Scientists are showing me a list of the alkaline foods that are best for my health. For some reason they tell me to eat less apples (my favorite fruit) even though they are alkaline, not acidic.
Day notes:
Yesterday Alexander, a research scientist from the Mayo Clinic, came to the house to do my blood draw for the University of Michigan Retirement Study. Chris and I have contributed to the study for 10 years or so.
I have a comprehensive list of alkaline foods in my kitchen. Some researchers and physicians, such as Dr. Weil in Tucson, say that is pseudoscience. But increasing numbers of scientists think alkaline diets benefit auto-immune diseases. My naturopaths call osteoporosis an auto-immune disease. For about a year I have been subscribed to an email newsletter from a lead cardiologist at the Cleveland Clinic named John M (his area of expertise is atrial fibrillation). In one email he talked about his initial skepticism about earthing (grounding the body’s electrical field by walking barefoot on stone or the earth). But now he thinks it may indeed have healing properties. In a webinar I listened to a few weeks ago, another physician stated the same: that in ten years earthing will no longer be “fringe,” just as fish oil, omegas and vitamin D benefits are no longer considered pseudoscience.
I love getting guidance in dreams about the health of my body! I think the dream is telling me to eat less fruit, more vegetables, which was the message from Heidi The Naturopath.
