ZuZu's Open, EXPO GREAT!, Herb Class
WOW
Sunday morning I woke up and just stared at the ceiling lost in thought. The busy café, the vendors, the almost 1,000 people that we saw throughout the day, the seminars which were all well attended, the interviews, my incredible family and awesome staff being as busy as could be, and out of my mouth, the first audible words of the day were……that was GREAT!
THE EXPO WAS A HUGE SUCCESS! It was an incredible day. The only complaint we heard from the vendors was….they were so busy they could never walk around!
We had around 912 people at the expo, and another 70ish at the evening activities. Now isn’t that exciting? At around 10:45, not even an hour after the doors opened, I took a walk past the seminar rooms. The vendor hall was already full of hundreds of people at the booths, and the excitement was everywhere. But the seminars….would people actually come? And to the 10am seminars? I walked by room 1, people throughout, then room 2,……3,4,5,6,7 people in all the rooms, and lot’s of them! I just stood in the hallway and…..wept! THEY CAME!
For those who are new to our site, or these e-newsletters, you should be informed of one thing. Our mission as a family, our goal as humans dancing around on this earth is quite simple. To bring the knowledge of how simple the body works, and how wonderful, pain free -disease free health can fortify the majority of all people. OUR BODIES ARE DESIGNED to LIVE! They are magnificently crafted, scientifically engineered powerhouses that need ONE THING to heal and thrive…..perfect foods! It really is that simple. So when I had this crazy idea….to bring together many holistic doctors and natural forms of nurture and healing to one place, some thought us nuts. They questioned who would come? This was my vision, for others to learn and see the many ways to heal without the pharmacy. And well, it happened! YEAH! THANK you to the diverse and knowledgeable vendors, thank you to the incredible volunteers who made this day perfect. My head is still ringing with the countless comments on our delightful, friendly helping staff. This was not a one man show…this was a major group effort!
Now on to Milwaukee! We will choose a date this week, and will keep you posted!
CAFÉ OPEN THIS SATURDAY! MAY 1st!
May day is here! This Saturday ZuZu’s will be open for lunch and supper. Our hours are 11:00 am – 2:30 PM and 5:00-8:00PM. We will have an almost full menu as found on line and our special…..a living RAW Plate! This dinner special is INCREDIBLE! 3 Raw living entrees, an incredible salad and a delightful dessert all for $17.65. Please pre-order the raw dinner so we can keep a running tally! If you get this note late and did not pre order, come anyway! We are just looking for a rough total for the raw dinner special.
TWO DAY FAMILY HERB CLASS – THIS SATURDAY MAY 1st!
Coming this Saturday to a health center near you…..2 Days with the mad scientist and engineer – the master herb man himself….CHIS! Chris and Joy are excited to offer this class to us. The classes are on Saturday May 1st and Saturday June 5th from 9 am – 3:30 pm. The cost is $180.00 and includes lunch both days at ZuZu’s Organic Café. (Personally, it is my favorite café to dine at…..) If you can only make it to one class the cost is $110.00 and you will still receive all the books. If you have not heard Chris speak, you will be blown away with knowledge and inspired to live a life rich and abundant with HERBS! The class will make you a pro as the Family Herbalist! Please call 262-629-4300 to register! May 1st will be class B, and June 5th will be class A. For those who attended the class April 17th, that was class A so keep this Saturday on your schedule! It will be another AMAZING day!
Left Over’s!
The cafe was buzzing on Saturday and we have a few items we need to sell quickly. AVACADOS- still great for $1.00. 6 fresh brat buns $2.39, 6 precooked brats ( local grass fed no nitrates, no pork, organic spices made for Natures Garden brats that TASTE GREAT) for $, Lettuce for $, cucumbers for $ ,
SUN care Products and SKIN care class this THURSDAY!
