I have been reading into the acidity of the body because I have been told by a naturopath that I have high acid levels. I have also been having acupuncture to treat the high heat I have. My spleen and liver are working too hard! I still need to verify acidity with a blood ph test but it got me thinking about what I eat etc. I was told to cut out cow's milk as this is making it worse.

I have a pretty healthy diet and take good supplements. Then I remembered that I take lots of MSM plus high doses of vitamin C. Silly as this sounds it is the main culprit, so I am switching to a non-acidic vit C as I do not want to remove this from my diet. I need to get ph strips to test urine and saliva also.

My long-winded point is that if the body is too acidic, it directly impacts the absorption of herbs and supplements. Maybe this is why NBE may not work for some people. I want to get the benefit from every supplement I take so will clean myself up of acid!

I just thought I would throw it out there as it can do no harm to not be too acidic! There is a link between PCOS and high acidity (google will bring up a few links I cannot remember the exact reference now) so I thought I would mention it as I know there are people here with PCOS. I have always drunk ACV in water pre-meals, or lemon water I used to do it to feel clean LOL. Here are some alkalising recipes for those interested.

Feel free to add comment or debunk if I have got anything wrong!

Okay, I have a cool, damp system according to Chinese therapy. I need to fix this. I think this is why my results are slow than the norm.
