Guest guest Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Anyone read about this stuff. I purchased another book on it today called the ph miracle. It is pretty complex. The basic principle is that when the saliva and urine ph are too acidic, the body becomes acidic and it overgrows bacteria especially yeast and bad bacteria and the body becomes sick and allergic. It also says that when the body is too acidic it looses minerals. I bought some ph strips and was blown away at how acidic we were, we barely changed the color on the strip. This is the primary reason we backed off on the probiotics. Anyway. it is very interesting.

Try a bath with epsom salt and baking soda one night and see if you have the same result. The theory is that the magnesium is releasing too much calcium which has a hyper effect - and the baking soda slows down the process by alkalinizing the gi tract a bit. Try getting lots of probiotics on board too.> >> > Greetings.
