Yeah, I read that before. I'd been going back and forth reading and the main reason I stuck with the alkaline-type 'diet' was because of the proof it had provided. I've looked at blood slides (both live and dried) and there's a huge difference - big enough to convince me, and I hate fad things. They also showed these 'before and after bacon and eggs' slide which was probably one of the most disturbing things I've seen that has me certain that I will never eat bacon again (hey, I like eggs - it's about compromise, right?).

It's hard to find anything where there's not going to be another thing out there to contradict it. I figure I'll aim for what's safest and what sick people seem to be using and claiming is keeping their health stabilized or improving it.

I found in this one book that baking soda does the trick. So I guess that's truly the cheapest way.
