** ph balancing adrenals thyroid and blood pressure
Since starting to use the alk drink and detox baths, I no longer seem to need to do enemas, bowel cleanses, parasite cleanses, or take anything for the candida I had for YEARS! At times in the past, these seemed never ending, with little to show for my time and effort. Also adjusted diet toward more organic, less meat (even organic, free range) more alkaline producing (for me personally, as indicated by testing with PH strips) and started eliminating prescription and massive use of suppliments. OPing 4-6 X a day.
Improvment happened quite quickly, within a month. Perhaps because I was able and willing to spend considerable time studying what to do, documenting what I did, asking questions and adjusting my regimen (as ML recommends!!!)
By the third week: Checked my BP because had noticed a pounding pulse in my head sometimes. Blood pressure, formerly low, now all over the chart, but feeling good! Pulse also elevated when formerly slow. After researching what to do, cut out the many vitamins and suppliments that I was taking to support my adrenals and thyroid, and cut my dose of Armour thyroid in half, from 90 to 45 mg. BP was better, but not stable.
Turned out that the other contributing factor to unstable BP was pesticide and herbicide. Unfortunately, this exposure came from my plot at the local community gardens, so back to eating from the farmer's markets. I am grateful to have several within a 5 mile radius of my home!
CAUTION: I would recommend that anyone who is older, overweight and/or has spent a lot of time being sedentary get a wrist cuff blood pressure monitor. I find that my BP, which used to be low, is now all over the charts as my adrenals and thyroid kick in and I attempt to optimize the ratio of alkalizing ingedients. One can't tell that one's BP is high just by how one feels!!!
Using potassium chloride and a fancy "sea salt" from the health food store as well as "tri salts" (potassium bicarbonate and sodium bicarbonate, basically homemade Alkaseltzer Gold) greatly contibuted to my throid/adrenal problems and cold sensitiviy. Once I found the info on this site regarding ratios of the alkilsing nutrients contributing to my problem and need for natural sodium from kelp, adusting the ammount of kelp I used made a huge difference, literally overnight.
Both BP and cold sensitivity dramatically improved.
I am now confident that I can eventually GET OFF THYROID MEDS AND MOST SUPPLIMENTS and have normal energy, no cold sensitivity, resonably normal body temp. Mine had been low for YEARS!!
Saving lots of time, effort and money while getting better health is a great deal!
Thanks to everyone here at Curezone for your help, especially ML!