Join Pat Molter (our amazing aroma therapist) and I for a class on skin protection and care. We will cover a lot of information on summer protection so come! We will be carrying (already have it all in the store just not on a shelf yet) our own line of sun care and protection items and bug repellant. Now, you need to know of a conversation I recently had with Pat. I went to her home a few months ago to discuss new products. While we were discussing oils, she asked me point blank if I really understood the therapy behind oils. I have used them, so I know of many, but she proceeded to bring in her “lab” books and I was blown away! This was amazing!!!! Pat has degrees in aroma therapy, and these books were like science text books that had compounds, degrees, mixtures, magic potions (ok, no magic, just looked like amazing concoctions in some old ancient secret code…..) and I just starred at the pages in awe. Essential Oil Therapists use an art! This is medicinal in every form! THIS, along with herbs of course….is what has healed since the dawn of time. AMAZING stuff. So when we have an oil class, get prepared to learn more than what pretty fragrances you can use on your skin, come learn how amazing and therapeutic these oils really are! Pat, you are awesome!
NEW PRODUCTS GALORE!
We brought in a few things for the expo…….and now they have found a place in our store! You will enjoy the new layout of things…so don’t get discouraged when you come in and a few things…..ok a few hundred things….are in a new place! J
Our new line of LOTIONS! Pat has nailed a perfect blend for lotions and you will never go back to anything else. Please come try some just to see for yourself how wonderful and healthy your hands will feel. Did I mention the SCENTS ARE INCREDIBLE!? We have Almond, Vanilla, Coconut, Raspberry, AND Lavender. We also have our own pump hand soaps too! Same amazing scents and all VERY SAFE - Chemical free ingredients! GREAT STUFF! Did we also mention our own new counter scrubs, counter sprays and headache oils? ORGANIC WINE and BEER, Finally I know for all those who have been harassing me these last two years…….thank Rita for that one! Gluten free beer, great Ales (so I am told) and wonderful wines. We also have Anodyne coffee. I went to the main store downtown last month to meet with the owners about having their coffee freshly packaged for us. It was amazing! There were dozens of coffee bags – the 50 and 100 pound sacks- on pallets everywhere from around the world. We carry the fair trade and organic lines, and for now both the freshly ground and whole bean. They roasted the beans right there at their store and it smelt great! So please pick some up soon and let us know your favorites! All I know is that people loved it on Saturday! We have many other products as well, like organic vegan butter spread, organic peanut butter and chip ice cream, and more but this newsletter I am writing from home sitting in my pajamas so I just can’t give you all of them yet. Heck, it is 6 am!

Camera to Rent?
We need two more cameras for the Expo. Mike.com (our nickname for our techie man) owns five and we need seven. If anyone has an AVCHD camera, Sony preferred, Flash memory first choice but a hard drive backup would come in second, please let us know. We will NOT move the camera once it is set up in the room. We will gladly pay you a rental fee, so please contact us ASAP if you can help!
Plastic Bags!
As most of you are aware, we have not purchased a plastic bag for groceries in two years! You have all been generous in donating your plastic bags so we can reuse them. Heck, I believe there are a few bags that we have seen more than twice! We want to use these standard Wal-Mart size bags for the expo for visitors to use as collection bags. If you have any extra bags of this size, please bring them in ASAP. We have many, but want to make sure we have enough!

NEW THURSDAY CLASS – Raw Dips, Sauces and Spreads!
Join Cassie our raw food guru chef as she shows us simple sauces, spreads and dips! YUMMY healthy products that can take the place of mayonnaise, salad dressings and lunch spreads in our daily diet. We are excited to have Cassie with us for this class!
Updated Class Schedule
Our NEW class schedule for May – August 2010 is available! Check it out on line or in the store. We even have THREE FREE MOVIE NIGHTS and Raw Potlucks!
New Products!
We all appreciate the TERRIFIC medicinal and culinary herbs and spices (almost all are 100% organic) that Chris and Joy find and sell to us. They find these herbs from many companies. Well guess what! Now they are bottling up fresh organic culinary blends for us at NG! The salt free pizza seasoning is great on salads and potatoes as well as pizzas. The all purpose it wonderful, the Garam Marsala is wonderful on any grain and with vegetables, and then the single herbs are YUMMY! Please visit our spice area and stock up on a few……or all. I just am not a good saleswoman am I! BUY THEM ALL!
