Acidic pH Remedies

Ted, where can I get the digital pH meter in BBK? Thank you.

Suksapan Panich at Rajadamnern Road. Most taxis would know where. Ted

Yes, strips are not accurate. Urinary pH changes very quickly even within 1-2 hours after eating so you don't have to wait that long. This sound like testing them for doing a blood tests. In blood test you must fast for at least overnight. However, urinary pH is fast acting. Also normal salivary pH is frequently over 7. The mentioned method might work for urinary pH. However it is very difficult to know how far off the mark since most urinary pH varies between 5.5 to 7.5. While the mentioned method will tell you reach it, in practice, getting over 6 is usually acceptable. However, there are exceptions such as serious conditions as cancer or flu, in which you have to get them over 7.0 - 7.3 to kill or destroy the virus or cancer.

However, i prefer to use digital pH meters since you can calibrate with greater accuracy. At least here in Thailand, the price of a pocket digital pH is the same as the chemical methods, it was rather easy for me to go digital pH. Obtaining a digital pH is easier than getting chemical versions for most people since you can get them at a garden shop or pet shops also

Hi Ted, I've enjoyed reading your ideas about and experiences with nutrition.

I have read several references to pH by you in other sections of this site and found myself confused on exactly what you might consider the Ideal pH for the urine or saliva. In this section here you described it very well. The Ideal pH of 6.4 and an acceptable range of 6.1 to 6.8 agrees pretty much with the J. D. Jarvis experiments in his book and with the studies of Carey Reams.

Thanks for the clarification.

Dear Ron: The pH I am looking for test is either below or above 7. This is true especially of saliva. So a bromthymol blue measures in a range of only 6.4 to 6.8. Therefore the range of bromthymol blue has some limitations also.

For urine pH the range is 6.5, but for a saliva pH, the ideal pH is around 7.3. Hence the bromthymol blue is more ideal for the measurement of urinary pH.

Mostly the urine pH falls between 6. to 6.8 to be acceptable. But when a person is sick, I need to get the pH of the urine to be closer to 7.

Dear Ted, I am having a hard time finding out what potassium bi-carbonate is, common name etc...where I can purchase. Don't know what I'm asking/looking for. I also noted you recommended for alkalizing tumors in dogs.

Sodium bi-carbonate = Baking Soda

Potassium bi-carbonate = ?
(potassium bitrate = Cream of Tar Tar)

Magnesium Carbonate = ?
Magnesium sulfate = Epsom Salt

Please help me clarify these substances. I have googled but found no common name. I have been suffering with abscess on root of tooth that won't come to a head to drain. It is hard to research & maybe others having same problem as me?

After trying everything holistically suggested on EC, it hit me that the pH most likely the problem. Started Baking soda & am getting some relief & movement. I am 60 yrs old & acid/alkaline balance has a big effect on me. I use the baking soda/lemon or lime etc. process, but would like to know/try ?Potassium Bicarbonate? you suggested.....

Please & Thank you for your time & info. Many Thanks & Blessings to ALL! Gwen

Hi Gwen...In answer to some of your questions:

Potassium Bicarbonate: No other name that I know of. Other similar potassium supplements to try are potassium citrate, potassium gluconate and potassium carbonate.

Magnesium Carbonate: Occurs naturally as Magnesite and Dolomite. If you are trying to suppement with Magnesium, there are two methods to do this:

1. By taking Magnesium supplements such as Mag Citrate, Mag Gluconate, Mag Sulphate or Mag Bicarbonate. To make an easy and cheap fortified Magnesium water supplement -- Magnesium Bicarbonate in solution -- using soda water and Phillip's Milk of Magnesia(I do this), see this link here.

http://www.socialanxietysupport.com/forum/f11/make-your-own-magnesium-bicarbonate-drink-tastes-sweet-46555/

2. Use Magnesium Chloride or Magnesium Sulphate(Epsom Salts) baths and/or body sprays to absorb Magnesium directly into your body transdermally(through your skin). More Magnesium will be absorbed transdermally than with supplements and this is a very efficient and simpler method than taking magnesium supplements which sometimes causes diarrhea.

