Well, it has been a long road for me, needless to say. Almost a year ago, I became raw, when 100% for a while, then ran into problems. So now I am now 100% raw now, but I need to alkalize my body. This is a dumb question, but can we be too alkaline?

What problems did you run into?

Just started my rawfood journey and blogging daily about it here: [journeyforhealth.blogspot.com]

I lost too much weight too fast. I was 120 lbs after my second child, then in about a month, I was down to 98lbs. I did all of these detox programs, so detoxed wayyyy too fast. I also ate too mny things that were acidic to my body. So now I am back to my normal weight, and I am NOT 100% raw right now. But I love raw! I tried not being raw in November and ran into more problems, so I felt I benefited with more raw in my diet.

Being to alkaline would cause problems for the body, but from my understanding, it is extremly unlikely to happen!

(Blood needs to be at pH 7.4, and if it goes too far acid or too far alkaline, we die!)

It's possible, just rare because like 99% of people are SADers and acidic.

"Those who find their SALIVA pH to be 6.6 and above should note that their digestion and assimilation is weak. They are prone to lack of energy, weight problems, constipation and indigestion. They have to eat more to get the nutrients because their digestion, reflected by the SALIVA pH, is too alkaline and they can't break down their foods adequately. This indicates primarily deficiencies of CALCIUM LACTATE"

"The goal is to both have an alkaline body and have healthy normal flora. If you have ever struggled with being too alkaline you need gut flora, if you are alkaline and are struggling with not feeling well, or being sick, or have arthritis, etc., you probably have a misleading reading, because you lack normal flora."
