Dave,

We really need to see some scientific evidence about this " alkalizing " of the

body because the body is naturally alkaline. It has to be alkaline or a person

gets very sick and soon dies.

I got my pH off the scale at one point and the cancer in my neck just

kept growing.

Also, I wonder about spending good money on a " water alkalizing machine " when

one can add just a little baking soda to one's water if one wants to make it

alkaline.

Again, I feel that if we just eat a good diet with plenty of

vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and good oils, and drink reverse

osmosis water or spring water, we need not worry about how " alkaline "

the body is.

My opinion.

And, I've heard from an ND who had a patient who was TOO alkaline, so

much so that some brain functions eventually went awry and the fellow

was institutionalized.. Too much of almost anything is BAD for us!!

Thx,

Dave

Well, exactly, Dave. That is the danger. I did the " cesium high pH

protocol " a couple years ago, and I got my pH to 8+(off the scale),

and I got dizzy, very nauseous, ran a fever and the tumor in my neck

did not stop growing.

The body must maintain a very narrow pH range or it suffers terribly

or dies. That is why I suggest we eat healthfully and not, as the

fellow you mention did, get bent out of shape about " alkalizing " our

bodies.

I consistently have a salivary pH of at least 7.6, usually higher,

and I do not do anything more than eat my diet of lots of vegetables,

fruits, nuts, seeds, oils + algae and alfalfa tablets + lots of

reverse osmosis water + regular, moderate daily exercise and avoid

unnecessary stress.

My pH takes care of itself.

Best of health,

Elliot
