Has anyone read and studied "The Acid-Alkaline Diet" ? What is.........?

Question

your experience, knowledge, or opinion regrding this subject/diet?

Answer 1

As far back in American medical history as the Macrobiotic Movement, the concept of a complementarity in the body and foods between an expansive and contractive process, a yin and yang force or quality, or an acidic or alkaline set of realities, has been an accepted reality. I think it is a fact that all foods have either an alkaline or acidic reaction within the body. The problem is that this is not something that lends itself to empirical testing. One the miracle of digestion begins and "bread becomes blood," there is a profound alchemical transformation of a substances' properties, and this reflects well into the paradoxes you find in acid/alkaline or yin/yang manifestations, e.g. citrus fruit that taste acidic are profoundly alkalinizing to the tissues. Or, milk which tastes sweet soft and alkaline, has a very acidic and hardening effect on the organism.

In a nut shell, I would assume eating alkaline is predestined in our metabolism, and it is a good idea to exclude the commonly acidic foods that our modern food industry has invented with chemical invention. But the focus shouldn't be on micromanaging numbers...how you feel is essential, and making sure that the intent in the food act is there, that the food is local and organic, and these particularities are far more important than whether one has it the projected number of 7.5 alkalinity, etc.

Answer 2

I agree with it. Alkaline is what causes you're body to be more susepeptiable to cancer. The less you have in you the better you are health wise, when it comes to life threatening dieseases. Spelling is off sorry:)

Answer 3

no, an alkaline system is the only place that all diseases cannot grow..if your body is alkaline, then the diseases cannot get larger, or survive.
