What is the macrobiotics diet # 7 |
No other natural health and treatment method has been met with
either passionate embrace or fierce opposition than
macrobiotics, especially the macrobiotic diet #7.
Diet #7 recommends eating only brown rice with a little sesame
salt (sesame salt is called Gomashio in Japanese) for a period
of days and sometimes weeks. This is supposed to help cleanse
the body of accumulated toxins. But is this reasonable?
Especially in our modern highly polluted world with so many
illnesses.

Does the macrobiotic diet #7 help? |
Diet #7 does not cure any illness especially infections.
Can you imagine what would happen to a typhoid or herpes patient
if he/she follows diet #7? The patient's condition will
deteriorate on the number 7 diet. We have had many consultations
with patients who followed the #7 diet prior to consulting with
us. The condition of these patients either did not improve or
got worse on the #7 diet.

Disadvantages of the macrobiotic diet #7 |
Eating only brown rice for days or weeks is boring and the
patient who goes on this diet goes through a period of binging
following the period of this brown rice fast. This causes their
condition to sometimes deteriorate. This is the reason why most
people who tried the #7 diet left macrobiotics altogether out of
frustration and despair, thinking that macrobiotics will not
work for them. But the truth of the matter is that their choice
of foods was not the right one for their condition.

George Ohsawa and the macrobiotic diet #7 |
George Ohsawa himself, who devised the diet #7, advised against
going on this diet later on in his life. He said later that no
one can live in this modern life without vegetables because life
now is too polluted on every level.
