Can base cures be harmful in the long run?
Cures with so-called base mixtures serve to cleanse the connecting tissue, and to neutralise and eliminate acid waste. People with a sensitive stomach should take lower doses of base mixtures (i.e. diluted with more water) than recommended. The tolerance of base mixtures is also improved if they are taken immediately before meals. Persons with raised uric acid levels should also apply base cures at a lower dosage, but over longer periods of time. A too massive supply of base nutrients provokes a correspondingly massive elimination of uric acid via the kidneys (kidney stones). An overdose of base nutrients should generally be avoided. It causes electrolyte losses (with liquid stool or diarrhoea) just like an overdose of electrolyte drinks. Generally, base cures should not be continued for more than three months. Concurrently and afterwards, you should try to eat a more acid/base-aware diet.
