However, I would NOT follow advice about adding Nutrasweet as there's
quite a bit of evidence pointing to this being a neurotoxin.
Acid or alkaline? Some answers from contributors to a list.
From a Reams practitioner on lemon:

this
is only true of fresh lemons.

To explain anionic and cationic... an ion is a molecule with an electric
charge. An anion contains the smallest amount of energy known to man.
One
anion will contain from 1 to 499 Milhouse units of energy. It is a

Actually at this time I have slightly less energy than that.

Aloha Lana,
Thank you!! Now this is some information I can really sink my teeth into
(pun intended) ... and wrap my brain around, which actually _explains_ a
fascinating process about the ph situation concerning lemons/citrus/acid
... the cationic and anionic processes are very interesting.
I'm so _very_ relieved that I'm not the only person who thought it:
"seems illogical" (in the words of the Reams practitioner).
I'm printing this up and will to re-read it a few times to be sure I
absorb it. I've also checked out the website and read it - and yes, of
course I avoid Nutrisweet - yecchhh, toxin soup.
Many thanks, again

Aloha again,
Something I just noticed was this particular paragraph below, which I
think is crucial to many of us with hepatitis:

Exellent point - I was given something called "Permeabiliy Factor" by my
TCM doc about 4 years ago because my food wasn't being digested
properly; it was going through my system way too fast. After a few
months on that product (and some acidopholous/bifidus) ... _and_
avoiding all citrus, my digestive system normalized better.

That's what was happening with me, and something we are now looking into
again as a possibility that may be happening again ... acid pH, fast
digestion ...

I think most of us with hepatitis have problems with our whole
gastrointestinal systems in one way or another, as evidenced by the
disproportionately large numbers of us with ulcers, gall bladder
problems, and other GI disorders.
Thanks again Lana, I always learn from your posts (or laugh at them).

I got to this part and got stopped dead!
Electrons do NOT orbit in a "clockwise" or a "counterclockwise" direction.
They don't even technically orbit at all, in the way that planets orbit.
And note that planets don't orbit "clockwise" or "counterclockwise" either,
since the direction is relative to whether you are above or below the orbital
plane looking at it.

You are being pedantic aren't you?

You are just being pedantic here. Neither do sub atomic particles have
"charm" or "colours" or "Up" or "down" positions. These are simply
convenient labels used to describe a process in terms that can be
understood by everybody. You just want to pick holes in everything
because the interferon is making you grumpy.

Isn't that just typical big-headed teacher arrogance? Parents are the
biggest and best teachers any child can ever have. This goes along with
the same mentality that says that doctors know best what is good for your
health! Dan Quayle is an obvious imbecile!

Not at all, articles that seem to be scientific but in fact are pseudo-
scientific need to be called on it.
I expect any truly scientific article to be consistent with scientific
knowledge at all times. Once you introduce pseudo-science, non-science
or nonsense into such an article, it casts doubt on the veracity of the
entire article.
If I were reading an astronomical article and the author started waxing
eloquent about the astrological influence of Jupiter on our lives, I would
immediately question all other astronomical pronouncements in the same
article.

No, not at all. These are labels for conditions that are only truly
understood by physicists (and in some cases not truly understood at all)
but that reflect very real conditions that can be measured.
It's like the direction "north". It is an arbitrary name for the the
magnetic pole of the earth that the "north-seeking" pole of a magnetic is
attracted to (the south pole of the earth actually corresponds to the same
magnetic state as the "north" pole of a magnet).
In the case of talking about electrons orbiting in a clockwise or counter-
clockwise direction, that is simple nonsense. No physicist or electrical
scientist would use such an expression.
Now, molecules and electrons *can* be said to have a condition known as
"spin", but that has nothing to do with orbital directions of electons around
a nucleus. There just ain't no such thing as a clockwise or counterclockwise
orbital direction of electrons.

As we now seem to require such accuracy then North is the
direction towards the North Pole. Magnetic North is somewhere
completely different and it moves around!

No! You are quite right but this isn't a physics newsgroup! I
fell into that trap with a post about micro-wave ovens and it
caused much ill-feeling.
