kitty, so this alkaline diet did not really work? I don't understand. have you had a setback? as for eating meat and getting better, yes, i eat protein at every meal, mostly meat, and i am improving. In fact, the only way i feel better is when i eat meat. i buy organic as much as possible and stay away from my foods that i am sensitive to and i am healing. i read that one can't heal from AF without eating meat. leslie
