Guest guest Posted November 27, 1999 Report Share Posted November 27, 1999 ----- Original Message ----- From: rcrosby <rcrosby@...> <bowel cleanseonelist> Hello all About acidity and digestion...... in Stanley Burroughs' book Mastercleanse he says tells a man with a very bad stomach ulcer to use his cleanse which includes fresh lemon juice, maple syrup & cayenne pepper. This man, being in a lot of pain, is obviously concerned that the acidity of the lemon juice will make matters worse, but goes ahead anyway. Stanley later says in his book, " even though the lemon is an acid fruit, it becomes alkaline as it is digested and assimilated. It is, in fact, our best aid toward proper alkaline balance. There is no danger of too much acid! " . The man's ucler is healed in 10 days, blah blah blah (and everyone lives happily ever after!!!) Just thought I'd throw that one in. xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 I see the recommendations for lime/lemon/etc. in take to control stomach acidity; while this will truly help, be aware that it leaches the magnesium/calcium from the body to make those acids turn alkaline, so maybe care should be taken in doing this for a long term.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 This is true however there are many other food factors that come into play. Perhaps one should limit all to do one in excess. http://www.acu-cell.com/acn.html The calcium to phosphorus ratio in bone is about 2.5:1, while the ideal dietary phosphorus / calcium ratio is estimated to be about 1:1. Many dietary factors reduce calcium uptake, such as foods high in oxalic acid (spinach, rhubarb, chocolate), which can interfere with calcium absorption by forming insoluble salts in the gut. Phytic acid, or phytates found in whole grain products, foods rich in fiber, excess caffeine from coffee, colas, tea..., as well as certain medications may all reduce the absorption of calcium and other minerals, or leach calcium from bone. Normal intake of protein, fats, and acidic foods help calcium absorption, however high levels of these same sources increase calcium loss. --- In , Bag <@...> wrote: > > I see the recommendations for lime/lemon/etc. in take to control stomach acidity; while this will truly help, be aware that it leaches the magnesium/calcium from the body to make those acids turn alkaline, so maybe care should be taken in doing this for a long term. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
