Yes, the acid/alkaline thing is confusing. From my readings and personal experience, you need lots of good protein: organic, non-gmo meats, eggs. No soy. Tons of vegies, like way more than most of us grew up eating. (And this is for life, not just for fixing morgellons.) Esp. dark green, and orange.
If I eliminate grains and most starch, I do great. But this is so hard because then I feel deprived and binge on stuff I reallyshouldn't have. So I am looking for the balance.
Stay away from processed foods as much as possible. More home cooking is essential. REad labels, or better yet, make it from scratch.
Also, I don't think the whole battle can be won with the perfect pH, so don't focus all your energy there. Just eat a really really vegie (non-starch, of course) heavy diet, high quality protein diet, incl lots of eggs, fish. Also, coconut oil, cocunut water are great for you.
Get away from unhealthy fats (they are in most processed foods) Good olive oil, good organic butter maybe, coconut. No canola, safflower, etc. Vegetable oils have actually been linked with the rise of heart disease over the last century, not-saturated fat as we were lead to believe. Good quality (grass fed, organic) beef and buffalo are great for you.
And exercise!!! Super important. |
