Re: alkalizing the body
If you read the directions with mixing the calcium hydroxide (pickling lime) you will be safe. You drink it diluted as followed by the DIRECTIONS!!!! It's like 2 tablespoons to a gallon. You mix 2 tablespoons of the diluted mixture in the drink. Perfectly safe!
"Perfectly safe"? So exactly what pH does this render? If the drink is still alkaline then it still contains dangerous caustic hydroxides. If you add to much acid then the drink will be acid, which the fool ML thinks causes the body to decay in to a pile of goo. If it is neutral then why are they calling it an alkaline drink?
And what about the risk of hypercalcemia, especially in people with hyperparathyroidism? People calling this safe don't have a clue what they are talking about.
It is no myth
Yes it is. Again the body regulates its own pH very well. Trying to force the pH in to another range just stresses out the body.
Go out and buy the PH strips and you will see for yourself that you can bring your body into a more alkaline state.
First of all the salivary or urine pH DOES NOT reflect the pH anywhere else in the body. Furthermore alkalosis ( a hyperalkaline state) is a dangerous disorder. This is why the body regulates its own pH!!!
