If you eat the meat-sweet diet, and drink soda pop, you’re probably too acidic.
If you’re eating a lot of cheese, milk, and ice cream, you’re swinging over to the alkaline side.
If you’re eating potatoes, French fries, and/or potato chips too, you’re even more likely to be alkaline.
If you’re taking calcium supplements, you’re a definite candidate for being too alkaline.
Dairy products plus calcium supplements equal milk-alkali syndrome (also called Burnett’s syndrome).
Milk-alkali syndrome may lead to metastatic calcification, atherosclerosis, kidney failure, etc.
Magnesium supplements are also alkalizing.
By now, you’ve totally overcompensated for your meat-sweet soda pop diet. :(

Colchicine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s a gout and rheumatic medicine.)
Berberine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s in goldenseal.)
Solanine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s the poison in green potatoes.)
Yohimbine is an alkaloid. (It’s an aphrodisiac.)
Safrole is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s the carcinogen in sassafras and black pepper.)
Strychnine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s in the strychnine tree.)
Brucine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing.
Capsaicin is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s in cayenne pepper.)
Ptomaines are alkaloids, and are alkalizing.
Anabasine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s in tree tobacco.)
Arecoline is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing.
Cytisine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s used to treat tobacco addiction.)
Noscapine (narcotine) is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s a painkiller and antitussive.)
Hyoyamine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s in tomato and its products.)
Tomatine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s in tomato stems and leaves.)
Trigonelline is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s a byproduct of niacin metabolism.)
Papavarine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s used for visceral spasm and erectile dysfunction.)
Norzoanthamine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing. (It’s used to treat osteoporosis.)
Serpentine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing.
Serpentinine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing.
There’s a whole lot more alkalizing drugs and food additives, but I’ve gotta stop someplace. ;)
The cannabinoids in marijuana are not alkaloids, but the noncannabinoids are, and are alkalizing.
Yet marijuana smoking usually acidifies. Anyone reading this blog entry care to guess why?

Reserpine is an alkaloid, and is alkalizing.
It’s one of a select few of antihypertensive drugs that reduce MORTALITY as well as blood pressure.
It’s rarely used nowadays. It’s not a money-spinner.
Mahatma Gandhi used reserpine as a tranquilizer.

Re: So if caffeine is alkalizing, is coffee alkalizing too?
Nope, thanks to caffeic acid and other ingredients.
Coffee is one of the rare foods that have no affect on overall body pH whatsoever … until you surpass four or five cups.
Table salt (sodium chloride) is totally neutral too (pH 7 in water) … until you use too much.
Acid-base status is a compensatory mechanism, not the primary disorder (the underlying defect).

Re: Calazions?
Chalazions usually resorb (dissolve and assimilate) in a few months; two years at the most.
Otherwise, she can find the engram, and restructure it.
Ophthalmologist Theodore F. Schlaegel, M.D., wrote …
“The doctor who neglects the role of emotions robs himself and his patients of the tools for diagnosis and therapy.”
Another ophthalmologist W.S. Inman, M.D., observed, out of 200 cases of chalazions, 80 percent showed an intense interest in childbirth compared with 23.4 percent in a control group.

Re: What about calcium glycinate?
I’m more interested in the velocity of elements – and their acceleration and synchronization potentials – than element chemistry these days.
For example, here’s four velocities of calcium …
(1) Fast calcium waves move at 10 to 30 microns per second.
These reaction-diffusion waves are chemically propagated and apparently designed to resist evolutionary change to the endoplasmic reticulum.
A slower subclass of fast calcium waves is designed to protect the brain, embryo, and fertilization process.
(2) Slow calcium waves move at 1 to 3 microns per second.
SCWs are probably mechanically propagated and help in the organization of development.
SCWs are also call slow surface contraction waves.
(3) Ultrafast calcium waves move at 15-40 microns per second.
These action potential waves are confined to the cell.
These waves are electrically propagated.
(4) Ultraslow calcium waves move at 1 to 3 nanometers a second. Six kinds of these waves have been discovered.
These six waves are probably all calcium waves, and are associated with contraction, secretion, and mitosis.

Atom,
I have been enjoying your e-books. Any update on the start of your school? Many of us are waiting anxiously! Thanks for this insightful blog and sharing your wisdom.

It’s all about the Benjamins now, Damian.
The “plan” is to start modestly in a private residence (probably in Ojai) and expand into a full-fledged “brick & mortar” school/institute with cyberspace training available for anyone who can’t show up in person.
Thanks for supporting our efforts by buying our e-books. :)

Re: Why grieving is now a disease.
Here’s another new “disease” – ASPD (Advanced Sleep Phase Disorder).
We’re now pronounced ill if we wake up at 3:00 a.m. :(
This means every farmer and milkman in the world is in need of medical assistance.
Not to mention every Sant Mat meditator who wakes up early to experience the Hour of Nectar.
The Powers That Be (call it the New World Order or whatever you choose) want us ASLEEP.
Gurdjieff, the relentless Enemy of Sleep, was certainly in alignment with the Sufi saying …
“It is a fundamental mistake of man’s to think that he’s alive – when he has merely fallen asleep in Life’s waiting room.”

Re: Pancreas.
According to Swami Nitty-Gritty, its Body Language is often associated with …
(1) feeling one is “not measuring up” (low blood sugar), or
(2) feeling “soured off at life” (high blood sugar).
