YOUR QUESTION:
If the calcium hydroxide is corrosive (even when used in the bath), how come we are supposed to eat it???
ANSWER:
There has been a lot of misinformation and fear spread about Calcium Hydroxide. Perhaps the drug companies and even supplement companies want to create an environment of fear to drive people away from such a cost efficient and effective calcium supplement. Whenever you see a food substance that is "fortified with calcium" (i.e. Orange Juice), the type of calcium is more than likely calcium hydroxide.
As far as it being corrosive, any alkaline mineral or any substance can be toxic if taken in excessive concentration. You can even poison yourself with too much water.
Using the calcium hydroxide in the context of the protocol (1 tablespoon diluted in 1 gallon of distilled water to create lime water which is then used in small amounts to add calcium to the alkalizing drink) is quite safe. I've been taking it for over 2 years every single day in amounts even exceeding the protocol as listed on the forum and I have seen no ill effects. In fact quite the opposite, I've experienced a life changing health transformation.
YOUR QUESTION:
If I follow the protocol semi-diligently (I cannot live of cabbage alone), how long before I see a difference?
ANSWER:
When I started the protocol I was more than semi-diligent and I saw significant positive changes within a week. Everyone is different but I would imagine that if you commit to doing the entire protocol, you should see noticeable effects quick enough to be very encouraged to continue.
I suggest that you start a protocol diary where you list everything that you eat and all elements of the protocol that you do each day. You can also track a list of your symptoms and assign percentages to their improvements. This will help you notice subtle cause and effect patterns with the protocol and your symptoms and help you make small tweaks. It will also help you to remain grateful by giving you a reference point for the progress that you are going to make. You'll be amazed at how small little health obstacles encountered 6 months or a year into the protocol can cause you to forget all the progress that you have made and lose your "attitude of gratitude."
YOUR QUESTION:
Will I experience a candida die-off reaction on my skin, or through my bowels?
ANSWER:
There are some healing reactions associated with the protocol and everyone's reactions will be slightly different. As organs that have been dormant begin to receive the necessary electromagnetic energy from the reaction of alkaline minerals with acids, they may dump some acids into your lymphatic system and this may cause
reactions.
You can reduce this greatly by taking things slowly:
1. using smaller amounts of the ingredients in the alkalizing drink and drinking the drink slowly throughout the day.
2. starting will smaller amounts of the epsom salt and the baking soda for the baths or even doing baths with just hydrogen peroxide to start.
Any healing reactions or candida die-off that you experience will be very minimal when compared to trying to overcome these challenges by "killing" candida/parasites with anti-fungals other approaches. They will also be much less than you would experience doing kidney or liver flushes.
YOUR QUESTION:
Why the BSM and the kelp?
ANSWER:
Your body needs electromagnetic energy of all different frequencies to function properly. This energy is released by different alkaline minerals reacting with acids in your body or in the alkalizing drink via the lemon or acv. Calcium is one of the most important minerals which is why we use the calcium hydroxide in the lime water. But other minerals are important as well.
Blackstrap molasses (BSM) is the concentrated minerals in sugar cane after the refined white sugar has been separated out. BSM provides calcium, manganese, copper, iron, potassium, and magnesium. It also provides a source of live carbons so that when the weak acid (lemon juice, acv) is reacted with the calcium (lime water), it will form a complexed carbohydrate similar to what you may get in a high quality fruit or vegetable. This makes the calcium and other minerals bio-available even for someone with weakened digestion. It also ensures that the energy release from the minerals and natural sugar will be done in a slower and more manageable way that does not over stress or sap minerals from your body.
The Kelp provides a good source of natural sodium, iodine and all the other trace minerals that your body needs to function.
The principle is to provide your body with a suite of minerals in a form that your body can easily utilize to reduce the acidity of your body and to power your organs with the necessary electromagnetic energy.
QUESTION:
And lastly, if I dont do liver and kidney cleanses, how can I support them? Mine are really really bad.
ANSWER:
The complete protocol provides your body with the necessary alkaline minerals to support your liver and kidneys. For example people that do liver flushes take huge amounts of epsom salts in a short period of time to shock their liver into expelling acids and stones. However you can accomplish the same goal, slowly over time by taking a pinch of Epsom salt with your meal and drinking the alkalizing drink.
