Here is a partial list, to start with. For protein, he suggests Boca brand soyburgers, etc. They are VERY delicious! Also for snacks he suggests almonds. He says the ratio of fat-protein-carbs is not what is important; rather getting the akaline balance back in our bodies. If you do a search on google quite a few sites come up, too. This one has a more extensive list: click. According to some info, it's the acid brought on from all those things I listed above which contribute to a host of ailments including high blood pressure and arthritis.

Here's a little more of what my acu-guy has to say: The best way to create a meal is to choose 80% alkaline and 20% acidic. That's it! You can still eat acid foods but now you know how to neutralize them with alkaline foods.

If you are very ill, then just eat foods that are more alkaline until you are feeling well and then slowly introduce acid foods back into your daily diet if you choose.
