Can You Explain "Alkaline" and "Acidic"?
I'm still a little vague, even after a year, on what alkalinity and acidity really means in terms of our health. I gather that being in an alkaline state is good and being in an acidic state is bad, but I don't really understand why, or what the signs of being in either direction are.

I am no expert and I am sure someone with more knowledge will chime in but from what I have the main benefit of keeping yourself as alkaline as possible is that cancer can not grow in an alkaline environment.
I know there are some kind of ph strips that test on your tongue to see what state your body is in. I saw them at a Whole Foods wellness fair but the line was too long to try them out.
This website is my resource for alkaline and acidic foods-

Hi Allison,
The forerunner in the alkalinity field is Dr Robert O Young. His website is www.phmiracle.com. I have one of his books and feel he has a lot to contribute towards us understanding our health. You can sign up on his website for a free newsletter which may be worth your while.
You can also read archives of his articles at www.articlesofhealth.blog
Hope this helps!
