Can PATHS Help With PH Balance?

[future pather]

(I'm not Kevin but since you guys hijacked my thread, I will chime in lol. . . .)

Continuously unless you correct the pH balance in your body.

Please don't fool yourself by thinking you can fully and permanently cleanse yourself otherwise. If your body maintains certain internal conditions, parasites will thrive even if you attack them continuously. And as they are there bc of imbalances, I'm not sure that (continuously attacking them) alone would be the best for your health.

I see the exact same (noticeable) results from my alkalizing and treating sore spots with alternating heat and cold (not to be graphic but I'm talking about what comes out) as I did when I used Clarkia in cleansing doses.

I still find Clarkia valuable, perhaps invaluable in a few ways:

Keeps outdoor pet water clean, 5 drops or so per gallon

A dropper or so added to a bottle of liquid soap (like dr bronners) solved any skin itching issues I ever had from time to time.

A cleansing treatment for skin abrasions when something stronger like tea tree is not desired (good for sensitive spots like inner nose and ear).

I'm sure there's more. . .

Hey, Kevin,
I was wondering if you had any guidelines for the parasite cleanse. On the sites I've visited, I don't see any information about the dosage or the length of time. Fortunately, the bottles of black walnut and wormwood extract have dosage info, but nothing for the cloves or how many days to take the stuff for. Any clue?
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

Here is a link to the program I am following...I am on the 8th day. It shows the frequency.

The following link shows the product and contents of each supplement.

Hi Jessica, sorry for the hijack. I agree with you on keeping the PH right or else it will just be a tug-a-war.

No worries Kev, it happens all the time. Plus I've enjoyed the discussion

[ImBill]

Thanks to both of you for the valuable info. I've slowly been moving my diet away from the crap I've been used to eating all my life with an eye towards a more alkaline than acidic intake. I've pretty much made up my mind now to do the lemonade diet/master cleanse for 10-14 days but wanted to do a parasite cleanse first just in case. Once I've got every thing cleaned out and in good working order, I'll definitely be working hard on doing a better job with the intake of food.

Thanks again!

[Kevin]

Update:

I am on the 17th day of my cleansing/flush program.

17 more days to go and will have a full report.

So far everything is working as stated, very little discomfort.

[Kevin]

Saturday I start the flush

[ImBill]

Good luck!! Here's hoping everything comes out okay...

[Kevin]

Good luck!! Here's hoping everything comes out okay...

Finished up last night.

Got somewhere between 400-500 stones expelled.

I am feeling much lighter and cleaner. A bit more energy too.

Now that I have done all the prep work, they say I can do just the flush as often as every 2 weeks.

Since the average person as around 2000 stones, and since I have always been heavy on dairy products (which are a large cause of stones), I am planning on doing another flush in August!

[Kevin]

Jessica, now that I am done with the cleanse and flush, I am going to start measuring my pH and taking whatever steps needed to stay slightly alkaline.

I just re-read thru all your posts....what has your experience been?

Are you now slightly alkaline?

If so, what do you attribute it to?

PATHS instructions?

Baking soda?

???


Thanks!

Kevin,

I'll try to remember to take a reading in the morning. However reading pH can be tricky.

I tended to trust my saliva readings when I just woke up but I later read if you are over 40 that won't be accurate.

I think the best way to think about it is that there is acid rain therefor it's logical to conclude that you are most likely too acidic. Our environment does that to rain, our oceans and to us. There are lakes now which look really peaceful but are actually totally acidic and therefor basically dead. Look into acid rain for more about that.

The exception would be if you encountered an alkaline toxin, like you drank lye or bleach.

Generally we want a neutral pH, 7.2. Too alkaline is bad but that is seldom the case. Too acid is bad and that is very very common.

I would probably go more by symptoms than readings. For example, do you have any joints that are ever stiff or sore? That is bc of bone spurs that come bc being too acidic erodes calcium which lands as spurs, stones, and artery plaque. The spurs can be anywhere but when they are in your joints it leads to arthritis.

