Re: Different Approach alkaline/acidity

" The whole acid alkaline thing is a myth "

Well, hold on. If you were acid where you were supposed to be alkaline,

or vice versa, or if there were a SHIFT in the overall level, you don't

think that would be a problem? Not to mention that blood pH is critical.

(Any basic student of biochemistry knows about alkalosis/acidosis.) The

original post even recognizes these things, so it's kind of

self-contradictory.

Beyond that, this issue may just be another way of expressing, not to

mention an important aspect of, BALANCE. And THAT'S pretty fundamental.

That acid alkaline thing is a myth

1. Saliva- should be acidic because it will kill bacteria in the mouth

Oral thrush and other mouth bacteria grow when it is to alkaline 2.Urine

already explained

3. Intestines-

need to be acidic for the good bacteria to grow properly 4.Blood- body

regulates blood ph- if even out of a small narrow range that is

regulated, you would die instantly.

Bob and Sally,

Where can I find this outside of the forum. I know a fully akaline body would be

a dead one ,but have read on many websites to go toward 80% akalinie helps kill

cancer. I'll try to retrace my steps tomorrow and find one or two again.

Macriobiotics deals with the issue. For starters, there's a classic book

" Acid & Alkaline " by Herman Aihara.
