ALL PAIN was over. Try it. It may work for you or those you love as well.Also, just FYI-coffee is very acidic, and a low acid-akaline diet is supposed to be great to help all of us avoid or beat cancer.Best of luck--google "akaline diet cancer" -good links will probably come up.Bless everyone,ellen computerpals Wed, 09 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT Thanks for the advice.  I'll try it.  I usually drink a half a cup in the A.M.  and usually deal with stomach issues later on at night.  I'll give it a try.Jeff Jeffy Wed, 09 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