I'm sorry that you're suffering from abscess tooth pain. Here are some suggested remedies from Earth Clinic which might help you:

Hi Heavenlightly... Regarding diet, I myself did not eat a raw diet when I cured my candida -- although eating a raw diet would certainly help. I just ate no dairy(including no yoghurt), no sugar, no sweeteners, no canned food, avoid all anti-biotics or drugs, only ate red meat a few times a month, and usually only ate white meat and fish with alot of veg and cooked everything in VCO(which is cheap in the Philippines). My problem was that I had eaten too much processed food for so long in the UK, before I moved to the Philippines. When I moved to the semi-provinces, I bought virtually everything from the wet market, no processing. This also helped.

Muscular aches and pains are usually caused by body electrolyte imbalances ie the body calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium need to be re-balanced. To much unregulated calcium always builds up in the muscle tissues causing acidity and pain. Nowadays, due to a bad diet(with everything is now heavily fortified with calcium), achieving excess calcium is easy. Calcium has therefore been overstressed in its importance in diet in my opinion. The emphasis, especially for older people like myself, should therefore be on proper magnesium and potassium intake, which are always lacking in Western diets. Magnesium regulates calcium in the body and is also involved in over 300 enzyme reactions in your body which makes it one of the most important and essential minerals in your diet. I now take a liquid mixture (only sold in the Philippines) containing all necessary minerals in a solution of fulvic acid and sodium ascorbate solution which I find ideal to replace minerals in the body as well as as an aid to neutralize body toxins. But just using natural sea salt everyday would also have similar effects.

Milk of Magnesia worked well against my jock itch and was all I needed. Another simple mixture I now use consists of:

2 tablespoons Milk of Magnesia
2 Tablespoons 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/2 teaspoon Borax(20 Mule Team)

MoM specifically kills all bad microbes with its high alkalinity and because it is hydrophobic, therefore dehydrating and killing the bad microbes that way as well. Hydrogen peroxide kills fungus, bacteria and viruses electrically by oxidation. And the borax is introduced to specifically kill any other associative fungus/mites involved. This is also a remedy originally recommended by Ted on EC for topical use. It is very effective -- even helped to get rid of a friend's psoriasis when none of the drugs recommended by his doctor's worked -- and the nice thing about it is that all the constituents are cheap and easily obtained.

Regarding your sinus allergy, the use of Lugol's is very beneficial to the body, and is another body friendly element that the body is usually lacking. Doctors will only ever talk about iodine wrt thyroid. However, it is also well known that iodine is used in every mucus gland in your body, including eyes, nose, throat, mouth, throat, intestines, uterus, prostate and breasts. In mucus, iodine is therefore one of the first lines of defense against infection in your body. Recent research has also revealed that iodine also has anti-histamine effects on the body, when taken in larger doses. The RDA recommended for iodine these days is 150 micrograms. This will cure some thyroid problems but no other associated problems because the rest of the body requires over 100 times more iodine than is recommended. Here are some links to the most current research concerning the benefits of iodine:From a speech by Max Gerson(Cancer and Tuberculosis Therapy) regarding the usefulness of minerals and iodine wrt allergies:

"The patients are given thyroid and lugol solution (lugol's solution is iodine plus potassium iodide) I learned first through the so-called Gudenath tadpole experiment that iodine is necessary to increase and help the oxidation ability. Then we gave the patients large amount of potassium. (12) It took about 300 experiments until I found the right potassium combination. It is a 10% solution of potassium gluconate, potassium phosphate (monobasic), and potassium acetate. From that solution the patient is given four teaspoonsful 10 times a day in juices. That large amount of potassium is introduced into the body. (12) At the same time 5 times one grain of thyroid and 6 times three drops of lugol solution, ½ strength. That's 18 drops of lugol which is a large dose. Nobody was observed to develop heart palpitations from that, even if some patients told me that they could previously not take thyroid because they would develop heart palpitation. And all allergies disappeared! Some patients claimed that they could previously not take one teaspoonful of lemon juice or orange juice - they were allergic. But when they are well detoxified and have plenty of potassium, they are not allergic. Allergies and other hypersensitivities are eliminated."

Just waned to know about this:

2 tablespoons Milk of Magnesia
2 Tablespoons 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
1/2 teaspoon Borax(20 Mule Team)

Is this ingested or use in a topical application?

Hi phoenix...I read your article with interest, though I do disagree with some points. Your belief that alkalizing is not useful for the body's balance and homeostasis -- or specifically useful to maintain the pH of your own body is incorrect from my own direct experience with these remedies.

