Hi,
I've been reading and practicing macrobiotics for about four months now. Most of my knowledge comes from a mixing pot of books and internet sites, including this insightful one. I'm however looking for information on macrobiotic centering diets. What I refer to is the regime macrobiotic practitioners will follow when they need to aggressively battle a serious health condition.
From studying the philosophy and principles, I realize that there's no textbook recipes for everyone to follow. I however suspect that I've missed out on some fundamental reading and guidelines because I've not seen this discussed with any detail beyond just alluding to it as a highly strict diet.
I've also not read anything about the 10 day grain fast, which supports my theory that I've missed a fundamental book or two.
Can someone tell me where these ideas are discussed?
In case it helps, books I've read: Zen Macrobiotics for Americans (by Roger Mason), Pocket Guide to Macrobiotics (by Carl Ferre), Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy (by Dirk Benedict), Changing Seasons Macrobiotic Cookbook (by Aveline Kushi and Wendy Esko), and Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics (by Jessica Porter).
Thanks for reading this; I appreciate any insight!
Damon
