Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 This happens with me too - I haven't researched it or worked it out yet, but what I've picked up so far is that - sometimes it is to do with the kidneys not being able work properly in regulating acid/alkaline balance. - sometimes it is about not enough digestive enzymes - sometimes it is about not enough protein. O blood types particularly are supposed to need meat or they tend to be too alkaline. - that respiratory clue from the link Michele posted is actually quite neat - chronic low level hypervenitlation has a long list of symptoms and learning something like Buteyko breathing can clear up a lot of problems.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 FWIW: I've done some reading up on altitude sickness and found it quite fascinating in regards to the biochemical processes involved in getting you sick. I found it fascinating because respiratory problems is a big part of cystic fibrosis (my official diagnosis) but doctors and people in the CF community mostly don't talk about why and how CF actually makes you ill. When I try to ask 'how does that work?', I get treated like I am being disrespectful or something. But it looks to me like some of the biochemical processes involved in altitude sickness give some neat clues to how the body gets so extremely out of whack with CF and suggests that other respiratory problems can have substantial impact on biochemistry. It also suggests a stronger link between the respiratory process and the digestive process than most conventional medical treatments seem to assume. Respiratory problems and digestive problems are both huge for CF. I feel strongly that there is more of a link between the two than is generally believed.
