Re: which came first, the allergies or the disease? (edited)

thank you for you thoughts...I appreciate your care. My sense for a long time is that the pH was a real issue. Now, I know HV feels that the body regulates all this quite well, but I don't see it that way. Of course the blood remains at the crucial pH of whatever it is, seven-something, but in order to do that it must steal from everywhere at times, and calcium is often the first to go--but then it gets very complicated as the body uses other minerals, as part of its intircate balancing act of keeping the blood within range.
And if there is "high clacium" in the blood, or a "good" pH reading this is viewed by the MD's and patients as the opposite of what's really going on. That is, if you have very alkaline blood, this could be all your bones being dissoved away in order to buffer acid. And with the urine pH too,
what you see, is hardely ever showing what's going on on the inside.

No Diabetes. She veers more toward low blood sugar--says she is insulin-resistant...which I understand (new fish, *and* out of water here)as meaning, she does (or did!) better with meat than carbohydrates.
