July 21, 2017 Dr. Visit

Well, the new doctor is a diabetic specialist. He knows about pH. I lost 12 official pounds since my last doctor visit in early June. He took me off one medication from my previous doctor because my dad, his brother and sister all died of massive heart attacks at 52 (I'm 51 next month). He put me on a new medication that turns out to be $1500. I just laughed (Good luck with that). My first colonoscopy is next month, just because I'm in my 50's. Got my first pneumonia shot today too, same reason. Keep eating bell peppers and dismiss potatoes, flour, sugar, corn and the diabetes should subside. "Type 2 diabetes is all about body fat; lose it and the sugar issue should resolve itself over time."

3 weeks in

It's been about three weeks since my doctor put me on 3 more pills a day than my 74 year old mother and freaked me out enough to find a diabetic mentor, who motivated me so far to bell peppers and avocado. Fact: I'm less lethargic. Fact: I'm one notch tighter on my belt.

7.3 pH and Green Drink

Ok, our bodies are a swimming pool, I'm reading. Most of the offerings we get to eat and drink are acidic, closer to 1 than 14 on the acidic scale. Optimum pH is 7.3 on that scale of acidic to alkaline. When we stay at 7.3, we heal from diabetes. A dose of bell peppers that are not green, alkaline water and avocado is optimum food to move us in the alkaline direction. And there is something called, "green drink."

Testing Ph

Thursday, June 1, 2017:  Ok, I started reading, "The Ph Miracle for Diabetics." It seems to suggest that our bodies are like swimming pools. We take in things that mess up our Ph, and we grow bacteria from our red blood cells. So do I need to buy a bunch of Ph test strips and test all the food and drink I take in for the next six months? Friday morning:  I got pool test strips; the pharmacies don't have human test strips, including Whole Foods. My Ph is not reading. I guess that's good. My ta (Total Alkalinity) is 180.
