5.0 out of 5 stars I am 38, the book saved my life twice., December 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Zen Macrobiotics: The Art of Rejuvenation and Longevity (Paperback)

Having a decadent and unhealthy lifestyle,one day a friend told me "the only chance for you to survive is to read and live by the book, 'Zen Macrobiotic' by George Ohsawa". I started to read, it was more like listening to a old man of wisdom. That man had a great life story which he was giving me all of his discoveries to a meaningful life. Life is beautiful.

HEALTH PERSPECTIVE

I have had severe brittle diabetes since I was six. I was running blood pressure of 160-170 over 110-120 when I read this book. When I began practicing his diet and teachings, my blood pressure dropped gradually to where it has been since 120-125 over 80 to 90. I have also, several times, used his cures for specific ailments.

From a HEALTH Perspective, I HIGHLY RECCOMMEND this book to everyone (no one lacks physical problems).


PERSPECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

Synthesizing the history of Eastern perspectives, Ohsawa makes us see quite clearly through the use of statistics and life stories just how difficult it is to rationalize Western Capitalistic Culture and the effects of corporate medicine and dietary habits on Americans (few realize that over 95% of the diet propoganda in the US comes from the Meat and Dairy industry, and, as John Robbins shows through innumerable scientific studies in his The Food Revolution, almost everything that propoganda says is untrue and designed to get us to buy meat and dairy products).

From a PERSPECTIVES perspective, I HIGHLY recommend this book.
