Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 I have never bought into the idea there are lbs. of matter in the intestine. Like I have never bought into the idea of drinking gallons of water a day. When the doc looks inside me he give me stuff to clean me out. I don't get lbs of junk during the cleanse and he sees all the walls of the intestines. I don't believe everything I read, allopathic or alternative. On food combining. I was not talking about the body's ph, but the stomach acids need to be different to process meat than fruit. Body ph is a problem for most sad eaters. -- Best regards, Robert Ratliff in La Chorrera De Panama robert dot ratliff at cwpanama dot net Tuesday, May 16, 2006, 6:49:23 PM, you wrote: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Robert, I had a different take on both of your points. I guess I assumed the go lightly (sp?) they give you before a colonoscopy or abdominal surgery didn't clean out the entire GI tract because of the time factor difference, i.e. overnight versus 10+ days on the cleanses. Otherwise, why not just take the go lightly instead of doing a cleanse? Also, I'm assuming that whether a food or food combination is considered to be acid-forming or alkaline-forming is determined down stream of the stomach. The whole acid/alkaline thing needs to be defined very precisely. I need to study this more carefully, but maybe someone who's already done this will chime in and clarify things. The main thing for me has to do with cancer cells being unable to grow in an alkaline environment, and if your diet is whole, unprocessed food, and mainly fruits and vegetables your whole diet will be alkaline-forming even if you're eating acidic foods like citrus fruits. This is somewhat confusing, but important to get straight. FrankRobert Ratliff <bratliff wrote: I have never bought into the idea there are lbs. of matter in the intestine.
