Making your body too alkaline would be a bit like experiencing too much joy …… It’s unlikely to happen! We are always producing metabolic acids that need to be counter-acted. That said drinking neat chlorine would be ill advised. There are certain dilutions that are required to place alkaline substances in touch with our skin (inside or out)!

My question is all about teeth and alkalising. I expect it could relate to quite a few people out there who have previously been addicted to sugar, but are now alkalising.

I have been seriously alkalising for nearly 18 months. I’ve not touched sugar, meat or any of the bad guys during that time and have eaten an 80/20 alkaline / acid balance diet - mostly raw but with 20% healthy grains. I’ve also done several week-long cleanses. My teeth have been aching since I started this. I had 2 extracted some months ago (my choice, as I didn’t want to have more root-fillings - I already have two but now disagree with them).

Four months ago, in order to try and stop the aches, I went onto a 100% raw
diet. I also take 5 scoops greens per litre x 4 daily and I have an ionizer. However, the aches are still there on a daily basis coming from the root fillings (there is a shadow underneath on x-ray).

So, are you going to tell me that I must have the root fillings taken out? (That would mean I will have had 4 teeth extracted and I’m only early forties). The problem is that there is no really satisfactory way to fill the gaps - implants and bridges aren’t ideal for a number of reasons and to wear a denture at this age fills me with horror … I’m clinging onto the belief that I can somehow alkalise enough to keep the 2 root-filled teeth in situ, alkaline and without pain. I’m going by Dr. Young’s theory that matter changes according to the terrain, therefore any bacteria there should be able to change back to healthy cells. Last summer I had a healing crisis where a fever came on and I could really feel my teeth and loads of catarrh came out. There was real improvement afterwards, but it’s come back since I lost a crown and the dentist had to go down the roots of one of the root-filled teeth again - it’s brought it back.

I have recently heard about Beck’s magnetic pulser - do you know if this
could help? I feel I need to bring on another healing crisis but don’t know
how to. I couldn’t tolerate doing a cleanse for more than a week, it makes
me feel too weak.

I would be really grateful for your take on this - it’s been going on some
time and I need to resolve it.

It sounds like you’re on the right track and that you have a healthy mind set around these issues, but I can understand that it must be frustrating.

While I am not a dentist, I agree that keeping your teeth in your mouth, has a lot going for it! People do have root fillings and not experience subsequent pain, so working to get your blood “clean” and your general health “strong” has to make sense from every angle.

The more that I do this work, the more that I realise that in certain people’s cases, shifting underlying acidity can be challenging and …. take time. It’s difficult to know exactly where you may need to go to step up your regime, but the fact that you feel very weak after a week’s cleanse may suggest that you still have underlying imbalances.

I understand the theory behind increasing your greens to four scoops per litre, but it’s not a path I’ve ever pursued myself or recommended to clients. At this level, you are taking the drink into “food” territory. It’s going to become more like eating. I’d recommend reducing the concentration, while still maintaining a high intake of fresh green plant foods, smoothys and juices. That may help to “wash out” stored acids.

pHour salts can provide some degree of pain relief so you may want to use that. Salt mouth washes and gargles may help too.

Blood analysis with an experienced practitioner should help you to see if you have succeeded in making your blood healthy and whether there are still acids stored in your body. Acupuncture can also help with pain relief and re-balancing your body’s metabolism.

What a load of horse shite, the man starts an 'alkaline' approach to dieting and his teeth start hurting. The advice he gets is to go even more alkaline because he might have some 'underlying' acidity.

Personally I've increased my veg intake and have been persuaded that a net alkaline load is probably a good thing, but this is just crazy. These people are fanatics, completely blinkered to the real world, quackery of the highest order.

Its a bit like Pedo's all having beards and specks...

Extreme diets will fcuk you up long term whether some quango deems it healthy or not.

Eat natural wholesome food from a wide variety of sources and you will not go wrong. Pissants like this have created a little cottage industry for themselves with all their alkaline products.

Its a bit like most sports supplements. You can manage fine without them if your diet is healthy and decent.

The mistake I think many 'experts' make when looking at studies that support their own theories is one of assumption - they see a hypothesis supported by an experiment and assume that the results transfer to other conditions... but they never actually test them and just assume how things will be. In other words they present what is in effect a predictive hypothesis that may or may not be true as if it were already established knowledge and already demonstrated... and they can do so often with very seductive logic.

Am not saying there's nothing benefical in such things as H2O2 therapy, Alkalization, Low Carb eating etc etc, many of these things hit on part of a truth, but I think the way these things are presented by their proponents is by this kind of use of the kind of selective assumption. Annecdotal support of a theory is of course meaningful, but is initself not scientific validation. The use of annecdotal support should only be in the construction of a scientific hypothesis to test the theory... and any definitive claims made prior to this stage are in no way scientific, not even if presented by someone considered an expert with a million phds or fifty years of success in a particular field.