As you know from another post, I had candida, and the only regimens I took to specifically target the candida were Ted's lime/lemon or ACV and baking soda remedies from this site. This was the main protocol I used for my candida problem. I used no other drugs or special diet here. Other than the normal symptoms described for candida, I was also always constipated and my saliva was always thick and tasted quite sour.

I took Ted's regimen daily, plus molasses and coconut oil every day as well for minerals and the constipation. And I say again, I took no other medical drugs for the candida. The point I'm making here, is that after 8 years of suffering candida and all its various internal and external symptoms, the only possible thing that could have cured it was Ted's alkalizing remedies. But it did take a year of using this protocol to eradicate the candida. And there is absolutely no way I would except any judgement that my candida just disappeared "by itself". If you know anything about fungal infections, rarely do they just go away...

I've also noticed in my own surfings on the internet concerning alternative herbal and chemical therapies, that much of the so called research, for instance, that is supposed to disprove the efficacy of herbs like Pau D'Arco(lepechol) against the likes of cancer and other ailments -- is nothing more than what I call "spoiler research" -- or poorly executed research specifically instigated to fail and disprove any claims made for any herb regarding its efficacy against cancer. They still use the Pau D'Arco herb even now in Brazil and Paraguay as an effective treatment for cancer where it has been used as a reviving tea for centuries(doesn't this alone qualify Pau D'Arco is a GRAS herb?). Fortunately, the dirty influence of the FDA has no reach or influence in South America. And so the US cancer industry -- or cut, poison and burn -- as it is so affectionately called these days, is fully preserved.

You might want to investigate the ordinary chemical called DCA or Dichloroacetate, which is causing quite a stir at the moment regarding a cancer cure. DCA is currently used as an accepted(by the FDA no less) protocol for a genetic lactic acidosis problems. DCA effectively neutralizes the lactic acid and stops the pain of lactic acidosis. Strangely, since the effect of lactic acidosis also occurs widely in cancer due to its method of respiration by glycolisis or fermentation, the neutralization by this acid, as well as the alkalizing effect of the dichloroacetate would seem to be the prime reason for its curative effect on cancer. And yet the pharmaceutical industry have already said quite openly that they are not interested in DCA as a cancer protocol -- no patent possible, so no profit possible. You can study all the evidence for this, just type "DCA cancer" in Google -- you will get thousands of hits.

The difference between your posts concerning the use of, specifically, Ted's alkalizing remedies and my posts on alkalizing, is that I have used all of them, and they have generally been a complete success -- and I still use them. So I am speaking from direct experience and you are from a somewhat weaker position.

Your arguments against alkalizing using the body's mechanism of homeostasis that alkalizes the body on its own, are very poor and lack simple logic I think. For instance, it is well known that the body, when asleep works its hardest to maintain homeostasis, which tries to return the body to a balanced electrolytic state and in particular -- to it's own safe pH zone. Well known also is that the majority of heart attack deaths occur at night when people are asleep. Could it not be that the person's body is just too acid due to excess process food and bad diet and pollution? You make the mistake of just assuming and believing that the body's homeostasis mechanism -- as well as, perhaps, the immune system -- is just in perfect balance all the time. A gross mistake I think.

If you are going to comment and judge any of the protocols on this site, the best way is to try them. I guarantee, from my own experience, that the majority of these protocols are completely safe with little or no side-affects. And they worked for me, and no amount of FDA research spam will change my view at this point.

There's really no argument against that is there ?

to Bill from San Fernando - would you share exactly what you did? thank you.

Hi again Everyone...Concerning this acid/alkaline state and what state is good or bad for you, I have read numerous amounts of medical research from Medline, PubMed and other sources concerning viruses, fungus and cancers.

It is fairly well known that either an internal state and pH 9(very alkaline) or 5(very acid) would not be beneficial to your body. Also well known is that cancers, viruses, fungus etc prefer acid mediums or body states that are always acid because it aids in their lifecycles. The first reason is respiration, fungus and viruses excel in acid environments because this helps with their respiration or glycolosis (anaerobic fermentation). In certain research I have also read that viruses penetrate host cells using acid enzymes, and also, once inside the host cell, viruses also use acid enzymes to help in its reproductive stage within the host cell. This also applies to fungus. So, as Ted says so often, this is why it is so important to alkalize both your extracellular fluids(blood) and your intracellular fluids when you are ill with a virus, fungus etc. When you alkalize, the virus reproduction and spread is therefore slowed and hindered, giving a better chance for the immune system to overpower the virus eventually.

