Hey,
congrats on the 25 years as a veggie. I've been shifting my diet more and more in that direction. The transition is difficult. I'd love to talk with you about any suggestions you have for keeping proper balance in an all veggie diet, like proteins/amino acids, and sufficient caloric intake. Also, have you read Dr. Young's books, either "the pH miracle" or "sick and tired? reclaim your inner terrain" ? I got a lot out of them, and they have really changed my life as far as my health is concerned. If you think email might be more convenient/appropriate, my address is mslarsen@wisc.edu . I left a post below with my take on the oral thrush issue, I definitely side with alkalizing, it has done wonders for me. Catch you later, Mike
