Working in the ICU, I would have given anything to alter the pH of my patients. This is hooey.

Um... If you actually read it, the point is not that your pH changes, it's what your body has to do to maintain its pH balance when your diet is doing everything you can to acidify it.

I read it. Go for it.
I am completely prepared to eat my words, should the need arise.

I don't tend to fully embrace certain diets. I'm more of a take-it-with-a-grain-of-salt, everything-in-moderation kind of a gal. There is room for a lot of improvement in my daily diet. I just thought this was interesting.

As far as healing through diet goes . . .
I will say that my GP told me I would be on anti-depressants for my entire life, that I needed thyroid prescription to manage my hypothyroidism, she prescribed me sleep aids to help with my insomnia, and stimulants to help with my chronic lethargy. I was on 6 prescription drugs at the age of 22. My pediatrician put my daughter through 3 sets of tubes for her chronic ear infections.

And then I finally saw a naturopath who said all those things could be cured by diet. My GP and Pediatrician were very alarmed by this and said it was impossible.

But guess what, it's worked. No more ear infections for DD. No more prescription drugs for me and I feel infinitely better than I ever did on all those drugs. So . . . who knows.
