hello everyone, this is my first posting to this GREAT site...and I have to share my most positive discovery of truth since first reading STAR SIGNS...and it has changed my physical existence SO dramatically. The Book of Macrobiotics by Michio Kushi!!! It describes the art and science of nutrition and living, in a more complete and TRULY EFFECTIVE way than I ever dreamed existed! Honestly, I have struggled all my life with health and eating disorders, small and large, and after a few days of simply allowing my body it's natural recovery and functioning to take place, I now feel euphoric and superhuman! My husband had been suffering extreme panic attacks for years, although he was a "health nut"...but after making very small adjustments to his diet, he is now flawlessly energetic, healthy, and beautiful. I kid you not. Our bodies have many delicate systems of balance, for him, he was taking in excess liquids(herbal tea was his oral fixation), which was taxing his kidneys, interfering with sleep and toxin removal...and adding whole grains and sea vegetables to our vegetarian diet filled unknown mineral gaps...we both eat big meals more delicious than any processed foods--and were SHOCKED when magically we both lost those "last 20 pounds", our muscle tone came out(for the first time ever), we were shot full of more energy-love-inner peace,and our skin cleared up beautifully. I feel as though I've been given a magic wand...I certainly don't want to sound preachy, please, don't take my word for it...and only live according to your personal rules and no one else's, but know, THERE IS A CHOICE. Conduct your own tests...but you are all such super folks, I've gotta let you know about "macro-bio-tics"; the "big picture-life-the science of it's workings". Eastern and Western knowleges combined, the invisible energies of the foods we eat, this book even explains esoteric teachings of Jesus Christ that have long since been removed from the Bible,i.e. the 3-day "sermon on the mount" seminar, where a multitude was kept spellbound by...what exactly? The 2 fishes and 5 loaves are symbolic of spiritual 'food', the knowledge of yin-yang properties and the five transformations of universal change...this book also details the all-encompassing spirals of life, and the journey of the spirit...I have personally met many people who have healed themselves of cancer, aids, and all manner of "chronic" and "deadly" illnesses through a macrobiotic way of life; it's simply amazing. I better wrap it up...another excellent book I found, "Magnetic Healing" by Abbott George Burke, a monk who studies esoteric christianity, details how to use your body as a life energy conductor, healing with your hands. Also, for Merlins-in-training, or number lovers, "Cosmic Secrets" by Russell A. Smith, based on the writings of Gurdjieff. The latter is quite a hefty chew, but remarkable. Okay, next time, I'll go off on sugar and dairy. I love y'all!
P.S. we eat lots of raw veggies (organic only!!!) try this salad: leaf lettuce, shredded beets and carrots, raw corn off the cob, raw califlower/broccoli sliced thin, bit of onion(if you like it), celery is good...then mix your own dressing: raw apple cider vinegar(Bragg's is excellent), Bragg's liquid aminos(like a super soy sauce), and raw sesame tahini. This dressing is the best I've ever had. We keep our salad bowl on the purple plate as we prepare until we eat it, and the happy living foods give us such a healthy "high".
