Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I have heard that drinking alkaline water isn't necessarily good for us. I read this on Dr. Mercola. I think having a good water purifer is important, even putting filter on the shower head.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 > Make sure you're using Andy Cutler's safe dosing of ALA & protocol. Yes, but said that she had no reaction to taking ALA. That would indicate to me that ALA may not even be helpful to her. The primary purpose for ALA in a heavy metal detox is to remove mercury from the body, but there could be many other metals or parasites contributing to ES.

Saying that we are " too acidic " is meaningless without referencing which part of the body you are talking about. For example, the blood CANNOT be acidic, because it is kept in a very narrow (alkaline) range. Also, the stomach NEEDS to be acidic during digestion, otherwise you won't digest your food properly. I'd think that drinking alkaline water would interfere with digestion (although it'd be okay on an empty stomach). Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't pretend to understand the pH issue. I know that there are people advocating various things, but these things aren't necessarily correct or applicable to us. That said, I have gotten temporary ES symptom relief by drinking alkaline water (water mixed with Megahydrate powder). But this also causes me stomach bloat, so my digestive tract is not that happy with this solution. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 I think the Cutler protocol is too much for ES people. I think a much lower dose is better so the metals and crap isn't moved around the body from organ to organ, stomach to brain. Rebuilding the stomach lining and blood brain barrier should be first before any chelation. Research what supports the liver getting its own glutamine production up as well as supplementing with glutamine powder first. There are libraries of information on this and I am in overwhelm with my own story and research into this and don't have a definitive answer yet but know that chelation is not the best thing to do first when sick.

The Cutler protocol doesn't force you into a high dose... in fact, there are some people on the discussion groups that only take 1 mg of ALA every 3 hours, which is an absurdly low dose! (in my local drugstore, they sell 600mg ALA capsules, which is 600 times more than what these people are taking) The recommended " typical " start dose is 12mg of ALA every 3 hours, however I think ES folks would be wise to start with less than that -- maybe somewhere in the 1 - 6 mg range.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 > Your body is ideally 7.4 pH. And that's also when the body will detox > best. You cannot assign a single pH value to the entire body. The body has different pH's throughout. The ideal pH in one part of the body is different than it is in another part of the body. I guess when talking about pH, people should stick to something easily measurable and potentially meaningful, like early morning salivary pH. I think urine pH is largely useless, as it varies depending on what you've been eating the day before. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 Interesting; I have osteoporosis. Have to read up. Loni From: <@...> Subject: Re: Why then am I so sick? Date: Friday, February 18, 2011, 1:38 PM Â I think the pH-discussion is extremely interesting, and yes, definitely complicated! Well anything that is holistic is easy to comprehend imo! There's a difference between the pH of water you drink and the effect on your body, raising your pH-value is imo more complicated than consuming alkaline water/food. Your body will do anything to make sure blood is always in perfect pH-range indeed, but if it is too acidic due to toxins for instance it does rob minerals from your bones and/or organs, to make it more alkaline... That may cause degenerative bones (= osteoporosis = low pH/voltage) or degenerative organs (= low pH/voltage). Dr Jerry Tennant has got a very good insight on pH/voltage. And he links that with every aspect of health/illness. Imo his theory/book is the best out there to give you insight on health. I'm not a fan of his biomodulator-therapy by the way. I've posted here on Tennant already quite a lot, a couple of months ago. Anybody who wants to read more about this read my older posts, buy his book or go to his website for a short intro and click on integrative medicine: www.tennantinstitute.com Tennant says that chronic sickness (in any way) is always accompanied with globally too low pH/acidic (= too little voltage). Tennant measures that by a voltmeter on different energy points (quite similar to the chakra points) on the body, he takes the average of these points. That's why it is so difficult to get better if you're chronically ill, your body hasn't get enough voltage/energy/chi to get the things done. In that case he recommends to work slowly on raising body voltage (directly and indirectly). This also explains why a lot of people can't detox as fast as healthy people, or why they (me included!) have so many side effects from every therapy. Side effects that are often worse than the cure... Tennant also checks pH/voltage locally. You can have local areas of inflammation (= alkaline = too much voltage) and body parts that are degenerating (= too acidic = too little voltage). Pain is always related to imperfect pH/voltage locally. Health problems are always related to imperfect pH/voltage locally or in the entire body... > > > I have heard that drinking alkaline water isn't necessarily good for us. > > I read this on Dr. Mercola.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2011 Report Share Posted February 18, 2011 So how do you heal the blood brain barrier? I react to ALA but need to detox mercury. Problem is I can't really detox it after it is mobilized. catch 22. Loni -- On Fri, 2/18/11, McAfee <amcafeerr@...> wrote: From: McAfee <amcafeerr@...> Subject: Re: Re: Why then am I so sick?

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I have the suppliment. Why eye drops for knees instead of of capsule form? From: <@...> Subject: Re: Why then am I so sick? Date: Friday, February 18, 2011, 7:29 PM Â What seems to help my painful knees recently is Hyalorunic Eyedrops... http://www.pingueculae.com/index.php/eye-drops/134-hyaluronic-eye-drops-suppleme\ nts Supplementing with Ca + Mg + Vit. K1 + Vit. K2 + Vit. D3 + Glucosamin is the most commonly recommended supplement therapy for osteoporosis I think. But that's in theory and imo with every supplement you take you can get side effects, it's always more complicated! Taking Ca supplements is highly alkalizing, as Tennant recommends for all chronically sick people (low pH/voltage/acidic), although too much Ca will have side effects probably for nerves/... as somebody mentioned here today. > > > > > I have heard that drinking alkaline water isn't necessarily good for us. > > > I read this on Dr. Mercola.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Hi Marc and the original poster to this question,  The original poster asked: > Why are most pushing lowering PH? I read somewhere the body needs to be > acidic side to detox?  lowered pH IS acidic pH. Higher pH is alkaline pH: pH under 7= acidic; pH over 7=alkaline Marc says: " I won't pretend to understand the pH issue. I know that there are people advocating various things, but these things aren't necessarily correct or applicable to us. "  Au, contrare! Voltage and pH has everything to do with us. You take hydrogen supps sometimes, Marc. These make your body more alkaline. We have discussed this many times here in the past. One of the supps which seems almost universally helpful for us on this forum has been hydrogen supplementation. Marc goes onto say: " That said, I have gotten temporary ES symptom relief by drinking alkaline water (water mixed with Megahydrate powder). But this also causes me stomach bloat, so my digestive tract is not that happy with this solution. "  Well, yes, we sometimes DO have problems with alkalinity, especially, digestively. I personally drank alkaline water for several years and think it was instrumental in me regaining my health. I then took hydrogen caps for a while after I quit the water. When my health is flagging, I go back to taking the hydrogen and it helps. Hydrogen supplementation had EVERYTHING to do with my getting over CFS and getting my mitochondria working again. I notice over time that I really NEED the extra alkalinity and it is a therapy I keep going back to. I have never heard that acidity is good for anything but digestion. We are too acidic due to all the crap we live with in modern life. It isn't rocket science  tho sometimes it is a bit confusing due to the particular parts of the body people reference for pH and voltage.  My 2 cents, Diane From: Marc <marc@...> Subject: Re: Re: Why then am I so sick?
