The Alkalarian Dietary Program

[Guest guest]

(Response to inquiry from Swamy)

 

The alkalarian dietary program is really

not a diet, but a way of eating, like

being a Vegan or Vegetarian. People who

choose to follow the dietary guidelines

thus become " Alkalarians " . It's perfect

because it allows the body to balance

itself. It's not a fad, but hopefully a

way of eating that people may choose to

follow for the rest of their lives, and

it has been proven to reduce the effects

of some disease processes. I have to be

very careful when I talk about what this

dietary plan has done for people, because

the government doesn't want to hear that

certain diseases can be " eliminated " from

the body. The one very positive side

effect from becoming an " Alkalarian " is

weight loss if you are obese, and weight

gain if you are anorexic or malnourished.

When you start this program, the body will

naturally begin to normalize, and will

ultimately reach the ideal weight for that

particular individual.

 

I would be happy to provide more information

to your group in the future, because some

amazing things are starting to happen to me

healthwise, as a result of changing my way of

eating.

 

I'd like to recommend 2 books on the subject:

" The pH Miracle " by Dr. Robert Young (a

biologist) and " The Acid-Alkaline Diet for

Optimum Health " , by Christopher Vasey (a

Naturopathic Doctor).

Dear Krista:

 

It is difficult to respond to your question because I don't

want to make health " claims " . I can, however say that I

have several well-known disease processes going on in my body,

two of which I inherited, and one or two others that I feel

have been a result of my inactivity and poor diet. I have a

library of health and diet books, I've been a nurse for close

to 15 years, but despite this, old, toxic habits are hard to

break.

 

I have seen at least one health problem begin to correct

itself in my body. For almost 20 years I have been on a very

potent antibiotic twice a day to control my adult cystic acne.

Everyone always tells me how beautiful my skin is, but they

don't realize that I've been taking medication that has a

possible link to the development of breast cancer, which also

runs in my family. Since I've made some changes in my diet,

I have reduced my twice a day antibiotic to once a day, and I

was fully prepared for a massive outbreak, but that didn't

happen! The amazing thing is that I'm not fully on this plan

yet, but every day, my body is giving me little hints to stay

on the plan. For example, I LOVE Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and

have been used to drinking a cup a day at least, and more when

I'm at work. I gave up coffee two months ago, but last weekend

I had a ferocious craving for coffee. I dug around in my

cupboard and found a sealed Folger's coffee bag (looks like a

teabag), poured in the hot water and Stevia sweetener, took a

few sips and promptly began to feel sick to my stomach! The

coffee tasted bitter, and my stomach began to protest after a

few minutes. I didn't have to read about why coffee is not

good for the me - my body let me know in its own way.

 

And that's what will happen when you start the Alkalarian

dietary plan. Please do look into purchasing those books,

Krista - you may feel more comfortable reading about the

truly miraculous health claims if you know that a doctor

and a microbiologist can support those claims with their

research, and trust me, you will be AMAZED!!

 

P.S. For all the women members of this holistic health

group who are interested in the link between breast

cancer and the prolonged use of antibiotics, I refer

you to www.gyncancer.com, the website of a doctor in

California, I believe

Safiya,

You say "I have reduced my twice a day antibiotic to once a day".

I just thought - do you actually have an acute infection that needs antibiotics?

For 20 years?

Everyone knows now that massive over-use of antibiotics has led to the bugs becoming increasingly resistant, but as a Biochemist I know that this was actually known over 40 years ago, and nothing was done about it.

If they were going to work for you, surely they wouldn't need 20 years to have an effect.

Best wishes anyway,

Stewart

 

P.s. If you know anyone who is fed up with wearing glasses or contact lenses, they might be interested to know that there is a completely natural alternative. It has been known for over eighty years that short- and long-sightedness etc can be improved or eliminated by purely natural means. They might like to look at www.seeing.org , the website of the Bates Association for Vision Education.(It was Dr William Bates (1860 - 1931), an ophthalmologist himself, who made the original discoveries.)
