Re: I have been using the Moreless drink for one week with no improvement
Yeah, I'm with you. That's a rule with too many exceptions to it.
People confuse the pH of the-body-and-its-tissues with the pH of the GI tract all the time. Lists of "acid-forming foods" and "alkaline-forming foods" are talking more about the entire body and body tissues, not the GI tract. Each segment of the GI tract has its own ideal pH, which has been posted on CZ many times. Certain foods like citrus fruits and ACV go into the body as acidic but are quickly converted, and in the long run are alkaline-forming. You can eat a pint of ice cream and watch your pH shoot up to the blue zone, like 7.4. But if you're lactose-intolerant (which supposedly 77% of the world's adults are) you will get diarrhea.
Speaking of ice cream, calcium is sort of its own special category. It thickens mucous and it constricts muscles (hence the need for magnesium). But only a fraction of “Alkaline-forming foods” are what you would consider “high calcium foods.” For people with constipation and/or diarrhea there are a ton of factors in play: flora, fiber, water, sugar/flour/candida, bad bacteria, serotonin, allergies/sensitivities, salt, oil, etc.
