No Minerals Experiment
I haven't had minerals for 3 weeks. It forced me to experiment with what my body does without them.
I have been using them for almost a year. Prior to them, I could only get my PH from a low 4.5, up to 6.8. However with minerals, I regularly got up to 6.8-7.2.
Minerals work together with a healthy diet. Good bacteria eats the minerals too, making them flourish. The more good bacteria you have, the cleaner your colon, so you absorb more nutrition. But also, good bacteria breaks down our food, increasing the goodness we get out of our food.
But now after only 3 weeks, my PH has dropped to 6.0. However, I still look healthy, and feel good.
(The last time I was at 6.0, my chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia were horrible!)
I'm guessing that my body is hoarding minerals, giving it to my vital organs, because it's not showing on my face. (Usually, I would show bags under my eyes -kidney stress, and my nasio-labial lines would be puffy - colon issues).
But I suspect my hair might not grow as fast this month. Also, since my saliva is 6.0, my teeth are taking a beating. PH below water (7.0), starts dissolving your teeth.
Plus my overall water in my body is not as clean, reflected in the whites of my eyes (They are less white than usual).
I also have leg cramps at night, and PMS (both signs of low magnesium - the mineral that makes muscles relax). These were regular parts of my life, but it's been so long ago now, I forgot about them :)
What's weird is suddenly my gold ring is turning my finger green. I have actually not found very much information about this. Most sources say it just means the skin is overly acidic, thus reacting with the gold. (Yes, it is a real gold ring - not a fake haha.)
What I find interesting, is that I have NEVER had a green finger before I started detoxing, and I've been wearing gold since I was 17.
However, my chronic fatigue meant I became dangerously low in minerals. This made me EMF sensitive (
Cell Phone s, WIFI, electricity all make me sick in different ways).
This is because radiation is taken out of the body with negatively charged minerals. When minerals are low, EMF builds up in my body. So I stopped wearing metal (rings and necklaces) for almost 2 years. They increase radiation because they act as antennas.
(Now I can handle MUCH more radiation because I have more available - my PH being 6.8-7.2 regularly, before this experiment that is.
But I also sleep in a silver cloth that is grounded. I call it my cocoon :) This allows the body to absorb negative charges from the earth. This neutralizes the accumulated radiation from the day.
(The cloth also blocks EMF from hitting me in my sleep, so my daily amounts are lower).
But it was a special occasion, so I wore my rings. I believe my heavy detox also means I'm dumping acid out of my skin, in a way that I never have before.
Detox is fascinating.
