You Are All Sanpaku

Summary: The brown rice diet will change your life.
Review: After working with all the later books on macrobiotic health practices, I was fortunate to find a copy of George (Nyoti) Ohsawa's book "You are all Sanpaku." He convinced me of the need for the 10-day brown rice regime, and I began the fast gladly. (I had been dragging my feet in this area while learning to cook all over again.)

Health versus disease suddenly becomes very clear while turning the pages. If the Standard American Diet - of denatured, processed carbs, meats, and dairy, and foods which have been irridiated, microwaved, and stripped of nutrients - has not ruined your health yet, just wait. Most of us are sanpaku from birth. Once you know what to look for, you will see it in people everywhere. The chapter on sexual health is mind-boggling for all of us who have settled for ill-health.

We must start with physical health. Mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being will follow. We can take the necessary steps if we have the understanding. This book creates the understanding. Find out why we are all sanpaku.

Summary: The Best-seller that Introduced Macrobiotics in the '60s
Review: The long, fascinating introduction to this Macrobiotic classic was written by the translator, from French: William Dufty, in 1965. The book was originally published under George Ohsawa's Japanese name, by University Press, and has been reprinted by two publishers. It is by far the most readable introduction to Macrobiotics, and is far more accessible than Ohsawa's ZEN MACROBIOTICS, which appeared in its standard revised edition the same year. Dedicated and addressed to 35 named international celebrities, only a very few of whom are still alive in 1999, this was a prophetic book that remains more vital than ever, as the biological degeneration of humanity has accelerated in the last three and a half decades!

Summary: Read this 30 years ago and am buying it again.
Review: This is the 'bible' for symptoms of both good and bad health. I read this while working part-time in high school at a health food store, back when patrons were referred to as 'health-nuts'! I am longer in life now are returning to 'Oriental' medicine. This book will change your awareness of your health, if not your life.
