Hi All

I have just read that umeboshi plums are very good to alkaline the blood, stimulates efficient detoxification by the kidneys and liver and boosts your immune system. The article discussed the author eating one plum each day while she was travelling overseas.

Although I am not travelling, I am keen to utilise the power of the umeboshi plum!! Do you think it would be ok for me to eat one plum a day? Should I start with one every second day? Can I just pop it into my mouth and eat it rather than using the plum in a home remedy beverage (eg ume-sho-ban or ume-sho-kuku). I would prefer to eat it whole as I don't actually mind the taste and the I just cannot drink the beverages listed above (I've tried and almost threw up).
