Comments, Concerns and Questions: (You may understand these better once you’ve read the book)
Why do I need the Alkaline drops and Greens? The objective of the program is to make your body alkaline. Alkaline drops make the water more alkaline when consumed. I am not sure why it doesn’t test more alkaline when you test it before consuming. When it gets in your body it does have an alkalizing affect. Try just water for a day and test pH. Then drink water with alkaline drops for a day. At least for me and many others, there is a definite alkalizing benefit. The Greens are a definite alkaline booster. Even today when I eat high acidic foods I will drink an extra mix of greens. The greens really counter the effects of the acid food and keep my body more alkaline.
Why do I need pH test rolls or strips? To test results as you go through the program. I tested daily at first and then only periodically. Best to test by placing paper or strip in a stream of urine. Saliva can be used. It is not as reliable.
The foods seem limiting. I thought it would be at first because so many things in my diet before I began were meat, dairy or processed. When I actually got started and got past the awkward stage of starting something new I was able to get creative. There are so many dishes you can make without meat and dairy. Don’t forget that besides fruits and vegetables there are grains, beans, rice, oatmeal and, if you want to pay more at Whole Foods or Fresh and Easy, pastas prepared without refined flours. I love to eat sushi. There are so many foods available. In the back of the book are links to recipes websites. Some of the recipes are quick and delicious. As anything, it takes a little work and determination to get started. After a while it seems so natural. I am like anyone else and have my moments. I drank a second helping of greens when I ate something I really shouldn’t have. The original plan I saw wanted to do a 21 day liquid cleanse. I knew I would have a serious problem. It worked great for me with food and the plan I followed.
