The groundbreaking dietary program designed to help keep the heart healthy without drugs, surgery, or expensive treatments. Illustrated.

Too often, conventional medicine fails to detect illness--especially when it first begins and is easiest to cure. But Oriental diagnosis, an ancient holistic system of knowledge, can often discover physical problems even before they arise. Now Your Body Never Lies helps you both understand and use this natural, noninvasive approach to restoring good health. Your Body Never Lies starts by explaining the principles of Oriental medicine. It then shows you how to detect and understand health problems simply by looking at the mouth, lips, and teeth; eyes; nose, cheeks, and ears; forehead; hair; hands; feet; and skin. Clear diagrams and easy-to-use charts assist you in quickly recognizing signs of illness so that you can begin working toward a state of balanced well-being. Here is a complete guide to Oriental diagnosis, a revolutionary yet centuries-old way to preserve health and harmony.

Dō-In is an ancient traditional exercise for the cultivation of physical health, mental serenity, and spirituality. Over the last 5,000 years, it has served as the origin of such well-known disciplines as shiatsu, acupuncture, moxibustion, yogic exercises, and meditation. Literally meaning to pull and stretch, Dō-In originated as a way of achieving longevity and attaining the highest potential of mental and spiritual development. Dō-In techniques are a series of motions designed to harmonize body systems. The Dō-In Way details the fundamental aspects of this exercise, which involves breathing, posture, and self-massage and manipulation to stimulate body systems. The gentle application of pressure on the body's meridians corresponds with physical processes, and allows for the conditioning of internal organs. This is a comprehensive handbook to an ancient system of movement designed to enhance physical, mental, and spiritual health.

It is simple in its approach and powerful in its effect--a diet of natural foods and the use of non-invasive home remedies made from natural food products, designed to eliminate many symptoms of disease and strengthen your body's healing power. It is a philosophy of healing rooted in centuries-old traditions. In the past, these traditions were passed from generation to generation by word of mouth. Today, the macrobiotic movement embodies these dietary principles of natural healing.

Part Two details external home therapies and techniques--including over two hundred healing preparations. Illustrations are provided throughout this section. Part Three presents an A-to-Z reference to over two hundred common health disorders. Within each entry you will find a general explanation of the problem, including the macrobiotic view, and helpful suggestions for relief. For years, Michio Kushi has dedicated his life to teaching the macrobiotic way to better health. Now the wealth of his knowledge is available to you and your family in this complete guide to this gentle, yet effective, art of healing.

DO-IN ist eine der althergebrachten traditionellen fernöstlichen Methoden zur Entwicklung und Erhaltung von körperlicher Gesundheit, psychischer Ausgeglichenheit und geistigem Wachstum. * DO-IN hat seinen Ursprung in dem vor unbekannter Zeit entstandenen "Shin-Sen-Do" als einem Weg der Gesundheit und Langlebigkeit sowie der seelisch-geistigen Entwicklung. Shin-Sen-Do ist die Methode, die größtmögliche Befähigung herauszubilden, ein freier Mensch zu werden, der sich von allen relativen, begrifflichen Verhaftungen losgelöst hat, die da wären körperliche Krankheit, psychische Frustration und Konfusion und intellektuelle und soziale Irrungen und Wirrungen. * DO-IN besteht aus einer Vielfalt von Übungen: Selbstmassagepraktiken, Atemtechniken, Summen von Vibrationslauten, Gymnastik, Meditation, Akupressur und yogaähnliche Übungen. Die Ausführung ist in den verschiedensten Kombinationen und Reihenfolgen möglich, von jedem allein ohne Hilfe eines Partners und mit spürbarer Wirkung. * DO-IN lenkt alle äußeren Lebensenergien in unser körperliches und spirituelles Selbst. D.h. DO-IN schafft die Einheit zwischen der äußeren und der inneren Welt. * Die Bewegungen im DO-IN sind einfach und natürlich. Während wir üben, sollte unser ganzer DO-IN-Bewegungsablauf Teil der Bewegung des Universums sein. * Aus dem DO-IN haben sich in den letzten 5000 Jahren Shiatsu, Akupunktur, Moxabehandlung, Yogaübungen und verschiedene Meditationstypen entwickelt und in viele Verzweigungen spezialisiert. * Die Bandbreite des DO-IN, die jeder einzelne in seiner Familie praktizieren kann, wird von großem Nutzen sein für Gesundheit, Glück und Freiheit der Menschheit - selbstredend ein Beitrag zu der natürlichen Entwicklung hin zu der Einen Friedlichen Welt.

Since its original publication a quarter-century ago, "The Cancer Prevention Diet" has been one of the most popular guides to the prevention and relief of society's most feared disease. Drawing on the most up-to-date cancer research, Michio Kushi and Alex Jack present a dietary program that can be implemented safely and simply at home, at a fraction of the cost of usual meals and medical care. This completely revised and updated twenty fifth anniversary edition includes: broader dietary guidelines and new recipes; new research on the twenty most frequent types of cancer; new ways to combine macrobiotics with chemotherapy, radiation, and more; the latest statistics, studies, and treatments; and, the role of positive emotions in the healing process.

The Book of Macrobiotics is a passport to a world of infinite understanding and adventure. It has been read, reread, studied, and treasured by hundreds of thousands of people who seek a clear, comprehesive approach to the problem of living in a world of endless change. Now after two decades, The Book of Macrobiotics has been completely revised and expanded to reflect refinements in Michio Kushi's teachings, as well as many developments in the modern practice of macrobiotics. During this time, the standard macrobiotic diet has been simplified and broadened. Macrobiotic approaches to cancer, heart disease, and other degenerative disorders have evolved and expanded, as have basic home care and lifestyle recommendations. This revised edition of The Book of Macrobiotics also includes a new chapter on the Spiritual World; new material on Yin and Yang and the Five Transformations, Man/Woman Relations, and Humanity's Origin and Destiny; and an annotated East West Reading List. Many new illustrations have been furnished, and the Food Composition tables have been expanded to include nutritional information on dozens of additional foods, including tempeh, seitan, rice cakes, and amazake. Here, for a new generation, is a beautifully revised and updated version of a macrobiotic classic.

No matter where we live or what language we speak, food is an essential factor that shapes the way we think, feel, act, and respond to one another. In this milestone book, Michio Kushi presents his vision for building world peace through a sane way of eating. As the leader of the modern-day international macrobiotic movement, Michio has taught, lectured, written, and worked steadily to achieve his view of the future--a world in which all people can live in harmony with nature and with one another. In 1987, he launched his One Peaceful World society, a worldwide educational organization devoted to bringing about world peace through a new awareness of the links between food and the emotions, natural law, history, and international order. This book lays the foundation for One Peaceful World. It includes case studies throughout history in which macrobiotic diets relieved conflict and sickness. It traces the rise of the organic and natural foods industry, to which Kushi has been a notable contributor. It offers menus and recipes, reference sources, and a wealth of information that point the way to a new approach to diet and thought. And it recommends additional actions that we can take to bring unity to the world. The book is divided into four parts. In Part 1, Kushi details his early life in Japan during World War II, and his journey to macrobiotics under the guidance of George Ohsawa. Part 2 delves into the cosmological and universal concepts behind macrobiotics, including the importance of yin and yang. In Part 3, Kushi discusses the values that are essential to creating One Peaceful World in modern times. And in Part 4, the author looks forward to a new world government. One Peaceful World is an important and fascinating book for anyone committed to good health, whole foods, and world peace.
