Mina Dobic, originally from Yugoslavia where she was a prominent professor and radio and TV personality, is now living in Los Angeles, CA with her wonderful family. Mina's recovery from ovarian cancer is quite astonishing to say the least! In 1987 Mina was diagnosed with ovarian cancer stage IV with metastases to the liver and lymph system and given two months to live. She declined the doctor's recommendation for chemotherapy and radiation, and after researching other possibilities, decided to adopt the macrobiotic way of life and healing diet. Six and a half months later she was cancer free. In 1990, Mina decided moved to the US and studied macrobiotics. She has made an incredible commitment to give back to others struggling with illness and disease. Besides her certification as a Macrobiotic educator and counselor, she is certified by the state of California through The School of Healing Arts, in San Diego, CA - Nutritional Sciences, Food Sciences and Human Nutrition. Counseling many individuals in Hollywood has been one of Mina's missions: Madonna, singer and actress said: "Mina's counseling and wisdom have improved my health and the health of my family immensely. She has shown us how healing and how destructive food can be. She has been a great inspiration." (Visit www.madonna.com) Other celebrities she has seen are Tom Cruise, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Kidman, and others.
I have had the honor of being on a recovery panel with Mina during a macrobiotic summer conference and I admire all her good work!
