Re: Probiolics need lower pH?

[Guest guest]

Dr. Mercola will jump on the new bandwagon of products from time to time. Good

thing you are thinking before you purchase. I hope people have answers for you.

Typically, there are many options aside from what he sells on his site.

my own personal view is the PH is difficult to meddle with. stomach ph is

supposed to be very low at certain times. if not, you won't digest your food.

ph is different in the small intestine and large intestine. overalkalinity in

the gi tract is very likely to cause a number of issues, including poor

digestion and candida overgrowth. I think its better to focus on a eating a

great diet, and not worry about attempting to manipulate ph, but that is just

me.

I've managed to substantially change my PH. I am not specifically aware of any

particular impact of PH on probiotics. (I am not saying there isn't one. Just

that I don't really know of one.) I don't take probiotic supplements. I eat

organic yogurt. My understanding is that organic yogurt has more variety of

flora than regular yogurt.

I do know my gut generally works better since getting excess acidity under

control. But I also worked hard at eating the right foods and oils (and

avoiding problem foods and oils). My experience has been that relying too

heavily on alkaline drinks screws up the PH of the stomach without doing enough

for the PH of the tissues. Eating the right foods and oils doesn't seem to hit

the PH of the stomach as hard but does more good for the PH of the tissues. It

takes time to do it that way but it seems to be the best way to get around the

fact that the stomach does need to be adequately acidic to digest food, so you

don't want to alkalinize your stomach too much while working on alkalinizing

your tissues.

There are a few things about PH balance on my website if you are

interested/haven't seen it yet. Start with http://healthgazelle.com/ph.shtml and

there are four other pages listed under this page in the menu.

HTH.

Do you have pH strips?

As a rule, the pH of the gut IS acidic, and the bacteria produces more acids, so

any time you are eating meats, unfermented foods, cooked foods, etc. you will

probably need to supplement because they will die off.

Have you looked at the book " The pH Miracle " ?

Well, I've been reading " Cancer-Free " by , and he, along with others in

the beat cancer naturally area say that cancer won't grow in an alkaline

environment. Is it possible to increase your alkalinity generally (blood,

organs) and not in your digestive system? That seems impossible because all the

means I've heard of to increase alkalinity (which is also a feature of many

water filters)have to be swallowed. I'm confused about this.

Yes, it's possible. One thing I do that helps is I use alkaline, non-toxic

cleaners and I do some things transdermally. I also addressed this issue in a

post earlier this evening.

Good night.

Yes, I have pH strips. Mine is staying at about 6.1 (before I started to change

it & now yet) despite starting a water filter that's supposed to increase it by

1.0, and using Quantum Light's Coral Complex that's supposed to increase it, and

now I've just started some alkalinity drops that are added to drinking water.

I know there's a cancer treatment that involves injections around tumors with an

alkaline solution. Don't want a recurrence of this breast cancer! I'm taking

other dietary measures, too.

I will read at the healthgazelle on it and get the book (but my reading is piled

up!) The pH Miracle.

Thanks!

The absolute best way I have found to create the proper ph balance quickly and

easily is just one teaspoon of Chlorophyll in the morning and another one at

night. Within one week things will be in perfect balance. For us, this meant

that the probiotics we were giving could finally take hold, after years of never

having them work.

That's a great suggestion, Mel!

We use the mint flavored and I add it to water. (I like the Smart Water liter

bottles because I can measure the liter, but it fits in the cup holder in the

van.)

If you use tooth soap, you need the tooth brightener because it will turn your

teeth green.
