Guest guest Posted January 10, 2002 Report Share Posted January 10, 2002 Thanks, Sally. You always provide the best advice. At any one time the balance in our saliva MUST be consitent as we cannot survive with even a slight deviance. In " Food is Your Best Medicine " by Bieler, he reports measuring one's digestion and similation by various means/tests. That is, he attempts to find out how the " body " is working; is it digesting the foods properly? It's funny how we could think that by putting anything in our stomachs we could totally affect our systems. The stomach is acidic, the better to digest meat, and the intestines are alkaline, the better to digest plant material. They create a balance. The argument about what to eat to affect one's system sounds like the cholesterol argument: you can control the body function by direct external means. With cholesterol, the body makes up to 90% of what we have. So 10 PERCENT comes from what we eat. So how can it be affected by eating foods high or low in cholesterol? The body demands to regulate itself given the least chance and requires severe disruption from us to upset it. Which, unfortunately, the " modern " diet has done. Thank goodness someone like Sally cared enough about wap to publish NT to help the rest of us. /anne > Price wrote about acid-alkaline balance.
