<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">THE STORY OF
ZEN<o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Zen began in India as a Buddhist discipline and was
brought to China by a sage called Bodhidharma.
Zen came to Japan around the end of the 1100s and quickly evolved beyond
the belief system of Buddhism, to influence the way of thinking, their behavior
and aesthetics. Zen gave expression to
many forms of cultural life. Genyu
Sokyu, Zen monk and author, says Zen is "Strict yet easygoing". Two seemingly contradictory approaches. What springs to your mind when you hear the
word, “Zen”? Actually, Zen is dynamic
and free.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Zen developed in China in two discreet sects before
coming to Japan. The Northern School (Hokushuzen)
spoke of doctrine and asceticism and the southern school (Nanshuzen)stressed a
relaxed approach to oneself over doctrine. At first, the southern approach was initially accepted and then the northern
approach was incorporated over time.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Diversity<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">In lies the acceptance of two ways, “Ryoko”. The concept originally developed in Chinese
Taoist classic, “Zhuangzi”. It suggests
instead of looking at life in absolute terms; it is more effective to consider
its opposite; placing one in relation to the other. This way of thinking became very popular.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Shinto<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Long before, Buddhism’s arrival, the Japanese believed
in life in all things animate and inanimate and honored it with various
rituals. Chanting, sound vibration and
water purification were just some of the preparation on our paths of
development.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The Japanese openness towards diverse values prepared
the way for acceptance of Zen’s both sides.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Belief in our Inner Nature<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The answer lies in Zen’s belief that every human being
is endowed with an original nature at birth that is self-contained. It does not require the pursuit of something
extraneous. And since humans are born
with an innate Buddhahood (the potential to become a Buddha or an Awakened
One). Instead, one was directed to look
inside themselves. However, our true
nature is wrapped inside an ego. It is
our Mind that is trapped inside an illusion that the ego has created by
knowledge and experience. To uncover our
inner nature; one must work at transforming your mind and unwrap our true
nature.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Chinese and Japanese Medicine</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Buddhist Monks brought The Yellow Emperor’s Guide to
Internal Medicine<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Yellow Emperor’s guide treated organ energy
channels which today we call acupuncture or acupressure lines. There are five distinct regional areas in
China. Each geographic area was treated
differently to be effective.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Acupressure
was highly effective for regions in Japan and they adopted this practice. Chinese Acupressure then evolved into
Japanese Shiatsu (Shi=finger, Atsu=pressure).
Then in 1972; Shizuto Masanuga added Zen to Shiatsu. There is acupressure line stretching
whilst applying deep pressure on the acupressure points.
This activates a deep internal nervous system within us. Complete homeostasis is accomplished while
flushing these lines of congestion and tension.
In other words, a complete body reset. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Zen Shiatsu is gentle and effective, not painful like Chinese
acupressure can be. Zen Shiatsu is
preventative medicine at its best. The
Japanese received Shiatsu once a month to effectively prevent illness. </span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">If you choose a nutritional programs for allergies or
other health issues or Shiatsu (acupressure), many people experience
uncomfortable symptoms. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">The most common symptom my clients report is a
temporary reduction in energy. They may
find themselves sleeping longer. Some
people report temporary aches and pains in various parts of the body, digestive
system disturbances such as gas, constipation or diarrhea or other
miscellaneous complaints.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">These symptoms occur because the body is ridding
