Hi Mara.
Hi Mara. True health means no unhappiness, no desensitivity or over sensitivity, nor physical or mental disease. You are right this is rare in modern society among people. However, among wild animals and "lower" creatures, macrobiotic is commonplace. You see they are eating according to season, environmental availability and according to
evolution and ability. We you try to look though the eyes of the wilderness you can
get a glimpse of this primitive vision.
The main difference between us and lower animal
forms is that we have the ability of making greater changes. They have more limitations,
like not being able to make fire to cook, or heat with, or make clothing or efficient shelters to protect them, etc.
Our choices appear to be limitless. It therefore doesn’t make
much sense to me when someone says “I can’t”, because of all the options we have
at hand. We can change where we live, change our clothes, out weight, our attitudes and outlooks, our religions, our hair, eating and cooking habits, lifestyles…
Regarding the bladderwrak, you can use the powder from the same way as the other. I
Would mix it with bancha or kukicha and add a small amount of chopped parsley and
Bring to a boil, then simmer ten minutes. I think this would work well and taste better than plain boiled seaweed.
Regarding the CFS and the fruit of lychee. I think maybe too yin so better to use burdock root, dandelion root, or reishi mushroom tea. Pau d'arco and astragulus root would also be helpful. Many of our disorders stem from a weak immune system. Astragulus helps to strengthen the immune system.
I hope this helps.
In peace, Roy
