It has always been acid. I posted a couple of months ago that all
  cancer patients are highly alkalized and suffer from a loss of
  appetite. I suggested that anyone with cancer should start taking
  hydrochloric acid by mouth or IV. preferably IV. I am 87 and have
  been taking unpasturized apple cider vinegar daily for as long as
  I can remember. I went 50 years without seeing a doctor. Vinegar
  is known to kill worms instantly, since most parasites are a form
  of worm, I have never had any symptons of parasites. You can't tell
  by Ph if you are alkalized or not because a lot of toxins and waste
  matter are different forms of acid and give a false reading. 
  Hydrochloric acid is the only acid the body produces.
  Hope this helps.
