Someone famous once said "you can't be too rich or too thin..." (No...not Calista Flockhart...but good guess...)
In some circles the current truism is "...you can't be too alkaline...." Check out the lightheartedly titled "Akalize or Die"... But... I think I just got too alkaline. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's the story. I was working from the premises in BIOBALANCE by Rudolph Wiley... fascinating book on diet based on BLOOD ph... Whole thing too complex to explain but briefly... Wiley believes blood pH being even slightly off causes profound disturbances and symptoms... has diets for being "off" at either end and for those in the middle... says blood pH CANNOT be tested by testing urine, saliva, etc.... I had blood tested at hospital but results confusing.... ...trial and error got me on one diet... ... felt much better for months... diet very alkalizing... fruits, veggies, etc... i followed religiously... did well. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Added coral calcium. Felt a bit worse. Detox...? added buteyko breathing... more oxygen to tissues.... ... worse and worse.... Detox ... ? and worse.... ...feeling so bad this past week...went to md for xrays...long time since did that... ~~~~~~~~~~~ body happy on diet for months...now CRAVING something else... ended up this last week in mexican restaurant eating gooey things... ...felt better... (?) next night found myself mysteriously in chinese restaurant... ...felt even better... (?) stopped coral calcium.... ended up NEXT night in restaurant having meal with wine and coffee...(...long time...15 years... since either...) felt fantastic... (?) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Conclusions: 1. either coral calcium polluted... possible... symptoms very like those from toxins... therefor going off relieved symptoms... 2. or...it really was detox... 3. or...my blood got too alkaline... and things i ate this past week a temporary "fix"... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Of course there is a 4th... that mexican and chinese food...wine and coffee... have healing properties... will however set that aside for now...:) ~~~~~~~~~~~ have real questions about coral calcium... my digestion adversely affected while on it... an alkaline liquid going into stomach... stomach needs to be acidic to digest... confusing.... could it be polluted? company claims no one ever had this reaction... (they always tell me that...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Or.... coral calcium fine... if used by person on normal diet... but on top of my months on alkalizing diet was too much.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In any case i may have proven Rudolph's premise that a slight imbalance in blood pH causes big symptoms... (urine pH went up during this time but not unduly...nothing for alarm ... again Wiley says not indicator of blood pH...) Now have to figure out new diet... perhaps one based on coffee and wine... :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) got to admit eating "normally" fun... haven't done it in years and years... ~^^V^^~ -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