As well, if your body is too acid (or even too alkaline) -- or out of its proper healthy pH zone -- then it stands to reason that your immune system will also be affected and its defensive capabilities against foreign microbes will likely also be depressed.

Another point, your gastro-intestinal tract or intestines also needs to be slightly alkaline as well as oxygenated for exactly the same reasons as above because bad microbes can also breed and spread there. The intestines, strictly speaking, can also be regarded as external to your body like your skin, because there is no blood. Intestinal Candida will take hold easily if junk processed food is eaten too much. Once inside your intestines, and if nothing is done, the candida may go systemic via the blood or into the mesenteric cavities, eventually affecting other major organs like the liver or pancreas or kidneys, as well as helping to invite other diseases into your body because of a depressed and overworked immune system.

So the best way to stay healthy is to provide and maintain a healthy body terrain for yourself. And since most of us eat acid forming processed foods, containing a barrage of strange chemicals, heavy metals and dangerous halides like chlorine and bromine in our diets, and since this creates the perfect acid medium or body terrain for bad microbes to engage and spread rapidly within or bodies, it would seem to make sense to help your body by simply alkalizing your body terrain thus helping to return your body state to its own proper and healthy optimal alkaline pH zone.

Hi Cindy...My protocols for getting rid of my candida are defined elsewhere on this site. Here is an older post by me which describes this protocol:

"I had candida three years ago. My symptoms were psoriasis, eczma, BM and toilet only once every 4 days if I was lucky, tired and sluggish all day, severe grogginess and brainfog in the mornings, jock itch(tinea cruris) and overweight. I also regularly caught colds, flu etc many times a year on a regular basis.

This is what I took to cure candida:

* Ted's alkalizing remedies using either whole squeezed lemon/lime or 2 tbspns ACV plus 1/2 tspn baking soda(Arm & Hammer brand) two or three times a day. This is Ted's Alkalizing Remedy and this is THE NUMBER ONE CURE for Candida in my book.

* One tablespoons of virgin coconut oil stirred into my coffee at least 2 - 3 times a day.

* Blackstrap molasses in my coffee, no refined sugar or aspartame sweetener allowed in my diet. BSM also added more potassium to my diet and also helped to balance the extra sodium from using the baking soda.

When I started this remedy at the beginning, I got fairly severe flu-like symptoms -- it almost seemed as if the remedy was making me worse. But this die off or Herxheimer Effect always happens when you get the fungal toxins released into your blood from microbes and fungus from the die off, so think of it as a good sign. Your liver and kidneys are overworked initially, until your immune system can get on top of it. After this die-off it was easy. All my skin problems just disappeared slowly (except the jock itch -- but that's another story) and I haven't had a cold or flu in 2 years."

I also took a daily decoction that I made consisting of three herbs just to support my liver, kidneys, blood and immune system throughout this protocol. The 3 herbs were: Tinospora cordifolia, Chanca Piedra (Stonebreaker) and Tumeric root. I gathered the fresh herbs and made the decoction myself(I live in the Philippines). But you can other use other simple herbs such as Milk Thistle, Dandelion, Burdock or Liquorice and Ginseng in support just as well.

I got rid of my jock itch(tinea cruris) by using athletes foot powder(because I found out that tinea cruris is exactly the same fungus as tinea pedis -- or athletes foot), and by using Milk of Magnesia at night after my shower(just dab MoM straight over the affected region). The MoM was very soothing, and has a pH of 10, which will kill any bacteria, virus or fungus. My tinea cruris disappeared in only 2 days. I had had this jock itch for 7 years, and no drugs or special creams had ever worked.

Hi Bill,

I would TOTALLY confer with all you have laid down. Ted is a wise (and nice fellow). I followed the exact same regime as you for about the same amount of time and all is now OK. Well, actually more than OK ever was!

It (CarBiCarb etc., etc) is a standard medical treatment, and as otherwise a harmless procedure, and so it carries very,very little risk. In a sense its magical when you consider matters as otherwise.

I've also read up on cancer quite a lot (...well, haven't we all), as folk seem to be succumbing all about me, and it would appear that many professional folk who specialize in cancer are giving up on it (as well as mainstream HIV research) 'cos they feel that the medical profession is just going in the wrong direction in trying to cure it. Big Pharma rules... or it did. To me there MUST be a simple answer in eliminating it, for in the natural world nature just would not allow such a dire short-term outcome for its evolutionary efforts. Would it?

pH (and hence enzymes)seem to be key in all this. As such I have attached a couple of links to recent Vid's at the end of this which helps explain it all.

