Your problem is that you refuse to accept that there is an active system which measures the blood pH and takes action to ensure that it is held at a chosen value. it's true that food has a pH. You seem not to understand that urine has a pH too. If the body was heading for too much acid it would pee out the excess, if it's too alkaline it pees out the excess. And there's also the fact that we breathe out acid. We are a pipe, not a bucket. Incidentally, if the joint pain you suffer from is gout then the change in diet would explain why it went away. Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the joints. If you stop eating so much DNA then you produce less uric acid. Vegetarian diets are relatively low in DNA.

"Was" <> "is".

On the subject of rights Mrs May wants to revoke the European Human rights convention. On the other hand, ISIS and others like them want to kill, torture, enslave and imprison people without any valid reason. They want to strip you of privacy, and of the right to choose your own religion or lack of it. They want to choose to whom you talk and who you associate with. They decide who you marry. They would disband effective courts and not merely permit, but enforce discrimination. SNAP!

Have you seen the size of the magnet it takes to levitate a few ounces of frog? Also, have you ever tried to steer a hovercraft? I have- it was "enlightening". With a car or a bike, you point the wheels in the direction you want to go and, within reason, that's the way you go. With a hovercraft the steering wheel isn't so much an instruction as an "opening of negotiations". It's like trying to steer a cat by shouting at it in Klingon.

Plasma in air generates lots of toxic NOx and ozone. The pollution would be unacceptable.

Yes I saw it. Also, I understood it. There's a thermostat in my house- it lets me control the temperature. I can turn the temperature up or down. But, at least in principle, the temperature stays the same whether it's hot or cold outside. Just because I can change the set point doesn't mean that the weather affects the inside temperature. There's a pH regulator in the body (actually there are several) you can turn them up or down- that article shows one way of doing that. But that's not the same as saying that eating different food changes the pH. Part of the problem is that the blood doesn't have a single pH. It loses CO2 as it goes through the lungs- and so the pH rises slightly. Similarly, as it goes though other tissues, it loses O2 and gains CO2 which causes the pH to fall slightly. Changes in pH as it passes the gut are smaller than those, and they get "undone" by the lungs + the kidneys, so they can't really be said to be a change. And even then, the change is very short lived before the buffer and feedback systems pull the blood pH back to what it should be. So food doesn't change blood pH. It really is time you stopped going on about this.

Science without religion is like a fish without a bicycle. Religion without science is ... religion.

It's interesting that the PM said they would stop campaigning for the day. On the other hand: today "Theresa May says UK will not tolerate extremists" Last week "Theresa May just visited a homophobic Christian fundamentalist church" Hypocrisy and bandwagoning

Do you not see the irony there? You have cited a paper that explains that the body (specifically the gut) is able to control blood pH, but you are trying to say that it shows that blood pH is not controlled. In the mean time, my blood pH is pretty much identical to what it has been all along. Practically never a sensible thing to say.

Ars longa, vita brevis but this thread is getting ridiculous. It's bad joke- or bad art.

It isn't a problem with our understanding. The problem is that your assertion is measurably, demonstrably false. Either show some measurements to prove your point (good luck with that) or accept that you are wrong.

Look, try to keep up here. Food does not change the pH of the blood in any meaningful way. Part of the reason is that the pH of blood is heavily buffered. However why don't you just think about it for a minute or two. What's the first thing that happens to food in the body? It gets slurried up with fairly strong acid. it's clearly not going to make anything alkaline after that, is it? So the idea is absurd. You can stop posting about it now.

Food still doesn't change blood pH. If you make a suggestion like "very individual has its own range within the range of 7.35 and 7.45 and why can't it be between 7.35 and 7.36 for some specific individual and for another between 7.42 and 7.44. " without any evidence, I can dismiss it without evidence. " And my own experience is that I was diagnosed with arthrosis and that was gone after several weeks, and I am not the only one who experienced this." Come back with real data; or don't come back.

No food changes blood pH. Can you please try to understand that?

Were your parents close- like, maybe, brother + sister? Is there a grown up who usually helps you with this sort of thing? How can you be that dumb, and yet remember to breathe?

The people who build nuclear plants know about it. Yes it is necessary.

The consensus seems to be Egely: not Scientist

I think it's fairly likely that, if there were real evidence for this we would have seen it in the newspapers or on the TV news, rather than in some on-line article. Also the evidence for humanity starting in Africa is pretty good- it's where our nearest genetic relatives are. Frankly; I think it's dross: probably racist dross, but I didn't bother to check.

Why not? Why do you ask?

A vegan diet isn't "alkaline" (or "acid"). It might have helped your condition- or it might have been a coincidence. But the pH of your blood is 7.35 today, and it was 7.35 when your joints were causing you pain. For example, if the joint pain was caused by gout then diet will certainly affect it. But it doesn't change the pH of the blood. (part of the effect of diet on gout could be to change the pH of the urine)

It gets confusing if you quote me, then critique the OP's work,

If you fed air at anything like that pressure into most compressors they would burst. There are cheaper ways to make a bomb. The only way to do it is to buy a compressor built for the purpose. Good luck with (a) finding one and (b) paying for it.

When the plastic breaks the bits fly off and then fall under gravity. Since they are moving rather fast they fly off in pretty nearly straight lines- In accordance with Newton's Law.

I can't vouch for Google's automatic translation from German, but it says "Egely claims that the wheel rotates because of the so-called vitality or life energy , the lack of which points to coming diseases. Critics say that the rotation is caused by the heat difference between hand and device, by electrostatic fields or by air movements." I think the critics are much more likely to be right.

What you said was "Imagine you had a 1 way mirror. One way, light could move right through without a problem. On the other end, it would be reflected at 100% efficiency. (obviously an impossible component at current technology, but lets say it was real.)" It's easy to make a very good mirror getting 99.99% reflection is "off the peg" However the other thing you wanted " 1 way mirror." in the sense of a device where light only goes through in one direction, isn't so easy. So, the disclaimer "(obviously an impossible component at current technology, but lets say it was real.)" was tacked onto the wrong end. Incidentally, photons are difficult to store because stores are stationary, but photons only exist at very high speed.
