Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 I got a booklet in the mail this week about a whole bunch of natural healing, treatments, etc. One of the discussions was on osteoporosis. Thought the group might find the following of interest: ---------------- Women with high-alkaline systems have stunning bone quality and high energy levels. For most, every time we eat a steak or take an rx or get stressed, our system neutralizes the resulting excess acid by borrowing from our alkaline bank: which is the minerals stored in our bones. Nuts, rice, honey, fish, and many veg's can restock our alkaline bank. Or you can take " Alka-Aid " a mix of potassium & sodium bicarbonate available in health food stores. Milk is so acidic, it can make the problem worse. Women with the highest calcium consumption from dairy products have more fractures than those who drink less milk. Mild exercise will reduce risk of fractures by 25%. Soy foods (or 50-150mg daily of isoflavones supplement) will help protect not only agnst bone loss, but breast cancer as well. ------------------------------ This is not the first time I have heard good things about maintaining a high pH level (alkaline vs acidic balance) in the body. Elsewhere I previously read that pH above (can't remember the number now) is an indication of problems down the road with various types of chronic and/or autoimmune diseases. THAT article suggested using litmus paper strips to test your pH level. Someone else on here might have better details.................
