What most doctors and most people don’t understand, is that the human body is a healing machine. It heals when it’s in balance, and not in emergency mode. So, by avoiding extreme contracting (yang) and expanding (yin) foods, and promoting good circulation and recharging through proper movement and rest, we heal. The worse the condition, the longer healing time is necessary. But most everything can be healed in a matter of a few weeks or months. Want more information? Google “Macrobiotics”
