Thursday July 16, please join us for a special evening’s lecture, Sweet Seductions – Breaking the Sugar Addiction, July 16, 7:30-9 pm at the Rueff Home, 1130 Trailridge Lane, Dunwoody, Georgia 30338. A special topic for Warren is a natural from his intense research on hypoglycemia which earned him great respect from his colleagues and clients. This incredible expertise extends to the amazing material Warren has gathered to speak on sugar addiction. So vital today! Can you believe the average person today consumes 147 pounds of sugar annually? Yes, people are caught in a sugar addiction – as Warren explains, take that morning sugar away, and watch people barely being able to move in the morning. One of the worse foods we can consume, Warren explains how to step off the sugar roller coaster ride once and for all. He will describe the difficulty our health endures when we consume sugar. Knowing this valuable information is very helpful when we are choosing a different and healthier macrobiotic diet and lifestyle. You will learn healthy alternative sweetners as well as satisfying sweet dishes and beverages far easier on our bodies, relaxing and helpful to our health. We will serve a delicious non-sugar dessert and tea recommended on the macrobiotic diet! Maybe you can even guess the source of minerals in this yummy dessert! You’ll find out in Warren’s lecture!
Suggested reading: Sugar Blues, by William Dufty, journalist and husband to Gloria Swanson, writes the history of sugar, and how the ill effects of sugar have been known hundreds of years.

This Home Remedies Class is just as about as important as learning miso soup, brown rice, beans and & greens!
LIke the Crown Jewel of Macrobioitics! Why?
Remedies are amazing combinations of macro food already on the shelves of our kitchen.
Only, we might never think of preparing them to help us overcome fever, pain, hasten cuts healing, menstrual cramping,
severe bruises from a fall, severe headaches ~ even migraines, jet lag, medicating for a dental appointment, & much more, til you learn it in a class! Then you know! Your confidence level just measured, yep, I can do this! Easily!
Warren explains taking conventional medicines band-aid a situation, rather than heal it from within,
actually driving the condition deeper into our body. But macrobiotic home remedies hasten healing, and change the direction of our health.
This class is really special, and important for those new to macrobiotics. You’ll have these great tools and know how to
use them right from the start of your practicing macro. Which is why we planned it at the beginning of the series!
It’s so much better knowing how to make these remedies well, before you, or someone you love, need them.
Then, you’ll be the expert. And sure, you’ll follow directions, but you won’t be learning it from scratch at an emergency!
Much easier to observe an experiment in a cooking class mode, than on yourself or family member when they are in pain, don’cha think?
And you’ll become the expert offering your 2 cents on The Kind Life Website of Alicia Silverstone, and suddenly everyone knows your preferred home remedy! Alicia refers to Carrot-Daikon Tea, which you’ll be sampling, too!

You’re on a macrobiotic diet and you just ordered a beer? You’re having sake? But I thought you were on a macrobiotic diet? Did I see you having some wine, and you claim to eat so pure? Now I’m not going to believe anything you say about food anymore. Do you hear comments like these? I just did, and from a close family member.
A standard macrobiotic diet includes whole grain, beans, selected vegetables, soups, sea vegetables, sometimes recommended fish, seeds, nuts and fruit. And each category has special preparations. So why add alcoholic beverages to this healthy lifestyle? Is this hypocritical?
Not when we consider the yin and yang of it all, and how the macrobiotic diet is based on energetics – not calories, carbs, or weight. But how eating this food makes us feel. What is our energy like. Relaxing in this fast pace world is challenging, so we intentionally include relaxing foods and beverages.
Fruit kantens, pureed soups, warm fruit cooked in kuzu relax; try some warm apple juice, warm carrot juice and feel yourself relax deeper inside than biting into a cold apple. Sliced apples cooked in little apple juice is far sweeter and more relaxing too.
Sometimes a little stronger yin is called for, and that bit of warm sake relaxes our core being, or a glass of wine at your favorite Italian restaurant. Or, you’re out with friends at a local seafood restaurant – relax, enjoy a local beer with fish and chips. Why local beer? It aligns you with your environment. In fact, Warren Kramer suggests ordering local beer balances the yang of traveling. And it gets you in the groove of wherever you visit.
And when you want a milder yin? Adding apple juice to your bancha tea is very relaxing, or rice syrup. You can dilute the apple juice with water if you are limiting your fruit intake.
Sometimes try this special remedy drink, Ame Kuzu, which can actually be made three ways. Each achieves a stronger level of yin. The mildest is with rice syrup, a little stronger version uses barley malt, and the most yin is with apple juice. Warm and sweet, it relaxes your mind, settling down after a busy day, or having too much on your mind, and insures a good night sleep. Sometimes it’s an effective muscle relaxer.
The Ame Kuzu recipe is found in The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health, by Michio Kushi and Alex Jack, page 446.
- Dilute 1 teaspoon kuzu in 1 cup cold water
- Stir constantly over a medium flame, until the milky white liquid becomes transparent.
- Add 1-2 Tablespoons Suzanne’s Genmai Brown Rice Syrup
- Bring to a gentle boil*, and drink warm. *kuzu must boil to be effective.
- Or, the following:
- Prepare the Barley Malt version the same as above.
- Substitute Apple juice instead of water, or you can dilute with half juice, half water.
