Haven't read/don't care to read the book, im just a vegetarian for ethical/health implications, been this way for a good five or six years I think? It's just an easy lifestyle for me to maintain and helps me bring my lunch everyday to work since there are no good/cheap vegetarian options near me.

I'm not even offended by the pedophilia connotation... but how dare you apply I'm a fucking Miami Heat fan. Or a Falcons fan! Or is he a Broncos/Chiefs fan now? Fuck that guy.

Not sure if this is considered "weight loss", but this thread seems to branch into all kinds of nutrition topics
Anyone tried crazy detox stuff? I started abaking soda experimentlast week and its been...interesting. Pissed out my ass 6 hours after taking the first dose [2 tsp of baking soda + agave syrup in 8oz water] and had a pretty massive headache. The idea behind it is to up the pH in the gut and flush out any bacteria/fungi that shouldn't be there. The sugar syrup dissolves and is supposed to act as a vessel for the baking soda to enter the bad cells and blow em up. After a week of 2 tsp sans-aluminum baking soda 4x a day on an emptyish stomach before food, I feel great. Piss-ass stopped after the 2nd day as did the headaches.

I'm really skeptical about any sort of cleansing/detox stuff but I admit to being completely ignorant about it.

How does the baking soda know to not target good bacteria/fungi? Or just plain not attacking your own body? How is the baking soda not neutralized by your own stomach acid? How do you digest food after fucking up your stomach's pH?
Ever heard of people taking too much antibiotics and wiping out their colonic flora? They have to get a poop transplant to restart the microbial factory down there.
You should take this to the next level and try some lye. 10000x more powerful than baking soda. Great for making pretzels too!
Oh God, I clicked on the link. First fucking sentence:

All detox/cleansing diets are bullshit. Your liver and kidney's do a fine job detoxing you and if they aren't you are in some serious trouble requiring real medical intervention like dialysis.
Also, why on earth would youwantto neutralize your stomach acid? Not only will it not flush anything, but it can cause major problems with digestive function. Your stomach is extremely acidic toprotectyou from foreign pathogens, and the good bacteria has long since evolved to deal with it.
If you are still doing it you should stop right now, seriously.

Someone explain to me how the intended chemistry is supposed to work. You take baking soda and essentially sugar water, dissolve them together and heat it up. So, before ingestion you've got sucrose + water + carbonic acid + hydroxide. The idea is supposed to be that the sugar gets all buddy buddy with the hydroxide and delivers it to the bad guys? Let's say sugar is a weak acid(it's not), so it and the hydroxide form a weak ionic bond. That won't stop your stomach acid from neutralizing most of the hydroxide before the sugar gets to your blood stream.
Let's say the sugar and the hydroxide covalently bond so your stomach acid has a tougher time getting at it. It's not even sugar + hydroxide anymore, right? It's...something else? Potentially toxic and harmful. Maybe you can cure cancer with this, it's the digestive equivalent of chemo.

Forgot to mention why I was doing this in the first place - I was on antibiotics for acne for like ... 2.5 years on and off for 5 years. That fucked up my guts considerably and never got rid of the acne. Been doing a whirlwind of diet changes and antifungals and got healthy and acne free in the last year. The damage done by the antibiotics still remains and I am working to restore the pH to help swing the tides of the stomach acid battle back in favor of the good bacteria (bad bacteria use up the sugar/syrup preferentially and will die to pH imbalance, and the good ones should be fine in a wide range of pH anyways).
I wonder how hard it would be to put out a craigslist ad and get a straight up navajo to shit down my throat?

No, just no.
If you are having gastrointestinal issues related to antibiotic use then you want to a.) go see a doctor and b.) takeprobiotics. Your stomach pH has fuck all to do with your gut flora issue.
Go see a doctor, get tested, figure outwhichprobiotics you need, and then fix your issue by taking them.