At the risk of sounding a bit loopy (nothing new there then), it reminds me of the T.S. Elliot poem "Little Gidding" (...the last of his Four Quartets):

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

Take care,

Hi Shaun...Well, much thanks for that, and I guess we must be doing something right.

My outlook towards the medical profession and the big pharmaceuticals is remarkably aligned to your opinions on this. But that may be because we're both British.

But please don't get me started on this subject...I would become very boring !! I have also learnt much concerning all the lop-sided deceptions and goings-on within the world's pharmaceutical industry, which are best truly described, in my own loopy way if you like, by some favourite quotes by Mark Twain:

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect."

"Denial ain't just a river in Egypt."

Be Well,

Bill

Hi Phoenix,

Thank you for making so much effort to answer my question. Here in Europe many people are fanatical about getting their urine alkaline. They even swallow many tablets to achieve this - and in Jarvis book there are convincing scientific studies that alkaline urine is a sign of distress. I am worried for all these people who may be going in exactly the wrong direction.

My son, who is 10 years old, never took any medicines, let alone antibiotics, E-numbers, preservatives or any junk food. Just a wholefood vegetarian organic diet with plenty of fruit and green veggies. He is as healthy as any mother would wish. His urine is solidly acidic. So, something must be wrong with the idea that health equals alkaline urine. I am grateful that I found Jarvis' book and wished more people would actually read it and not just quoting it.

Hi Everyone...The importance of bicarbonates within the digestion, nutrient absorbtion and respiration of nutrients into the human body is difficult to understand and it seems that some opinions seem to be promoting mistaken or inaccurate conclusions.

If we just consider the importance of human digestion wrt bicarbonates -- when food enters the human stomach, this becomes a very acid medium, consisting of hydrochloric acid secreted by glands in the stomach. Its purpose is to both initiate protein digestion in an acid medium, to convert the slightly alkaline saliva medium to a fully acid medium and thus to kill any dangerous or bad bacteria in the food.

The stomach contents or chyme are then passed into the duodenum for the next stage which is initiated by secretions by the pancreas and liver. The pancreas secretes many enzymes -- tripsin, chemotrypsin, amylase, lipase, lactase, maltase, sucrase etc -- that can only work and do their job in a neutral to alkaline medium. Also secreted with these enzymes are bicarbonates in solution to completely neutralize the hydrochloric acid in the stomach chyme mixture so that the enzymes in the duodenum have the correct medium to work in for proper digestion to occur.

The liver secretes bile via the gall bladder which is used to break the fat down into convenient droplets for easier digestion and absorbtion. The bile also reacts with the excess alkali or bicarbonate to form a convenient "soap" which aids intestinal perstalsis in moving the hardened faeces down the intestines.

The bile mainly consists of chemically broken down haemoglobin, hagocytes and cholesterol which is excreted by the liver into the intestines.

The digestion and absorbtion of nutrients further take place in the jejunum and ileum. The colon functions to reabsorb water and vitamins as well as providing an area to store waste before excretion.

Therefore, in terms of just digestion, it is easy to see where digestion can all go wrong because of excess acidity.

If you either eat very acid junk foods OR are low in body bicarbonates, then when the acid stomach chyme gets into the duodenum, the hydrochloric acid will not be neutralized with a weak or insufficient secretion of bicarbonates from the pancreas, so the chyme will remain acidic, the duodenal enzymes will not work because they need a neutral to alkaline medium, and so the chyme or food just stagnates within this acid medium, rapidly encouraging all sorts of bad anaerobic bacteria, virus, fungus to take hold and to be absorbed and attack the body via the intestines.

To see a good explanation of why bicarbonates are so important for respiration, see this simple essay - with a very useful diagram by Mark Sircus which helps to explaining the vital importance of bicarbonates:

http://www.life-enthusiast.com/index/Articles/Sircus

In response to many people in Europe trying to get there urine alkaline. Unless they are sick, it is not beneficial to have alkaline 7.1 or above. If you read what Ted said EXACTLY is your urine should be between 6.1 and 6. 8, which is slightly acidical. If you are above that, especially in the 7.2 or higher range, and not taking a lot of alkalizing products, you are making ammonia to lower your ph in desperation. That is not good. To counter this, you have to take the alkalizing products mentioned on this site to get 6.1 to 6.8 urine ph.

