The citric acid in lemons actually has an antacid effect on the stomach, hence why it's used in Alka Seltzer, but your body regulates it's pH balance independent of anything you eat or drink. If your body is swinging one way or the other on the pH scale, then you have serious health problems.

Just for emphasis for the willfully ignorant.




You are so intense with your responses I am wondering if you fart typing?
I wonder if you're mentally retarded.

Apple cider vinegar is great for vag health. Thats the real reason I'm taking it.
Do you douche with it or drink it?
Only drink it. I don't believe in doucheing. Causes more harm than good.


Yes I agree

How much do you take per day?


A capful. And I try to do it everyday...but really its just whenever I remember.

I'm also a huge believer in taking coconut oil capsules. I do 1-3 per week.
Whole cup of vinegar—

That's what's wrong with you!!!?
Go ahead and read that again

There is a huge difference between a "u" and an "a".....

Lots of food like carbs are acidic in nature and fats hold onto acids. There are studies that show some correlation between having higher levels of acidity leading to stroke, heart disease, cancer etc.

Much better to maintain a more alkaline level. I'd suggest taking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with honey in some water every day. More effective and much cheaper than buying alkaline water.

Make sure its organic. Don't drink it straight, could burn your esophagus.

Or you can get the pill form.



*bonus: its an appetite suppressor.

The whole pH balance for inflammation/cancer thing stems from one study that showed that cancer cells couldn't live in an alkaline environment in vitro.

But in vitro is not in situ. In vitro, you can kill cancer cells with all kinds of things. Salt, bleach, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide, etc. You wouldn't in a million years inject that shit into people in high enough doses to kill cancer cells.

The level of alkalinity needed to kill the cancer cells would cause a great deal of damage to an actual living person since it's outside the range our body needs to function.
Yes they do. It's called chemo haha.

But yeah, I lol anytime I see all this "remedy" bullshit touted by anyone who knows fuck all about basic physiology. People are just so arrogant that they think they have to go and do all this shit for their body when the body works in homeostasis. The only time any of this needs help is because there is something obviously wrong somewhere in the body, and then, fairy water isn't going to fix it.

Eat lots of fruits and veggies, moderate carbs, limit bad fats, keep relatively active,and pray your genes aren't assholes.
Chemotherapy is not safe.

A derivative of mustard gas.

It is the reason people die,

not the cancer itself.


Honey, I've had two parents with cancer. You're not telling me anything I don't already know. But thanks for trying.

Who said I attempted this?

Who said you did not know?

Attitude is so unnecessary.

Come off your high horse.

Your parents aren't alone

in their condition.
