Thank you for your answer, we are drinking lemon juice to alkalize our bodies,but i question the preservatives I had not thought about "lemon oil" being bad for you. I guess we will have to resort to using real lemons, by the way what other foods can we injest to alkalize our bodies besides apple cider vinegar, which we take about 4 tea. a day? -------------- Original message from "Ed Kasper" <[email protected]>: --------------
Just because it says "lemon oil" does not make it natural or safe. All oils are processed and therein lies the culprit. There extraction process most likely uses chemicals in the process - which are not disclosed (withheld) . For a reference on oils and processing - see Paul Pitchford "Healing with Whole Foods" . Pretty depressing as even extra-virgin olive oil may hide a shady past. Funny how a label "Real Lemon" makes one think of fresh lemons. If you are drinking this stuff for your health then consider using fresh lemons, apple cider, mother-of-vinegar, or kombucha __all live foods__. All simple, easy to make at home and mostly available locally. Not sure how CS or EIS would react to a mix, but could be taken a few hours apart. Ed Kasper LAc.

My question what are these preseratives??are they safe? there is no mention of their strength. I noticed on a 32oz bottle that the preseratives were 1/40 of 1% for each of the three. My bottle is 48 oz sodium benzoate Implicated as an immune suppressant, even as an agent in AIDs for some people, similar to benzene. Acts as a nutrient for AIDs causing parasites according to Clark if I remember right. However it is in lots of food if you check the labels. sodium metabisulfite and sodium sulfite(preservatives) Not sure of toxcidity, but would likely form silver sulfite if mixed with EIS. I would expect them to be hard on the kidneys like sulfa drugs are. Perhaps Mr. Harris would have additional information on these. ..lemon oil. Natural. Should be safe. Marshall thanks