itself of the substances that have been making it toxic—not only the materials
that have accumulated in the colon but also the antibodies and other substances
that have built up in the individual cells, interfering with their normal
functioning. As these substances are
ejected out of the tissues, they are dumped into the system, making the body
temporarily more toxic until they can be excreted. This is partly what produces the symptoms of
the healing reaction. This effect is
accentuated by the body’s process of tearing apart defective tissue, repairing
damaged cells, destroying parasites or infective agents, and otherwise producing
debris from the re-construction. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">I find that the more severe the individual’s condition
(the more toxic his or her body is), the stronger will be the healing reaction. Because the healing reaction is caused by the
flushing of toxins out of the cells, the strength of the reaction is dependent
on your levels of toxins. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">OLD SYMPTOMS MAY RESURFACE TEMPORARILY AND WHY<o:p></o:p></span></u></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">So depending on your biochemical balance in your body
and the toxicity is what you experience while cleansing. When a person is perfectly healthy there is a
certain ration between Substance A and Substance B in the tissues. When this ratio gets out of balance is a
certain degree, the person may feel fatigue; when imbalance is greater, a
headache may occur; when it is greater still, the person may develop insomnia
and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">One reason you may re-experience symptoms as they get
healthier is that in order to progress from a 100:1 imbalance to a 1:1 balance,
they have to go back through 99.1, 98.1 and so forth and as they go through
each phase they experience the symptoms associated with that particular level
of imbalance. You can use hair analysis
to determine optimal levels for some of the principal minerals in the
body. Biochemist John Eck, hair analysis
even shows how efficiently the thyroid and adrenal glands are functioning. Magnetic Analyzers also give you this information. (See karencruickshank.blogspot.ca)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">Epilepsy
is so misunderstood. There are so many
Canadian people that are put on pharmaceutical drugs as the only alternative.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">We
as Canadians need to be informed… just how our bodies work. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">The
Epilepsy NEUTRALIZER is: Acupressure
points behind the big Toe nails….3 points, exactly….If you see a friend or
client that is going into an epileptic seizure….ask permision to immediately put your thumb or fingers behind the Toe Nail and
PUSH down with deep PRESSURE. Get the friend
to breathe….continue deep breathing and pressure until they are feeling better</span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">Simple explanation is too much pressure and fluids in the head. Deeply pressing foot acupressure points draws the excess pressure and fluids into the body.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">Signs
of epilepsy are</span></u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">The
friend starts to stiffen; sweating on the face and skin. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">These
people are far out on the health spectrum.
To remedy this…They should immediately stop all fluids …except for sips
of warm water. With children and adults,
immediately stop feeding them pop, sugar and all fruit juices. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">According
to Oriental Medicine; if you have developed Epilepsy, you have fluid pressure
on the brain and central nervous system. By pressing the 3 points, behind the toe nail
…you are <u>drawing the excess fluid pressure away from the brain and Central
Nervous system.</u> Everyone is <u>always
shocked</u> when they see how easy and effective this is. Within 30 seconds; your friend is okay…and unstiffens
and stops sweating. NO SEIZURE
EVENTUATES.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif;">Feed
the friends and children, sips of warm tea and soup…no cold fluids or foods. Study the Macrobiotic food and lifestyle
regime….www.macrobiotics.org and you
will always be rewarded with the restoration of amazing health and energy. If this person has also developed diabetes;
macrobiotic nutrition is even more critical.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Minerals and trace minerals are
the building blocks of all life.
