My Top 5 conditions that would benefit from an alkaline diet:
1- Cancer
2- Inflammatory conditions (ending with "itis" like arthritis = inflammation)
3- Auto-immune conditions.
4- Allergies
5- Gastro-intestinal conditions (Good gut flora likes an alkaline hang-out)
Here is a list of foods that are all around healthy, non-allergenic, and a check box marked √ on the foods that are actually alkalizing. Most dis-eases thrive only in Acidic environments... so alkaline-forming foods (which are often acid in nature like citrus fruits) are a good choice regardless of your health condition.
