That's funny. I did a test twice after coffee the other morning just to see what would happen and I was quite alkaline. I did notice I was acid after a salad with vinegar in the dressing. I'm guessing there are a lot of variables that go into any one reading.

Another paper I saved recently addresses iron and osteoporosis: There is an evident detrimental effect of iron excess or bone homeostasis which can manifest itself in different ways, including low BMD, osteoporosis or osteopenia as well as altered microarchitecture and biomechanics. These condition...

Thanks for taking all that time to reply Ssa. I'm impressed and happy for you that you've reversed your bone density. You're the first person I've ever heard say that. I found this clip referencing a 2010 paper correlating postassium citrate with increased bone mineral density and improved bone arch...

I know at least one here has spoken of doing the fasting mimicking diet with a home concocted food list that matched the Prolon macros. I’m having trouble finding how to do this in the forum, hoping to see some templates others have already devised. Any tips? (I haven’t googled yet since others here...

I haven't posted in quite a long time. However, I continue to follow the discussions here. I recently came across an article about celery seed extract L-3-n-butylphthalide reduces tau phosphorylation and improves cognitive deficits in AβPP/PS1-Alzheimer's transgenic mice . "In mice the express...

My body never ‘adjusts’ to grain/legume fiber or lectins, whichever causes the digestive issues. I gave it a couple years as a vegan about 30 years ago. People who can adjust to it tend to assume everyone can. Apologies for going off-topic here but I was the same for most of my adult life BUT I've ...

You have to check ph throughout day to see what you need. I'm still actually wondering whether urine pH is a good guide to blood pH and am not convinced yet. This non-scientific page suggests that urine should be acidic to show your system is removing toxins (presumably to include normal metabolic ...

You have to check ph throughout day to see what you need. Hi Ssa, do you pretty much shoot for about 6.0, the average? Does Better Bones Better Body advocate more alkaline than that? I would think staying around 6.0 would be desirable? I got the Hydrion strips for urine testing. The first one I did...

So what is it, does this forum support his Diet approach for 4/4's with empirical evidence or is it more blind faith? I don't think a consensus regarding the scope of applicability of Dr. Gundry's protocol exists here. That said, I haven't seen much in the way of "blind faith". I think th...

Circ, I read the transcript and I did not see where he says sdLDL only needs to be tested once. I can say as a patient, that is a metric he looks at every time our blood is sampled. Thank you for the correction Tincup! I got it mixed up with Lp(a) :roll: I'll edit my post in case someone reads it b...
