Can you tell me when they say a fish likes slightly acidic water, what do they mean and how do you get it. I was reading up on tetras, and that is what they like. Thanks

acidic water are preferred by fishes like tetras. when the water PH level is lower it also consider as a soft water. on the other hand hard water PH will be high from anywhere 7-8. if you are trying to make your water soft or acidic then you can try the peat moss method. but remember it wont work if your water is extremely hard. tetras could adopt the hard water and will do fine but this decrease their life time. its true they prefer soft water with low PH but its something not required unless you want to breed them etc. if you have live plants and use co2, this will lower the PH level but i don’t think it would help to make the water softer. co2 could lower the Ph from anywhere from 7.4 to 6.8 but it also depend on how much co2 you use. remember that lowering the PH way to low could cause some serious issue to the fish. its better to keep it stable. if you are planning on keeping the tetras then i promise you that they really don’t have to have a soft water, because i have cardinal, rummy nose and neon tetras and they all are doing fine in hard water with PH level of 7.4

i hope i answer your question and please take a look at this link:

does anyone know anyhing about baking soda and human ph levels.
also, about the water alkaline machines?

If a person eats baking soda to ease "heartburn," that has no effect on blood pH. This is because a person breathes in and out constantly and so takes in O2 and exhales CO2. This maintains the equilibrium of H2CO3, HCO3-, and CO3=.

I’ve been taking food supplements, herbal remedies and some traditional products for some time. At present my body seems to be weakening rather rapidly i.e.I’m afraid to do much gardening, lifting etc. because of the effects on my joints. I have been quite active and move rather quickly as a rule and I am over 60. However I know that something unusual is happening as this is not so gradual as one would expect as we age. My question is – could it have something to do with soya milk with calcium added (i have 2 litres over 3 days), antacid powders to alkalise water + digestive enzymes (made up by biochemist). I’m aware that Calcium needs an acidic environment for absorption and try to take it or eat inbetween drinking alkaline water.
I am quite worried at present!

eeeeek, soya milk has a devastating affect on my system…. i’m severely intolerant to it ……. even if i wasn’t i wouldn’t touch it with a barge pole.

so soya milk could definitely be causing your apparent rapid degeneration mate…. ditch it and eat more leafy and green and colorfull salad vegies instead ……. all spectacularly rich in both calcium and magnesium and also vitamin C….. in perfect harmony ……. as nature intended and all essential for effective calcium assimilation………;0)

check out these two links mate ~

and as far as antacids go ….. plain and simple they’ll destroy ALL the stomach acids …… including hydrochloric acid which is essential in digestion …… you need those to digest your food ……. ditch the antacid powders and hunt around for an affordable water filter.

eat more leafy and green vegies to boost your calcium intake… ie ~ kale, chard, celery, buk choy, broccolli (if you can tolerate cruciferous vegies) …. all specatcularly rich in calcium magnesium and vitamin C…. in perfect harmony as nature intended and easy for your system to assimilate.

peace baby

Can acidic water heal stretch marks and make them go away?
like from a alkaline water system that separates the acid water from the soft water..

I don’t think stretch marks will ever go away but good luck.

Take heed dear mate. The mast is blowing fast. Hold it with all your might. This is becoming a vicious fight.

Rain pouring down upon the crew as fists crush the faces. An empty cannon begs for gun powder traces.

To your stations! Give your oath and cutthroat faces.

A heave and ho rowing against the sea. The fighting beckons me. Pirates life we will be. Glaring sun piercing thee.

A shot breaking bones and shattering splinters intrigues the dark and murderous sailors.

Whoa whoa walk the plank scoundrel.

See them flossing gums. A biting toothsome meal.

Sharks are teeth machines like cheese to grater, your flesh in shreds. Blood spills into the water. Oh my, that’s salty!

Digested in the bowels. Your acidic prison. The stench oh so foul. Their crew will miss him.

Raging on and on. On and on. This is what feeds the hungry. Be it human bones to sharks. Or the rum lining our stomachs.