Your body should be 6.1-6.8. On p 14 your urine should be 6.5-7.0. Dairy is killing me yet the doctor wants me to eat it. My pH goes down every time I eat yogurt no more for me.

Hi Bill,

I desparately need your advise as I have been taking Ted's remedies baking soda/potassium about 2 weeks, just baking soda 1 week, and ACV + BS for 1 week total 4 weeks I still have sour taste in mouth after meal. I feel more sour during evening. My sour taste 1 day has less and the next day has more. It has been like this for the whole month. At 3rd week of BS and potassium I have experience abdominal pain so I stopped it and use only ACV /baking soda and it started burp alot and become indigestion have food comes back up in my throat and still have sour taste after meal. I also take magnesium 200 mg in a glass of water. I still feel someting in my throat. So I took a break no more ACV and baking soda. The indigestion become worse and burp alot more. Have foods come back up in the throat. I tried tumeric root capsule for 2 days while I stopped the ACV/baking soda and I have burning chest pain. Not sure if that is the cause. So I stopped and try aloe vera but I have mild burning chest pain. I don't know if there is Candida or not. I have coating white tongue on and off through the day and my white tongue is thick in the morning when I wake up in the morning. My tongue seems to be sour. Have heartburn, GERD. Only symptoms is sour taste after meal, heartburn, indigestion, and was constipation before go every 2 days and now go every day but have to push hard. Also anemia very low on ferritin, low iron, low vitamin deficiency. I checked blood test. My sodium bicarbonate is within the normal range and potassium is on borderline normal range. I am currently taking aloe vera and probiotic. It seems the sour taste is there. No change. I tested my saliva is 6.5 or 6.8 through out the day. However, my urine PH is 6.0 first pee in the morning and 2nd pee in the morning is 7.5. Afternoon the urine PH is 6 for the rest of the day. Please provide your feedback as I dont know what to do. I lost alot weight as I am only eating boil chicken breast, noodle, and veggie for the past 7 months. I have not eat any sugar for 7 months. I don't' know what is wrong. Please help.

Have you done a gall bladder flush? Tried anything detox?

Blood levels you mention and diet you have been on point to nutritional deficiencies. How 'bout bone broth and fresh juice?

Hi Ella...If you have systemic Candida(in the blood, tissues and organs), you will have to do much more than just alkalize to get rid of it. Perhaps, since the doctors cannot determine what's wrong, it's best for you to find out more about your problem.

First you should get a hair analysis done to find out what minerals/vitamins are lacking in your body and diet. A hair analysis is much more accurate(and cheaper) than a blood analysis. A blood analysis will only really tell you what minerals and vitamins you have eaten that day. Much better to get a hair analysis which will show you a good average of the nutrients that you are lacking over a specific period of time.

You also have a reflux and burping problem. To help to get rid of the reflux, follow the advice given in this link: The GERD Protocol.

If you think you have Canidida, then you can follow this protocol: The Anti-Candida Protocol. At the end of this document are two Alkalizing Combo protocols. To make it easier, I would just start taking both the Lugol's Iodine alkalizing combo protocol and the Borax alkalizing combo protocols on alternate days(don't take them both on the same day). These two protocols are strong anti-candida protocols. If you get a Herx reaction from any of these two combo protocols then just reduce the dosages. Later on, when there is no more Herx, you can also perhaps start the main protocols in the above link.

The sour taste in your mouth is usually an indication that your cell pH is too low(acidic). So continue taking the ACV + water + bicarbonate protocol at least twice a day outside meal times. I would also continue with the bicarb + water protocol if you can -- you should always take this one an hour after eating your meal. Taking it this way will also improve and aid main stage digestion in the duodenum and should also help to alleviate your digestion problems.

For normal blood pH, your urine should be within pH 6.4 to 6.8. But as I've said, your problem isn't with your blood pH -- your problem is perhaps more due to a lower than average body cell pH.

Lastly, to help with your iron deficiency and anemia I would take at least one tablespoon of Blackstrap molasses every day. You should also take Zinc(25mg) and B6(2000mcgs) every day for the anemia.

