And just what do you consider a problem with acidity! Most hypos like I was where carb addicts craving junk foods with processed white Sugar all these foods highly acid forming! Alkalizing is more then just nuetralizing Ph, remineralizing is a big part of it and just as important, so you cant tell be being mineral deficient plays no role in hypo which is in a sense malnutrition! I did improve my hypo by giving up junk foods but the cravings where always there it was a constant struggle until I alkalized remineralized and reoxygenated my body through remineralization! You may treat hypo but I live it! You may treat hypo but do you cure it????
Also what do you mean when you say a patient should be on a high carb diet??? are you part of the allopathic medical establishment???
