A new component of my work has been centering around attempting to get to the root of my most challenging client cases.

Alkalosis is just as pathological as acidosis. Many people are totally misunderstood and not correctly informed on the issue of acid and alkaline homeostasis. All metabolic homeostatic control systems in the body exist and function in a “negative feedback loop” which follow the principles of dualism. Many clinicians, naturopthas, dieticians and nutritionists assert that it is