Bombarded with a cocktail of cannon rounds. And the captain in his cabin blown to the locker.

Do you believe in what’s left? Plundered by the enemy. It’s to Davey they’ve sealed our fates. To the sea, to sea.

With a ball and chain we’re encumbered to sink to the deepest valleys below the ocean. With you, I’ll perish my captain. I will choke on the alkaline, the pungent taste of his deep blue fortress, with you my captain.

Pressure is clenching and the sharks are licking their lips. Bring it on villain beast. Unsheathed my sword underneath. You better earn your feast.

wtf? lolz

When Hippocrates said “the physician treats but nature heals,”
he was describing the human body’s natural tendency toward
minimizing illness and creating optimal health. As we know,
however, the body needs a little help at times. Alternative
health practices can support the physical body in its natural
propensity toward healing by applying very effective remedies.

In this article we present powerful natural treatments for three
health conditions that frequently affect children: asthma, head
lice, and pink eye. Orthodox medical doctors and the drug
conglomerates won’t be overly thrilled that you know these
natural treatments; they have no way of patenting or monetizing
these cures.

The Asthma Remedy

Asthma is a serious (if not frightening) disorder in which the
airway becomes inflamed, resulting in wheezing, loss of breath,
and tightness in the chest. About 15 million people in the U.S.
suffer with asthma and there are more than half a million
hospitalizations resulting from this disorder.

The prevalence of asthma has been increasing for every age group
affected. Children have the highest increase; over the last ten
years the rate of asthma in children has increased by over 90%.
Parents with asthmatic children will know that the quickest
remedy for an asthma attack comes from medication, but there are
times when a child’s inhaler is not available.

There are two natural ways to treat an asthma attack which
relate to the soothing effect that warm liquid has on bronchial
tubes. First, try some hot soup which can soothe the bonchials.
However, the second remedy can be more effective since it
includes a warm liquid with an additional ingredient: caffeine.
Coffee or tea, with caffeine, can open airways similar to the
way inhalers do, so try this during an asthma episode if no
medication is available.

The Pink Eye Cure

Before 1938, patentable antibacterial drugs had not been
developed, so colloidal silver was the primary “medicine” for
fighting infections in the U.S. It is quietly used today as a
cleaning agent in water tanks, by airlines for in-flight water
purification, and by NASA to sterilize water on the Space
Shuttle. Why? Colloidal silver has been found to destroy about
650 viral, bacterial, and fungal “bugs.”

One independent laboratory conducted research to determine the
effectiveness of a colloidal silver manufactured by a company
called Earthborn Products. This silver was applied to both
normal and resistant strains of staphylococcus aureus bacteria
and incubated at 37 degrees centigrade. The staph cultures were
killed in just four minutes! Also, research at the Upstate
Medical Center at Syracuse University (N.Y.) found that “silver
works on a wide range of bacteria without any known side
effects…”

Pink eye (pinkeye) or conjunctivitis is a highly contagious
ailment in which the conjunctiva or membrane that covers the eye
is infected by a virus or bacterial infection. Although
harmless, the challenge is to keep infected family members from
contaminating those around them. This challenge, however, has
been met with colloidal silver.

Many people are successfully treating their pink eye by applying
one or two drops of colloidal silver in their eyes, twice a day.
In fact, Dr. Evan M. Kansas reported in Science Digest (1978)
that he experienced “instant success” using colloidal silver
with immune compromised patients. One example he gave was a
patient’s pinkeye that was totally resolved in less than six
hours after topical treatment!

The Head Lice Cure

Mom and dad, if you’re tired of “nit picking,” then pay
attention. About ten million people in America are afflicted
with head lice and their eggs, or “nits.” The head louse lives
in human hair fairly close to the scalp where it feeds on human
blood. Female lice lay about 10 eggs per day and the babies, or
nits, hang-on to strands of hair with amazing tenacity.

Getting rid of head lice is a three-step process. You must kill
all the live lice, check for and remove all the nits by combing
and manual nit picking, and you must do a thorough job of
cleaning the infested person’s belongings and home environment.

