Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 Hmmm...does anyone think that, since my body is too alkaline, that drinking acidic selzer could help that??? Just a thought. From: PEARLY2@... Reply-candidiasis candidiasis Subject: Seltzer Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 12:55:25 -0000 Yes carbonated water is better, but because it is carbonated it is not ph neutral. I think it is very acidy, which is what we are to avoid. > -----Original Message----- I drink unflavored seltzer and carbonated mineral water. I don;t know what it is, but somehow, I need that carbonation. There must be something to drink that is refreshing. I really am not crazy about water at all. What about herbal iced tea? I use to like Red Zinger and also peppermit. How is that? I don't want to throw myself into another crisis. I am just getting over the Sprite.

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2001 Report Share Posted May 18, 2001 Peppermint tea is very good and calming to the stomach as well. Becca > What about herbal iced tea?

I notice that some come with salt and some do not? Which > would be better or acceptable? +++Hi , Selzer is not on the list since it is not an acceptable liquid, which I don't have time to explain. There are no commercial bottled drinks that ARE acceptable. If any were acceptable I would have included them on my list. These are the acceptable liquids/drinks on my list, and some are homemade: - Bee's Egg Drink - Broths - Swiss water processed decaf coffee - Egg Milk - Tea (but not too much since they make your body lose water along with minerals) - Good water from your tap that is filtered with a charcoal filter like Britta or Pur Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it any better?? +++Hi , Seltzer water is high in sodium salicylate, which a kind of salt, so like baking soda it is diuretic making your body lose water along with minerals. It is also carbonated by carbon dioxide. Carbonation is created by pumping carbon dioxide into water or other liquid. Carbon dioxide is a waste product of cellular and food metabolism, so the body works hard to expel it. So why would anyone want to further add a waste product to their body? Carbonated beverages also burden the body and it is hard on your teeth. As the carbonated water fizzes and bubbles in the stomach, it can cause a buildup of air, and this can lead to loud belching. This belching can sometimes become uncontrollable. This buildup of air can also cause abdominal distension, or bloating. If enough carbonated water is consumed, you can suffer from painful, chronic bloating. The carbonation also causees calcium loss in the bones through a three-stage process: 1. The carbonation irritates the stomach. 2. The stomach " cures " the irritation the only way it knows how. It adds the only antacid at its disposal: calcium. It gets this from the blood. 3. The blood, now low on calcium, replenishes its supply from the bones. If it did not do this, muscular and brain function would be severely impaired. Perrier is a natural spring water, however they also carbonate it like they do seltzer water and other carbonated drinks.
