I agree with you that there are better ways to become alkaline than drinking pickling lime. However I have been strongly put in my place by Moreless and don't want to deal with him anymore. Its his way or no way. I don't think he is a forum owner so you can disagree in a polite manner and not risk trouble, just an argument.
There was a post on the Barefoot forum about an old lady that eats rocks everyday, I thought that was the post you were referring to. I await to here his rely.
I'm way behind on reading today, I was waiting for my mechanic to call, when he finally did, it was not the news I wanted.
