I forgot you mentioned that you had Fibro (sorry). My info is somewhat out of date now and I am sure more has been learned about alkali/acid levels and health by now, but what we learned and from our own experience there really does seem to be a connection between the body's PH and pain. Those with poor health will almost always have higher acidity levels. Oh, and stress can be a major contributor!

Good point (re: PH and pain), stress and fibro are synonymously linked.

If you do find anything of interest I would reeeely like to hear. As although my sisters Fibro is mostly under control now, it does flair up on occasion and she is incapacitated when it does. Guessing you know what that's like? :-(

That's cool, thanks for the tip, unfortunately I know all to well how fibro works.

It seems quite possible there is a cross connection. Lowering acidity or keeping it in balance has a wide range of health benefits. Lemons are acidic outside the body, but, alkalizing in our bodies and can help raise PH levels. I like lemon water for this application, additionally— Salmon, Sardines, CoQ10, (personal choice is astaxanthin) help ease fibro pain and raise PH. Short term use of licorice root helps relieve Fibromyalgia pain.
