Spill the Pills, Part 1

As our parents get older, their ailments increase.  Is there something which we could be doing other than feeding their drug addiction?

From an e-mail which my sister in Georgia shared with me:

Only 2% to 5% of people (2-5 out of every 100) who get Alzheimer's inherit it from their parents.  That means that 95-97% of all Alzheimer's has nothing to do with genetics or family traits. ...

Over 5 million people in the US have Alzheimer's, and it's now the sixth-leading cause of death.

All the medical professionals in the documentary were talking about was the tremendous hope they had in new drugs for Alzheimer's. Typical. All they can think about is drugs. Money, money, money.

What all of these PhDs and medical doctors DIDN'T mention is that Alzheimer's is linked to acidity in the body (acidosis).

I was waiting for any one of them to mention it, but they never did! I could not believe it.

Yes--Alzheimer's is a classic example of acid waste collecting in areas (in this case the brain), that can lead to this horrendous disease, and eventual total acid saturation of the brain. When you eat mainly foods that are acid forming and don't eat enough alkalizing foods to counteract the acids, you invite acid waste buildup—and all the diseases (including Alzheimer's) that can thrive in an acidic environment. ...

When your body has an alkaline pH, everything works better—and your organs and systems. And you can stop and prevent acid buildup. ...

Rule number one:  corroborate the information above.  If persuaded that it is true, act on it.
