Re: Limu

[Guest guest]

This is what I have on it..... Limu is also the Hawaiian word for algae. Limu played an important part in the ancient Hawaiian diet. It was used to add flavor to an otherwise particularly bland diet of kalo (taro), 'uala (sweet potato), and 'ulu (breadfruit). Limu, together with sea salt

and mashed kukui nuts were the ingredients of 'inamona, a seasoning mixture much enjoyed by early Hawaiians. 'Inamona was used to season many dishes. It was the responsibility of women to gather limu in the tidepools while men would gather those kinds of limu that grew in areas of rough surf in the outer reefs. Limu is still enjoyed by Modern Hawaiians but has become increasingly difficult to find because of over-picking, pollution, and construction in watersheds. Many important kinds of limu grow best in

brackish water where fresh water empties into the ocean I seem to recall hawaii being one of the few places left where algae etc was not contaminated yet... but that was a year or two ago I read that.... As for tumors, I have not heard this ... but I would suggest Essiac (make your own)... I can attest to it helping with tumors.

I would like to know if anyone has any experience with it, please. Thanks.

Hi, !

Limu is the Hawaiian word for algae. It may be that limu is a kind of

kelp.

While I am not sure the fucoidans in kelp can cure cancer, I do

believe kelp and other algae/seaweed is an excellent thing for people

to eat, both those diagnosed with cancer and those not diagnosed with

the dis-ease.

There are various sources of fucoidans, apparently. Which one to

choose would have to do, I suppose with the amount of fucoidans in a

particular product, and the price of that product, as well as the

processing of the product and what may have been added to the product.

I was given a bag of kombu, which is the Japanese word for kelp, that

was shredded to the point where if one added it to hot water, it

became a kind of gelatinous drink. I would add just a bit of Braggs

aminos for flavor, and drink a cup of it each night. My wife could

barely stand to see me ingesting the slimy stuff. But I felt it was

very good for me, and I enjoyed the taste and even the texture.

But then I looked more closely at the ingredients list---it's unusual

for me not to immediately read ingredients in detail---and I saw that

there was MSG and refined sugar added. " Rats! " I thought. And I

stopped using the stuff. I have not been able to find the same thing

without the MSG and sugar added.

Hi Eliott,

Thanks so much for your response. I did a little

research also. Limu is a fucoidan from seaweed.

Fucoidans have been studied in the field of

glycoscience and are believed to have anti-tumor

properties and many other benefits.

Yes, those all must be considered. Plus which product

is getting the best results. Sometimes my head is

spinning from so much information.

Take care,
