One of the people responsible for me discovering and enjoying the healing benefits of Macrobiotics back in the 1980's was Denny Waxman, the Director of Strengthening Health Institute in Philadelphia. He has been involved for years in educating and demystifying the whole area of Macrobiotics.

In my 20's I overcame an ulcer by adopting (temporarily) a Macrobiotic diet. Many other benefits were derived from that initial experience for which which I am grateful.

Denny sent a comment to this blog in February that is worth re-posting:

"Macrobiotics is not a diet. Macrobiotics is an orderly approach to diet and lifestyle. Through principles of harmony, balance and change we continually learn how to make healthier choices in our eating habits, diet, activity and lifestyle.

Macrobiotics is also based on the understanding that spiritual health, the development of endless appreciation for all of life, leads to mental, emotional and physical health. The healthy choices we each make on a daily basis also benefit society and the environment." -Denny Waxman, February 1, 2009 9:19 AM

It's true, although I categorize Macrobiotics as a diet in my book, food is but one aspect of the Macrobiotic "lifestyle". It is health and vitality no matter how you describe it. I have seen incredible results in people who have followed this path.
