Why do people still go on about going "alkaline"...your blood is a great buffer...has to be in a very narrow pH value...if you deviate from it...you simply go into acidosis/alkalosis and yup...pretty much kick the bucket

how is this to be the case when a lot of these are genetic diseases? are you trying to tell me that there is a natural cure for all of these? cure, meaning that this natural substance changes the individuals genome?
you nearly talking as much # as kevin trudeau.

ya the apple vinegar is good, my dad takes it whenever he has heartburn and it disappears. Also unrefined coconut oil is the best for constipation. If you want some more info read Kevin Trudeaus book - Natural cures "they" dont want you to know about
seriously that man is a true revolutionary, everyone who makes money off of drugs (not street drugs) wants him dead.
Hey Tankthinker..Sorry if I'm of the thread, but i saw your post with interest. I suffer with terrible heartburn, I take omeprazole to control the production of acid in my body, without them my life is a constant misery. I don't like to take a tablet everyday, and wish to try this Apple vinegar. Where can i get this vinegar? And can you remember how long it had a lasting effect on your dear father. Thankyou very much.

Yes, your body will do just about anything to keep your blood at the proper PH, including leeching calcium from your bones and decimating your immune system . . . . I would suggest eating alkalizing foods so these things don't happen. It's pretty simple: Fruits and vegetables are alkalizing; almost anything else isn't. (Yes, apple cider vinegar is alkalizing. Whole grains are slightly acidic; dairy, refined grains and refined sugar are poison.)

The way I understand acid reflux, digestions problems, etc., is that lack of acid in your stomach results in undigested food in your stomach, which in turn keeps your stomach full and forces the acid up your esophagus, hence the burning sensation and discomfort. The active ingredient in the little purple pill (and the like I would assume) is designed to soak up that nasty acid in your esophagus....phew, feels better. Only problem is, your body senses the lack of acid, tries to produce more acid and before you know it, your problem is back again. So you see, the little purple pill is designed to solve your symptoms, but essentially make your problem worse......so you need more pills.
When you take the vinegar, it replaces the missing acid, food is digested, no more heartburn.

name a few genetic diseases cause i dont know any, isnt it that if your parents have cancer your more "likely" to get it

Also, the article you cite has some deep misconceptions about the physiology of digestion "...If it were not for the presence of sodium – which makes the tissue in the stomach highly alkaline – the lining would be destroyed by the hydrochloric acid in the stomach..." that is absolutely wrong...mucopolysaccarides protect the lining of the stomach, forming a gel which protects from HCl. Although some Sodium can be included in the gel, it is not the 'barrier' need to protect the cell lining of the stomach...actually, these sugars are used by H. pylori to latch on to the stomach and start the infection.

No, the purple pill blocks acid production from the stomach cells by blocking the proton pump. What does cause acid rebound is the "natural" cure of using calcium carbonate...

Then you state how the body "trying to balance pH" 'decimates' the immune system...please refer me to a scientific paper that states that blood pH balance depends on Calcium...and not from some obscure website...please refer it from Pubmed or other PEER REWIED source...
Instead of just repeating what you read...I'd recommend you to read a physiology book...and about digestion and you might learn a little bit...

This is how I understand it: If you burn say, apples (from whence the vinegar), the ash that remains is alkaline PH, basically because of the minerals left behind. And when you digest an apple (or apple product) essentially the same process occurs. Calories, after all, are measured by burning food, right? I don't know if apple cider vinegar has any particular health benefits, but just by virtue of it being from an apple, it has an alkalizing effect on your system.
You can measure this for yourself (if you dare) with PH paper if you first test your saliva, then drink as much apple cider as you can, then test again an hour or two later, without eating or drinking anything else in between. The reading should be more alkaline.

Lemons are ironically one of the most alkalizing foods there are (watermelons are right up there too). The residual ash they leave after being burned (or digested) is chalk-full o' alkalizing minerals. You can test this (scientifically!) by taking your saliva PH, eating a bunch of lemons, then taking it again a couple of hours later. (Just don't eat or drink anything in-between). Try it with any raw fruit or vegetable!
Otherwise, I guess it's just a theory I subscribe to: Fruits and vegetables good, meat and dairy bad. If you want support from the New England Journal of Medicine, well there's no money in people being healthy . . .
Peace, friend . . . and health
