Here is the introduction from my latest book I have been working on for the past year. If you would like the first chapter, fill-out my online form to submit your contact information.
Healthy food has given me a life of well-being without ever needing a medical doctor. The older I get, the more I appreciate the lasting wellness and energy that come with sound food habits. Unlike most people I meet, I have no need for caffeine to wake up in the morning nor sweets for an energy boost to raise low blood sugar. Wherever I can, I glean new knowledge about food. I want to know more and more, since people often seek my nutritional advice. It gladdens me to get the positive feedback from all over the world.
After their own self-healing successes, people sometimes even set me up with great connections to the media or authorities to reach out to bigger audiences. Once I got an interview with Austrian radio ORF. As often happens, the subject of food and health caught the full attention of the listeners. The journalist I spoke with told me afterwards that ORF never had received so many telephone calls after a program as after my interview. I appeared on Norwegian television to discuss how food fights cancer. After the program so many people called the studio wanting to know more that all telephone lines were blocked. I also held a day-seminar on the subject of food and health at the invitation of the Ministry of Health in Bangkok, Thailand. During the discussions several government officials confirmed my claim that many people eat themselves into illness.
This book is about food and its key role in maintaining wellbeing. There are other influences on health to be sure, but aside from the air we breathe, food represents our most intimate contact with the environment and provides the basic sustenance of life. Every day we choose our food, whereas other health factors often lie beyond our immediate control. We need to know which foods help us stay healthy and which ones do not.
Food can be either a powerful healer or an awesome undoer of health, depending on whether we choose our daily nourishment wisely or eat according to old habits and whims. While most people do not eat for health, those who do so give themselves better life quality with both greater physical energy and mental clarity. With all the conflicting nutritional theories around, the key hurdle is to find out what healthy food means exactly. It can take a long time to find this out. Now I want to share with my readers the insight from my long-time experience. I hope that my book helps you to understand better this important, but confusing subject.

Hej Steven
Du är alltid lika inspirerande och trygg i det du förmedlar.
Brukar lyssna på dina föredrag när du är i stockholm.
Givetvis längtar jag efter din bok som ett stöd i att sprida dina ord.

Steve, we met in Monmouth, OR around 1974. In 1976 – 1977 I studied in Munich and visited you in Hamburg during the spring of 1977. It pleases me greatly that your interest in nutrition and healthy food has flourished and that you share your knowledge with those who want to improve their health.
Send me an e-mail if you feel so inclined. Perhaps we could get together the next time you visit Germany.

Hi, Steven! It’s been about 15 years since you lectured at the Shelburne-Murry Hill Hotel NYC (sponsored by the New York City Community Teaching Center. Deborah and I have good memories of your enjoyment of the Angelica Macrobiotic Restaurant (NYC) we took you to dinner at.
So happy to hear you have a new book out and would love to receive the first chapter.
God bless and always Victory (in good health), Holliday Hooks (and Deborah Bennett Lynch)

Lieber Stephen Acuff,
jedes Jahr kommen Sie im September oder Oktober in die Schleusen Apotheke nach Oranienburg.Auch wenn wir nur eine kleine Gemeinschaft sind, verbreitet sich Ihr Wissen schnell.Abgesehen von den grundlegenden Wahrheiten, die Sie vermitteln haben Sie auch viel Humor. Die Vorträge sind lustig und bleiben im Gedächtnis. Mit Ihrem Wissen haben wir unser Leben verändert und sind weitestgehend gesund.Wir möchten diesen Zustand nicht mehr missen und auch nicht die Gemüsesuppe mit Miso und Algen, die wir jeden Morgen essen.
Wir möchten Ihnen von ganzem Herzen danke sagen.
Viele Grüße von Dagmar und Wolfgang Munkwitz

Steve, I just played your audiotape “Healing with the Wood Element” from 1995. I know you’ve evolved since then but the basics are there. And it was good to hear your voice. Can’t wait – when is the book coming out?
Missing you in Montana, come on out again!

Bäste Steven
Jag och Kajsa håller på och sammanställer dvd:erna nu, det ser mycket bra ut. Har en fundering på att filma dig på engelska. När skulle det passa dig?
Och så en fråga: ALS, på vilket sätt kan man genom att äta rätt stanna upp förloppet, har du några idéer.
Vi ses i september,

Hi Steven,
just returned from the Spinkhill Camp, with my daughter and two grandchildren. We all enjoyed the week so much, a lot of Workshop variety, maybe too much! Really enjoyed your talks and would like a first chapter of your new book if possible, but intend to buy it when it’s available. Might even buy one for my daughter’s partner,(Steve) – he’s hard to convince! I think he talked to you at Penninghame – Sally (my daughter) has sec.breast cancer which is why we are going down the micro-biotic route. A really uncanny thing happened this evening; I went on my computer intending to look at your Web site, but before that I checked my emails and after reading one from a friend, about a cat and a deer I clicked on “previous list” and your voice came on, and your name on the screen and I found I was listening to one of your Talks! I can’t work out how that strange thing happened! Anyway thank you again for such interesting (and fascinating) talks. Barbara Walker
