Absolutely not! Auntie G's is a concept whose time has come. As discussed elsewhere on the site there are too many theories both in Orthodox Medicine and in the Alternative Health Area as well. Auntie G's will continue to provide logical commonsense approaches to Balance and Quality Life as long as this confusion exists.

pH is a Logarithmic Scale from 1 to 14 with 7 being neutral. If your pH level is less than 7 you are in an acid state. If your pH level is above 7 you are in an alkaline state. Although over alkalinity exists, blood chemistry operates optimally between 7.35 and 7.45.

By ingesting more trace minerals than the body can use to immediately convert tissue acid residue into neutral salts that are readily eliminated the body will store the minerals for future use. As Dr. Baroody said, it's like money in the bank.

The general public is as much to blame as the Medical Profession. The governing philosophy for Medicine is "instant gratification", or stop the pain. Pain is nature's way of telling us something is wrong, but we appeal to the Medical Profession to provide the quick fix "stop the pain", instead of "cure the problem". Health conditions are slow to appear. If we were more body aware we might be able to know when we started experiencing pain of any type that we needed to change something in our lives in order to correct the problem. By Alkalizing we give ourselves the boost needed to correct most of the problems we have.

When the body eliminates a large quantity of stored acid residues, we experience this detoxification as flu like symptoms or pain in joints, muscles, organs and systems. This discomfort is temporary and is sometimes referred to as a "herkhiemer" response. It can be very uncomfortable, lasting as long as 10 days. As uncomfortable as it is you are healing. You should not stop taking your products during this healing crisis. If it is too uncomfortable for you then reduce the dosage you are taking temporarily until the symptoms subside. Then slowly build up to the recommended dosage again.

Yes! The entire reason we are providing additional alkaline-forming substances to our bodies is to help eliminate the toxic acid residues. Not all acid residues are caused by food. We live in an unbelievably toxic environment and we must eliminate as many of these toxins as possible. Candida Albicans, when left unchecked, can create massive problems.

If you already follow the 80/20 Rule, and 80% of your diet is from the alkaline-forming foods and only 20% is from the acid-forming foods, then yes, you can be alkalized without supplements or diet changes.

I cannot afford to change my eating habits, I don't have enough time, I eat on the run and cannot eat right!
When you rationalize you can explain anything, but yes, alkalizing will assist in eliminating most of the toxins you are exposed. Remember, not all toxins can be eliminated by just alkalizing. You must also exercise and rest properly to assist in the elimination.

There are always people that will deny something is real. After all, the world is flat isn't it? "Quackwatch.com" was attempting to debunk Kevin Trudeau's book "Natural Cures, they don't want you to know about", which is where Auntie G's first ran into Dr. T. A. Baroody!

The fewer toxins you introduce to your body the better off you are. If you won't change your eating habits then the only thing left is supplements and prayer. Medical Science certainly won't prevent you from becoming ill.

After years of experimenting with all types of methods to stay healthy, Auntie G's has found alkalizing is the only inexpensive, commonsense method to eliminate the acid wastes. Every person is different and there are no guarantees, but given the basic way our bodies function, although possible, there is no reason to believe you would have a negative reaction to alkalizing. If you do experience a negative impact, back off on the amount of alkaline-forming substance you are taking and build up to it. Most healing crises can be mitigated.

Yes. Diet, other supplements, other methodologies–most of which are much more expensive to maintain.

Dr. Christopher Vasey N.D., The American Health Crisis, Kevin Trudeau, in fact many people are becoming aware of the value of alkalizing. It has taken 15 years but it is becoming an accepted method of maintaining better than average health.
