The Cancer Prevention Diet: Revised and Updated: The Macrobiotic Approach to Preventing and Relieving Cancer

Michio Kushi remains as the one writer who has written so well and coherently on the subject of degenerative disease. He is not the only one to do so, and his are not the only theories, but he has managed to write completely within the integrity of his own ideas and as such that makes a deal of sense. You may still die from the acquired or congenital disease process, but you will have fought valiantly with perhaps some increased chances of remission if not actual and complete cure. I need to emphasise that Kushi's ideas are not the only ways of fighting diseases, there are numerous other approaches, but personally I find his ideas ethical and a good deal more aesthetic than much of what is available currently for the seriously ill.

Arrived in good order

This book was written by Michio Kushi to help Japanese people to cure themselves of radiation sickness and the cancers that followed. Alex Jack made it comprehensible for Western readers for whom the yin-yang concepts were initially meaningless. I have found it remarkable as a way to reverse illness, and as a detoxification of the whole system, organs and rejuvenation. To gain the full benefit however it is necessary to follow the directions prescribed in the book, to the letter, as any deviation undoes the benefit gained and stops it from working like medicine, until full commitment is resumed. It is however important to be clear that the book is intended either for prevention or to be used in support of conventional treatment, not instead of it.The general principles are good for maintaining health. Absolute commitment is needed however if it is to be treated as food as medicine.

Not happy with the fact the pages are coming away from the spine of this new book, not second hand.

A big Thank You to Amazon, for I have purchased three books, titled, The Cancer Prevention Diet by Michio Kushi, Alex Jack. They arrived safely to the house with a free super saver delivery, via Royal Mail. The books arrived in a very good condition, and in prompt time. Luigi

Quite a few years after this book was published, the author (Michio Kushi) got cancer of the bowel from which he only just survived by western surgery, and his wife and daughter both died from cervarian cancer, despite a lifetime eating a macrobiotic diet.However, the principles are sound, but just don't follow it too strictly...Michio couldn't, as according to his son he mainly ate in the International House of Pancakes.
