Actually, no, not more alkaline, more anionic, which is close but not identical. Dr. Carey Reams taught that the process of metabolizing our food involved the interaction between strong anionic digestive enzymes and predominantly cationic food (all foods being either cationic or a mixture of cationic and anionic). For the most part, anionic equals alkaline, and cationic equals acidic. The exception is fresh lemon juice, which would be considered to be acidic, but which is pure anionic. Dr. Reams used fresh lemon juice diluted in 9 parts DW as a way to strengthen the digestive enzymes and rebuild the liver. It is so effective it sometimes causes a healing crisis. After about 20 minutes exposure to the air, lemon juice becomes cationic, unless it is diluted in DW. __________________________________________________________ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