Minerals function as co-enzyme to enable the body to quickly and
accurately perform its activities. They
are needed for the proper composition of body fluids, the formation for blood
and bone, and the maintenance of healthy nerve function. All the minerals together comprise only about
4% of the entire body weight, but they are responsible for major area of human
health. Minerals keep the body pH
balanced, and are essential to bone formation and to the digestion of
food. Minerals regulate the osmosis of
cellular fluids, electrical activity in the nervous system, and most metabolic
function. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">They transport oxygen though the
system, govern the heart rhythm, help you sleep, and are principle factors in
mental and emotional balance. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "microsoft sans serif" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Trace minerals are only .03% of
the body weight. Interesting! But Deficiencies can cause severe depression,
PMS and other menstrual disorders, hyperactivity in children, sugar imbalances,
nerve and stress conditions, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, premature aging
of skin and hair, memory loss and inability to heal quickly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Sea
vegetables are the greatest food source of nutrition and minerals.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<b><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">WAKAME –The Women’s Seaweed<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Graceful,
green fronds with a subtly sweet flavor and slippery texture. Expands quite a bit, so cut it in small
pieces. High in calcium, thiamine,
niacin, and Vitamin B12. Traditionally
used in Oriental medicine to purify the blood, strengthen intestines, skin and
hair. Beneficial for the reproductive
organs, and to help regulate women’s cycles.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">KOMBU- The Great Enhancer<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mellow
flavoured, broad green frond, expands greatly when soaked. Contains glutamic acid—a food tenderizer and
flavor-enhancer. Softens beans and makes
them more digestable. Sweetens root
vegetables in stews, so they melt in your mouth. For “al dente” kombu, cook ½ hour to 45
minutes, then slice into bite size pieces or julienne strips. Or, cook it for 1-1/2 hours in a pot of
beans, stir the pot and the kombu will dissolve and disappear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">HIJIKI-The Strong One<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Striking
black strands, with a firm texture and uniquely strong flavor. Richest of all the seaweeds in calcium and
iron—a good choice when you need to be able to stand up under pressure. Known in Japan as “the bearer of wealth and
beauty, hijiki is traditionally used to strengthen the bones, revitalize skin
and hair. Also builds strong intestines.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><u><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ARAME-The Artist’s Choice<o:p></o:p></span></u></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Delicate
brown-black strands with a mild, semi-sweet flavor, and firm, pleasing
texture. High in both calcium and
iron. Surprisingly artful when combined
with other foods—try adding ¼ cup to a batch of cornmeal muffin batter, or a
pot of split pea soup or adzuki bean salad.
Also delicious and attractive cooked together with buckwheat and onions
as a pilaf. What else could you use
it? If you are looking for a Quick
Fix: Using Arame in a stir fry. Soak for 5 – minutes and add towards the end
of your stir fry cooking. Add a small
amount of tamari (wheat free soya sauce) as you add Arame to stir fry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Oshawa, the grandfather of Macrobiotic suggests the Number 7 Food regime to
relieve arthritis. To change the
condition will take your body the time it needs to release all toxicity in the
kidney/blood systems. By changing your
foods to the ‘easiest’ to digest and the ‘highest’ in nutritional value for all
organs; you will completely cure yourself in six months.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

for dislocation of hip bone or pinched nerves in the spine affecting the

may be caused by weakened kidneys that start to malfunction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

kidneys cannot maintain blood alkalinity; causing the blood and other body
fluids to become acidic. If the body
fluids become acidic, available calcium is used from your bones and teeth to
neutralize acidity and calcium will be lost from bone and cartilage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
body produces waste substances as carbohydrates, protein and fats are
metabolized. Every second 280,000 cells
die which also produces waste products.
If these waste substances stay in the body they will make the body
fluids acidic causing nerves malfunction and vital organ malfunction.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">The
composition of blood must always remain constant. Blood volume must also remain constant. If blood volume is too high, heart failure
might result. Just know that our blood
is used over and over again. Some blood
is eliminated and replaced but not much.
The blood has to be purified and kept constant in composition and
volume. Body function can’t be suspended
even for one minute for the blood to be cleansed. All repairs and adjustments to the blood must
be made while the engine is still running.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Blood
enters the kidneys and passes through many ducts and tubes and circulates
around tissues and membranes that are capable of reabsorbing or passing
dissolved solids, water, minerals and glucose.
In adults, 125 milliliters (1/8 quart) of liquid per minute is filtered
through the kidneys, about 180 liters or 45 gallons a day which 178 liters or
44.5 gallons must be reabsorbed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Weak
kidneys means that the membranes in the kidneys have become weak and can’t do
the job reabsorbing essential substances such as minerals. So, too much of these essential substances are
lost. These membranes become weak from
being overworked by too much fluid to process or too many waste products to
eliminate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Another
function of the kidneys related to reabsorbing minerals is maintaining an
alkaline condition in the blood. Calcium,
magnesium, potassium and most importantly, sodium have to be reabsorbed by the
kidneys to maintain an alkaline condition in the blood. If the kidneys are weak, these minerals are
lost in the urine.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><img src="https://trainwithcoachsteve.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/foodtarget.png" /></span><br />
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Hello friends…Welcome to Autumn! I promised you more on Depression. In Chinese medicine, Grief and depression are
a part of the Autumn or Lung and Colon Season-Autumn. The seeds we have sown, now we shall reap.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Autumn is a season of gathering nature’s product
before winter’s rest. Autumn marks the
beginning of a cycle of personal turning within; its first official day is
September 23. The equinox day, when’s
night’s darkness equals the length of day.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Metal element in Chinese Five Element theory is
associated with autumn and represents the mineral ores and salts of the Earth. These function in creating structure and
communication. For instance, metal wires
establish connections and conduct electricity.
