Guest guest Posted April 27, 2003 Report Share Posted April 27, 2003 Dear Carol, Anna, Robin, Everybody, Hi - long time since I've written on here. Ever since I have gone into my Venus/Rahu in early November, my world has been pretty unbelievably busy in an odd kind of way, and intense. With your discussion going on regarding alkalizing the body and the preventative effects of it, as well as healing effects, I want to be sure you all know of or mention 'Umeboshi', meaning salt-pickled plum, of Japan. Many Japanese make a point of enjoying a salt plum each morning as preventive medicine or for "the morning after." (There is some story about biting the dog that bit you...") Known in Japan as "the king of alkaline foods," the use of umeboshi dates back more than 4000 years in China, and 1500 years ago it was brought into Japan as a medicinal food, believed to have been transported to Japan by Buddhist monks. It has an amazing reputation and history of working to instantly akalize the system as well as working in many ways of healing which I can share for those interested privately rather than continue on the list here. But this is something you all should hear and know about as it's a very healthy way to alkalize your system and works in many healthful ways beyond that. My family and I have taken them for years - also gives your hair a great healthy shine. They can be found in Japanese stores and also the big healthfood markets in the Japanese section. Any micro-biotic store or supplier as well. They are big in macro-biotic circles for all the amazing things they contribute to helping/healing our bodies. In the older days everyone just knew that they worked, nowadays there have been many, many studies on this amazing plum.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 Thanks for this interesting detail about the Japanese salt plum Umeboshi. It's the first I've heard of it, Patrice--I will look for this plum! Speaking of plums, nice to have you writing again! Very important to remember that a favorable acid-alkaline balance in one's system can prevent a great many illnesses from taking hold.
