Alkaline Foods Guide

Hi Ian, I am keen to learn more about alkalining can you send me information on foods and diet to eat I already have an Alphion and are looking for more ways to help become acid free can you help me? ~James

James, congratulations! You've passed the first post in the long trail towards full 'alkalarian' lifestyle. Now you are using the water, your body is asking for more! That's exactly what happens to so many of us as we reclaim our natural balance. Of course it helps that as we begin alkalizing, our body starts talking to us again and asking - through our mind - for more of the same. It's truly a great example of the fact that we think with our whole being; not just our brain.

It's a huge job to publish all the info on the best alkaline foods. The best resource I've found is 'The Acid Alkaline Food Guide' by Dr Susan E. Brown and Larry Trivieri Jr. It's better than everything else I've come across because it's based on the 'next step' in acid/alkaline residue measurement. You see, all the charts you might find on the net are based on a pretty simple method of ascertaining acid or alkaline effect. The food is cooked to an ash and the pH of the ash is measured. That's all. Pretty basic.

However this little book reflects the new paradigm applied to this method. The type of acid or alkaline minerals left over is analysed and then related to the known effect the particular and individual mix of acid or alkaline constituents would have on the body. It's obvious that different acids have different effect on the body, so this is a quantum leap in food charting. The book also has excellent facts on acid/alkaline balancing. Here's the link.
