The Metabolic Typing Diet by William Wolcott and Trish Fahey. Very
interesting book. For autonomic dominants vegetables alkalinize and
meats acidify. However oxidative dominants get the opposite
reaction---vegetables acidify, and meats alkalinize.
"............the pH effect of any given food cannot be viewed in
"absolute" terms. Contrary to conventional wisdom, no food or nutrient
has an acid or alkaline effect on the body because of some qulaity
inherent in the foood or nutrient. Rather, the acid/alkaline effect of
foods and nutrients ont eh body are determined by their variable and
highly specific effects onthe various fundamental homeostatic controls
in different metabolic types."
The book contains a detailed questionnaire to help one figure out
their metabolic type, as well as detailed instructions on how to do test
diet adjustments to really fine tune diet for oneself.
Ironically, in trying to change to a healhier diet you may be doing
the reverse of what YOUR body needs. Incredibly to me, most people who
have adopted belief in vegetarianism or in a heavy meat diet, tend to
also adopt the belief, very rigidly that their particular belief system
somehow reflects human evolution, and that therefore the diet they
believe in is best for every single human on the planet. I have read
many articles defending and promoting the idea that 1) humans are
bilogically and evolutionarily vegans/vegetarians, and 2) humans are
biologically and evolutionarily carnivores. So far as I can tell, one
can compare GI functions and measure intestinal lengths ad nauseum to
prove either belief.

Thank you both for the information, but how do I figure out what
alkalizes MY body, since everyone does respond differently.
I do have one cup of coffe in the morning, I eat fruit and grains,
nuts, very little meat, mostly chicken baked, I have recently tried to
remove most of the dairy products, I was having lots of cheese, yogurt
and milk and cereal every morning, I eat lots of salads and soups and
vegetables, I drink lots of water. It havne't managed totally cutting
out the sugar, but I am trying.

A no meat diet is not best for everyone. What foods alkalize a body
depends on the body. Nothing works for everyone.

Hi there, Joni
Things like your symptoms will respond very quickly as a rule. DO
take in lots of CS - it won't hurt you - but do something about the
CAUSE before it is too late. Get into an Alkaline Diet. No meat, no
white anything - flour, sugar, rice. Especially, no coffee or tea.
