I read somewhere that taking a bath with Apple Cider Vineger helps to alkalize the body, I tried it... the only real difference I noticed was that I smelled like apple cider vinegar and it was gross....
but good luck!

If you ever follow that blog of that LLMD, called "LymeMD", he had an entry where he said that with one of his patients they were able to find Lyme (from a biopsy I think?) in her stomach.
Since the stomach is an acidic environment, he guessed that maybe Lyme survives well in an acidic environment.
Ever since reading that, I have tried to eat more alkaline.
Either way, it's good for your health....should keep viruses in check, and maybe that will help boost your immune system to fight the Lyme better.

It is very important,
but most of us do not have the privilege to keep tabs on cause and effect.
If the balance is upset as in Lyme it will effect every body function
especially nerve conduction which has to have a balance to send the signals through the proper channels.
Especially the heart, which is why 30% of patients develop heart blocks.
Heart blocks are not blocked hearts, they are abnormal rhythms defined by measuring the spikes in an EKG.
The nerves are misfiring because the conduction pathway is lost.
I think acid base balance in Lyme is super important.

Thank you all, especially for Hoosiers' link and Pinelady's.
Other than watching for the Alkaline food source and taking calcium, what's the single most important thing one can do to balance the acid-alkaline in the human body?

Probably eat a more alkaline diet - vegies, fruits (unless we have candida), legumes, nuts, high pH water, etc.
And alkalinizing supplements would be good to take, like blue-green algae, etc.
And restrict the acidic foods like sugar, grains, meat, dairy, etc.
You can google for each of these two and make a list of what is recommended or not, and see how you feel. A couple people I spoke with said they felt a lot better on an alkaline diet.

My ND says keeping hydrated helps the cells remain balanced and alkaline. A good electroyte is needed. She says this is the singlel most important thing besides the right vegetables.
