Re: alkaling/acid balance and MMS

[Guest guest]

That is very interesting you mention the acid/alkaline issue. I feel like the MMS is making me more acidic and then my head starts to itch. When I drink some baking soda in water to raise my ph my head calms down. Whereas I used to think it was killing the good bacteria, I now think it is an acid/alkaline issue. I have a hypothesis: If you can take baking soda to neutralize the MMS, then the MMS must be acidifying your body. Maybe it is not the antioxidants in the vitamin C that neutralizing the MMS but instead acting to alkalinize the body and thereby neutralizing it.

I only take the MMS at night now. I go to bed and my head feels fine. I wake up and it is itching like hell. (I have also tested my ph in the morning and it is way low!) I drink some baking soda water and it gets better. This would also explain why I can take the MMS with my green tea and DMSO and it still works. If it were the antioxidants that neutralized it, the DMSO and green tea would have rendered it ineffective.

I may be more sensitive to this ph effect than others like you Kathy, but this theory seems to make a lot of sense to me in explaining my scalp issues.

I would love to hear others thought on this theory.

-- [ ] Re: Why Going Raw Cures Cancer, and what else can be done...

Thanks, , this is Storm and Jinjee's site. They are raw vegan, her

story is fantastic, how she went from a fat German to a slim vegan.

I've been following their lives for about 10 years now.

Storm is also remarkable, he is a body builder and totally vegan, which

shows you you don't have to eat meat to bulk up with muscle.

I don't disagree with this article, and I think it applies not only to

cancer but to so many diseases. We really need to alkalyze our bodies.

My urine was acid for years no matter what I ate, it was the HCV

causing it. Now that I'm taking MMS, I have alkaline urine again.

You have a point, . The MMS does make my head itch, but I think

it's from yeast. MMS doesn't kill yeast very well. And I know that my

blood showed acid conditions when I was last tested in December.

But still, the urine is acidic in the morning and alkaline in the

evening, which is the way it is supposed to be, each level peaking

around 6, am for acid and pm for alkaline.

I thought it was from yeast too. But as soon as I take the the baking soda in the morning it goes away. And my vagina has felt better lately. I feel I am getting some good yeast die-off from the MMS latlely. Maybe it is a combination. {{shrug}}.

Last night I went to a party and had 2 glasses of wine. I had a lot of yeast die-off this morning and slept for 11 hours. My head hardly itches right now though.

Hi ,

MMS doesn't directly acidify - it breaks open acidic pathogens like

bad bacteria, virii, etc., resulting in lower pH. When/if it's ever

through doing that, it will then be easier stay at a higher pH, if you

feel better at that pH.

Thank you for clarifying that. So my theory wasn't too far off, just the mechanism.

I think what the misunderstanding is, is that MMS is acid, therefore

it makes the body acid. This is not necesarily true.

If you look at a chart of what food make the body acid and which make

it alkaline, you'll be surprised to see acid fruits are alkalizing.

http://home.bluegrass.net/~jclark/alkaline_foods.htm

is a pretty good article and chart.

Interesting theory. I think I am more confused.

-- [ ] Re: alkaling/acid balance and MMS

Or....would it make baking soda an acidifier?

What happens, as I understand it, is that the body makes its own pH,

which is generally the opposite of the eaten food.

If you eat acid, the body counters with alkaline.

If you eat alkaline, the body counters with acid.

The body tries to maintain a pH in the healthy range.

Taking Tums is counterproductive, IMHO. Your stomach needs to digest,

which requires HCL, hydrochloric acid, and you're cumping a

neutralizer in there.....which will cause the stomach to produce more

acid to counter it.

Just my 2 cents.

Actually from what I have read about 90% of people who think they have too much acid indigestion are actually acid deficient. You can tell if after a meal you feel acid reflux or such by consuming some apple cider vinegar. It should resolve the problem immediately.

-- Re: [ ] Re: alkaling/acid balance and MMS

It would not surprise me at all to find that the body tries to maintain

a certain alkalinity, in fact I'm sure it does.

But I guess it doesn't always work or we would all have the proper

alkalinity.

I do know that if I have any kind of burning in my stomach (heartburn or

indigestion) a teaspoon of baking soda in about 4 oz of water will cure

it. If the burning is very bad there will be a very large belch shortly

after drinking it. Then all is fine until I eat something I shouldn't or

don't eat at all.

Because of finding baking soda I no longer take a perscription drug for

acid reflux and I no longer reflux at night when I go to bed.

Before baking soda I would get the reflux as soon as I got horizontal.

Now I don't even have to take it all the time, just take it as needed.

Guess I'm one of the 10%. I tried the apple cider vinegar thing and it

just made things worse. For me the baking soda resolves the problem

immediately.

For what it is worth, if you get some pH paper and check your

oral pH an hour after lunch, if it is less than 6.0, the baking soda

should be helpful. If it is higher than 6.4 - 6.6, I would be careful

doing baking soda, which is an alkalinizer. You might have a

hiatal hernia also, and sleeping with a bit of of slant in the upper

body might help.

I think there can be more to reflux than just acidic or alkaline

stomach. I think hypochloridia is more probable for me, but I get

reflux regardless of the contents of my stomach. ACV did nothing, and

HCL tablets came up and hurt my throat like holy hell. Baking soda

temporarily calms the level of acidity coming up and PPI meds keep the

acid lower but over time caused more reflux overall. This is my

biggest problem and I have been fighting it with all my might for the

past 3 years. I think it has more to do with what's going on in my

small intestine that's pushing the stuff up. My point is that I think

hypochloridia is a much more common problem that hyper, but depending

on how much reflux someone gets, temporary patches of alkalinity seems

to do the trick, but I think the base of the problem is in the small

intestine.

Hi Greg,

Several years ago I did a colon cleanse using the Yerba Prima products.

It was difficult to do but afterwards my chiropractor said that my

hiatal hernia problem was much improved. I know that when I'm backed up

in the colon, my GERD is much worse. So I think you may have a point

there.
