In the tight spot you and Zephyr have been in for the last couple of
months, there is, as you well know, always the risk of getting
paralyzed from advice/information overload, so even more I am glad to
have been of service.

If only three meals a week were meat and the rest mostly alkaline
meals, it would seem to me that would create an imbalance.
Furthermore, anybody coming off the Standard American Diet will,
despite the fact that it for the most part is a too acidic diet,
probably have the same problems with a too alkaline, inner environment
due to food preservatives, chlorine, antibiotics etc., so when somebody
like Zephyr turns to a more alkaline diet (instincto) it would seem
that it only would make the problem worse. The fact that he has had a
chronic fungal infection on his one foot for so long seems to support
this theory, as skin problems usually are a pretty good mirror of what
is going on inside the body.

As for proteins with six lbs of RAF a week I agree he was not deficient
in them.

Best, Peter
