I believe that we must alkalize or die as one bk states

[gracefultruth]

Hi there,
I have just been diagnosed with early stage 0, Breast Cancer and am using an enzyme alternative treatment but just started friday night; it is a very intense constant struggle and looks like I will be home a lot doing this rigid schedule to try to avoid a lumpectomy, radiation and worse a mastectomy. The enzyme therapy protocol is suggested by a U.S. company in Georgia called TumorX. I can't afford the whole protocol but am doing what I can. I have had to substitue some things for other things which some people do and still win the battle by killing the cancer cells. one of the detox methods involves coffee, organic. I found this site by googling acid and alkaline foods which I know a lot about already but can't seem to find information on some items such as sesame seeds, coffee , just to name two foods. Please let me know if you have any idea if either or both of these might be alkaline. I suspect coffee is acid forming but am not sure. Thank you for this forum.

Hi there,

Welcome to the forum!

Coffee is unfortunately 'highly acidic' due to its caffeine. It is also dehydrating, which is why you need to drink a lot of healthy water if you drink your occassional coffee.

Dr Robert Young, one of the pioneers in the field of alkalising, really recommends to stay off coffee. According to him research has shown that cancer cells can live indefinitely in coffee. Hence we generally recommend to cut out coffee consumption as much as possible and view it more as a special treat on rare occassions.

Seeds like sesame seeds are generally 'mildly to highly alkaline' and highly recommended in the Acid/Alkaline Diet. They should be an integral part of your alkaline diet.

I hope this info helps, but please let us know if we can help any further.

Regards,

Bibi
