Our Teachers

Naboru Muramoto

(1920-1995)

Sensei Muramoto was a gentle man, “hands on” with food making, steeped in the lore of oriental medicine, always investigating home remedies and the use of food as medicine. His kitchen was his laboratory, and the cot in his study was often occupied with one person or another who came for healing.

He was the author of the popular manual Healing Ourselves, A Book to Serve as Companion in Time of Illness and Health, compiled from his lectures by Michel Abehsera and published by Avon Books in 1973. In 1988, he wrote Natural Immunity: Insights on Diet and AIDS. (Both books are out of print.)
