Yes, it is.

It's called skepticism. Any scientist is necessarily skeptical of far-fetched claims that have no evidence to support them. The opposite of skepticism is gullibility. You must be gullible if you're willing to throw your support behind something completely unproven like the alkaline diet.


Test your urinary pH and find out that I'm right. Go on, I'll wait. Hell, even DieTryin' will agree with me here. You're so incredibly misinformed about this topic that even Wikipedia would be immensely helpful for you.


That's common knowledge. Yes, I knew that. But you know what? The flu virus evolves/mutates CONSTANTLY. The flu vaccine contains the three strains that virology experts predict are most likely to be around that year. So if you had last year's flu vaccine, you can still get "the flu" this year because your immune system will think it's a completely different virus, even if it's only slightly changed from any of the scores of strains you've experienced in the past. So did you have a reason to actually post that little snippet? Or are you thinking you'd stump me with some seventh grade biology trivia?


The placebo effect just goes in line with what I was saying. There would be absolutely nothing special about the alkaline diet. You just have to change your diet to anything else and have the expectation that it will help you. That's enough to trigger any benefits from the placebo effect.


Get that off a Snapple bottle cap? It's completely irrelevant to anything being discussed in this thread, and probably to any other thread on this whole forum.

I'd say no.

Stop saying shit like this. I was just starting to tolerate your posts...

Stomac>Blood>kidneys>urine

This, and I would add that the alkaline diet might work for someone that miss alkalines to make his/her body work better..

So basically you're acknowledging that I was right and you were wrong to call me dumb, since what you eat does affect the pH of your urine.


What do you mean by "work"? Because it sure as hell hasn't been proven to do anything that DieTryin' is claiming it does.

If it was really about finding a "cure" or anything that could be a potential cure there would be massive amounts of information about it. Don't you find it odd that there is little to no "official" research done with such things? It's the law that only a drug can cure, prevent, diagnose or treat a disease(yes, this is the law, how does this not bother you?) I reversed my disease through diet after failing with drugs for over 20 years with many side effects.

And yes diet does effect the pH of your urine if that's what is trying to be figured out here.



I don't understand why you don't even consider it. I have reversed my own illness that I was born with and met many other people who have reversed theirs, including people who had diabetes for 30+ years. It's right in front of my eyes and I'm not lying about it, so I don't get why it's so hard to even consider it.

most probably is, we're doing decent at the moment.

main problem of cancers is the fact they tend to reoccur and it's still quite hard to target individual cancer cells so that they're all eliminated. One single leftover cancer cell can start the whole cycle again.



lol what is this i don't even
you trolling?

besides, the body maintains steady pH via buffering, not acid-base neutralisation.



source?
i guess you just troll

Ofc it is.

The only reason it isnt it's because treatments generate Billions of $$$ and millions of jobs. Imagine if tomorrow they announce hey cured cancer... Lot,s of people would lose their jobs (Pharma) and economy would be going down like shit.

You give research a blank chek to find a cure and they will find it within a year.

Sad but true.

Last disease we cure was fucking scurvy. Tell me I'm wrong. Insulin all by itself generates 6 Billions $. See my point?

Ofc people overrate humanity and it's common sense all the time. So people die.

You say we're doing decent and you call me a troll? Lol.

Gee, I wonder why is reoccurs. Yes, get them cancer cells!

"The body maintains steady pH via buffering, not acid-base neutralization" LMAO

Now I know you're trolling.



Yep. These publicly traded pharmaceutical companies don't give a shit about finding a "cure". It's all about how much more money they can make next year with new patented drugs and services.
