The links I gave early on in this thread are no longer active.
And I was searching for the link to pain and acid connections, anyway, and found it:

The discovery that nerve acidosis was fundamental to pain is a recent happening[1]. These acids at the nerve endings beneath the skin were first found to be major players in pain. Next was the astounding discovery that many of these same chemicals are present in the nerve ganglia at the cord entry area, or even in the cord itself, where the first synapse occurs. Acid was present at step one and at step two. Then, very recently the discovery was made that at the second synapse, in the thalamus itself, right in the brain, this same group of chemicals forms acid to perpetuate the pain signal. Why was this surprising to scientists? It was unexpected, because the chemistry of the brain is generally different from that found in nerves elsewhere in the body.
