Macrobiotics & Healing

“ The benefits of a macrobiotic diet are becoming increasingly recognized. At Hardvard Medical School, cardiovascular researchers report that people eating a macrobiotic diet for an average of two years have virtually no risk of coronary heart disease, the major cause of death in modern society."

Cancer patients may also benefit. Scientists at Tulane University in New Orleans, Loisiana, and the National Tumor Institute in Milan, Italy, report that a macrobiotic diet may help prevent or control cancer.

Researchers at the New England Medical Center in Boston report that macrobiotic women process estrogen better than others and this may explain their low incidence of breast cancer.
The National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine will soon release a study prepared by researchers at the University of Minnesota
Documenting 76 patients who recovered from cancer with the help of a macrobiotic diet.
Other medical studies have shown that a macrobiotic way of eating is beneficial for improving childhood nutrition, reducing violent and aggressive behaviour among young people, controlling T- cells in young men with AIDS, improving geratric and psychiatric health and reducing multiple chemical sensitivities.

The U. S. government officially recognized the contributions of Michio and Aveline Kushi, the founders of the Kushi Institute, to modern society by creating a permanent collection devoted to macrobiotics and alternative and complementary medicine at the National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution honouring the Kushis.

Mr. Kushi recently testified on the macrobiotic approach to breast cancer before a Congressional committee seeking new ways to prevent and relieve women’s health problems. “
