Re: alkalizing drink alternatives to pickling lime

Hi

When I started to make the drink, I did not know where to find picking lime, I used coral calcium powder (mainly calcium carbonate).

Later on I found online a kalkwasser product sold to aquarium hobbyists.

Later on I imported from the USA (I live in Canada) pickling lime from a bulk product company.

I can tell you that the coral calcium is not as good as the pickling lime. As for the kalkwasser product versus the pickling lime product, I just could not see any difference in texture between the two.

If you hesitate, maybe try some calcium citrate. I think the citrate is more bio-available than the carbonate one. Check this thread about citrates: http://curezone.com/forums/am.asp?i=1467722


I know that Dr Young sells a salt product made of four types of bicarbonates; Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium. What does it tell us? That we need those four minerals. Another alkalizing salt product made by another company is made of four citrates. Guess what? Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium citrates.

Ultimately buy the kalkwasser and the other expensive product and compare how you react with them? Ultimately your body will be the judge.

You cannot alkalize properly without the proper intake of calcium. We take the alkalizing drink and its minerals because, with time, we depleted ourselves of minerals, and that we don't have a good enough nutrition that could provide them naturally in the most bio-available manner.

Whatever you decide you will find that pH balancing is a formidable adventure.
