Dehydration and acidification – sterol predominance – kill BACTERIA.
Hydration and alkalinization – fatty acid predominance – kill VIRUSES.
Protein is more dehydrating than coffee.
So is alcohol.
So is sugar – that’s why intravenous fluids are often needed to treat diabetic ketoacidosis.
Alkaline treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis can result in the local alkaline watery saturation of tissues called edema – SODIUM BICARBONATE EDEMA is a good example.
Over-hydration can result in tissue and organ autolysis – self-digestion.
Emanuel Revici, M.D. (Research in Physiopathology as Basis of Guided Chemotherapy, With Special Application to Cancer, 1961) wrote …
“Glycerol is widely used as a special medium for the preservation of viruses in tissues. Its preservation value can be correlated, at least in part, with its influence on fatty acids. We have seen that fatty acids have a noxious effect upon viruses [polyunsaturated fatty acids ALKALINIZE], leading to their disappearance in various organs. The treatment with pure glycerol reduces autolysis of organs through a dehydrating effect. Curtailing the lytic activity of the enzymes active in autolysis, glycerol reduces the amount of fatty acids liberated through such autolysis, and thus prevents the destruction of the virus.”
Urine pH is NOT a measurement of body pH.
For example, glycerol can quickly change urinary pH from acid to alkaline, yet simultaneously it’s a strong and therapeutic acidifier of alkaline lesions and tumors.
Gout is an inappropriate defense against MIDDLE AGE and excessive alkalinization and mineralization – the reason gout is especially prevalent in men over 40.
Women are more acidic thanks to estrogen – the reason gout is 9 times more prevalent in men (statistics from William C. Shiel, M.D.).
The normally acidic vagina attacks spermatozoa as if they were BACTERIA, not VIRUSES.
A 12-year study of over 45,000 men, the risk for developing gout was “inversely proportional to the amount of coffee consumed.”
Drinking Cobalamin Tonic immediately after “break the fast” is a smart idea.
Podagra – gouty swelling of the big toe – is a Zone One Morning REFLEX.
The Spleen 1 acupuncture point is located on the medial side of the big toe and Liver 1 is on the lateral side … and dehydration enlarges both the spleen and the liver.
Both spleen and liver are Zone One Morning – Spring of the Body – organs.
Spleen-Pancreas Time is from 9:00 to 11:00 am.
Liver Time is from 1:00 to 3:00 am.
Citrus fruits are used to cleanse both spleen and liver.
Citrus fruits must also detoxify THEMSELVES, and their detoxification efforts peak at DUSK, and their detoxification – e.g., of misfolded proteins – is finished by DAWN.

The caffeine in coffee is anticarcinogenic.
Jennifer LaRue Huget (“Study: Coffee cuts risk of skin cancer: Benefit is most marked for women data says,” Washington Post, Oct. 25, 2011) wrote …
“New research finds that people who drink coffee are at reduced risk of developing basal cell carcinoma, the most common form of skin cancer. And the more they drink, the lower the risk.”
It’s 20% reduced risk for women, and 9% for men, evidence for the hormonal benefits of coffee – even minus cocoa and maple syrup.
According to the studies (plural), coffee drinkers are also at reduced risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma.
Not mentioned in the Washington Post article …
Coffee drinking reduces the risk of (1) endometrial cancer, hepatocellular cancer, and colorectal cancer.
