Food is always best medicine. Find out how.

We are health consultants. We are NOT in the marketing business for any drug or health food product or herbal formula or natural supplement because we believe that:

Food is always best medicine

We provide consultations for people who want to cure their illness with the right foods and diet. No chemical drugs or expensive and dangerous surgeries, not even herbal concoctions. Just the right foods will cure most illnesses.

I am an American nutrition and health consultant living abroad in Damascus, Syria and throughout the middle east. Most people who come to me for advice have a specific illness and want to learn how to cure their illness with food and diet rather than expensive chemical drugs. They want to know which foods to avoid and which foods to eat in order to treat and cure their current health condition.

I offer each client a diet plan that suits their health condition. People come to me personally or through the internet. I have had patients from 35 different countries. I also lecture on health, macrobiotics and nutrition. I have authored two books (food is medicine, your kitchen is your pharmacy) and about 15 articles on this subject. I have made numerous TV appearances on 5 satellite channels and was featured in a 13-part television program called food is medicine on HEYA TV in Beirut, Lebanon. I am also featured in a health and macrobiotic web site in England,

I do not always use the term macrobiotics when I talk about food and medicine. More importantly, I do not consider myself a follower of any one person or any one creed. As is mentioned in ancient literature:

The truth is one. The sages speak of it by many names.

I have always tried to provide a practical scientific comprehensible approach to macrobiotics, rather than an emotional or vaguely mystical one. I have also avoided the idea that macrobiotics means necessarily eating Japanese foods like miso, umeboshi or kuzu. These foods are too strange and too expensive to most suffering local patients anywhere.

Many severe illnesses like tuberculosis, gangrene, constipation, typhoid, ulcerative colitis and many forms of cancer have been cured using carefully selected, simple, inexpensive local foods. Most of the time without any food supplements like vitamins and mineral.

Lastly, many people tried macrobiotics but abandoned it because they did not get quick positive results. My experience tells me that these people did not get good results because they started with the wrong foods.

Example:

If a tuberculosis patient starts with pumpkins, brown rice and barley miso (all considered good macrobiotic foods) his condition will get worse rather than better. Tuberculosis is an extremely yin illness and none of these foods is yang. It is the same with all illnesses. Each health condition requires a specific diet.

The standard macrobiotic diet is general and does work not for everyone. Your own health condition might require you to make more research, or seek professional guidance like the people who came to us, into what foods are currently right for you.

Example: if you have Arthritis, some forms of cancer, gangrene or constipation some of the foods in the standard macrobiotic diet might be harmful for you (i.e., carrots will make your condition worse if you suffer from chronic or severe constipation).

When my own health broke down a few years ago, I tried orthodox medicine. I was deeply disappointed. I began searching for alternatives and found a wealth of information in macrobiotics and other "food is best medicine" approaches. I was also surprised to find out that there have been a multitude of people who have gone down this road, including world renowned doctors like Henry G. Bieler, Herbert Ratner, Oliver Wendel Holmes, and Bernard Jensen.
