I've put off writing this post for the longest time...sometime old patterns are hard to kick off. The pattern I have is of putting things off till they are perfect. like I wanted the perfect backdrop to my blog page, before I wrote. However, my story (I believe) is just too good to be true to keep away from the World. Therefore, I don't know the Uneverse I send this out to, but its the Universe that has supported me with my mission, therefore I know it will come back to me in many ways (more than I can imagine at present).
My life with MACROBIOTICS started with my father having cancer (Prostate). At the time, I got introduced to the approach by my father's friend (Poornima Hemmadi) who had already written to Denny Waxman to enquire about the approach. Since she said she was not going to start the diet, she suggessted I look it up anyway. I did and was led by Denny to Mona Schwartz. Mona (originally from America) was in Dehradun. My dad's PSA levels were rising fast and after being on Flutamide (Hormone) the cancer had started actually thriving on the hormone itself, so at this point I had to think fast. His cancer was already in every concieveable bone in his body, so according to the docs there was not much we could do.
Well after speaking with Mona, my mom, dad and myself landed up at her place to spend 10 days learning how to cook and feed my dad. At this point, I was in the Market Research field (professionally) and very passionate about cooking and health food. So Mona's library of books on Macrobiotics were a treat. I sat for hours reading in her library and the approach made such perfect sense. It was hard to believe the number of cases documented and how MACROBIOTCS had helped. Infact, Mona herself had come out of an unexplained illness with MACROBIOTICS.
Well Mom and me as well equipped as we could be returned to Mumbai to start our program with my dad....
