This may seem far fetched and you’ll have to bear with me. First my symptoms started a month or two ago which was first I noticed vertical ridges on finger and toe nails. Then my hair started getting thinner. I used to have really thick hair but now it is half gone. I had fatigue to the point that I...

I was at my allopathic primary care doctor's yesterday and we went over my current supplements. She supported all these to help address my osteopenia, and I need to track my calcium intake for a bit to see how much calcium citrate to supplement. I wasn't taking selenium, zinc or magnesium for my bo...

Some “scholars” scoff at worrying about urine ph. They say it’s “stupid” because the body keeps your blood ph in a tight range. That is the point though. If you eat a lot of acidic food, which for example too much protein and not enough fruits and vegetables (potassium) then your body has to take it...

I too noticed lately that my usually alkalizing lunch salad that I was acidic. I usually choose a creamy dressing like blue cheese or ranch but I need to drop about 10lbs I put on during the holidays. So I have switched to Italian dressing and skip the cheese. I’ll add more calcium or take an extra ...

Wow, how soon after did you test? It usually takes a couple hours or more but after the diuretic effects kick in, I can go completely acidic. Do you drink black coffee ? Do you put any creamer, milk, almond or soy or dairy?

I wanted to add that yes I do try to stay around 6 or 7 ph. It’s not good to move higher and be in the blue. Sometimes I over supplement and I’m too alkaline when I wake up. My coffee quickly brings it back down I take my b vitamins in morning now and wait to do my potassium. I just read b vitamins ...