Your brain and nervous system is analogous to electrical wiring. Metal in Chinese system is similar to aspects
of Air in astrology. Both Air and Metal
energies are expressed in the inner workings and activities of the mind,
developing ideas, writing and speaking.
Degrees of mental clarity can be compared to Metal’s varying forms,
which range from crude, impure and dense or to a shining, crystal clear
gem. Whiteness in the facial pallor can
represent a metal imbalance, mainly seen in the skin around the eyes and
cheeks. This may be especially
noticeable in someone who has had a bad cold, or acute or chronic lung problems
or in someone who has recently been experiencing great worry, grief or sorrow,
the emotions corresponding to the Metal element.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">These feelings can be a healthy response, but if
extreme or prolonged may injure the lungs or large intestine, the Metal
organs. Worry may cause poor, shallow
breathing or the holding back of proper elimination, both important functions
of the lungs and large intestine. The
sense organ for the Metal element is the nose and associated sense is
smell. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Metal’s body fluid is mucus and the climate is
dryness. However, extreme dryness can
injure this element, as can its opposite climate, dampness. The mucous membranes contain 2 types of
cells: serous-producing a watery fluid
and mucous cells, which produce a thicker secretion. It is the mucus that protects and coats the
mucous linings, while the serous fluid helps wash debris and bacteria from
these sensitive membranes. Normally,
there is a higher percentage of serous cells along the linings. Excessive mucus is actually a relative state
of dryness from inadequate water intake, too much mucous producing food or a
Metal imbalance.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">You have a choice, you can be open and joyful,
welcoming each breathe and each change in life by looking toward the new
experience and growth it will bring. Or
if you dwell on sadness, you are open to injure the Metal element and in turn
to colds, lung ailments and digestive problems.
Your bowel habits reflect your approach to change; you hold on to fecal
matter until you even experience pain or you can freely let go of your waste
products. The “holding on” occurs not
just in the rectum but throughout the body, involving muscular tightness,
mental tension and other restrictions of bodily functions. If you are “holding on” please re-train
yourself to more easily and efficiently process your foods, thoughts and
emotions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Regular bowel movements occur naturally after eating a
meal since the gastrocolic reflex causes contraction of the rectum in response
to distention of the stomach. This is
true particularly in children.
