Hi Walt and Everyone, I hadn't posted under this topic, because I'm still trying to formulate ideas and sometimes my brain doesn't cooperate at all. I mentioned an overacid condition and diabetes before. It's one of those cases where I don't know which came first, the chicken or egg. They say diabetes causes overacidity, but overacidity could aggravate diabetes. I don't understand the whole process, but it's something to do with urea and calcium in the urine.
Calcium starts being used up and the pH starts going more acidic.
I'm not quite sure how candida albicans fits in with a disturbed pH picture, but candida has acid wastes from what I understand. Potassium may start to go out with the mineral picture also. Potassium broths have been used as diabetes therapy. In folk medicine, plants that have alkaloids have been used to treat diabetes. In a book by Kalita a diabetic child was treated with sodium bicarbonate.
