Katarina, Ivan, Mike and ALL! Ivan...superlative post. You summed up all I have so far discovered.
Mike...while headed out for that organic unpasteurized acv, read up on the before meal cocktail recipe (I think it's Bragg's) of acv and raw honey. I can't remember exact proportions, something like a T of each in warm water, 1/2 hour before meals. (Anybody out there know for sure?) Bragg claimed it cures what ails you. There may be some magic pH balance in the combo. Sure couldn't hurt the average person who isn't avoiding honey.

However I also wonder about taking alkaline liquids and diluting digestive juices.. I felt so bad on coral calcium...and I don't know whether that was one of those mythical "healing crises" or what... >I wonder if the vinegar helps in the digestive process but can be too much >if you are already leaning toward acidity? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Or...does the body process acvinegar as an acid at all?> >My doctor wanted me to take alkala water between meals to bring up >alkalinity -- but as someone with a parasite already I worried about it >making my stomach too alkaline, so I haven't been doing it. >~~~~~~~~~~~ Why does your doc want you to bring up your alkalinity? >Who knows -- I wish someone did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh so do I! The more I read, the more I think much of it is unsubstantiated hype. I wonder if this whole alkaline fad of the moment is just a way to sell products. Nobody presents any real information to back up what they say... on either side. > >Ps. Blastocystis still flourishing but now on a new regime that seems to be >working.
