Alkalinity was Re: fibromyalgia program, part one

[Guest guest]

(and anyone else interested),

Some areas in the body are supposed to be alkaline such as the cells

in muscle tissue, (about 7.4pH). Other aras in the body are supposed

to be acidic for example the stomach and colon.

When the pH in one area is upset it causes an imbalance in other

areas. So when the muscle tissue goes acid the stomach and colon

shift alkaline.

Many people w/FMS suffer from acid reflux. The problem is not that

the stomach is producing too much acid but that the pH of the stomach

acid is not low enough. So how do the treat it? antacids, further

increasing alkalinity. Well at least it doesn't hurt. But it is

interfering with the bodies ability to absorb certain vitamins and

minerals.

Acidophilus is one of the friendly bacteria that reside in the

colon. The name literally translates to acid loving. When the colon

pH goes alkaline acidophilus cannot thrive and until pH is restored

to the colon there is not going to be a good colony of friendly

bacteria there. It does make a nice environment for the overgrowth

of candida.

So what is the key to regaining acidity in the colon? restore

alkalinity to the cells. I try to explain this in the hypothesis

below.

All the best,