Congesting diets high in meats, dairy and refined foods and poor eating
habits, like fast foods interfere with our regular bowel movements. Congestion of the large intestine often leads
to the displacement and loss of tone of this organ and is the cause of many
pains and illnesses. General abdominal
discomfort and low and mid-backaches are often referred from the distention of
the large intestine. In the Chinese
metal system, congestion in the large intestine manifests in the neck, head,
nose and sinuses. Pressure in the head
and sinuses, headaches, sore throats as well as crankiness, lack of energy and
even lack of enthusiasm for life can come from a back-up in this organ.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">This is exactly how I developed cancer. My large intestine was not releasing the
waste products so my blood became highly acidic. Within 2 years of changing my diet and life
perspective, my blood was restored to alkaline and I loved life. You must be aware by now that cancer cells
cannot form in alkaline blood. We are
designed to be 7.3 ph alkaline. We are
healthy and happy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Water</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Water is the main ingredient as it will act as the primary carrier of the electrolytes. It must be as clean as possible to work optimally. If you do not have the luxury of a home bottled water dispenser, simply boil water in a tea kettle. Incidentally, distilled water--the captured vapor from boiling water--is the best. It is very close to pure water, having almost all trace elements such as minerals, pollutants and other contaminants, removed. If you want distilled water, it's best to purchase it because collecting the vapor is difficult to do at home. Sometimes you can ask your bottled water carrier if they offer distilled water instead of spring. Tap water should be your last resort.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sea Salt, not table salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Electrolytes are basically salts. Salts keep your body's electrically conductive to maintain cell voltage for receiving or passing along information. Celtic Sea salt is the closest match to our blood. It has 91 minerals and trace elements needed to “Fire” our bodies’ car engine.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Oranges, grapefruits, tangerine, lemons and limes--try to always have these on hand as they are the best ingredients for electrolyte replenishment. Try lemon juice, it has an alkalizing effect inside the body even though it is an acid fruit. Be careful to avoid over consumption of oranges, grapefruits and tangerines. As they are extreme yin fruits so overconsumption creates acidosis in the body; not alkaliziing or strengthening. The body is optimal at 7.3 Alkaline ph level.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When you make your electrolyte drink, make sure that you're using a container that you like to travel with. If you like your container it will increase the chances that you will indulge in your drink concoction more often.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px;">Acidosis is the tendency towards over-acidity that arises in certain dis-eases. Acid is always developing in the body but it is usually carried away in the body’s excretions.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px;">There are some conditions affecting the digestion in which acidosis develops either because of increased acid production or because of the loss of alkaline substances by way of the bowels. This happens when there is much loss of fluid from vomiting or diarrhea. The treatment is to replace the lost fluid and to hinder the production of acid substances by giving water and salts. Macrobiotics recommends the following drinks to treat diarrhea or vomiting.</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px;">1. Sho-ban - soya sauce and bancha or barley tea</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px;">2. Umeboshi plum, ginger soya sauce, bancha or barley tea</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px;">3. Kuzu, umeboshi plum, bancha or barley tea</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px;">4. Miso soup with wakame</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px;">5. Sea vegetable soup</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Oxygen, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 26px;">Diabetes is the most common disease which cause acidosis. In diabetes, the body is unable to use glucose so that fats are incompletely burned and acid substances are produced. The acid becomes accumulated if there are not enough alkaline forming substances in the blood.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Help in the digestion and absorption of grains</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Stimulate appetite</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. Are a good source of fiber</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. A good source for absorbing salt</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. A good way to preserve vegetables</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Macrobiotic pickles are ones commonly made use roasted salted rice bran. The utilization and absorption of a food is a difficult process requiring many steps. Pickles play an active role in many of these steps.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Simply, grains are a Complex Carbohydrate. A carbohydrate is a molecule commonly found throughout the biological world, mainly in plants. That is made up of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen. The most commonly known is Glucose. The terms, Simple sugar, Simple carbohydrate, saccharide and monosaharide are names for the same thing. This monosacharide is the base unit (glucose), the building block to make Complex carbohydrates. In Grains, hundreds of glucose molecules or units are linked together. The intestines can only absorb the simplest sugars: Mono and D1(2) sachardies. The Grain molecule must be broken down into these base units in order to be absorbed and utilized as food in our bodies.