>- comprehension of things that you speak of ... Funny I was about to say the same thing about you,

Since you are quoting from someone elses article, I have to assume that you are not very well versed or educated in this matter. While I can quote from hundreds of articles, I do not need to.

>- because no foods change the acidity of anything in your body except your urine.

This is very incorrect. The pH of the saliva is also changed as is the internal pH of cells inside of the body. The change from a blood pH of 7.25 to a blood pH of 7.35 is very significant. Far more than you or the author of the article appear to realize. If the blood pH is 7.25, this is a definite sign that the body is struggling to maintain its pH level and is close to collapsing physiologically. At this point, the person is close to kidney failure and immediate action should be taken.

>- Anything that changed acidity in your body would make you very sick and could even kill you.

Actually not. The blood can vary by as much as 0.15 pH units (7.25 to 7.40) and still be within the "normal" pH range. I would however, become very worried if my blood pH were to drop below 7.29. The most active regulator of pH in the body is the kidneys and they work to avoid excess alkalinity by excreting anions as necessary. They also work to limit acidity of the blood but when they reach their limit, the blood steals anions such as Calcium from the body, including from bones, teeth, and cellular sources. This causes the anionically depleated cells to become acidic. When the intra-cellular acidity reaches a certain level, gene regulators such as histones become denatured allowing certain genes to be expressed when they normally would not be. These genes cause a cascade of other changes and cancer develops there.

>- Again from the article:

While the article may present some points, it is a remiss approach to the subject. What I learn comes from my studies in biochemistry, physiology, and other studies.

>- Because they know its a waste of time.

Apparantly, they do not know as much as they think that they do as following the pH of the blood is a good indicator of physiological condition. They are negligent in their failure to do so, especially when cancer is concerned.

>- They don't read chicken bones either for the same reason.

I do not know of any relationship between chicken bones and cancer. There is one between chicken bones and choking though.

>- While you have my condelences for your wifes passing, you are looking for excuses and reasons where there might be none.

No need for excuses. Ultimately, it was the cancer that caused her death. The application of the wrong pain reliever probably only hastened it. The fact that she needed so much pain relief is indication enough that things were bad. She only used pain relievers for the last 9-10 days of her life. The correction of her pH and other nutritional factors extended not only the projected length of her life but the quality. She lasted almost 4 times as long as she had been told to expect. She was only hospitalized twice, both times for pneumonia which is common for NSCLC.

>- the urine change is caused by food.

Not entirely, other factors must be considered. The consumption of certain foods, supplements, and herbals increased the alkalinity. However, certain medications forced her to stop some beneficial foods and supplements. This medication also pushed her back toward the acid.
