I am serious asking myself, if I am doing the right Thing

after reading Tons of "Stuff" in the Internet like

http://www.alkalizeforhealth.net/

I have started to take daily Minerals to alkalize my Body

Well - it seems to work, my PH-Indicator went up from 6,4 to 7,4

So far, so good

But since 2 Weeks, I experience a low Resistance against catching a Cold and Fever

Does anybody know, if this is just an Coincidence - or is it related to the Alkalizing Process?

Thanks for any Suggestion

if your alkalizing a lot then your body will be cleansing more and runny nose, cough's, headaches, itchy skin etc are common as they are pathways to detoxification. It is easy to alkalize too quickly. Alkalize very fast with an unhealthy body then it can be very uncomfortable. You might want to dial it back if the symptoms are too much.

BTW how are you measuring your PH? salivary? urine?

YOu can also damage your liver if you detox too fast.

You have not been "alkanizing" your body, only your urine. the pH of your blood and cells has remained unchanged. The body has very well developed mechanisms to regulate its pH within a very narrow range and except in very serious kidney or respiratory disease does so quite effectively. The hype about "acidity" as a cause of poor health is junk science to put it mildly.

The only effect of consuming alkalinating substances is to produce more alkaline urine as your body gets rid of it.

Whatever health problems or concerns you were having that led you to do this was not in fact due to being "acidic", and unless you have a problem with certain types of kidney stones you are not gaining anything by it.

However while useless, it is not harmful to alkalize your urine except for a slightly higher risk of urinary tract infections, which would mainly affect women and men with prostate problems.

Unless along with the minerals you are on a fad diet that isn't balanced nutritionally, your respiratory problems likely have nothing to do with your diet. Change of season more probable.

was that a April 1'st post? Funny !!!!
