Has anyone ever heard of or tried macrobiotic diet?

Due to many health issues that I have been experiencing over the past year, that I believe are directly linked to mercury poisoning, I have found a homeopathic doctor. He is a strong believer in the macrobitic diet, which is traditionally a Japanese diet rich in vegetables and grains. (although I also have not stopped eating meat).

Using a measuring device to measure key points on my hands and feet he said that my liver was in a pretty bad shape, and that I have many fears and he was right on the spot in regards to many things he said..

So he suggested some teas and the diet which I have started almost a week ago. He claims that positive results will be experienced in 2-3 months, so I figured I have nothing to lose, and can perhaps help myself regain health after having it tortured with mercury for so long.

He said that all the problems I am experiencing are reversable, as far as the damage done to the organs. He did not go into "why" this happend, but rather what can be done to regain health..

Anyways, just wanted to hear some input on this subject.

Also, as a side note, I saw a foot bath detox device and was thinking of having a few treatments with this. I have to find out more about it and will let you know. I have heard about foot patches before, and this goes along the lines with it as far as I know.
