That isn't strictly true. What happens in the case of gout? This is when a person has too much
uric acid which can't be eliminated and it forms crystals which accumulate around the feet and
cause agony in the sufferer.
This is a problem with excretion of a particular compound. It has nothing to do with the compound
being an acid. The person's acid/base balance remains intack during a gout attack.
Quoted message said:I don't think modern medicine really has much of an idea about treating this condition because I
once knew a bloke who got regular attacks which were very debilitating, causing him to have to
stay home with his feet up. He had been to the top rheumatic specialists in Australia and they
prescribed a drug called butazoladene (sp?) which wouldn't stop an attack once it occurred, just
prevented an attack. However the side effects were dangerous if he took too much of the drug.I told him about sodium phosphate and sodium sulphate tablets which he took a couple each day for
a year and never got an attack during that period. Then he did an experiment and went off them and
the attacks began to return. He ended up swearing by the cellsalts and said he would recommend
them to any other sufferer of the condition, over the drugs.Sodium phosphate is known as the acid neutraliser and sodium sulphate removes poison charged
fluids from the cells, the poison I assume is waste products from food metabolism.
Reallly? What makes you think this?
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:you need to provide real evidence this diet works, like peer-reviewed journal articles, not
stupid web sites.[censored]. Everybody knows that conventional medicine is geared towards pharmaceutical drugs and
denies the efficacy of foods, vitamins and minerals in treating conditions.
Well show us that foods, vitamins and minerals work in treating specific conditions that the medical
community does not acknowledge. You make the claim. You back it.

Just open your eyes and ears to all the chronic disease in our society which modern medicine is at
a complete loss to cure. Work it out for yourself - modern medicine isn't going to "spill the
beans" on itself, is it?
Why do you except that modern medicine would have a cure for chronic diseases? Modern medicine is
pretty good at prolonging life and improving the quality of life. For example, people with permanent
heart damage (e.g., following a heart attack) are doing much better, in part because of better
treatment of heart attacks and heart failure. I don't remember modern medicine ever making a claim
to cure many chronic diseases.
In fact, much that medicine has been talking about involves prevention: Don't smoke, eat well and
excercising. Doing these three things will do more to prolong the average person's life than
anything else. Add vaccine to this mix vaccines and good sanitation and clean water.
Quoted message said:Modern medicine is unable to cure asthma, allergies, dementia, arthritis, rheumatism, diabetes and
so on. All chronic diseases resulting from faulty diets - but they won't tell you that, you figure
it out from reading alternative health information and thinking for yourself.
Can you provide evidence that these are really caused by a faulty diet? Asthma, rheumatoid arthritis
and other autoimmune like type 1 diebetes and allergies are a result of the body's immune system
overreacting to various triggers like pollen and other allergens.
Poor diet contributes to some types of dementia.
Poor diet and lack of excercise contributes to diabetes.
No question about it.
However, I do read alternative health information. I find it full of unsupported conjectors and
people trying to make money off of products that don't work.
Please prove our contention that alternative health information about diet is correct.
