Hi Rhonda. Most people are acidic, it turns out. Good thing you are testing. I am very acidic also (before MC). Am taking a bicarbonate of soda from Dr. Clark in the evenings, and it is helping. Still have to watch it. Best health to you, Barb

lemons actually change to alkaline in your system is my understanding..
unlike oranges etc...
also youare acidic to start with form allthe toxins etc..a nd certainly from parasites that liv ein acidic environments
and toxins they give off help to maintain that
tha tis the whole purpose in detoxing and also form there moving otwards diets that will help keep you alkaline.
the mor eyou detox and rid your self of parasites etc/ the more alkalien your body willb ecome.
good luck on your continuing road to good health

i am not sure about the useage of a bicarbonate in conjunction with lemons... might wait til after the cleanse about that..
i knwo lemons and soda have chemicl reaction be tween them.. also tha tis part of why you nee dot wait at least an hour and a half after doign the swf before first lemonaide of the day. to make sure allteh salt is out of your stomach..
i myself skipped the swf/ and wen t with a laxative tea in morning/ and a laxative tea at night..
this is allowed in the recipe as an alternative..
esp since some folks can't stomach teh alt and or are snesitive to salt as i am...
good luck