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The breaking down process is accomplished by 3 things: </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. <u><b>Chewing</b></u>-the only physical action of digestion. In this process, the Grains is torn apart to expose the Complex carbohydrates if you don't chew grains well, it cannot be digested and absorbed. This is the main reason chewing so emphasized in macrobiotic practice. Chewing also promotes secretion of:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. <u><b>Enzymes</b></u>-Enzymes are molecules which catalize (promote and greatly speed up) chemical processes or reaction in our body. In this case, the process to simple carbohydrate is very important. The salivary enzyme called Amaylase plays a key role here. Other Enzymes work in the intestinal track.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. <b><u>Bacteria</u></b>-also work on the break down of the Grains. When bread dough uses a fermented or bacteria hosting starter, breaking down of the wheat has already begun. Old rice is easier to digest because bacteria have begun to break it down. In our intestines, there are millions of bacteria that live right at the sights of food absorption. This area with the bacteria is known as your Intestinal Flora. Here the final breaking down of food occurs before absorption.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Pickles play a role with enzymes and bacteria. The main worker here is a bacteria known as <b>Lactobacillus, prevalent in pickles. Lactobacilli </b>aid pancreatic enzymes in the breakdown of complex carbohydrates. Lactobacilli also produce lactic acid, an important food for the bacteria in the intestinal flora. Pickles help strengthen the intestinal flora.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When making pickles, in our case, rice bran, a process technically known as Lactic Acid Fermentation is occurring. The key is the early establishment of Lactobaccilli before other bacteria which spoil can multiply. The latter cannot tolerate the high acidity created by lactobaccilli.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I make quick summer pickles and winter pickles. With quick summer pickles fermentation is so fast there is no need to do anything. I rub celtic grey sea salt by hand into cut cabbage or other vegetables. You can use a pickle press or a rock and a plate to apply pressure. 15 minutes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Winter pickles, the vegetables are encased in a rice bran/celtic sea salt/water mixture. It is recommended to flip the vegetables from the bottom to the top so the Lactobacillus can be established. The pressure will be reduced and the lactic acid fermentation will be allowed to go from 1-6 months, depending on how Yang one wants the pickles. To halt fermentation, pickle crock is simply refrigerated. Take out pickles are removed to needed. Just know the more water in the vegetables, the faster they pickle.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you are over 40 or come from a farm; remember how pickles were always served as part of a meal. In Japan, a slice of pickle is always served.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>POWER EATING PROGRAM</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><b>YOU ARE <span style="font-size: x-large;">HOW</span> YOU EAT</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When people experience imbalances in their health, they often try counseling, divorce, relocation, pills, herbs, and surgery. Only as a last resort do they consider changing their eating habits, in the hopes of regaining their health.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When we eat food in a conscious manner, we may, as Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine taught "Let food be our medicine, and medicine be our food."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Eating is a primal desire, the basis of our survival instinct. Eating is a simple act, yet vastly underestimated as a major influence on health. If you question the importance of food, try fasting for several days, or notice the behavior of a hungry infant. As with all basic human functions, eating can be a greedy indulgence or a spiritual experience. How we eat can merely fill us up and comfort us, or it can heal and transform us.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In many traditions and cultures, eating is considered a crucial, even sacred act. I was told by Lebanese friend that a peasant is not required to stop eating even if a king enters his house. Ancient Jewish law states that if a piece of food larger than an egg is eaten, one must sit down and say grace. Eating with a reverent attitude is recommended in many religious and spiritual ritual practices.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">These days, we casually interrupt our meals for the phone and a thousand other hectic, chaotic influences of modern life. While we eat, we jump up and down, talk, read, scurry around, grab a bite, and then grab a digestive tablet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> According to Consumer Spending Report, Americans now spend over $1 billion on digestive medicines each year Take a good look at your own lifestyle.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">If foods are the building blocks of our health, then our stressful mealtime habits are causing us to crumble. Americans are overfed and undernourished. For too many people, food has become a form of entertainment rather than the means of nourishment. Grinning clowns sell high-fat, sugary non-foods. Cartoon characters, film stars and athletes convince Americans to eat junk food.