Summary: 



I think Brint Cooper misses the intent of my article on the macrobiotic
diet.  I did not claim that the macrobiotic diet cured or prevented
cancer.  I am aware that there is no scientific evidence that macrobiotics
cures cancer.

I just wanted to share information about the diet with others
in this newsgroup and since the subject was *Unconventional Cancer
Therapies* it seemed OK to present information on a method that wasn't
scientifically proven.

I am not an authority on either macrobiotics or allopathic medicine.
The sole purpose of the article was to expose people to other methods
of treating/preventing cancer, so that maybe someone would do some
scientific research on this diet.

Macrobiotics makes a lot of sense to me and the number of people
cured of their degenerative diseases after going on the diet seems
more than mere coincidence.
