Re: Histamine Levels and Hives -- Connection?

I only take it for heartburn. I take lemon juice or apple cider

vinegar between meals and has helped me tremendously.

The baking soda is just 'another' way to alkalinize the body when it

is too acidic.

All baking SODA is aluminum free. Baking POWDER is a mix of baking soda

and cream of tartar, and many brands do have aluminum.

Hey All,

i just want to second the " lemons turn alkaline in the body

comment " . What we often think of as acidic is not. (Bread turns

acidic in the body.) I am pretty sure if you do some research, you

will find a list of acidic foods. (Any nutritionist should have this

as well.) If you'd like to learn more about the cleansing power of

lemons you can check out the book on the lemonade diet at any Whole

Foods for about $7.00. It is reffered to as the master clense. (I

used to do it prior to learning I was Hypo. Not recomending this,

but the info on how you can heal the body and restore PH with lemons

and limes is great info.

But didn't I read correctly that you were recommending baking soda be

taken before meals? When it WOULD interfere with digestion?

Sol, sorry you are po'd!

You, me and ALL of us have to take what we read by alternative

medicine practitioners, conventional medicine practitioners, and

snake oil salesman, and FILTER out the knowledge from the hype.

Having said that, when you try something and IT WORKS, then I feel

you must share it with the rest of your fellow sufferers.

Of course alkalinizing your body is not a cure all.....but if your

stomach produces too much acid (and yes, there are some of us with

too much) then baking soda works like a charm. I am proof of that.

If you have low stomach acid, of course you would not be doing this.

I think it's important to test before taking anything, and I agree

that no one should blanket say " do this only'.

But the fact that it doesn't work for everyone, does not negate the

fact that it does indeed work for some.
