Remember the fallen

Besides my girlfriend's cervical cancer I know two other girls with terminal internal cancer, "given" less than a year to live each in the last year, and they're all in their mid 20s. and those just are just the ones I know of.

Who needs doctors when we have allegiance trolls?

I found it quite interesting when I watched an interview a few years ago by a well know doctor who spoke about cancers being unable to live in an alkaline environment.
If an alkaline environment actually works, I'm surprised there isn't way more information posted about it on the internet.

Because cancer can also not survive in an acidic environment.

Killing cancer cells is really rather trivial. The hard part is doing it while also NOT killing the NON-cancer cells. Alkalizing your blood is a short trip to the pearly gates, and as a result your body has a large number of autonomous systems that are designed to keep your blood pH within a very narrow window, between 7.35 and 7.45. For the record, that is in fact slightly alkaline: neutral is 7. "Extreme alkalosis," the kind that winds you up in a hospital with your family and friends crying because the doctors are pretty sure this is it, is a pH of 7.66. Yeah. Not far.

But again, the GOOD news is that managing blood pH is something your body is really, really, really, really, really good at.

Well, you know that doctors go to college, hence they're useless (and probably liberal)

TeeJay, yeah, cool dude.

(So when you hear about people measuring the pH of their pee, literally what they're doing is verifying that the system works. Basically the most reliable way to change your blood pH is to change how you breathe. Not breathing causes a buildup of carbon dioxide and lactic acid in your blood and the carbon dioxide reacts with the water to make carbonic acid. Thus, acidosis. Hyperventilation causes alkalosis, that's why you breathe into a paper bag: it increases the amount of carbon dioxide you're taking in, which again reacts with the water in the blood to make carbonic acid, which lowers the pH of your blood back to the normal range.)

The human body is also really, really good at managing your sugar levels, cholesterol levels and many other things
Until it's not. and then you die if you don't manage them yourself.

also it's important to consider what your body is actually doing in order to keep all your levels in a healthy range so you can survive
it's pretty intelligent and will sacrifice some things for others - like how it's relatively quick to shut down a woman's reproductive system if she's not eating enough, because it's not necessary to actually keep her alive
and how it pulls the calcium from our bones to counteract the phosphorus in all the cola we drink (and carbonated water is acidic anyway) so you end up with osteoporosis, but you survive.

Our society is geared to make $$ off of people who want to eat healthy. "Food should come from nature, not factories" is so true, but with pushing 8 billion,more of it will.Hell,Farming itself is practically a factory.

I, too, am convinced that the all-natural things are inherently better than things made using technology. This is why I have never touched a computer in my life and prefer to drink hemlock tea to coca cola.

Very true, but doesn't have to be that way. Factories really just take raw food and process it to make it more durable and convenient. No extra nutrients are added, in fact a lot of nutrients are usually destroyed or discarded in the process. Then they have to add flavor enhancers to make it taste good again.

Ah, so your posts were actually from an American troll bot. That explains a lot.
