I'd asked a question on a site:"Any opinions on pH levels, testing procedures, natural products that help promote an alkaline system?" - Dan the Avenger

Here was the response I got:

The first thing is that there is no perfect state with respect to pH levels. Low levels (acidic) can be OK; high levels (alkali) can be OK. The second thing is that doping the body to maneuver these levels with "products" is exploitative on the part of product sellers and counter-productive for the consumer.

We therefore want to share our insights and strategies to minimize the chances of suffering unnecessarily from yeast die-off reactions.
