Brain Tumor
“Why don’t you give it a name?” my friend suggested. Of course, I thought, this tumor has come to me as a teacher and we will get along better as partners than his adversaries. From that day on, the tumor in my brain became Maud.
ULCERATIVE COLITIS
I am writing to let you know how much my family and I truly have done to heal our sick son Jacob. As you know, Jacob was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. Relying on potent drugs was all we could do to alleviate the pain.
DIABETES
Although my father began eating macrobiotically, I didn’t begin until I came to Boston in June, 1983, where I had my first macrobiotic consultation and was given a completely different way to eat right away.
GENERAL
For everything you have done for me, I could never adequately thank you; however, I have included a very small token of my appreciation. What it lacks in its value is hopefully made up for in sentiment, though!s
NON-HODGKIN’S LYMPHOMA
Seven years ago, this January, I began the greatest challenge of my life. My husband, Larry, our oldest daughter, Lauren, and I were sitting in an oncologist office at a prestigious cancer hospital in Boston, being told I have Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, an inoperable, metastatic, incurable disease of the lymph system.
CROHN’S (severe)
Since starting this diet, I have been able to lose 20lb that were near impossible to lose before this. I have had more energy and feel more peaceful and thankful for my blessings. And, best of all I have stayed in remission with my Crohn’s and was able to reduce or get off of most of my medications.
Gastro
She continues on her macrobiotic journey, a bit more committed than mine! We both may be on the (macrobiotic) cruise this year–she for the food, me for the cooking classes!
GENERALLY FEELING BAD
She visit Ginny Harper who is into macrobiotic cooking and shiatsu massage. After a few visits, Margaret noticed her energy coming back and her personality being revived.
CANCER
Learning about and living the macrobiotic lifestyle had been one of the greatest experiences of my life. It transformed me into a more enlightened, healthy individual. It not only changed my life, it’s saved my life.
BRAIN CANCER
In August, 1986, I had just turned 37 and was thoroughly enjoying my life. And then the bottom fell out. After a grand mal seizure that sent me sprawling onto an asphalt tennis court, many hospital tests, and two surgeries, I was diagnosed as having a grade 3 anaplastic astrocytoma.