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Yet a growing number of North Americans now are changing their eating habits. Unfortunately, some who eat a healthy diet fail to achieve satisfactory results largely because they focus on what, rather than how to eat. Very few people I observe know how to glean the full power from their food. The effects of even the most healthful meal can be minimized or nullified if eaten improperly.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">We each choose what we want for our lives. With PEP, you will derive the maximum benefits from the foods you choose to eat. As you begin to take more care with your food choices, eating manner, breathing, exercise and contemplation, and as you practice directing your energies, you will focus your life more swiftly on where you really want to be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">REALIZE WHY YOU EAT</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> Develop an awareness of your motivation for eating. Discover if the reason you are eating is:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">1. Mechanical: a spontaneous response to hunger without thought about the quality or effects of food. "I'm so hungry, I could eat anything." "I could eat a horse."</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">2. Sensory: Eating for the taste, texture, fragrance, visual appeal of the food. "I eat this because it's delicious." "The food looks so pretty." "I love creamy foods."</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">3. Sentimental: Eating motivated by emotions or memories. "This dish reminds me of childhood, my homeland, the ethnic foods I loved." "I want cookies and milk before bed."</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">4. Intellectual: Influenced by diet, experts, and scientists. "I eat this because the book says to." "The speaker said these foods are low in calories and high in vitamins."</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">5. Social: Eating while conscious of the earth and its people, with empathy for others. "I eat food which supports the earth and can feed everyone." As Gandhi said, "I eat simply so that others may simply eat."</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">6. Ideological: Eating according to religious discipline or spiritual teaching, for development and transformation. "Exercising discipline and care, I eat the food of my spiritual beliefs."</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">7. Supreme: Freedom in eating deriving from inner wisdom and understanding of self with an awareness of all seven levels. "I eat to support my dream. I know the power of food. I eat to live, not live to eat." (Adapted from George Ohsawa's Seven Levels of Judgment.</span></div>

<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">GINGER COMPRESS</b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Purpose</b>: Stimulate blood and body fluid circulation; helps loosen and dissolve stagnated toxic matter, cysts, tumors, etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Preparation: </b>Place a handful of grated ginger in a cheese cloth or 2 large slices of ginger root and put into pot. Put into a pot containing 1 gallon of hot water kept just below the boiling point, if you boil you will lose the power of the ginger. Soak a towel into the ginger water, wring it out tightly and apply, very hot, put inside a hot fresh towel; place on area to be treated. Apply fresh towel every 3-7 minutes until the skin becomes red.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Special Considerations for Cancer cases:</b> The ginger compress should be prepared in the usual manner. However, it should be applied for only a short time, 3-5 minutes maximum, to activate circulation in the affected are and should be immediately followed by a taro potato or potato plaster. </span><br />

It is estimated that about 90% of the people l</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">iving in subtropical</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">, where the winters have no frost to kill the eggs, have parasites. The reason why so few people know much about parasites is because it is very difficult to tell whether parasites are present or not. At least it is very difficult to find parasites if there are very few of them and they are causing no special symptoms. But if the infestation is severe it is then very easy to determine whether a person has parasites or not. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">HOW CAN WE FIND OUT WHETHER YOU HAVE PARASITES</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The methods for the detection of parasites vary. Science of applied kinesiology and also biomagnetics offer a quick and easy method testing for the presence of parasites in those people where the infestation is severe. Some of the signs and symptoms are the liver will become inflammed and irritated. There will be an area of weakness over the liver (right rib cage area). The Yuen Chinese Energetics combined with Quantum physics is a quick indentifier and deleter of all parasites. Over the years, of using various US homeopathic and herbal techniques, I am still astounded on how fast and effective the Yuen Method is.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Using the Magnetic Analyzer; testing (56 seconds-36 systems of the body) before the removal of parasites and afterwards brings to light the amazing improvements in the test results and consequently the person's health.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have recorded comments afterwards from "no headaches, to strength and energy, to brighter and clearer mentally, healthier bowel movements."