However, I must add that it is because of the body's balancing action that other things get out of balance, eg when the body is too acidic and there is no other way to bring it back to balance, it starts to leach calcium from the bones and when this happens on a continuous basis, osteoporosis results. The body has no choice as it is faced with death or something less life threatening. It picks the latter. Dear bokjae,

Personally I am not convinced about drinking distilled water and cancer even though the connection between an acidic condition within the body system link to cancer has been known for quite sometime now. The body is a complex and intricately self-balancing system which controls any unhealthy substances taken into the system through our diet. I guess through all the mixed of foods, fruits and vegetables we take make the acidity issue more complex due to anulling each others effect! Anyway I guess more research is necessary for me to fully comprehend this. Thanks. Hi betty, thanks for sharing and I guess through all these we learn a bit more and understand more.

What I wrote can be found in Chapter 7 of Ted Aloisio's book. Btw, you do not have to believe a single word I say as I am coming from my own experience. Even Ted Aloisio mentioned in his foreword, "I don't ask you to accept anything I write....I am sharing knowledge and information..." Ted Aloisio is a certified nutritional microscopist and a noted lecturer and researcher. Based in Toronto, Canada, he has personally performed over 10,000 live cell blood nutitional assessments. I don't know if he has website. Maybe you guys can do your own research by googling him. My other references can be gleaned from this website: http://www.ionizers.org/acidosis.html Hope this helps. Betty Dear Spishak & BobaFett,

Many thanks to you both for your comments.

That would enable us to check out more details. Also, have you got any other references? It's interesting to read Spishak's comment above and readers like me would like more info to make a discerning judgment. Hey Spishak I've been hanging around here for a while. I find what you have written interesting. Sure give a different perspective. Just like to point out that Betty isn't the one who write about sprouts. The sprout expert here is Tarrak, and the other enthusiast is Vivienne. Just thought you should check out facts before you start hitting out at other writers. Hey, Betty

Your analysis of medications being bitter means they are not acidic - in fact, bitterness is an indicator of a basic, or alkaline, substance. Anyone who has had any background in chemistry knows this. Were any of the medications acidic, they would taste SOUR, not bitter. Also, acids are not just "stored" in the "spaces around cells". There is no "filling to capacity" of the interstitial fluid - it's not a stadium with limited seats. The closest to what you're talking about is if the interstitial grows too acidic from deposits, which would result in a pH gradient across the cell membrane, and the osmotic pressure that results would cause an influx of acidic compounds and an egress of alkalines in order to pH balance. The likely bases that would leave would be potassium or sodium, simply because they are in such large amounts. You should most certainly not be dispensing any health advice to anyone; it's clear that you have no idea of what you're talking about beyond rudimentary regurgitations of books you've read, most likely filled with homeopathic crockery. My advice: stick to the sprouts. I suggest that, before presuming to dispense health wisdom, doing more thorough research, specifically on your “Prescriptive Drugs” section.
