Ground rock? Please speak carefully to this pervasive concern...

Moreless, hello,

in all sincerity, I keep seeing people discussing the calcium hydroxide as if it is ground rock -- to all appearances good, thinking people seriously lamenting that one who'd consider taking this "limestone" must be a complete fool, or is being duped. I am not referring to those who seem to repeatedly want to engage in highly chemistry-based discussions which I confess go over my head, rather, the less science-minded, perhaps less linear-thinking among us curezoners, though no less able to intuit, reason and give thoughtful consideration to new ideas.



In regard to the C.H. My own thinking runs like this:

if it *were* as simple and straightforward as being indeed 'ground rock' it would be no better than the widespread (mis)use of mineral supplements that feature a bunch of bio-unavailable ingredients of the cheapest basest sort, bound together with fillers and waxes etc. and called by some commonly advertised names, that I won't mention here. Supplements that do little more than burden the body's systems, and at worst, are downright harmful, in spite of their being generally considered (by many) to be safe.

:-(

I am not someone with a big desire to consume something that would only possibly build up in my system, taxing the excretory functions, and/or being deposited in joints etc.-- These effects are what I hope to actively avoid, and are at the basis of my efforts to simplify my diet, and get my *whole* life to the point that I do not "live to eat" (or take in anything 'foodwise', whether vegetable, fruit, herb or subtle 'essence': eg. homeopathics, flower essences,).I intend to "eat to live"
in the sense of putting less emphasis on all that, and making it all of the best possible quality.( while not getting insane about it)

I want to get on with the spiritual, which is the core of life, in my view! And just plain life *after* intense 'ph balancing'. But I acknowledge there is a time to engage in some intense practice for a time...and I have been inspired by many of the ideas put forth here.


And I should add at this point, for other readers, that I have not received my C.H. yet, so haven't actually seen/'read' it -- but, if I was to get a very strong negative response after testing it (via applied kinesiology, which I've used for several years) I'd pull back, and rethink it.


Here's where I'm at now: I have a good (intuitive) sense of its (positive) action, and its *safety*, while this has taken me some ruminating and consideration, and a little 'faith', insofar as I have never actually grasped the whole picture of the C.H in either its *makeup* or synergy with the other ingredients in the alkalizing drink + protocol.

However, I now view the C.H. as being not *powdered rock* but rather 'slaked'; and it might sound naive, but this "slaking" to me implies a bioavailability: a change from the harsh (stone) to the alchemical, almost.

I don't understand all the ins and outs of the process that changes limestone to slaked lime--->>> and then takes it further,-->>>>> to become 'lime water', that *then* is diluted much further,--->>> but my intuition tells me there is much occurring between the stone and the actual liquid that is then 'activated' and transformed in synergy with the lemon and the blackstrap molasses.
(not to discount the other important variables, such as density of nutrients in fruits and vegetables...)

so -- that's the way I see it, but it pains me somewhat and frustrates me a little, to feel that there isn't -that I've seen- on this forum YET, a post by you that very patiently and with great care tries to address the what and how, in one succinct go.


If you would be so kind as to take the opportunity, in this thread, to discuss briefly, how it is that limestone becomes Calcium hydroxide, (an utterly different
and safe 'creature', we are told!) and perhaps to try to find another way to say it than you have in past posts, (though I appreciate you tire of feeling harassed) it would, I feel, go a long way to accomplishing that which you wish to -- and that is, (I believe!) to be a generous extender of all the good that experience -and the teachings of others you've respected- has afforded you.


My aim with this post is wholly to contribute to making THIS application of C.H. more understandable to more people, and to ending some of the feelings of alienation and the 'cloud of unknowing' surrounding it.


Thanks to all who've persisted through this post, which will no doubt be a little long-winded. I tend to get that way when I feel passionately about cutting through any misapprehensions and communications gone awry.


best