NEW: Dr. Christophers Itch Ointment, Stings and Bites Ointment, and Comfrey Ointment – Umeboshi Paste (plum paste), Need seed oil, and Dried Maitake, Shitake and Whole Shitake Mushrooms! We also have new sprouted salads in the cooler …YUM!
Extra Room?
We have someone who we would like to hire full time. She is a raw food chef, and has a culinary degree and a degree in architectural design. (I may have the exact degree wrong, but she designs homes and additions…) She is as excited to be here as we are to have her but….she currently lives on the south side of Milwaukee.
We are wondering if there is anyone in this area that would have a room to spare Monday – Friday on a weekly basis. It could be Tuesday – Friday, Monday – Thursday or whatever works best. We just want her here, and she wants to be here. Please let us know if this would work for you. We would love her full time, but would settle for part time if anyone is looking for an architect!
Living the Extreme Life….Crystal Balls etc…..
One of my friends wrote me a letter recently. Because many of you may receive the same kind of letter, I wanted to share my response. And, perhaps some of you reading this blog post or newsletter may just have the same thoughts….so I wanted to share this with you!
Accusation: heading down a road that leads to a foggy life, crystals, secular thoughts etc, and living to an unhealthy extreme. Some of My Response: “Change is hard for many, change in religion, change in habits, and change in diet. Unhealthy extremes is not at all how we live. Purchasing nitrate filled, msg flavor enhanced, toxin laden, chemically enhanced, enriched-because-everything-that-had-life-in-it-was-sucked-out, food colored, food additive filled (food additives that have never been tested on humans (now well over 2000)) foods.....now eating these foods may be considered extreme!!!
Feasting on nuts, seeds and vegetables, then enjoying salads, beans and grains is not extreme.
Bologna lunchmeat, now THAT is extreme!
So if the facts for making us extreme are that we will not drink soda, we don't eat processed foods, and we don't snack of French fries and pizza each week, then count us in baby!
Please take the time and come to the Holistic Health and Healthy Living Expo on April 24th. There are thousands of people in our area that eat and believe as we do....no crystals or lava lamps either.
The people who shop here and those we are working with are doing incredible! People off of all their insulin within weeks, cancers receding, one woman not coughing for the first time in years, children, adults all clearing out their bodies and restoring LIFE and Marrow to their bones! Wheelchair bound people feeling more energy than ever before, numerous people sleeping better than ever, natural return of libido……Now if this is extreme, YEAH! We will live this life forever. It is so much more fun than the heavy weight of illness and addictions. What we live my dear friend, is FREE. Truth always sets us free. Truth about food will set many others free. Free from addictions, free from toxic drugs, free from financial drain.
As I was writing this letter to you, a local doctor called and asked me what I would do with the diet for a 10 year old girl with UTI. Isn't that cool? Doctors know drugs...that are what they know. I know food, which is what I know. I cannot, nor claim to have the ability to heal anyone. I just offer thoughts and advice if asked, and the body heals itself. IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO SO. If anyone can testify of the bodies’ power to heal...I would stand in the front of the line! Our bodies are AMAZING!”
It was a natural response, and as others express their concerns for you as your journey on this road to extreme health and wellness, never hesitate to complete the thoughts above with perhaps……….. appreciation for their concern for perhaps what may seem like an extreme lifestyle, and I guess, compared to most of America, we may very well be extreme………EXTREMLY HEALTHY!
Can we Pretty Please Borrow Your Distiller?
If anyone has a distiller we can borrow for the Expo that would be great! We want to distill water from the surrounding cities to show what comes out of the water. IF you have a distiller and could lend it to us that would be great! Even better….If you can distill water from your city let us know! We need water from: West Bend, Jackson, Slinger, Hartford, one with reverse osmosis, and one with cheap bottled water. All water samples need to be done using UN SOFTENED water. IF this is possible let us know! You can distill it now and it will be fine for next week, or distill it next week sometime. We will donate a few gallons of water (distilled) so you won’t live without! J
Asian Beetles?
Does anyone know how to rid their home of Asian Beetles or lady bugs? People have asked me and I simply do not have any answer. Thoughts? Responses will be shared with all of you!
WE WILL BE CLOSED SATURDAY APRIL 24th ALL DAY!
Check us out at the EXPO!
