I am following a macrobiotic diet and am a recent cancer surviivor.

I have a new web series called "Kick Cancer in the Can" with Diane

Check out "kick Cancer in the Can" with Diane on You Tube!

selatik1  you are the one that is WACKOO

[f7lool]

he is not a teacher BUT a master ..

[selatik1]

Coenzyme: You are wrong on every count. You are parroting arguments that have long since been invalidated. You are naive. You sound like me when I was starving myself to death at age 20.

[fluoridemakesudumb]

not trying to argue but people eat more meat now than 100 years ago. industrialization, modern transport, grains have made this possible.

and 100 years ago, the animals were grass fed and had fewer saturated fats and cholesterol in them.

i agree with you on refined foods.

peace.

[selatik1]

There's deep bias against sat. fats/cholesterol based on lies; it's an artificially-created bias promoted by the vegetable oil and soyfood industries, who directly profit from people's fear of saturated fat and cholesterol.

No proof exists that saturated fat/cholesterol are harmful.

Every industry has its lobbyists; if you think that King Corn and Archer-Daniels Midland have no pull with the Feds, think again. Macros/vegans have strange bedfellows regarding their position on fat.

[selatik1]

And I don't advocate the Adkins diet. It's another extreme. Why are Americans so attracted to extreme diets? In my view the macro and Adkins diets are both unbalanced.

[fluoridemakesudumb]

here, the people get their info from the media which changes it's tune per market performances and people are constantly having a yo - yo battle over their willpower and cravings which stem directly from their emotional vulnerability.

justa while there was the hoodia craze.

problem is, people just can't control their portion sizes and i think it's because of the artificial stuff. my fav. soup brand & flavor became less palatable after they disc. use of MSG in it. go figure.

[selatik1]

The thing is, I am not saying one needs meat, but still the entire premise that saturated fats and cholesterol are bad for us is utterly groundless. Really. If there weren't billions to be made from vegetable oil, soyfoods and margarine, we would have never heard anything bad about butter and eggs.

And consider this: how much butter, lard, cream, etc can one actually eat before gagging?Old fashion fats quickly trigger satiety signals in our brain once we've eaten an appropriate amount.

[selatik1]

On the other hand, refined carbs like white sugar and white flour have been purified, which makes it very easy to over-consume them. All the natural fiber and moisture that was in the plants these carbs came from -- which help prevent a person from over-eating them -- have been removed. Normal satiety signals are less likely to be triggered, thus leading to overconsumption. What does the body do with excess carbs? Stores them as fat!

[selatik1]

This is a major reason for obesity: lack of old-fasioned fats which quickly satisfy hunger and too many empty carbs that are easily overconsumed and turn to fat.

Kush is selling the fermenta product because the macrobiotic diet is extremeley hard on the digestive system.

Kushi uses his "authority" to market products. The reason why seaweeds -can be from anywhere in the world while advocating the rest of the macro diet be local, is because Kushi owns a sea- vegetable business (or did).

[fluoridemakesudumb]

agree on all of your points.

but just to let you know, stage 3 cancer patients using kushi's macrobiotics have seen a regression from their cancer and in many documented cases, it has been superior to chemotherapy and surgery even.

so while i totally agree with you on your points of moderation, satiety brought on by traditional fats,bad effects of refined products, i disagree wholeheartedly on your criticisms of the macro diet.

[selatik1]

Dunnae dew it, laddie! Warp powah is down by 55 paercent!

Macrobiotics may have less toxins than the standard America Diet, but for ongoing purposes, and especially for growing children and working people, macro is wacko,

[selatik1]

People in western countries are not fat and unhealthy because of meat. Obesity wasn't epidemic 100 years ago, and people ate even more animal-source foods than they do now. It is the increased consumption of sugar, refined starches, refined vegetable oils, and chemical-laden, over-processed and improperly prepared commercial foods that are destroying health.

I met the grown son of one of the most famous vegan advocates in the world. at 22, the son looked like he hadn't gone through puberty.

[Coenzyme911]

Your lying disinfo - People did NOT eat more animal products 100 years ago!

Meat acidifies the blood. It has no fiber. It has the wrong fat and a lot of it.

"In his new book, Dr Atkins admitted that the Ornish and MacDougall (low fat plans) were advantageous but stated that he felt they were too difficult to follow"

Atkins is dead you fool. (and he was FAT)

[AndrewTheEmperor]

FEED ME!!! THIS IS GOD TALKING

[selatik1]

And no wonder Kushi is hawking his "fermentation" whatever it is... the macrobiotic diet is extremely harsh on the digestive system!

[selatik1]

And honestly, who the heck can understand his rambling obfuscations?

[selatik1]

This fellow is completely wrong. I used to believe in him.

[Marticoka]

why do you say so?

[selatik1]

Well, Kushi's not totally wrong, but certainly Kushi is to say that humans should center eat mainly grains, vegetables and beans. This diet, which is similar to veganism, lacks several essential nutrients which only occur in foods of animal origin--namely vitamins A, D, & B12.

The various carotenoids found in plant foods do not equate with vitamin A or retinol, and many people -- infants, children, diabetics and others -- cannot convert carotenes into vitamin A very well or at all.

