I remember him from his first books in the late ’60s. Along with co-writer Alex Jack he has updated this compendious, cancer prevention guide, first published 25 years ago. This edition includes up-to-date statistics and research while presenting the traditional macrobiotic way of life. Chapters on emotions and cancer and 100 new dishes and drinks are also contained, including a number of lighter recipes necessitated by a yangizing trend (heavier, busier and more stressful) in society. Macrobiotics, as Kushi explains, is based upon the concept of balancing yin and yang energy in all existence. The authors note that when the first edition was published, there was a conflict between holistic or natural and mainstream or allopathic therapies. At this time, they maintain, mainstream medicine has recognized the beneficial effects of the macrobiotic diet as it relates to cancer, while admitting its own failings in keeping the disease in check. (Kushi’s criticism of modern medicine and practices, notably scans and radiation, may still raise controversy.) Kushi writes that cancer prevention and treatment should begin in the kitchen, encompassing diet (with an emphasis on whole grains and vegetables) as well as environment, outlook and lifestyle. This remarkable book also has 17 current chapters on specific cancers.
