Barbara o’ Neill on food
Watch here : https://youtu.be/m44tnbxTAvY
4:58 We don’t need to worry about the pH of our blood cos there are two organs that are constantly keeping it within that range. Our lungs and kidneys. (She explains this.)
8:33 Story about a woman who was worried about going to Barbara’s retreat because she was about to go on dialysis; Her legs were swollen and she was afraid she’d get worse.
9:35 You can take or leave your doctor’s advice.
10:17 Did you know that celery is an excellent kidney herb? Did you know that parsley is an excellent kidney herb?
10:20 Barbara explains what could happen when a person doesn’t drink enough water.
11:31 Coffee dehydrates you even more.
13:47 The kidneys, not only filter the blood…in balancing the pH, sodium and water balancing, in balancing blood pressure…
14:15 Even though the blood cannot change, the pH of the cell can. The pH of the cell should be about 6.5.
15:44 CocaCola 2.6 - It’s a killer; It’s toxic.
16:23 In a cellular pH of 5.5, this is where disease thrives esp. yeast, fungus, and cancer.
16:58 Cancer loves acid. Cancer also loves no oxygen. The other thing cancer loves is sugar.
18:17 Bone Spurs - A bone spur is a calcium deposit.
19:00 Stimulants are all acidic.
19:43 Stress, worry, anxiety all create a very acid environment in the body.
20:30 An excess of calcium floating through the bloodstream gets deposited on the bones as a spur. It’ll dump it in the kidneys = kidney stones. Gallbladder = gallstones. A buildup in the eyes is called cataracts.
21:15 To get rid of a bone spur, use castor oil. All the unnatural formations is what castor oil will break up. Fibroids, tumors, and cysts are easy compared to the bone spurs and yet castor oil can break up a bone spur.
21:52 Foods Which Have an Acid Effect and Foods Which Have an Alkaline Effect
23:43 Lemons are acid where they should be…When it is broken down in the gut and the minerals are dispersed and absorbed into the blood and tissues, it has an alkaline effect. The lemon is high in the alkaline minerals which is sodium and potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron.
24:28 Dark green leafy vegetables are also alkaline-forming and we should be eating them every day (kale, parsley, collard greens).
25:29 The nightshade group of vegetables can have an alkaline effect for some people and sometimes an acid effect (tomato, bell pepper, eggplant, potatoes (not sweet potatoes).
27:33 It appears that if you have inflammation in the body, the nightshades will feed that inflammation.
30:23 Millet is alkaline. Quinoa. Amaranth. Spelt. Kamut.
Barbara talks about the hybridized wheat of today and how it changed the gluten or protein structure. Pasta, biscuit, cake, etc. all made out of the hybridized wheat. This explains the gluten-intolerance of today with the 2 main symptoms being brain fog and bloating. Age gets blamed for so many things.

37:15 Though fruit is alkaline, if a person has a presence of yeast in their body and they’re eating a lot of fruit, the yeast feeds on the sugars in the fruit. As the yeast feeds on the sugars in the fruit, it gives off acetic acid, lactic acid, uric acid, and alcohol. The person with a yeast presence and they’re eating a lot of fruit, they’re feeding the problem and creating an environment of 5.5 where yeast loves to live. 38:07 Alcohol breaks down in the body into a neurotoxin. Neurotoxins are brain-killers. Five places you can be exposed to that particular neurotoxin: alcohol-consumption, if someone has a yeast problem and having a lot of fruit, cigarette smoke, car fumes, and vinegar.
38:48 “We don’t use vinegar here; We use lemons. Lemon is far superior.”

Food - How it Affects You - Notes Part 2
38:55 Acid-Forming Foods. These acid-forming foods are high in acid-forming minerals — phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine. Meat, refined sugar, hybridized wheat, aged cheese (Blue-veined cheese. What is the blue-vein? Mold.) The only cheeses not in that category —cottage, ricotta. She’s not saying that they are okay because usually they come from cows who have been not been fed well. Caffeine. All your caffeine drinks have an acid effect.
41:02 Alcohol - though it’s not a food, it creates an acid environment in the body. Tobacco as well.
41:25 All the grains other than the ones that sit on the alkaline side. All your other legumes (which I didn’t list), All your other nuts other than the ones on the alkaline list, have an acid effect.
41:40 To maintain the 6.5 environment, we need to be consuming 20% acid-forming foods, 70-80% alkaline-forming foods. The 20% should come from the grains, legumes, and nuts (from the acid-forming side).
45:45 - Whether vegetables are cooked or raw, doesn’t change the mineral content. The only time that you will lose your mineral content from the vegetables is if you dump the water your vegetables are cooked in. She serves the vegetable water as a broth in the evening.
