Editorial Reviews

Review

"One case does not prove a theory, but my own favorable experience with macrobiotics opened my eyes to the accumulating evidence that a whole-grain, leafy vegetable, and bean diet can often prevent, arrest, and even reverse deadly degenerative diseases such as cancers, coronary heart attacks, and strokes. All Americans should get their eyes opened by reading Kushi's Cancer Prevention Diet."--Benjamin Spock, M.D.

"I have prescribed Michio Kushi's dietary approach for everything from uterine fibroid tumors to menopausal symptoms-- with great success. I eagerly await the day when people don't wait until they have cancer to start eating this way."--Christiane Northrup, M.D., F.A.C.O.G.

"This is a powerful anticancer prescription, and one that I heartily recommend."--Neal D. Barnard, M.D., President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine

5.0 out of 5 stars It Works! I know friends whose lives were saved!
Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2013

Read the first 2-3 chapters, then read the documented true stories. Then go back and re-read Chapters 1-3, then the rest of the book! One of our dearest friends did this diet when he was told his Malignant Malanoma would kill his in 6 months (surgery offered him a 50% chance). He got two opinions from 2 leading Cancer Centers back in the late 70's. He changed his eating, did not have surgery, and in one year was CANCER FREE and he's still with us CANCER FREE. It's all about Rice, Grains and cleansing, but not as weird as you might think! This is a great first look at this alternative. I would never suggest people not taking the wonderful treatments of today, but do feel doctor's are remiss by not adding diet to their treatments and eliminating fats, sugars, and meats. I love them all, but try to eat them only in moderation. But if I had cancer, I'd be following this book to the hilt!

3.0 out of 5 stars Has Anyone Actually Read this Edition the The Cancer Prevention Diet?
Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2009
Since no one seems to be addressing this particular edition of this particular book, I don't feel out of line to post this non-review review.
I have read the positive and negative discussions regarding Macrobiotics, the Kushi's personal health, etc.
What I would like to know is: Has anyone actually read this edition of this book?
How does it compare to the original edition that came out many years ago?
Is there anything new?
Are there any changes?
Would I benefit from reading this new version? or is it just a new release of an old edition with a few pages of introduction to macrobiotics to new readers, as many of the other reprints of old macrobiotic books have been?
Macrobiotics is great. I have read many of the books. Anyone would benefit from adopting the principles of the macrobiotic way of life.
However, Amazon is a site for selling books (among other things) not debating the principles of Macrobiotics. Reviews are supposed to help other customers decide if they should buy this particular BOOK. What about this particular BOOK?

Feel free to comment. I will gladly delete this post if someone would just address THIS BOOK and stop hashing out the pros and cons of Macrobiotics, Macro-neurotics, prevention or cure, the Kushi's personal lives....

This is a good resource for prevention and people with cancer that offers general insight as well as nutritional guidelines. I saw an anterior version of the book at a Hastings for triple the price for a later reprint on amazon. Glad I did. This book is a great addition to my Health shelf.

Many cancer preventive factors have been found in foods. Dietary education for health is a traditional Japanese wisdom to get healthy long life. This book is written along the macrobiotics, and deals with case reports of spontaneous regression of cancer by macrobiotics.

I agree with the concept of macro diet. Eating Natural food instead of processed food is a great recommendation but I challenge the view of promoting one cultural staple diet i.e. Chinese vegetables over all other world vegetables of a similar kind. For instance, wild spinach is just as good as Koi etc.