[selatik1]

While vitamin D can be obtained from sunlight, it can be difficult to do so, due to decreasing levels of vitamin D-producing Ulta-Violet-B radiation the farther away one lives from the equator. Ones ability to obtain vitamin D solely from sunlight depends on many factors, including latitude, skin pigmentation and willingness to go nude for up to a few hours per day.

Vitamins A & D--and the animal fats that they are found in-- are essential for the proper absorption of protein and minerals.

[selatik1]

As for B12, vegan advocates have recently retracted their claim that various plant foods such as spirulina, fermented soy-foods and seaweeds contain usable B12. These foods actually contain B12 analogs or "cobamides" which are not real B12. These impostor cobamides can interfere with the absorbtion of true B12.

And to make a bad diet worse, pure vegetarian regimens such as veganism and macrobiotics are typically loaded with natural compounds which strogly interfere with nutrient utilization.

[selatik1]

For example, in beans, nuts, seeds & grains (foods that will sprout) there are naturally occurring "enzyme inhibitors" designed by nature to prevent seeds, beans, etc. from decomposing during the dry season so they will last until the wet season when rain allows them to germinate.

2 enzyme inhibitors found in beans, seeds, nuts & grains are "protease inhibitor" (blocks the action of protein-digesting enzymes) & "amylase inhibitor" (blocks the action of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes).

[selatik1]

Normal cooking & food-procesing methods do not completely deactivate protease/amylase inhibitors, so regular consumption of beans/soyfoods, nuts, seeds & grains means ingesting considerable amounts of these inhibitors, which fight digestive enzymes whhich digest protein & carbs. This can lead to protein deficiencies & pancreatic disorders.

Seeds, beans, soyfoods, nuts & grains also contain phytic acid, which interferes with the absorption of key minerals such as zinc, calcium and iron.

[selatik1]

Protease inhibitors, amylase inhibitors and phytic acid are deactivated if you soak the beans, nuts, seed, or grains in water overnight, then rinse with fresh water before eating or cooking.

On a personal level, Kushi himself has admitted that he rarely has ever followed his own diet advice, and I have spoken with several people over the years who have interacted with Kushi and who have witnessed him eating food items decidedly NOT on the macrobiotic menu.

[selatik1]

Whoops-- I was editing heavily while I wrote the first comment in this series, and botched the the grammar. What I meant to write is: ... certainly Kushi is wrong to say that humans should eat mainly grains, vegetables and beans....

[Coenzyme911]

Your an idiot. (sorry)

"This diet...lacks several essential nutrients which only occur in foods of animal origin--namely vitamins A, D, & B12."

Vitamin A from carotenoids (show studies were it is proven they cannot be absorbed)- Vitamin D from sunlight and B12 from fish (Yes, fish is included in macrobiotics)

"Vitamins A & D--and the animal fats that they are found in-- are essential for the proper absorption of protein and minerals."

Animal fats are absolute junk.

[Coenzyme911]

Also, macrobiotics are possibly the only diet scientifically proven to allow the body to heal from multiple diseases.

[selatik1]

hey Mr Q10: No, I'm not an idiot. It's a well-known fact (outside of macrobiotic & vegan circles) that not everyone can convert carotenes into retinol or vitamin A, particularly babies, children, and adults with certain health problems such as diabetes.

While vitamin D can b obtained by UV-B sunlight, it can b difficult to get enough exposure, particularly in the colder, more northern latitudes.

Fish may be included in macrobiotics, but the whacko-macros council, "on occasion, if desired".

[selatik1]

Animal fats are not junk. They have nourished and sustained humanity for 1000's of years. If there was something inherently wrong with animal fats, they simply would not be ubiquitous in the human food supply.

The entire premise that animal fats are bad for human beings has been promulgated largely by the vegetable oil and soyfood industries for the express purpose of promoting their nutrient-deficient products.

It is the macrobiotic "philosophy" that is absolute junk.

[Coenzyme911]

...not only are you clueless about macrobiotics, you are also clueless about the very basics of nutrition... the simple fact that animal fats are high in cholesterol makes them one of the worst foods that you could ever put in your body...you just confirmed my initial preconception - yes, you are.(sorry)

[selatik1]

Coenzyme: the entire premise that cholesterol is bad is a huge lie. It's a lie that has been promoted for 50 years by the vegetable oil industries (and more recently also the soy-food industry) in order to sell greater tonnages of their worthless products. Bllions have been spent to condition the public, government and diseasestablishment into believing the anti-cholesterol/saturated fat claptrap. It is you who have been misled.

[selatik1]

I've nearly starved to death n vegan/macro diets. At the worst, I shrunk to 145 lbs. That's bad because I'm a 6'6" guy. Imagine singer Trace Adkins or Michael Jordan--both the same height--weighing 145 lbs. Scary huh?

My family pleaded with me to at least eat some eggs or cheese if I was against eating meat. I refused, invoking the same heavily-promoted lies you do.

Fortunately, I began to trust my intuition and ditched the macro-diet. My weight rose to 170 within weeks, & I felt better.

