Bøger af Edward Esko

In this groundbreaking book, one of the world's leading holistic educators introduces the concept of food as a manifestation of energy. He explains how plant foods, and especially cereal grains, represent crystalized sunlight and how the human body uses that energy to create mind and consciousness. He reveals how the awns, tiny hairlike antennae that project from each grain, channel energy from the cosmos and how grains store this energetic blueprint. He then elaborates on the concept of sentience, or the self-awareness possessed by animals, and how animal sentience negatively impacts the consciousness of those who depend upon animals as food. He includes a special chapter on the pineal gland, referred to as the third eye, and presents lifestyle and dietary guidelines for opening the spiritual vision located there. Subsequent chapters explain how the modern diet, based on animal products and processed food, contributes to depression, anxiety, diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, as well as increased susceptibility to emerging viruses. The book closes with a positive vision of a peaceful universe and healthy and sustainable future. Edward Esko is the founder of the International Macrobiotic Institute and the author of over a dozen books on holistic and natural diet, health, and lifestyle.

"Let food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be food."-HippocratesDuring the last half century, macrobiotics has been in the forefront of the health and diet revolution, serving as the catalyst for many of the dietary and lifestyle changes now circling the globe. Macrobiotics has introduced modern societies to organically grown whole foods and naturally processed foods, including brown rice, whole wheat, and other whole grains; miso, tofu, tempeh, and other tradi-tional soy products; a cornucopia of fresh garden vegetables; wakame, kombu, and other sea vegetables; and a variety of high-quality seasonings, condiments, and sugar- and dairy-free desserts and snacks. Macrobiotics has also popularized holistic health, self-healing, and alternative and complementary methods that are now embraced by millions of people and by the medical profession. "Macrobiotics" comes from makrobios, the Greek term for "Long Life" and "Great Life." Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, coined the word, and in the modern era it has been developed by Michio and Aveline Kushi and other educa-tors in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. By creating our minds and bodies from whole natural foods in a spirit of thank-fulness, we can contribute to personal health, social well being, and planetary health and peace. The benefits of a macrobiotic diet are widely recognized today, as the more than 100 scientific and medical studies and other accounts in this guide show.

In the ancient world, the complementary opposite energies of the cosmos were known as heaven's and earth's forces. Different cultures and civilizations knew these polarities under various names. In the Far East, they were called yin and yang. In this small book you will learn about the principle of complementary opposites and how to see life in terms of dynamic, flowing energy. Yin and Yang is your passport to a long, healthy life.

Macrobiotics spearheaded the natural foods movement, organic farming, and alternative and complementary medicine. Since then, nearly every country in the world has introduced dietary guidelines and food pyramids or other graphics promoting whole grains, soy products, fresh vegetables and fruits, and other plant-based foods. This book summarizes the key medical studies, scientific reports, and case histories on diet and heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and other disorders leading to this nutritional axis shift. Unfortunately, because of its bias against alternative medicine and holistic health, Wikipedia does not fairly represent macrobiotics and many other integrative approaches. The contents of this book were submitted to Wikipedia but immediately rejected as fringe, although they summarized scores of peer-reviewed scientific studies. Hence, this book is being published and we are creating our own web site Makropedia.com as the Encyclopedia of Diet and Health.