Yes, only 12 days until the EXPO! We are all pumped here, and hope everyone receiving this letter is getting excited! Please visit our website for the updated list of booths and our amazing list of speakers! The Doctors and professionals coming to speak is GREAT!

NEW THURSDAY CLASS – Raw Dips, Sauces and Spreads!
Join Cassie our raw food guru chef as she shows us simple sauces, spreads and dips! YUMMY healthy products that can take the place of mayonnaise, salad dressings and lunch spreads in our daily diet. We are excited to have Cassie with us for this class!
Updated Class Schedule
Our NEW class schedule for May – August 2010 is available! Check it out on line or in the store. We even have THREE FREE MOVIE NIGHTS and Raw Potlucks!
New Products!
We all appreciate the TERRIFIC medicinal and culinary herbs and spices (almost all are 100% organic) that Chris and Joy find and sell to us. They find these herbs from many companies. Well guess what! Now they are bottling up fresh organic culinary blends for us at NG! The salt free pizza seasoning is great on salads and potatoes as well as pizzas. The all purpose it wonderful, the Garam Marsala is wonderful on any grain and with vegetables, and then the single herbs are YUMMY! Please visit our spice area and stock up on a few……or all. I just am not a good saleswoman am I! BUY THEM ALL!
NEW: Dr. Christophers Itch Ointment, Stings and Bites Ointment, and Comfrey Ointment – Umeboshi Paste (plum paste), Need seed oil, and Dried Maitake, Shitake and Whole Shitake Mushrooms! We also have new sprouted salads in the cooler …YUM!
Extra Room?
We have someone who we would like to hire full time. She is a raw food chef, and has a culinary degree and a degree in architectural design. (I may have the exact degree wrong, but she designs homes and additions…) She is as excited to be here as we are to have her but….she currently lives on the south side of Milwaukee.
We are wondering if there is anyone in this area that would have a room to spare Monday – Friday on a weekly basis. It could be Tuesday – Friday, Monday – Thursday or whatever works best. We just want her here, and she wants to be here. Please let us know if this would work for you. We would love her full time, but would settle for part time if anyone is looking for an architect!
Living the Extreme Life….Crystal Balls etc…..
One of my friends wrote me a letter recently. Because many of you may receive the same kind of letter, I wanted to share my response. And, perhaps some of you reading this blog post or newsletter may just have the same thoughts….so I wanted to share this with you!
Accusation: heading down a road that leads to a foggy life, crystals, secular thoughts etc, and living to an unhealthy extreme. Some of My Response: “Change is hard for many, change in religion, change in habits, and change in diet. Unhealthy extremes is not at all how we live. Purchasing nitrate filled, msg flavor enhanced, toxin laden, chemically enhanced, enriched-because-everything-that-had-life-in-it-was-sucked-out, food colored, food additive filled (food additives that have never been tested on humans (now well over 2000)) foods.....now eating these foods may be considered extreme!!!
Feasting on nuts, seeds and vegetables, then enjoying salads, beans and grains is not extreme.
Bologna lunchmeat, now THAT is extreme!
So if the facts for making us extreme are that we will not drink soda, we don't eat processed foods, and we don't snack of French fries and pizza each week, then count us in baby!
Please take the time and come to the Holistic Health and Healthy Living Expo on April 24th. There are thousands of people in our area that eat and believe as we do....no crystals or lava lamps either.
The people who shop here and those we are working with are doing incredible! People off of all their insulin within weeks, cancers receding, one woman not coughing for the first time in years, children, adults all clearing out their bodies and restoring LIFE and Marrow to their bones! Wheelchair bound people feeling more energy than ever before, numerous people sleeping better than ever, natural return of libido……Now if this is extreme, YEAH! We will live this life forever. It is so much more fun than the heavy weight of illness and addictions. What we live my dear friend, is FREE. Truth always sets us free. Truth about food will set many others free. Free from addictions, free from toxic drugs, free from financial drain.
