A WONDERFUL BOOK

This is a wonderful book and should be read by anyone who is serious about implementing an alternative in curing cancer and/or anyone who wants to prevent cancer. The reader/critic (below) who trashes this book would do well to re-read it. Unfortunately, it is only a testimonial and doesn't prove that macrobiotics is THE cure. Nevertheless, with the suggestive evidence given by Dr. Sattilaro, the AMA and its cohorts would do well to subject macrobiotics to the usual double blind placebo controlled studies. Will they? Of course not. Too much ego and money are involved. Also, macrobiotics is "too hard" and environmentally friendly for our hedonistic, food addicted culture to embrace on any significant scale. In the end, we get what we ask for . . . degenerative disease, poisonous drugs, rich arrogant doctors whom we place on a pedestal, helpless terrified livestock, and an environment which is fast falling apart. Shame on all of us.By the way, Dr. Sattilaro did ultimately die of cancer (more than 10 years after remission) when he abandoned macrobiotics and went back to gourmet eating. So it goes.

A Life Saver

My father was diagnosed with cancer and given six months to live. This book became a bible of sorts. My father changed his diet and followed other guidelines found in this book. After five months the cancer was completely gone and he's been cancer free for 17 years now. This book was primarily important for it's underlying mesage that "You Can Beat cancer" and my dad is proof.

Recommended Reading

I have read both books "Recalled to Life" and "Living Well Naturally" (which contains recipes) written by Dr. Sattilaro. Dr. Sattilaro evoked a complete life change, spiritual, dietary as well as physical, after meeting some young men in a very unusual way who persuaded him to pursue a macrobiotic diet.Its true that Dr. Sattilaro died a number of years after he was told he was going to die but not because of a change of diet as reported by many vegetarians. He actually was having a great deal of pain in his hands which was believed to have come from a previous medical treatment. It was believed that this pain was brought about by a lack of testostrone and he was injected with same which caused the cancer to flair.I actually spoke to doctors who knew Dr. Sattilaro prior to his death. It was they who related this story to me.I highly recommend this book as required reading for those newly diagnosed with cancer(particularly prostate cancer) as well as those who have friends or relatives that have been diagnosed with this disease. The Doctor's approach may not be for everyone but it has worked for many and may be coupled with conventional treatment.

Conventional doctor meets life saving alternative

For years cancer patients and fans of alternative healing have shared this book with each other. That is how I was introduced. Mercifully I am not a cancer patient and as a chiropractor I am not legally able to treat cancer or advise patients on teatment other than to point out the obvious. (That is still legal, thank God.) People are free to take control of their own treatment and there are effective alternatives. This book is an excellent starting point for any one who has cancer, has a friend or family member with cancer or who whishes to prevent cancer (that should include pretty much the whole squad!) The story follows an M.D. who is very much instilled with the standard medical philosophy of healing as he makes a complete 180 degree turnaround in his basic belief system, which saves his life. Feel free to e-mail me for more info or insight. There are definitely two very different approaches to dealing with disease in the US today. Conventional cancer therapy, sometimes refered to as cut burn and poison, verses diet, herbs, vitamins and healing energy.

REBUTTAL TO A PREVIOUS REVIEW

Anthony J. Sattilaro did die, of his cancer, I understand. But it was due to a change of his diet, away from a strict macrobiotic diet that had previously cured his cancer. This book is very good and should be read by anyone who has a serious health problem, especially cancer. Then go on to other sources to learn how to implement the macrobiotic diet.
