Hi everyone,

I went to see a naturopath today who tested my PH (urine sample he
dipped a piece of special paper in) and said it was too alkaline (7-8)
instead of 5.  Following this he recommended a Flora treatment of the
following:

1 tablet ORALDOPHILUS chew for three mornings  with a glass of water on
an empty stomach
from the forth day on to chew 10 (!) of these every morning till I
finish the bottle (100 each).

After this he recommended a bottle (60 each) of Maxi 7B – 5 tablets and
after that something by “Solgar” called Multi Billion also 5 tablets in
the morning.

Also, he suggested I take 1 “Enzymax” tablet before each meal and 1
“Lacetine” (sp?) and 1 “Digest Support” after each meal.

He thinks (according to my PH, looking at my hands and complexion) that
I have a lot of bad bacteria in my digestive system (stomach) and that
my food isn’t being digested properly.  He says this is probably because
of the antibiotics I took earlier in life.

I have no idea what to think of all this and I am under the impression
that if I see 10 different doctors, I’ll get 10 (if not more) different
diagnoses and 10 (if not more) prescriptions and 10 different diets.

I am 30 years old, have become a raw foodist 3 months ago and feel on
top of the world.  The reason I went to see him is pure peer pressure
(worried friends & family) who want to make sure I am getting the vital
nutrients I need (protein, vitamin etc.) and that I am not harming
myself by only eating raw (no RAF).

Can anyone advise regarding the FLORA he is talking about and do you
think it is reasonable that he should be able to know this from a simple
urine test? Is what he says about the PH correct? Should it be 5?

Any advise is welcome!

Thanks, love and light,


Leah.