As I was writing this letter to you, a local doctor called and asked me what I would do with the diet for a 10 year old girl with UTI. Isn't that cool? Doctors know drugs...that are what they know. I know food, which is what I know. I cannot, nor claim to have the ability to heal anyone. I just offer thoughts and advice if asked, and the body heals itself. IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO SO. If anyone can testify of the bodies’ power to heal...I would stand in the front of the line! Our bodies are AMAZING!”
It was a natural response, and as others express their concerns for you as your journey on this road to extreme health and wellness, never hesitate to complete the thoughts above with perhaps……….. appreciation for their concern for perhaps what may seem like an extreme lifestyle, and I guess, compared to most of America, we may very well be extreme………EXTREMLY HEALTHY!
Can we Pretty Please Borrow Your Distiller?
If anyone has a distiller we can borrow for the Expo that would be great! We want to distill water from the surrounding cities to show what comes out of the water. IF you have a distiller and could lend it to us that would be great! Even better….If you can distill water from your city let us know! We need water from: West Bend, Jackson, Slinger, Hartford, one with reverse osmosis, and one with cheap bottled water. All water samples need to be done using UN SOFTENED water. IF this is possible let us know! You can distill it now and it will be fine for next week, or distill it next week sometime. We will donate a few gallons of water (distilled) so you won’t live without! J
Asian Beetles?
Does anyone know how to rid their home of Asian Beetles or lady bugs? People have asked me and I simply do not have any answer. Thoughts? Responses will be shared with all of you!
WE WILL BE CLOSED SATURDAY APRIL 24th ALL DAY!
Check us out at the EXPO!

Superfood Update
We have all been patiently waiting for our superfood to arrive. It appears our organic rose hips were customarily shipped with other shipments and the earthquake threw all of that off so…….we should have hundreds of pounds of our greens within days now, and they have new labels too! We apologize for this long delay, but know we would NOT lower our standards. We could have ordered other rose hips in, but they would not have been the same quality we have been using. Integrity….it is earned when no one is watching you know!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
We NEED many volunteers for the 24th of April! All volunteers will receive free admission to the expo and dance. Shifts will run from 10:00 am – 1:00 pm & 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm.
Please let me know if you are interested. The areas we need help are the following: Manning an emergency preparedness booth, helping with tickets, helping in the video rooms, helping at our booths (we have many), and working in the kitchen. We will need to hire some people for the kitchen as well, so if you know anyone please let us know ASAP.

PETITION TODAY!
On March 17, the Wisconsin Assembly Health and Healthcare Reform Committee passed the Dietitian's Licensing Bill (SB115/AB 440). If this bill becomes state law, it will effectively restrict free speech in Wisconsin concerning nutritional information.
What is Bill SB115?
Senate Bill 115 will prohibit highly qualified professionals from practicing nutritional therapy in Wisconsin and limit consumers' access and right to choose from whom they seek nutritional therapy. It will create a monopoly on nutritional therapy to the sole benefit of the American Dietetic Association and the Wisconsin Dietitans Association. It will make it a crime to teach about good nutritional practices or make nutritional recommendations unless you are licensed by the Wisconsin Dietetic Association and follow their dietary guidelines.
Who will be affected?
Certified nutritionists, nutritional consultants, naturopaths, ethnic healers, health food stores, weight control and nutrition coaches, church groups with a nutrition outreach, herbalists, farmers...anyone who discusses the value of food and nutrition will be affected. Anyone who is not a state licensed dietitian will not be able to fully convey any nutritional information that is not approved or permitted by the Wisconsin Dietitians Licensing Board. Even though that information is allowed by federal law, it would be restricted in Wisconsin.
What is the WDA?
The Wisconsin Dietetic Association is a "professional organization (that) promotes registered dietitians and dietetic technicians as the nutrition experts through membership, continuing education, and legislative activities". Interestingly enough the WDA accepts advertising sponsorships from companies like General Mills, Kellogg, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Mars, Incorporated. We must defeat this bill!
We need to protect Wisconsin's citizens' access to alternative nutritional information and services. The WDA has about 1,700 members; this bill would affect over 17,000 businesses in the state of Wisconsin!
What you can do
Follow the steps below to contact your state representatives and to pass this information on to family, friends, and co-workers. The links at the left will lead you to more information about the history of this bill and the impact it will have if it is passed.
Please act now!
