Editorial Reviews
Review
"One case does not prove a theory, but my own favorable experience with macrobiotics opened my eyes to the accumulating evidence that a whole-grain, leafy vegetable, and bean diet can often prevent, arrest, and even reverse deadly degenerative diseases such as cancers, coronary heart attacks, and strokes. All Americans should get their eyes opened by reading Kushi's Cancer Prevention Diet."--Benjamin Spock, M.D.
"I have prescribed Michio Kushi's dietary approach for everything from uterine fibroid tumors to menopausal symptoms-- with great success. I eagerly await the day when people don't wait until they have cancer to start eating this way."--Christiane Northrup, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.
"This is a powerful anticancer prescription, and one that I heartily recommend."--Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine

Customer Reviews
Healthy oils are essential
Some of the ideas in this book are great; others are terrible. The important work that has been done since the 1980s concerning the essential, healing role that omega-3 fatty acids play in the human diet is not reflected in this book. Be very, very cautious if you use this book. Be sure to read widely to make up for the major deficits of scientific, nutritional knowledge that plague this author.
Informative and Well-Written
Once again, Mischio Kushi has written an informative and precise book on how to maintain your health, even when facing a diagnosis of cancer.
Like so much of the macrobiotic diet, this is a healthy and great diet to begin to feel great and regain your health.
Informative
This book is informative, but since cancer patients have to see a nutritiionist and eat whatever their body allows them to eat, this can be difficult. But, if the the patient can eat whatever they need to, this book has lots of good advice and suggestions.
