Hi JoAnn,

 

Your posts are most interesting and useful as usual,

so first---thanks.

 

I read the article on acidosis and just want to make a

couple comments. I eagerly read anything having to do

with an acid-alkaline balance because I feel this is

central to my problem.

 

However, there is some confusion as to the use of the

word in much of what I read either online or in books.

Acidosis is usually defined as an insufficient burning

of fats, that produces drowsiness among other things.

This is the opposite of insulin shock where the body

produces too much insulin and the blood sugar drops

precariously. Insulin shock and acidosis look almost

alike, except acetone can be detected on the breath of

diabetics who may have the latter. Of course a blood

test can reveal right away if there is too much sugar

in the blood or too little.

 

As far as I am concerned the jury is still out whether

one can change one's system to be more acid or

alkaline depending on the residues left from burning

foods. Also, I don't really see the connection between

acidosis as in burning fats and the same term used for

having increased acidity in the blood.

 

Some articles I read say that you cannot change this

and it may be even foolish to try. Hyperacidity of the

GI tract is something else. At every stage of

digestion there must be the proper acid or alkaline

condition for the process to continue. When too much

gastrin (a pancreatic enzyme) is produced, for

instance, a hyperacidic condition occurs. But this is

only the tip of the iceberg having to do with

acid-alkaline balance. Digestion is indeed a very

complex process.

 

Here is a link that discusses hyperacidity:

Best wishes,
