Hi Everyone, I love to read and thought I had read just about everything on the website, but I was mistaken. There is a tab that reads Articles and Diet at the top right of the page on the website that I truly had neglected to read. Upon opening it, found a great deal of information and that many things we are eating and doing, others had discovered before us. I think many are missing out on this knowledge, just as I was, so, I decided that I would bring these back up a little at a time in the forum prior to our next Conference Call on Diet and Recipes. The first category includes the subject of Alkaline and/or Acidity in our bodies and our food. "Dietary Articles for New People" by Tawney Many thanks to Tawney who invested her time and effort to gather the following information from all across the forum. Hopefully this will make it easier for newcomers and experienced warriors alike to find most of the dietary advice and information in one place: MAE 4/29/09 ACID VS. ALKALINE FOODS 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, Mae. 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. PH BALANCE FOODS CHART FOODS FROM MOST ALKALINE TO LEAST: Most Alkaline X Stevia X Lemons,Watermelon,Limes,Grapefruit,Mangoes,Papayas X Asparagus,Onions,Vegetable Juices,Parsley,Raw Spinach,Broccoli,Garlic X Olive Oil X Herb Teas,Lemon Water Alkaline X Maple Syrup,Rice Syrup X Dates,Figs,Melons,Grapes,Papaya,Kiwi,Blueberries,Apples,Pears,Raisins X Okra,Squash,Green Beans,Beets,Celery,Lettuce,Zucchini,Sweet Potato,Carob X Almonds X Flax Seed Oil X Green Tea Lowest Alkaline X Raw Honey,Raw Sugar X Oranges,Bananas,Cherries,Pineapple,Peaches,Avocados X Carrots,Tomatoes,Fresh Corn,Mushrooms,Cabbage,Peas,Potato Skins,Olives.Soybeans,Tofu X Chestnuts X Canola Oil X Amaranth, Millet, Wild Rice, Quinoa X Soy Cheese, Soy Milk, Goat milk, Goat Cheese, Whey X Ginger Tea FROM MOST ACID TO LEAST: Most Acid u NutraSweet, Equal, Aspartame, Sweet n Low u Blackberries, Cranberries, Prunes u Chocolate u Peanuts u Wheat, White Flour, Pastries, Pasta u Beef, Pork, Shellfish u Cheese, Homogenized Milk ,Ice Cream u Beer, Soft Drinks Acid u White Sugar, Brown sugar u Sour Cherries,Rhubarb u Potatoes (without skins),Pinto Beans,Navy Beans, Lima Beans u Pecans,Cashews u White Rice,Corn, Buckwheat, Oats, Rye u Turkey, Chicken, Lamb u Raw Milk u Coffee Lowest Acid u Processed Honey, Molasses u Plums, Processed Fruit Juices u Cooked Spinach, Kidney Beans, String Beans u Pumpkin Seed, Sunflower Seeds u Corn Oil u Sprouted Wheat Bread, Spelt, Brown Rice u Venison, Cold Water Fish u Eggs, Butter, Yogurt, Buttermilk, Cottage Cheese u Tea 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. _____ Article by permission of Dr. Duane Weed John B 8/25/2011 There is near universal agreement that citrus fruits are alkalizing, but considerable confusion as to why. Citrus fruits are acidic; lemons and limes have a pH of around 2 (pH 7 is neutral). So how could they be alkalizing? Your stomach is an organ that is designed to produce acid to break down proteins and other nutrients before they enter the small intestine. The small intestine is designed to be alkaline, so as to break down the nutrients even further to facilitate absorption into the bloodstream for transport to the cells. Stomach acid (HCL) has a pH of around 1. Your stomach normally maintains a pH of around 2 to facilitate the digestive process. Foods that are whole and natural, unadulterated, and high in acid (like lemons, kiwis, grapefruit, etc.) are easy to digest because they cause so little stress to the stomach. Little or no additional acid is needed for digestion, and consequently, less neutralizing is required in the small intestine. Problems occur when 'alkalizing' and 'alkaline' are used interchangeably. Alkaline foods and beverages call for more stomach acid, and may contribute to acidification of body fluids and tissues down the line. But eating more alkaline foods is just what many are recommending, with potentially dangerous consequences. Alkalizing the stomach puts extra stress on the entire system. Failure to break down proteins and fats in the stomach due to the use of anti-acids is considered by many experts in the field of