Bob, An most appreciative of this info. I have no scientific background and find it hard to understand, but am trying. I have included my comments/questions below. Anyone who wants to jump in please do.
~^^V^^~ ================== Lets look at the Kreb`s cycle. If you wish you can go back to the >postings on *cell respiration* since the Kreb cycle is a part of it. ~~~~~~~~~ Can't find but am very interested...would be grateful if you would send to me. We start with: > Citric acid to > Cis-aconitic acid to > Isocitric acid to > Oxalosuccinic acid to > Alpha-ketoglutaric acid to > Succinic acid to > Fumaric acid to > Malic acid to > Oxaloacetic acid to > Pyruvic acid to > Citric acid our starting point. ~~~~~~~~~ Interesting how many of these are available as supplements. Malic acid of course is used for CFS. Is that I wonder because of a breakdown in the Krebs cycle? Recall that pyruvic acid was produced from the process of *glycolysis* >that was discussed in cell respiration. In respiration, pyruvic acid is oxidized by the addition of water and >the removal of hydrogen in a complex series of reactions known >collectively as the Kreb`s cycle. The complex series was listed above. >At each step of the way hydrogen atoms are split off to produce energy >in the form of ATP and oxygen, as each turn of the cycle goes around CO2 >and water are released and more pyruvic acid starts the cycle again. ~~~~~~~ So is this how microhydrin works, adding hydrogen?> Drinking citric acid adds more energy into the system. > The step by step oxidation of glucose (Kreb`s cycle) into H2O and CO2 >has another inportant fuction. ~~~~~~~ According to the oxygen therapists, in cancer (and perhaps other illnesses) the cell is damanged and can not longer respire and oxidize glucose, but rather gets energy from fermentation, which is inferior. It sounds like the oxidation process of the cell is critical to health. The intermediate compounds formed help >with the metabolism of other foods. It makes possible the use of >(metabolism of) fats, proteins and carbohydrates (sounds like the three >basic foods) by the body. If there is any interest in a more detailed >posting on the citric cycle (Kreb`s cycle) let me know. This is really >basic knowledge of how our bodies work on a second to second basis. Of >course we also know that taking CS helps this process to run more >smoothly, as with any other *trace element*. Trace elements are used by >enzymes to promote their functions. > ~~~~~~ So it sounds like...in a healthy body the Krebs cycle works....but perhaps in an unhealthy body there is a break in the chain...and acid does not get cycled as it should. Which means energy is not produced. Which could also mean there is acid in the body which should not be there. So could this be why an ill body is more acidic? If so, then simply alkalising would not truly help the problem. So the key may be whether the cell is healthy enough to perform its function...or whether there is a breakdown in the Krebs cycle at any juncture? ~^^V^^~ > -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
