...guess what I did today Chris?Apart from digging my rose and peony patch,and apart from spending some real quality time in conversation with an extremely entertaining friend,I too scoured the net to find out more about these electrolytes which Reverett says are important to our ph balance.And it seems that if our ph balance is out of kilter,we are buggered.Anyhow...this is what I read and it seems to make a good deal of sense;


"[B][I]Electrolytes the key to cellular communication
In a battery, the electrolyte fluid, creates an electrochemical pathway between one pole (+) and another (-). Electrolytes, minerals and salts do the same thing between your body's cells in a network many billions of times more complex-and critical to maintaining normal blood pressure, restful sleep, proper cardiac rhythm, muscle strength, endocrine balance, intestinal function and more. Diet deficiencies, alcohol, use of laxatives, exercise, dehydration, and a lot of other everyday realities can disrupt this all-important communications network.

The pH Factor. You can taste it.
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]To function properly your body needs to keep a careful acidic/alkaline balance; the ratio of one to other is called pH. When your body is well-hydrated and slightly more alkaline than acidic you are less likely to suffer joint pain, bone loss, headaches, lack of energy, tenderness, cravings, and a variety of unsatisfied cravings. Unfortunately many foods (including a lot of good and good tasting ones) are quite acidic.[/COLOR[/I"

So..I guess it all comes down to what stuff we put in our bodies,and we should be far more aware of good dietary habits above anything else.
I know this is put in simpleton speak,but i will leave the mega scientific stuff to those who can rattle off big words.

I also happened upon this guy who claimed we could reverse our illness.Would sure like to believe this,but if it were truly the case we all would be hopping and leaping about instead of lurching like stiffs.

And may I add Chris,that the athletic world are taking this electrolyte business seriously,as are vets and race horse owners.Seems the canine and equine sector are ahead of us as they have been on this for ages,to ensure their dogs and steeds have glossy coats,wet noses,and waggy tails....and wait for it...are in good health before they are WORMED
Yes...these animals are tested for ph balance prior to worming.

So..having brought yet another thread back to "bottoms" I will slink away and stick litmus paper to my tongue.

Ho hum. Hope you get sorted.