I would say your experience supports that you are too acidic. The stones were that calcium that could not bond to your bones bc of the acidic environment.

High bad cholesterol is another indicator. That is the artery plaque.

Next post on ways to alkalize. . .

It's probably a matter of personal preference how you want to alkalize.

There are diets and supplements.

If you are someone who can get into diet methods, I suggest looking at the info from Dr. Young pH Miracle Living

He has hard core diets for people with cancer and serious illnesses.

He has books and blogs.

If you look up alkalizing supplements you will find a ton. I think you can check out what looks good to you.

This is what I do:

I take Swanson Vitamins Alkalizing Formula Swanson pH Balance Alkalizing Formula 1 lb 5 oz (595 grams) Pwdr - Swanson Health Products . It does require a blender (I have the stick kind now that goes right in the glass). I always mix it in apple juice bc, as Aaron taught me, it has malic acid which breaks down that artery plaque. I like to add a little vanilla soy milk as well just to make it creamy.

And I get spirulina or afa blue green algae in powder now so I just throw that right in. The finished shake pretty much tastes like apple juice.

I also buy sodium bicarbonate tablets and pop them quite frequently throughout the day. The daily max on them in 24 tablets(!) Even though they are so benign, main stream pharmacies tend to want a prescription tp sell them (lol this is baking soda we are talking about).

You can buy them on amazon.com or I found a non-chain pharmacy that sells them to me 200 for $6. Use these instead of any other ant-acid you might take and take them if you feel heartburn or if they just feel good to your body.

I used to add water drops called Alka-Trace (trace minerals) to my filtered water to bring up the pH. Lately I've been buying Fiji water. It is the only bottled water I am aware of that lists its pH (7.5). I happened to get some while traveling recently and it felt so great on my body that I keep getting it now.

(Oh yeah you can also buy alkaline water that is higher than 7.5 as a way to increase alkalinity. I don't know what brands are best. I think Dr. Young has one.)

If you want a short read (about 120 pages) on more detail about how acidity affects the body I recommend The Acidic Danger by Wolfgang Auer.

Other things to keep in mind are that mild exercise is said to alkalize while strenuous exercise causes an acidic reaction (thus the burn). And even pleasant thoughts are said to alkalize while stressful ones are said to do the opposite.

There is a bit of conflicting info on the net about which foods alkalize. I think avocados and cucumbers were always said to alkalize on every list I found. In general I think the long told recommendations are best for diet: try to eat whole foods, fruits, veggies, whole grains and not too much junk.

I believe the macrobiotic diet alkalizes.

I also want to make it clear that I feel better than the day before every day and attribute that completely to alkalizing.

I could be more aggressive about my diet in ways Dr. Young suggests but I am more a slow steady person when it comes to things like that so my plan is very long term.

It is probably going to be a life long issue for all of us unless our environment changes.

The other thing I am focused on right now is applying that alternating heat and cold to any joints or places that feel soar. That has been doing wonders for me as far as getting overall energy back and healing specific places. I believe it is supporting my body in healing those bone spurs in addition to the internal support I am doing with the shake, etc.

I really feel like I am going to live a great, healthy life for an extremely long time now

Btw here is what the EPA's site says on the efforts to reduce acid rain:

When fully implemented by the year 2010, the public health benefits of the Acid Rain Program are estimated to be valued at $50 billion annually, due to decreased mortality, hospital admissions, and emergency room visits.

Effects of Acid Rain - Human Health | Acid Rain | Clean Air Markets | US EPA

I think that makes it crystal clear that it is wise for us to combat acidity on an individual basis.

PATHS instructions?

I would definitely recommend PATHS instructions if you want for this as well. I think it was the cellular health mod that helped me understand all this since it has instructions to alkalize blood and that is hard to do without the right things going into the body.

It looks like there is a new mod in the works as well for Understanding pH.

Jessica,

for all the great info. I have read your most recent posts, and am going to read the links you gave. Will make a gameplan and go from there.
