Alkline Diet

moxie1 · Jun 4, 2008

I'm looking into the alkaline diet as I've read much about cfers being very acidic.

1) does anyone do this diet and have they noticed positive effects?

2) can you recommend some websites to help me get started?

Dramamama....I sent you a PM, but I'm not sure that you ever look at them, so I'm hoping you will see this <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

Hi Becki!!
How are you doing, first of all? I am sorry I have not been around here a lot. I am out of control at the moment with way too many irons in the fire. Then I caught the worst respiratory virus EVER and ended up on IVs...grrr.

Tell me what you want to know. Questions, comments and I promise I will write tonight while I am on my treatments...

It is a good idea to find me here bc I do forget to PM..<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

What has changed in your life?

Hi Mandy,

I am interested in helping my body better fight cepacia and as always I am seeking to improve lung function. As I understand it, an alkaline body is going to function better.

I don't even know where to begin. I'm interested in any websites or food charts that you might use.

Where do I buy pH test strips? Do you test your saliva or your urine? What time of day to test? How often?

Has your lung function increased at all?

Are you using the Respirtech vest and has that helped?

About me...I'm doing well. I haven't had IV's or antibiotics since November of 2006! I've been using oregano oil (sublingually) to get me over sinus infections.

We are new parents....just got our first foster child. It's a newborn baby boy who is now 2 1/2 weeks old. I'm extremely busy and fighting to fit exercise and treatments into my hectic schedule. I haven't missed a treatment yet, thanks to my mom living nearby. Sleep is also scarce---the hardest part of all for me. I don't do naps so sometimes I'm only getting 4 hours a night. This from the girl who was used to 9 or 10. God is sustaining me and I am thankful to Him. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I'd love to hear all about how you are doing. I PM you my e-mail address.

Oh my GOSH!!!!! A BABY!!! I am so glad that prayer for a foster baby has been answered. Sounds like it is a blessing and a lot of work and change<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I will write more tonight... But I just googled pH and cepacia and found this from 2 years ago. If you can start trying to stay more alkaline you might can find a way to keep it at bay.

Aims: Burkholderia cepacia complex (Bcc) isolates causing pulmonary infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients grow within an acidic environment in the lung. As exposure to acid pH has been shown to increase intracellular inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) formation in some bacteria, we investigated the inter-relationship between acidic pH and polyP accumulation in Bcc isolates.
Methods and Results: The formation of polyP by one Burkholderia cenocepacia clinical isolate was initially examined at a range of pH values by measuring total intracellular polyP accumulation and phosphate uptake. The pattern of polyP accumulation corresponded with the pattern of phosphate uptake with the maximum for both occurring at pH 5·5. Phosphate uptake and formation of polyP by this isolate was further determined over 48 h at pH 5·5, 6·5 and 7·5; formation of polyP was maximal at pH 5·5 at all time points studied. Sixteen of 17 additional clinical and environmental Bcc isolates examined also exhibited maximum phosphate uptake at pH 5·5.
Conclusions: Both clinical and environmental Bcc isolates, of five genomovars, show enhanced formation of polyP in an acidic environment. Given both the speculated role of polyP in pathogenesis, cell signalling and biofilm formation and the acidic nature of the CF lung, this may be of considerable clinical importance.
Significance and Impact of the Study: Growth of Bcc in an acidic environment, such as that found in the lungs of CF patients may be influenced in part by polyP accumulation.
