Remission is what people go into when there symptoms of cancer or disease are bullied into hiding by drugs, where as with diet, well, cancer ends up in the toilet given enough time.
lmao, you can't possibly think you can shit out cancer... Besides, the medical definition of remission is a state of when a long-term disease or cancer no longer displays any symptoms. Indefinite remission is another way of saying "cured" and yet you're trying to drive a wedge between these just so that you can try to say that your approach is superior to the medical approach.

There's much misconception with an alkaline/acid diet I've noticed, people seem to think that you have to make your body ph super alkaline or something, which is true in extreme cases but only temporary, then after that all you have to do is diet to support the pH of your body which is 7.365. I mean, you can agree that the body must maintain its delicate pH or else we will suffer right?
The body maintains its own pH system, and very effectively. I've posted MD sources stating that your food intake has little to no effect on your body's pH. It only affects urinary pH.

Take into consideration the diet that most people have in our western countries, almost there whole week of eating consists of meat, diary, otc drugs, sugar filled condiments, soft drinks, fast food, alcohol, high sugar sport drinks, etc. All of these things range in pH from like 3.0-6.5 roughly. All of the functions of the body create acid. Now take into consideration that it takes 20 parts alkalinity to neutralize 1 part acidity.
Random statements like this make me think you've never taken a course in chemistry in your life. Acid-base neutralization is a 1-to-1 reaction. One H+ ion neutralizes one OH- ion.

This is just to neutralize it, where as the goal is to alkalize. With these things in mind, would it not make sense to keep our diets more alkaline? We must help our bodies support that delicate pH of 7.365, we shouldn't be forcing our bodies to do it on its own which most of us do.
Diet doesn't affect blood pH. Think it does? Prove me wrong with a REAL source. No more sketchy websites that look like they were designed using Geocities in the mid-90's or "articles" that are unpublished because they cannot stand up to the peer review process..

I haven't done a 180, my food is my medicine, and my medicine is my food. Treatment is a proper diet, you can either go into remission by bullying your symptoms into hiding with powerful pharmaceuticals, or you can let your body work its magic given the proper tools.
