Thank you, Chris, for this info. Most people need it to understand fasting. As you know, the powers that be would prefer us to eat, and eat, and eat to our death.

All people in this forum are wonderful, but I am not afraid to fast because of your precious guidance.

Hi chrisb1

Since your post is about the Alkaline/Acid balance I thought I could jump in, so I "invited myself". I have a few post that I would like to suggest to those who are interested in the concept of the pH balance. I have a lot of links I could put but for now, I will just put a few.

(I hope I am not intruding)

An online book for those that are very technically oriented.

"How to understand acid-base - A quantitative acid-base primer for biology and medicine"

Peter A. Stewart,
Brown University, Rhode Island

Peter Stewart (1921-1993) who according to

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_A_Stewart

"was a Canadian physiologist who introduced an alternate approach to understanding acid base physiology."

Chapter 9 - Whole-body acid-base balance

Two highly interesting "presentations" (to me, at least)

1st How you rot and rust (shows why the pH balance is important)

2nd ZETA Potential (views the blood as a suspension of colloids, for reversing and eliminating heart disease.)

And finally a site dedicated to cancer prevention/fighting through alkalizing

I hope some may find these interesting.

Good reading

PS:
Coincidentally, I finally received today the book "The essential Herbert M. Shelton ". I browsed quickly the book and inside it looks like photocopies of articles. So It looks like as if you had the original, as it was when printed.
