A doctor’s visit in May left me shocked and spurred me into action.
The doctor read my lab work and reported that I had diabetes and that medication would be needed immediately because my blood glucose numbers were in the 600s, the A1C was 7.1 and my cholesterol 226. I was in danger of a stroke.
He wanted me to lose weight because of the pressure it was putting on my heart and kidneys. I was not feeling well at that time, with many symptoms and pain. I was also under a lot of stress taking care of my mother, who was in the hospital also due to diabetic problems. They wanted to amputate her toe. Hearing the doctor diagnose me with the same disease was a reality-check that opened my eyes to immediate action.
I want to thank you for the delicious cookies that you gave me for Valentine’s day. Me and my family ate some and we all thought they were better than anything in the world. And I want to tell you that I love macrobiotic food more than anything.
Words can’t even begin to express the overwhelming gratitude I feel towards you for sharing your experiences with Crohn’s and macrobiotics.
In July 2005, when I was almost 12, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease. For several years prior to that I had not been feeling my best. I had vomited and had cramping in my abdomen fairly frequently. Also, at 12 years of age, I was 4’6” tall and weighed only 57lbs.
We are currently trying macrobiotics: a change of food has provided some initial relief from the pain. The meditation and soft music is relaxing. The tape of “how to chew your food” is an excellent way of slowing someone down and getting them to digest most of the meal before it hits the intestines and they have to do all the difficult work!
My regular visits to the chiropractor gave me temporary relief, but not lasting. One day the chiropractor gave me Virginia Harper’s name. I had met Ginny a year earlier at a Macrobiotic Seminar, and though receptive to her, I did not get involved at the time.
The macrobiotic diet has been responsible for Jonas’ healing. It’s hard to measure the associated benefits of the hope offered by this path as well as the sense of control and responsibility for one’s own health.
As any newcomer to macrobiotics will find, there is a whole new understanding of food, our bodies, the environment and the unique language used. Considering the quality of life I had for the past 11 years, I was willing to give it a try. Within my first two weeks, I had already noticed a significant change.

A friend of mine, Mary Anderson, had been telling me for a while that I should give her best friend, Virginia Harper, a call as she felt sure that she would be able to offer me some hope through an alternative approach – Macrobiotics.
