Re: Was Pepto, now metabolic diets

[Guest guest]

Looks like Bob gleaned the relevance from pretty much the same sources as

myself and more. Didn't see Metabolic Man, 10,000 Years from Eden there

which helped me understand Wolcott better. Am GF and nearly dairy free now.

Near Paleo.Wolcott and/or his editor may have taken the larger market,

kinder, gentler diet approach with limiting grains instead of eliminating.

Agree that an acid food can alkalinize some types and acidify others and

vice versa. Acid/ alkaline ash outside the body can be bunk either way to

about 50% of the people who eat it. Don't know specifically why myself other

than the supplements found required for type, balance out the body processes

and systems of the type along with the diet. There's type subdivisions

within types too. Nutrigenomics, genetic diet looks like the most accurate.

Wheather it bypasses the mechanism explanation, don't know.
