Marshall, The body alkalization theory has always escaped my understanding except where an alkaline substance is injected into the bloodstream just upstream of a tumor causing a localized change pH. The body does an excellent job of controlling blood pH regardless of what is ingested. Unless there is an excessive ingestion of acidic substances that depletes the body's stores of alkalizing substances. Even pH in the intestinal tract is fairly tightly controlled. Studies measuring pH along the intestinal tract show surprising small variations of pH regardless of whether acidic or alkaline substances are ingested. You can measure pH changes in urine or saliva but I think that is because it is the body's way of releasing excessive amounts of acidic or alkaline substances and controlling blood pH.
That said, they have determined a link between low urine pH caused by gout and insulin resistance. Treatment is to raise the urine pH and to treat the gout. Not sure how that all fits in with the book you have. - Steve N -----Original Message----- From: polo [mailto:dah...@centurytel.net] Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 7:58 AM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: Re: CS>The pH miracle for diabetics I think a better book would be "INFECTIOUS DIABETES" by Doug Kaufmann. Talk about food for thought! Going further, if diabetes is fungi based as is the book's premise, this would offer some basis for the use of sodium chlorite for treating diabetes. My sparse experience with MMS was with my dog that seemed to develop canine diabetes and I seemed to have reversed it with sodium chlorite. So far I am intrigued and elated. doug ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marshall Dudley" <mdud...@king-cart.com> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 30, 2009 8:58 AM Subject: CS>The pH miracle for diabetics >I ordered this book and it came yesterday.