The constipation may well be due candida issues but you could also try taking ox-bile + pancreatin tablets together with Senna tea(once in the evening). Senna is a gentle laxative that will also help to kill any unwanted pathogens in your intestines.

For the pain in your upper abdomen and back -- this could perhaps be due to gallstone problems. Taking Chanca piedra as a tea or as capsules -- 500 mgs twice a day with meals -- should help to dissolve any gallstones if you have them.

Hi Bill, do you recommend a specific company for hair analysis? I'd rather select a recommended resource than not. Thanks for your great wisdom and help on EC.

Very interesting stuff, here Bill. I have known now for a while that what ever I am dealing with, always responds well with adding baking soda. He never mentioned the dreaded Morgellons, but boy this sure sounds a lot like it. Fats turned into plastics in the bodies cells. Most people who believe they have Morgellons test high for silicone in the body I have read this somewhere. I guess silicone could be a type of plastic.

I watched another video of his, after I viewed the one you posted and he talks about the sleeping bugs inside of our bodies and the damage they cause when they are given the right environment to thrive and use their digestive enzymes to attack us.

I am going to go back a watch this again and make some notes.

Thank you so much for posting this video. I have been doing a lot of research into Morgellons and this seems to make the most logical explanation to me. Like I said he never mentioned Morgellons in the video, but I picked up a lot that to me it sounded as if he was explaining this disease, just not calling it by that name.

I had a morgellons fiber. In my research of Morgellons, I noticed two most common things.

a) Many people were swimming prior to getting it.

b) They live in warmer climate

I match up with these. I used citric acid and dmso. The fiber fell out in 2 days, never to be seen again.

G: Your body is very toxic and it will take some expertise & time to get well again. For now, take whole body hot water bath and add 1/2 cup Epsom Salts once a day every day for 7 days, then one every-other day for maybe one month. At which time also add 1/4 cup Borax (sodium tetra borate).

More detox & cleansing remedies will be needed so come back here and give us updates on your progress.

Are you taking Metformin for diabetes? Side effects, it raises blood sugar and raises acid.

Goran, google lists of acid/alkaline foods and start from there with increasing the alkaline and reducing the acid foods you eat.

My guess is that your PH naturally falls (becomes acidic) while you are sleeping as nothing is flushing your system(not drinking water and peeing). Therefore everyones PH is going to be on the acidic side first thing in upon awakening. As for the numbers rising, remember 7.0 is netural and thats where you want to be or better yet slightly above. If you want to neturalize the ACV then you should mix in a bit of bicarbinate soda with it.

Does anyone have any idea? I am drinking the ACV and now my tongue has white coating, and I am belching up sour liquid. My throat is raw from the sour taste. I just dont know what to think about this. Should I stop the ACV? PLease could someone help me with this issue

Serenity, I think you should probably get yourself some pH strips and start figuring out what's going on in your body before you try any more app cid vin. Add baking soda might help but I've also seen the side effects reported by a few women who add it.

I do the organic Apple Cider Vinegar with baking soda, juice of 1/2 lemon, organic honey and cinnamon. I pinch my nostrils to swallow it (because it's gross! ) and follow with a glass of water. quick and easy. just the Apple Cider Vinegar and baking soda is fine also. Sometimes I add organic molasses and dmso to the mix as well. None of it will hurt u and it's all good for u. You will probably burp a good healthy burp too.

I think you are low in copper. Try oligo copper

I believe that Ted says that if you take ACV w/o baking soda, that your body will use it's own stores of bicarbonates to reduce the acidity of the ACV, so you might as well add bicarbonate before you ingest it. From what I have read of many of Ted's posts, I think he recommends baking soda and water to reduce the overall acidity of the body more than ACV and baking soda.

Hi mary - take Apple Cider Vinegar with baking soda.

To alkalize your PH eat english walnuts, Omega 3, will turn your strips dark blue, evey time I drink a glass of water I add about 1/3 teaspoon of baking soda and 5 drops of h202 35% food grade hydrogen, peroxide, for breakfast my wife and I eat activea yogurt mixed with two tablespoons of flax meal, two tablespoons flax oil, blue berries, and walnuts, keep your walnuts out in a bowl and grab a few every time you walk by, I was eating ACV and honey but for me it is acidic, citrus is acidic, I'm 83, play golf twice a week, mow and weed eat two acres, bike and walkout on the road, treasdmill and stationary bike indoors and yes I use seasalt.