Doctor Lawrence Schachner of the University of Miami School of
Medicine has found what he believes is the best, fastest natural
remedy for head lice yet: petroleum jelly. This cure works not
by poisoning the lice (like the prescription drugs available),
but by smothering them. Dr. Schachner recommends slathering
petroleum jelly on your child’s scalp and hair in the evening
before bed. Then put a shower cap on the child and let him sleep
the night with the cap on. By morning, the lice and knits are
smothered. The down side? Children must do repeated shampoos to
remove the petroleum jelly, so their hair may look oily for a
while.

Natural treatment methods are cheaper and always a better choice for acne due to less exposure to drugs and chemical-laden acne products. Living with acne can be very difficult, and even more difficult to find just the right acne treatment for you. Keeping your skin clear doesn’t have to be a trying experience with so many cheaper natural treatments available today.

The most common types of pimples are whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules and cysts. While almost all young people experience acne at least once, it’s been reported that 47% of those in their 20s and 30% of those in their 30s had acne. Acne rosacea is a red rash predominantly on the face. People of all races and ages have acne.

Doctors think certain factors might cause or contribute to acne including hormone increases in teenage years, hormone changes in pregnancy, starting or stopping birth control pills, heredity, medicines and greasy make-up. The liver gets rid of toxins from bad food, drugs and chemicals and sends them through the skin resulting in eruptions, acne, pimples and other skin disorders. I think the cause of acne is related to our acidic, inflammatory ’standard American diet’ (SAD) and that would also influence all of our hormones including stress hormones.

Besides acne, if you also have eczema or dry skin, coconut oil will treat those skin conditions too. Remember, that even the most gentle and natural products you might use to clean your face can leave your skin a bit dry; use coconut oil as an excellent way to re-hydrate the skin after using any acne commercial or natural cleanser. There are many natural acne home remedies; you may have to try several to find one that works best for your skin type.

A skin specialist in New York is using the new red light-blue light combination therapy to treat severe cases of acne successfully; ask your skin doctor or dermatologist if he’s familiar with it. Shave carefully and try both electric and safety razors to see which works best for you. Some natural home remedies include dabbing on non-gel toothpaste or lemon juice to dry out zits.

A new, non-invasive treatment using red light and blue light in combination has been extremely successful on severe acne. Try applying a thin layer of coconut oil and massaging it deep into the skin to heal and soothe the affected area. If you wear make-up choose it carefully; it should be oil free.

If you’re going to buy acne products, it’s much more worth your while to buy acne-treating products that work against current pimples and prevent the occurrence of new ones. Acne and its treatment is one of the most misunderstood topics there is when it comes to acne skin care. This is a little messy but you can try making a paste by mixing three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon together and applying the paste on your pimples at bedtime for two weeks, and wash it off each morning; honey has anti-bacterial action – a cheap, natural home remedy.

Use only products that have natural ingredients or try to use fewer products to allow your skin to heal naturally. For the best acne treatment that has worked for many apply virgin coconut oil to the area daily; try it on a small test area for a day or two first.

Drink lots and lots of pure, filtered water every day. Besides external acne treatment it’s even more important to work from the inside out too. To cure yourself of acne, you need to correct the problems going on inside of your body that are causing the acne.

When you change your diet, your lesions should start getting better within a week or two, with significant improvement the first month. Essential fatty acids are particularly important to people with inflammatory conditions such as eczema and acne.

The next time you want to have a snack, instead of junk food, help your skin – have an apple, orange, peach, pear, banana, plum, berries or any other fruit. Eat at least two organic apples a day while working to clear up your skin; apples are good for skin health – organic so you can eat pesticide-free skin (most of the apple pectin is in the skin), which helps with constipation. Eating fruits that are red or orange in color will help improve you skin health and help to prevent acne.a

Eating foods with essential fatty acids are particularly important to people with dry skin or acne. Eat foods that contain essential fatty acids.

In any case, try not to panic about your acne and take it day by day. There is hope – keep researching and testing. Be assured, scientists are constantly looking at new non-invasive ways to treat acne.
