I wondered if anyone here has tried this diet for detoxification? It is supposed to take about two years of a strict macrobiotic diet to detox all of the toxins then you can be more lenient.

The principle behind a MD, is that if we eat foods which are balanced and cut out extremes of the yin yang scale, which are substances that are too expansive or too contracting for example, expansive ones are, raw fruit and sugar, whilst contracting ones are meat and eggs, the balanced ones being 60 % of the meal, whole grains especially rice, most vegetables excluding the nightshade family, small amounts of beans and sea vegetables, then our bodies will discharge.

I tried it when I was very sick indeed. After a couple of months I had a discharge and it was amazing. Normally I do not sweat, but there was loads of gunk oozing out of my armpits and I felt terrible for a few days. There was a remarkable improvement and I have never got so ill again. it lifted me up from a really bad state. I continued but did not get a major discharge again. I don't know if it was because I was not strict enough after that, (I did ease a little) or for some other reason. I did lose too much weight and lost my appetite though and went yellow. This could have been due to the seaweed sending my thyroid into over drive or maybe toxins became too high with the weight loss and not sufficient discharge.

I found it too hard to follow eventually and was concerned about my weight, but others have healed themselves like this and had to lose a lot of weight first but eventually put it on when they recovered.

It does take a lot of preparation and thinking ahead but you get used to it. it is also cheap as you are not using any supplements or anything else relying ion the food alone.

I had to be very strict as i had a major problem with Candida so there were no ferments which made the diet more boring, but generally, i felt amazing on the diet, really balanced and clean inside. I got to love certain things like millet and nori (seaweed).

It is important that you chew everything really well, and not drink too much or use to much tamari/soy sauce and everything must be organic. Some of the remedies are excellent and i still use them. There is a cure for appendicittis that i used when I got the symptoms. It is not to eat for a few days, rest, and make a tofu poultice and keep it over the area. It worked.

I might think about trying it again after the amalgams are out before I try other means of chelation.