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">TYPICAL LIFECYCLE OF THE PARASITE</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Hook worm disease or ankylostomiasis: the major symptom is chronic blood loss anemia. This is a pypochronic microcytic anemia since the blood iron is used up. Parasites eat blood airon. Other possible psymptoms are diarrhea or dysentary and ulceration of the small intestine, especially the jejunum. (is the part where most of the absorption takes place), itch or local skin irritation due to the larvae of the worms burrowing through the skin, pneumonia like symptoms or pulmonary symptoms due to the larvae passing through the lungs and digestive system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">LIFECYCLE OF THE HOOK WORM</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. Eggs exit the human with feces.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">2. Eggs hatch in the warm, moist soil with larvae</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3. The larvae become attached to the skin and burrow through the skin into the blood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4. The larvae travel via the blood or lymph to the lungs and other parts of the body.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">5. Larvae burrow through the alveolae in the lungs and climb up the wind pipe and then fall into the stomach. They are now adult size.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">6. In the small intestine the larvae attach to the mucosa with hook-like teeth, mostly in the jejunum, undergo sexual reproduction, the female laying 10,000 eggs a day. The worms have a lifespan of 2-3 years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The eggs are so small that they can also enter the host with the air in the form of dust. When a person who has a severe infestation gets out of bed in the morning, a cloud of eggs rises from the bed clothes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Occasionally the worms will not migrate to the small intestine but will remain in some part of the body. For instance, a case was reported where an autopsy showed that a person who died of a condition effecting her brain had 12 tapeworms in her brain. Other cases of the worms crawling out of the nose due to the worms damaging the optic nerve or if the worms settle in the muscles chronic back or muscle pains of different kinds. Traditionally, herbal pumpkin combination for removing parasites in intestines and black walnut and garlic getting the parasites out of muscles. Again, I now use the Yuen method and prayer to get every bit of the nest of parasites.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Reports state that parasites create: hypoglycemia, indigestion, colitis, back pain, headaches, neck pain, open illeo-cecal valve,. Some authorities suggest that cancer is often the result of parasites. Acne and skin problems, poor assimilation resulting in deficiency problems, nausea, vomiting, a feeling of fullness in the stomach. Some report you feel sick most of the time, you have no energy and generally listless. The parasites will cause ulceration of the intestines. The intestines will produce large amounts of mucus to try and protect itself. As a result absorption of the nutrients might be reduced to such an extent that it becomes virtually impossible to control the deficiencies.</span><br />

Besides their dramatic flavor, Japanese pickled plums have remarkable medicinal qualities. Their powerful acidity has a paradoxical alkalinizing effect on the body, neutralizing fatigue, stimulating the digestion, and promoting the elimination of toxins. This is the Far Eastern equivalent to both aspirin and apple; not only is it a potent hangover remedy for mornings after; more than that, an umeboshi a day is regarded as one of the best preventive medicines available.</div>

Like many of Japan's ancient medicinal foods, the origin of the pickled plum is obscure. One theory traces it to China, where a dried smoked plum, or ubai, was discovered in a tomb built over two thousand years ago. The ubai is one of China's oldest medicines and is still used for a variety of medical purposes such as counteracting nausea, reducing fevers, and controlling coughs.</div>

The oldest Japanese record of pickled plums being used as a medicine is in a medical text written about one thousand years ago. Umeboshi were used to prevent fatigue, purify water, rid the body of toxins, and cure specific diseases such as dysentery, typhoid, and food poisoning. Slowly, extensive folklore developed about umeboshi's ability to prevent and cure certain diseases.</div>

During Japan's furious samurai period, which lasted through most of the Middle Ages, the pickled plum was the soldier's most important field ration. It was used to flavor foods such as rice and vegetables, and its high acidity made it an excellent water and food purifier, as well as an effective antidote for battle fatigue.</div>

Almost 200 years ago, the Japanese began experimenting with ways to concentrate the healing powers of umeboshi. Finally, a dark liquid called bainiku ekisu (plum extract) was developed. To make the extract, sour green ume plums are slowly cooked down to obtain their most active ingredients in a highly concentrated form. The resulting dark, sticky, thick liquid is usually mixed with hot water and honey and is drunk as a tonic. Dried plum extract is also formed into pills, called meitan. In both plum extract and meitan, the plums' citric acid content is concentrated tenfold, which is equivalent to about twenty-five times the content found in lemon juice.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
Many natural healers around the world feel that these concentrated forms of Japanese plums are among the world's most effective natural medicines. Moreover, they do not have the high salt content of pickled plums. </div>
