He applies the macrobiotic ideas to today's living, and provides examples so that one learns that cleanliness and order for example, will promote the free flow of vital energy in a home. This is really a guide to macrobiotic thinking. Delightful that it is in print, it should be made available in softcover.

Although women experience "the curse" from their early teenage years until their early fifties, most of us don't discuss it in depth . . . and certainly don't write or read short stories and poetry about the subject!

I am past menopause and who would have guessed that this book would actually make me nostalgic for that significant part of my younger years.

Ok so this book says the TM movement was bogus, SunRider Products are a sham, Food Combining was disproved in the 1930's yet we still hear about it (Fit for Life, Anthony Robbins Nutrition CDs) Detoxification - that's B.S. too - your colon and mine are pretty clean no matter what we do so skip the enemas, and if you're sick, you're probably sick, it's not your body detox'n, go get some drugs that'll make you feel better and in 10 days it'll be gone. Bottom line is we want to feel like we can make a difference or make outselves younger - you can't do it, there's 5 reason why we die, only 2 we can do anything about - nutrition & exercise. Bottom line on this book is eat good wholesome food (yep - the food pyramid works still) and exercise but don't do anything in the extreme as it won't make any difference.
