Re: What is Alkalarian? Is it a being from Alkalar?
Sun, July 18, 2004 - 8:58 PMWelcome Esme
To answer your question, NO an Alkalarian is definitely NOT a being from Alkalar! LOL!! :}
I will quote from both Cindy and my own reply to Terri below to provide your answer. This tribe is about adopting and adhering to an alkalarian lifestyle based on a mainly vegetable based diet (think of a battery which has a positive and a negative charge). The American way of eating is highly acidic (negative) and the reason why we have such an epidemic of obesity in this country. We are basically eating ourselves to sickness and disease.
Us Alkalarians are messengers to promote the positive charge through a 70% veggie 30 other (protein, carb, fat) lifestyle. And LOTS OF WATER!!!!
We are here to offer support and guidance and to also learn from others on how to live a more "veggie friendly" life.
One of the fundamental Alkalarian principles we are taught is that germs and bacteria CANNOT thrive or proliferate in an Alkaline environment. Therefore we percieve that one cannot get sick once you are living an Alkalarian lifestyle. I am living proof of this, as prior to adopting these principles I frequently had migraines and "caught the cold". Now I know I was overly acidic due to poor eating, living and thinking. In turn, this excess acid is what made me feel ill. In truth as Alkalarians we accept Dr Robert O. Young's assertion that "There is only ONE sickness, and ONE disease, which is the over-acidification of the blood and tissues".
Feel free to ask any more questions!!! Thanks!

Tue, September 19, 2006 - 1:03 PMAlkalarian is a word denoting a combination of alkaline and vege-tarian, altho' to me it's harder to achieve an alkalarian diet than a vegetarian one, since sweet fruits are not allowed on alkalarian diet, whereas they are on vegetarian.
The idea is to alkalize your body/system following digestion and metabolism. Everything becomes either acidic or alkaline following processing. The more acidic one is, the better the environment is for disease to exist. I have read that disease cannot exist in an alkaline environment. So we should try to become alkaline in our bodies.
Most animal food products become acidic, like meat and dairy. Sugars also become acidic, hence alkalarians limit sweet fruits. Books by Dr. Robert Young, and his wife Shelly, that are part of the "pH Miracle" series explain the pH phenomen and acids vs. alkalines. They tell you which foods to eat and which to avoid. Very interesting reading.
