Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Hi Doug, We seem to have similar thoughts on mineral deficiencies. What are your thoughts regarding diet and acidosis? I am learning that a diet with too much protein also causes acidosis, both in humans and horses. I have changed my diet drastically in the last 6-8 years, have cut out dairy, most grains except organic brown rice, and am still struggling to get my pH at a healthy 7.0-7.2. I am eating very little meat..only once or twice a week. Any thoughts on how long it takes to change the pH in the body with diet and good minerals? BTW, I am enjoying the vegetable section in the Endiva website. Pat At 10:50 AM +0000 3/24/02, Doug@ wrote: >You are oh so right.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2002 Report Share Posted March 26, 2002 Hi Patricia, Just wanted to throw my two cents in on this one. Your thoughts on ph and minerals match my clinical experience however the protein issue is somewhat of a misnomer. The acidosis initiated by protein consumption is only true in those individuals who are eating protein that they are not digesting fully. Consuming daily required amounts of high quality protein and digesting it properly will not cause acidosis or even simply increase the acidity of your system. If you are finding that eating high quality protein sources whether they be animal or plant are acidifying your system and you are meeting your mineral needs you are likely having a problem digesting proteins.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2002 Report Share Posted March 27, 2002 Hi Dr. Marasco, That is a little different take on it from what the Drs I am studying teach. Do you have any information I can read about that? One book I have read is by M. Ted Morter, also a chiropractor. It was originally called Your Health, Your Choice, and has recently been republished with added information under a name I can't remember. He advocates mostly fruits and vegetables and only about 20% total protein. I am wanting to learn to be healthy, and am open to reading from numerous sources. Thank you.
