Hello, I'm five years after chemotherapy, the results are good, but I feel like I haven't fully recovered. A friend recommended me and I have been using alkaline powder recently. It says to drink it once a day, but somewhere on the internet I found information that you can use it more often. For example: "when using the preparation for the first time, in order to quickly neutralize acids, you can try to increase the dose to 2-3 teaspoons a day. (In the case of intestinal disorders, take a 1-2 day break and then reduce the dose)". To reduce body weight, "Alkaline Powder should be taken 30 minutes before a meal (see also Alkaline Powder and Overweight below)". I use Langsteiner 300 g alkaline powder and I have a question, what dose can be used safely so as not to harm myself? Of course, I read that you can get poisoned by it, but even in high doses it is rare. And I was thinking, if I use it 3 times a day, it won't hurt? And I wanted to de-acidify and detoxify after chemo treatment and I use it, you can say, also for weight loss purposes.
Hello, first of all, I advise against using powders to deacidify the body. If you have problems with an excessive amount of gastric acid (and possibly related heartburn), you should see a doctor to prescribe appropriate medications. However, if you do not have this type of difficulty, it is best to follow a diet rich in vegetables, fruit and natural dairy products. Unfortunately, you do not write what exactly you have suffered from - which type of cancer. However, assuming that the digestive tract is currently in good condition, I would encourage you to follow a diet in which the proportion of vegetables is high. It is they - apart from sheep and millet - that are fundamental. In addition, you may consider limiting highly acidic products, such as large amounts of meat (unless you have a high-protein diet), processed, refined grains, sweet drinks, etc. Also, remember to have plenty of water to help remove waste products. Good luck
