Eddie,
There are some people in Louisiana practicing and teaching macrobiotics.
Phylis Parun, for one:
http://www.enjoy-life.com/
http://www.macrobiotics.sph.sc.edu/louisiana.htm
Check out both of those webpages and websites to see what services she offers before calling her at: 504-949-8876
Books to get basic recipes for healing, include:
The Macrobiotic Path to Total Health : A Complete Guide to Preventing and Relieving More Than 200 Chronic Conditions and Disorders Naturally By Michio Kushi and Alex Jack

Once you get a handle on your diet and you are healthy enough to occasionally go out to eat, in New Orleans, check out the:
Old Dog New Trick Café
http://www.frommers.com/destinations...ns/D41549.html
http://www.bestofneworleans.com/cuis...iews/odnt.html
You might however visit and see if they have a bulletin board (as you might do at all and any local natural/health food stores and restaurants) to see if there are any people offering macrobiotic services and also any local macrobiotic support groups.
If you meet any new macrobiotic people or find any macrobiotic support groups in Louisiana, please let us know.
Thank you, very much.
