The Cure is in the Kitchen: The Strict Healing Phase for the Macrobiotic Diet [Paperback]

Sherry A. Rogers (Author), Mishio Kushi (Foreword)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0961882131 | ISBN-13: 978-0961882136 | Publication Date: November 1991 | Edition: First Edition

The macrobiotic way of life is based on living in harmony with the natural environment. The environment has a profound influence on our health. The quality of air that we breathe and water we drink directly influence our condition, as does the human environment around us. A noisy, high-stress environment, for example, can interfere with our efforts to be healthy, while a quiet, natural environment supports well being. Daily food is a condensed form of the environment that we internalize each day, and thus has a decisive influence on health and well being. Between this book, Tired Or Toxic? You Are What You Ate, and The E. I. Syndrome, Dr. Sherry Rogers explores the relationship between diet, environment, and human health and sickness. She explains how an unnatural, overly artificial diet contributes to a variety of health problems, and how certain aspects of the modern lifestyle, including the use of artificial substances in our surroundings, can also weaken health. --- excerpts from book's Foreword

Sherry Rogers was my doctor for a number of years. She was always ahead of her time and now it shows! All of her books are wonderful, informative, easy to read and life saving. I hope everyone gets as much from this and all her books as I have. You'll be amazed at how much you DON'T know about your body, the environment and how we are killing ourselves until you read these books. Trust me, I am only a consumer here, but I pass these books on to everyone I care about and have for years! I'm going to post this to all the books I have read by Sherry. I just can't say enough about this woman. She literally saved my life (allergies, life and health threatening mineral and vitamin deficiencies) and my husband's too (bladder cancer). Love, Susan Manchester

I wish I had read this book before I went for my first consultation for macrobiotic diet.
This book is easy to use for the beginner, in that it teaches in the way most of us that are unfamiliar to macrobiotics would understand how to "just get started".
For the person with the scary cancer diagnosis, I feel their concerns are also addressed in a responsible way to assist the learning curve.

Having never read this author before, I did not know she was a macrobiotics enthusiast. I just wanted some general information on improving my diet. I'm not interested in macrobiotics. However, in perusing the book, it seemed to be very detailed and comprehensive. It also seemed to be very labor intensive. If you're into macrobiotics, I guess it's a labor of love. It just wasn't for me.
