Just wondering if anyone uses it to alkalanize (sp?)?

I read in the book "Detoxification & Healing" that it is good to take.

As it also has potassium, I wondered if it might help with palpitations.

I use it to help my son thru herx periods. He gets aggressive during herx and I have to give this right away or it does not work for him...I am sure it does help with acidity also which his system is...

This is a good product for people with food allergies that get exposed to allergens. But it is not good for people with corn allergies, as it has a corn based product in it. Otherwise, it's ok.

Best,
Karen

The largest organ of our body is our skin. You can use that route also to "detox" (baths in minerals, for example).

Careful with A. S. too close to meal time. Need the stomach to be acidic to digest(breakdown) foods to provide nutrients for the beneficial bacteria (which make many vitamins for us)in our intestine as well as supply the nutrients to our own cells.

Thank you.

I might try this and see if it makes me feel 'cleaner' or better in any way, but make sure to take it between meals instead of with meals.

My son usually herx's between 3-5 oclock. I really only have had to use it twice a day on occassion. More likely the one time when I see an aggressive herx coming. Funny that it happens about an hour before dinner most times. He is autistic and I was really surprised he would even drink the stuff but he does...He is also very acidic and was howling during urination without having UTI and nothing helped that at all but finally it was suggested to give him cholrella and after two weeks of that he stopped the howling. I havent checked his PH in a few weeks but I will and see if it has come up some.

Sorry Dana I didnt really ans your question in prior post. Only Alka Selza Gold should be used for herx die off. THis is the only product suggested. It is supposed to neutralize the toxins and help eliminate them. I have only had to use one packet during herx time. Activated Charcoal was also suggested to me and I have only used this sparingly cause it binds to everything not just the toxins. My guy is an adult and can and does get very violent during herx. If anyone has any other suggestions I woold love to hear them. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated in this area. Thanks

Pediatric benadryl has been suggested to my by my FNP for herxing. It is enough to diminish the herx without putting me to sleep. She suggested it 3-4 times a day.

Benadryl is an antihistamine...so is Mg. In very severe asthma attacks, IV Mg is given.

Need you to think about that.

Why histamine is being triggered...

What triggers it. What electromagnetic "charge" is the trigger?

Toxins. Negative charge.

We are "electromagnetic" and so are the pathogens. Once you catch on to this....much will begin to fall into place.

The nutrients carry "electromagnetic" potential. Organic carries more, 'natch.

The minerals and glycogen have a positive charge. Acids...proteins, fats, essential oils, radon therapy, radiation, many vitamins,etc. have a negative charge.

We need both...but we need a lot more neg. charges than positive (to make hydrogen). To many neg. charges = metabolic acidosis = not good.

Our blood pH can only vary SLIGHTLY or we die. The kidneys maintain this acid-base balance....the balance of the neg. charged things and the positive charged things.

Bb is very "toxic"...neg. charged...toxic causing.

Mg comes out of storage...fast...a lot. Positive charge. Gets too low.

Calcium rises ...another pos. charge. This isn't good. This triggers:

TNF alpha and angiotensin II...proteins, neg. charges

The body is "calling in" additional neg. charges to help. OUCH and major acidosis.

Go back to the beginning...get Mg levels back up and avoid Ca rise, TNF alpha rise, angiotensin II rise...

Marnie: So the calcium gets raised would that make sense out of why my son who has never since one yr old consumed any cassien(milk) and very little if no other calcium products would have had high calcium levels in his blood always and still has a bone density result of mild bone loss in spine and hips? It makes so much sense to me now if this is what was happening all along. Thanks Eileen
