After reading John B's post on Acid vs Alkaline Ph balance in our systems I started becoming curious about which foods were Acid and which were Alkaline.
Hope this following article and list helps everyone a bit.
God bless you Richly with his perfect love,

Acid Alkaline Imbalance:
Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids must be neutralized our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition. A pH balanced diet, according to many experts, is a vital key to health maintenance.

Note that a food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming.

Hello everybody

I wanted to respond to John's post about Proton Pump Inhibitors. I had been taking Prilosac for about 3 years before becoming sick with Morgellons. I decided to stop taking it when I began the Protocol as I did not want anything to interfere with it. Honestly, I now feel it was creating a negative situation for me as to my digestion. Now I am completely convinced that diet and consuming alkaline foods has totally corrected all my prior digestive issues! Great info, John.

Thanks for such a concise list - I am beginning research on this as I have illnesses related to high acidic conditions in my stomach/GI tract, including Barrett's and precancerous cellular changes. The meds they give me are all anti acid, so why not try an anti-acid diet first????
So, it makes sense to me to try and balance this out with alkaline based.

Thanks for such great information.
