I found this book very insightful about macrobiotic diet and it’s health benefits. The author was a MD and cancer survivor (then). The detailed account of his experience and journey to recovery were compelling.

This book is very inspirational for cancer patients to read. Unfortunately, the medical science is not doing very well to cure many diseases, especially cancers. The author survived from multiple metastasis in his body by macrobiotic diet but he did not keep eating what he was taught. He would have been still alive if he kept it up. I recommend this book for healthy people to read too.

Fabulous autobiographical story about a Philadelphia physician and hospital administrator who has metastatic prostate cancer. One day, feeling hopeless, and resigned to an early and painful death, he picks up some hitchikers. They ask him why he is so depressed, and upon hearing about his condition, they pronounce it not so difficult to cure. Of course, the Dr. is very skeptical, but he agrees to meet their friends and so is introduced to macrobiotics. The book is about Dr. Sattilaro's healing journey and how his new macrobiotic food and friends help him return to good health and give him back his life.To Dr. Sattilaro's surprise, the life to which he returns is much richer and filled with infinite gratitude.
A great read. Highly recommended.

I read this book long ago, and just passed a copy to a friend in need. I remember being impressed by the fact that the doctor's various cancers all went away as long as he stayed on his strict macrobiotic diet. The diet, at least, probably made him healthier as he was combating his cancers, thereby giving him hope, and also perhaps energizing his immune system. Who knows what exactly went on? The fact remains that he survived as long as he was on the diet. The book is easy to read, personal, and touching. Anyone with cancer not responding to traditional medicine should read it. Hopefully their body will respond as Doctor Sattilaro's did.

I have often bought this book to share with friends who have or have a family member with cancer. Very hopeful book. Proves that "we are what we eat." And it's hopeful inasmuch as it encourages cancer victims to take control of their diet. I'm astounded by folks who don't/won't even try it! Buy it, read it and tuck it into your book shelf for giving later...I think it's out of print...but I could be wrong.

This doctor and hospital CEO had advanced prostate cancer. When he stumbled upon macrobiotics, he didn't close the door. He learned about it and practiced it, to his benefit, but always remained in part a doubter about it. I gave it a 4, not a 5, because it was a little frustrating to read. He didn't seem to know how to lighten up and be joyful. On the other hand, he played a major role in spreading knowledge of and research about macrobiotics. I think it's very worth reading, but not as delightful and inspiring as My Beautiful Life by Mina Dobic.

Such an amazing real life story with a miraculous ending. I bought this book so many years ago and lent it out one too many times and didn’t get it back. I was so happy to find it on Amazon and it had the same impact on me as when I first read it!

Provides insight on the benefits of ditching your current diet to a more healthy one in order to prevent disease. This is by a doctor who was near end of life and made strict dietary changes to reclaim his health. Its like quitting smoking, you don't really want to do it and it takes mental toughness but if you are motivated you can become healthier.

5.0 out of 5 stars It worked for me!!!!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 7, 2012

I read this book last year and adopted a Macro Biotic diet to help control my Proctities (inflammatory bowel)and it worked at the time. Longterm, I changed my life style and my diet which is still based on a Macro biotic diet and I'm keeping my proctities at bay. One thing I'm sure of is diet and stress are the causes of illness. Hospitals and doctors do not make that link so it was this that Dr Skitilaro discovered. I enjoyed the book, in fact I thought it was a great read.
Yes he died but he got another ten years of healthy living before he died of a heart attack.
If you are interested in the subject of diet and how it effects our health try 'The China study' by Colin Campbell. It's an eye opener and a great read.
