Re: Potassium Bicarbonate added to water - what do you think?

Eating more vegetables will help reduce acidity by supplying minerals in a truly chelated form that will not adversely affect stomach acidity.

As for calcium and magnesium, most of these supplements are combinations of different forms of calcium and magnesium. Even if it says chelated on the front of the label the ingredient list may still state oxide or carbonate. I prefer the malates myself. These are acidified forms and the malic acid helps with ATP formation.

Breathing reduces acidity by blowing off carbon dioxide (CO2), which otherwise forms carbonic acid in the blood. It is temporary as are most alkalinizing methods. This is why the body has so many methods of maintaining proper pH.

And the stiffness is not from lactic acid. It can be from microtears in the muscles and contracted tendons. Lactic acid again is buffered though various mechanisms or converted in to glucose and utilized or stored as glycogen. There are actually a lot of myths floating around about acid/alkalinity. Too many though to address right now. In short though many acids have beneficial purposes in the body, including lactic acid, which can actually help fight cancer and control pathogens.

DON'T fool with progesterone!!! One of my big pet peeves is that the books on the subject out there, such as the one by Dr. Lee, do not address the problems with progesterone. These include the fact that progesterone builds up in the tissue. Most women that have been on progesterone for a while often have several years worth of progesterone built up in their fat tissue. And saliva testing is absolutely WORTHLESS as an indicator for progesterone levels in the tissues. They also fail to mention the adverse effects of progesterone dominance, many of which can mimic estrogen dominance. Progesterone dominance can cause irritability, lack of libido, weight gain, etc. Most important though is that progesterone actually increases the risk of various cancers because it activates the human papilloma virus (HPV). HPV so far has been linked to cervical, breast, prostate, naso-pharyngeal, and skin cancers.

If you want to increase your oxygenation and balance your hormones then I recommend the herb suma. Suma is the highest herbal source of organic germanium, which helps the cells to utilize oxygen. Suma also helps to balance the hormones.
