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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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
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.
“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.