[selatik1]

I trusted the macros with my life, and they betrayed me. Of course, macro advice sounds so wonderful on paper; there are many gifted writers in the macrobiotic realm. But poetry and philosophy are not reality, and I found out the hard way that macro folks tend to have their heads up their butts more or less permanently.

Kushi rarely if ever has followed his own advice -- he's even admitted as much. That's because the macrobiotic diet is a very poor diet deficient in several nutrients.

[Coenzyme911]

Unbelievable!

1- The meat lobby is much more powerful than the "vegetable oil"-whatever.

2- cholesterol/animal fats/proteins is the reason americans why americans have the highest incidence of cancer and cardiovascular disease (Mcdonnal´s does not sell beans, it sells animal fats)

3- I cannot believe you. Macrobiotics has better carbs, proteins, vitamins and minerals. In fact, it is scientifically sound to provide all of them in the best possible form.

[Coenzyme911]

HUMANS DO NOT NEED ANIMAL PRODUCTS AT ALL IN THEIR DIETS!

Animal proteins are much worst than fish or bean proteins.

Look at the population of western countries, where meat and is endemic - FAT, UNHEALTHY.

Do your homework if you care about top health. I rest my case.

[selatik1]

Coenzyme: They got you brainwashed good, I see. If you think that ADM or King Corn don't have any clout with the government, you are seriously naive. And did you ever stop to consider that if the meat industry is so all-powerful, why does the government officially warn the public against animal fats as being bad? If the beef industry has so much pull, you'd think that they'd see to it that ANY negative information about meat or its components would never be issued by the government.

[selatik1]

There is no conclusive evidence to support the idea that cholesterol and animal fats contribute to any disease. That's how big the lies you have swallowed are.

The macro diet is full of naturally-occurring compounds which impair proper nutrient absorption. Protease inhibitors, found in various amounts in soy-foods, nuts, beans & seeds, interfere with the utilization of protein. Phytic acid, occurring in same foods, interferes with the absorption of key minerals such as zinc, calcium and iron.

[selatik1]

The macro diet may seem nutritous, but many of its meager array of nutrients can be hard to absorb with the protease inhibitor and phytic acid naturally present in them.

Aother setback of macro-diets is that protein and minerals require the presence of fat soluble vitamins A & D as well as fat. Guess where vitamins A and D come from? Animal fats!

Every early explorer who visited primitive hunter/gatherer groups and traditional societies noted that animal foods were always used. No vegans!

[Coenzyme911]

Your a televised kid spamming obscenities with no truth whatsoever.

1 "Blá blá king corn government" One-third of all fossil fuels produced in the US are used to raise animals for food

2 -If you would restrict your diet to any particular food group, the one that would kill you faster would be meat.

3 - by fomenting the ambience of a slaughter house, you are carving your own destiny - Those who kill by the sword, die by it.

4- Pre historic humans died EARLY.

[Coenzyme911]

5- Macrobiotics is perfect. Multiple documented cases of people with cancer and other illnesses got saved by it. Societies who eat grains, beans, vegetables, fruits and fish LIVE THE LONGEST AND HEALTHIEST!

[4929Spaceship]

If it wasn't for him coming to America...a good friend would have died a long time ago (in 1984) instead of recently. Yes, true macro is hard. Once you are sick, you must stay with veg and whole grains...and it is hard :(

[sexiidude92]

michio kushi is an alien hybrid! a good1 here 2benefit humanity!

[r3t4y5]

Most of the 'human'specie are alien hybrids. Junk DNA is alien. Most people just dont know they are and that is how they can be controlled.

The personality is nothing but an illusion of the mind.

Humans are supposed to be mammals but still they have part of a reptile brain.

The truth is not out there, its INSIDE.

***** 5 Stars for Master Kushi.

[AmadeuShinChan]

Thanks myoumtube, and of course thanks to Mr. Michio Kushi too!

How can someone get Fermena over Austria (Europe)?

[AmadeuShinChan]

What is it at 1.54 min? Fermena i would like to... what!? I don' t understand.

Kind regards,

Amadeus

[diamondtreeglobal]

He says" Fermena I would like to highly recommend to everyone..."

You are right it is difficult to sometimes understand his English but the heart is there and frankly if my Japanese was half as good as his English, I would be very happy. Oh well , for me more practice. For Dr Michio Kushi - Bless you, sir, for bringing such wonderful products into this world!

[selatik1]

@diamondtreeglobal But think about it folks, what is Kushi really doing here (besides trying to make a buck)? He's saying, in essence, that the macrobiotic diet is hard to digest (which it is). Google "phytic acid" and "enzyme inhibitors" that naturally occur in whole grains, beans, soy-foods, nuts and seeds. Once one understands that such compounds are abundant in these food groups, one may begin to grasp harsh the macrobiotic diet, as advocated by Mr. Kushi, actually is. Just sayin'...

[cnewburgh]

Dr. Kushi "highly recommends Femena to everyone, that's it, I hope you use it"

[myoumtube]

Amazing, I want more videos for Mr.Michio Kushi please, thank you.

[mrspaceman2000]

There are many shallow teachings on youtube. We love you.
