flutter of tiny wings will do.
A Christian, Bible-based view of how angels are sent by God
Angelic Healing is a Christian book, not a New Age book. The author is a Christian woman, and her book is based on Biblical principles, without ever being polemical or critical of people who may hold other views. What she has to say about the need for forgiveness and giving up the fear in our lives is very valuable, and the stories of how God sent angels with "healing in their wings" are most inspirational, as is the author's own struggle with cancer. It helped me a lot. ... Read more

Not for cancer prevention...
Sadly, Aveline Kushi has recently died - of cancer.Being that she was Japanese, the healthiest and longest lived people in the world, this doesn't really speak well for the diet. The Macrobiotic Way
Hi, This book "The Macrobiotic Cancer Prevention Cookbook" is very interesting, detailed and quite helpful for all who are following more healthful lifestyle. You will not find glossy photos of food in this cookbook, instead you will find incouragement for a healthy diet, cancer prevention guidelines,recipies for a seven day menu plan to get started, and the products and "how to" instructions for natural home remidies. All in all I think this book is really worth the time to study. ... Read more

Macrobiotic Musings
"Macrobiotic Seminars" is a collection of articles by Michio Kushi from over thirty five years of Macrobiotic theory and practice. Topics include self-diagnosis, diet and nutrition, love and marriage, ki and kitchens. Especially interesting is the connection drawn between sugar and mental illness. I like the emphasis given to quality whole foods as a pivotal factor of good health.Read more

American Farmers are the key to true Organic Farming
American Farmers are the only farmers in the world, that are under the watchful eye of a Gov't agency. NO chemicals may be sold without a "Notice of Intent" which is sent to the local agricultural commissioner of each county. Each noice of intent spells out exactly how and when each chemical is to be used. What other country even monitors chemical use?So, when it comes to true Organic Farming, who do you trust? ...

It changed my life.
This book was hard to find since it is now out of print, but I can understand why. It is really grerat. It is the story of real courage and triumph over mental illness. Most people with schizophrenia are told that they will live with it for the rest of their lives. They are told that there is "no kown cause and no known cure." The authors of this book show us that there IS a cause and that it CAN be cured. Thank you, David and Charlotte, thank you!

From the depth of my heart THANK-YOU David Briscoe.
I can't say enough about this beautifully written book. I't is perhaps the most honest and generous book I have ever read. David's story is compelling and extremely inspirational. His story has made a very large impact on mylife. It's been a number of years since I read the book yet Istill referto it on occasion. Don't be misled by the title and think that only thosewith severe mental health problems can benefeit from the book. I feel thatpeople from many backgrounds and differing levels of emotional and physicalwell being can create great benefiets for themselves with the help of thisbook. This is a book for those who want to take full responsibility fortheir health, who are not afraid to look honestly at there lives and whobeleive that what they do in the present helps create their future.Read more
