Re: WONDERFUL NEWS!!!
I don't believe other people out there without this problem would have the same problem as us if they ripped their lip skin off.
The stool test said normal ph level of the stool should be between 6 - 7.2 but mine was 5.2
It said in the test 'an acidic pH, below 6.0 is usually reflective of a rapid transit time, eg diarrhea or loose stools. Further investigation as to the cause of diarrhea such as
food allergy intolerance, viral, bacterial, parasitic infection, irritable bowel syndrome may be warranted.'
This interests me because
Andreas Moritz said the problem was that the intestines had become too acidic. My natropath said my result was too acidic because of the high bacterial (staph) infection. Also, in Andreas' book 'Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation' he says that a little known fact about 'bile' is that it de-acidifies the intestines. My stool test showed that I had elevated triglycerides in my stool. This relates to the breaking down of fat which is mainly done by bile. To quote from the test "Elevated levels of triglycerides in the stool may indicate a disruption in the digestive mechanisms required for the adequate breakdown and absorbtion of triglycerides, including bile output and lypoltic activity. That is why I am encouraging people to liver cleanse as I think we need to correct our digestion also.
You are right when you say changing our diet is not the only thing that will help our acidity level. When I did the stool test I made sure I was eating mostly alkaline foods so I know that the acidity level in the stool was not to do with eating too much acid-forming foods. Therefore I feel it must be to do with me perhaps not producing enough bile (as Andreas says), and the fact that I have such high staph levels.
Good luck with your stool test, I hope it gives you some answers like it has me.