nutrition to be a leading contributor to the development of colorectal cancer. Disrupting the acid balance in the stomach is bound to have negative effects, and especially if it becomes a regular routine. Bottom line, if we eat the mineral rich foods that our creator intended for us to eat, we will maintain a slightly alkaline blood pH without causing undue stress on the body. If we eat processed, demineralized and devitalized "food" our bodies must rob from their own resources to survive. So, rather than buying expensive alkalizing pills or water, the best way to prevent buildup of acid wastes is to eat God's foods. If you want to supplement your diet or use something to offset poor choices, the best way to go is to start your day with a high quality greens drink. The only drawback to greens drinks is that they typically taste horrible. Manufacturers often try to overcome this taste issue by loading their formula up with sugar or worse yet, toxic chemical sweeteners. Logos Nutritionals is working on a new cutting edge greens formula that tastes good - with no compromises.MagnifiGreens will be available soon. we will make an announcement when it is ready. Once again, good to see you back LD. please keep us posted on your continued progress. Blessings, John B Chelsea 8/28/2011 You can make a lot of progress if you discipline yourself to cut out all sweets (they do feed on the sweets) give up the coffee unless you can alkalize it (some are using a dash of pure baking soda, NO additives). I don't drink coffee or sodas but had to give up the fruit juices and even fruits. Only fruit I do eat is bananas and more ripe the better. Gave up all meats, chicken, fish for they are all acid. I drink green tea, almond milk and eat alot of almonds as a snack. If you are going to eat something acid, you need to offset it with alkaline foods if your ph is not where it should be. For instance, I eat oatmeal with powdered whey protein every morning which are low acid but I cook it with akaline water, use almond milk and stir in diatomaceous Earth (which they say helps in mopping up during detox) but even if it does not do that, it is akaline so it makes my meal akaline. I used DE almost from the begging of my treatment but later on quit using it because I did not know if it was doing any good. But then when I started looking into Acid/Akaline and testing what foods I could, I found out that DE is akaline (not sure if all brands are but the one I have is) so decided I would go back to using it since most foods seemed to be acid and DE was one more thing I could use to help me get my body to an akaline state. Keep plugging away by following the protocol and you will find yourself feeling better and having time for other things. Also you will be able to concentrate on narrowing your symptoms down to just a minor agitation until you figure out what will work for you to get rid of it. Our bodies are all different and will react to different things in different ways and in my case I was way off on a lot of vitamins so I had to do things recommended by my dr. Always keep in mind that others have got this under control so there is hope which hopefully keep your spirits up. God Bless, Donna M. | ||||||

Hi Everyone, First I want to start off saying that I miss you guys and gals on last week call. I was celebrating my mom's 84th birthday. I'm catching up on some reading and this email that Mel sent has some very old and new good advice from Diets to get your body alkaline. All this information is good to know and I've learn somethings that was not of interest to me but now is. I appreciate ALL the posts in this thread. I will continue to read more from old posts to up-to-date ones. God Bless everyone Mary W. | ||||||

Hi Donna, Thank you for bringing this thread forward. I read through it yesterday and found it interesting and helpful. The conference call on food that you and Karen did was amazing. Thank you for all your teachings and I am thrilled that you are well again. It is such a testimony and I can't wait to listen to your "Happy Dance" conference call. It is wonderful that you can be with your grandchildren again. You are such an inspiration. God Bless You, Love, Linda | ||||||
