RE: Weekly Shots or Veggies? Preventing and Reversing Autoimmune Disease with Food (Real Life Experience)
Inspiring story. Congratulations in getting MS under control. I'd have thought that all animal products such as dairy, eggs and meat would be acidifying and should be avoided. Would love to know why you still include them in the diet.
Also surprised you consider chickpeas a 'processed food'!
Thanks @veganic for your comment! For me, canned chickpeas are processed foods. Additives are added in the canning process. I prefer to cook big batches of dried chickpeas and then freeze them for later. Though organic eggs, dairy, and meat are acidifying you can still eat them, if you are not a vegan of course, since a 100 % percent alkaline diet can make you sick too, just as having too many acidic ashes or residues. The acid-base rule actually comes down to 80 percent alkaline-forming foods and 20 percent acid-forming foods (including seeds, nuts, grains, dairy, etc). Or something close to this ratio. When it comes to these foods moderation is key. But I make a post about it soon!
