Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Organs are a nutrient-dense whole food that most people have stopped eating.

Well SupportedIncluding a bone-based calcium source, such as microcrystalline hydroxyapatite or bone matrix, is recommended for bone formation.

Partially SupportedThe speaker prefers simpler carbohydrates like fruit and honey over starches and fiber for metabolic reasons.

Partially SupportedMicrocrystalline hydroxyapatite improved bone loss in patients treated with corticosteroids who were experiencing osteoporosis.

Partially SupportedThe liver converts citric acid in lemons into bicarbonate, which can be beneficial when inflammation is high.

Partially SupportedRemoving plants from the diet can be a protocol for individuals with thyroid issues, gut issues, or other chronic illnesses.

Partially SupportedIn elderly women, increased protein consumption was associated with less fracture and higher bone density, especially with lower calcium intake.

Partially SupportedAdequate or high protein intake is associated with better bone density.

Partially SupportedHuman blood pH generally remains stable between 7.35 and 7.45.

Partially SupportedAdding citric acid and alkalizing minerals from fruit may benefit an animal-based diet.

Not SupportedAlkaline water does not have scientific evidence to support claims of preventing or treating cancer.

Partially SupportedCitric acid, found in fruit, is a precursor for bicarbonate, which helps to make the urinary and interstitial pH more alkaline.

Partially SupportedHistamine immune supplements contain Diamine Oxidase (DAO), which may help with histamine intolerance.

Not SupportedOral ingestion of baking soda can disrupt digestion and cause toxicity, including blood alkalosis and elevated sodium levels.

Partially SupportedAn ideal urinary pH is between 6.5 and 7.5, with values below 6.5 potentially indicating insufficient alkaline elements.

Partially SupportedChecking urinary pH with strips after consuming different foods can help individuals understand their body's acid-alkaline balance.

Partially SupportedIncluding more alkaline foods, such as fruits, is beneficial for patients with progressive kidney disease due to hypertension.

Partially SupportedA strict carnivore diet can result in a urinary pH of 5 to 5.5, while daily fruit consumption can raise this to a urinary pH of 6.5 to 7.5.

Partially SupportedDairy and cheeses have a higher potential renal acid load than beef.

Partially SupportedIndividuals with kidney disease may need to decrease protein intake and increase carbohydrate intake.

Partially SupportedReintroducing less toxic plant foods, such as fruits, into the diet can provide significant benefits.

Partially SupportedBecoming too alkaline in the body can be problematic for human health.

Partially SupportedRipe fruit generally contains fewer plant toxins than unripe fruit.

Not SupportedDrinking alkaline water is not recommended; normal water pH of around 7.0 is preferable.

Partially SupportedUrine pH varies significantly and can indicate interstitial fluid pH and acid/base excretion.

Partially SupportedA supplement containing uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, liver, and kidney cured a person's chronic hives.

Not SupportedGeneral tables that categorize foods as acid or alkaline are often inaccurate and require more scientific calculation, such as the Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) method.

Partially SupportedIncluding less toxic plant foods, specifically fruit, in the diet can significantly alter urinary and interstitial pH towards a more alkaline range.

Partially SupportedMost plant foods are alkaline, while most meats and animal foods have an acid load, with walnuts being an acidic exception among plant foods.

Partially SupportedIn a 1930s study, children aged 6-11 months self-selected diets that balanced alkaline and acidic foods, with a majority showing a preponderance for alkaline foods over a six-month observation period.

Not SupportedThere is no convincing evidence that an excessively alkaline diet or alkalized water is healthy for humans, nor that an alkaline diet can prevent cancer.

Not SupportedVegetables contain more plant toxins and are more in need of detoxification compared to fruits, making them a less ideal choice for improving acid-base balance.
