In 2002, the Cancer Advisory Panel on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAPCAM) within the National Institute of Cancer (NCI) studied six cases of macrobiotic survivors presented by the Kushi Institute of MA. All six indivduals had been in Stage IV metastatic cancer. The CAPCAM review included viewing medical records, hearing expert testimony and answering questions from the medical and scientific panelists of CAPCAM. The panel agreed unanimously that the research was impressive and the macrobiotic approach was worthy of further study.

Unfortunately, due to certain circumstances, the studies were not funded and did not commence. Currently,A group of macrobiotic researchers are looking again at forming a foundation and applying for the government grants.

Marlene Marcello-McKenna was one of the six cases and was present at the CAPCAM meeting. She also attended the Congressional hearing where Michio Kushi presented macrobiotics to a government panel.
