The damaging effects to your body of an acid-creating diet
are widespread and nasty--just like the wake of a hurricane.
First there's the most obvious--digestive problems.
Diverticulosis (which becomes diverticulitis), acid
reflux/GERD, IBS and ulcers are some of the most common
ones.
But then like a hurricane, the excess acid spreads out and
wreaks its havoc in other ways too.
In your organs.
All of your organs function beautifully and optimally in
an alkaline environment. You were born with an alkaline pH
and that's where it's meant to stay.
When your pH becomes and stays acidic, your organs start
to break down one by one. This includes your heart, liver,
pancreas, stomach and intestines, kidneys, spleen and
gallbladder.
I don't know about you, but I wouldn't want any of those
guys to stop working for me.
Acidity also travels through your bloodstream and
lymphatic system and gets absorbed into your tissues, bones
and joints. This causes severe pain and inflammatory
conditions like fibromyalgia, lupus, CFS, arthritis,
migraines and more.
But wait!--there's more.
Growths and tumors.
Yes, growths and tumors of all kinds (including cancer)
LOVE an acidic environment--they grow and flourish in it.
But they fail to thrive in an alkaline environment.
So as you can see, the "hurricane" effect of excess
acidity in your body is widespread and devastating.
This phenomenon is the primary culprit in our widespread
health and obesity crisis in developed countries.
Here's a letter I received that's a perfect illustration
of this.
Nicole's primary problem was diverticulitis. But once she
began eating a more alkalizing diet, she got another very
pleasant, very remarkable surprise:

Dear Sherry:
I'm not sure if your Great Taste No Pain plan has any
proven data for remedying "female problems," but aside from
experiencing similar success to the stories/testimonials
I've read since I started this plan in September of 2009,
I've also managed to conquer fibroids that I'd had since I
began menstruating.
Here's my story:
I got my first period when I was in 4th grade. From that
time on, I always experienced abnormally heavy bleeding and
unbearable cramping (labor pains were nothing compared to
what I experienced on a monthly basis with menstruation).
I was told by my doctor that it was a result of very large
fibroids I had and unless I wanted them surgically removed,
there was nothing that could be done about it.
Fast forward to September of 2009 when I was hospitalized
with a perforated intestine due to diverticulitis. (I
hadn't even known that I had diverticulosis.)
Since no one (including doctors) gave me any guidance on
what to eat and not eat, I did some online research and
found your wonderful eating plan.

It has worked so magnificently for me and I had no
diverticulitis pain within 24-48 hours of beginning this
plan. (Again, similar success to the stories I've read on
your site and via emails.)
Fast forward to December of 2009--when my period starting
changing!
I knew I wasn't pregnant and didn't think I'd started
menopause quite yet (I'm 38 years old). For the first time
in my life, my cycle lasted 5-7 days (instead of 10-15
days) and my flow was extremely light.
When I visited my OB/GYN this month, he explained that my
cycle has changed due to an unexplained, drastic reduction
in size of my fibroids.
The fibroids I'd had my whole menstruating life went from
the size of oranges to practically being "undetectable!"
The ONLY difference in my lifestyle has been your eating
plan, so I don't know if it's likely/possible, but I
believe it is a direct result of it. I thank you for your
great plan--it has helped me in so many ways, including
this remarkable one.
Nicole

SB: Nicole, as you can see from what I wrote above,
making your body more alkaline can most DEFINITELY affect
uterine fibroids. I'm thrilled to hear you're feeling
better in SO many ways. All my best to you.

Now I have a few questions for the rest of you:
1- Do you have digestive problems?
2- How about other aches and pains too?
3- Does there seem to be "one thing after another" wrong
with you?
4- Are you on an endless cycle of pills, getting just
temporary relief (if any at all) but never really feeling
good?
5- Are you always tired, lacking energy, and drinking
coffee or soda just to keep going?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, there is
likely a hurricane going on inside of you.
But unlike a real natural disaster, your internal
hurricane CAN be stopped in its tracks.
It's easy. I spell out the few simple principles you need
to remember and guide you step by step.
It's delicious. You can make my recipes or use your own.
As long as you use the simple guidelines, you can continue
to eat foods you already love.
It's VERY effective. Nicole is living proof and so am I.
I'm in my 18th year free of IBS, allergies and migraines,
and at age 47 I have more energy than I did at 27.
Come join Nicole, me and hundreds of thousands of others.
Stop your internal hurricane and see what REAL health feels
like.
PS: Staying pain-free also means having a healthy supply
of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are
a natural anti-inflammatory and can also help lower blood
pressure, reduce LDL cholesterol and prevent heart attack
and stroke.
Getting what you need is easy--just 2 VitalMega-3 capsules
each day are all you need to get a whopping dose of 1,200
mg. of Omega-3 EFAs. Learn more about VitalMega-3 here at:
