This site discusses how both body pH and emotional consciousness or stress affect the body’s physical health (microbial terrain), cause cancer etc. It also discusses the effect of mineral excess or deficiency on behaviour, an interesting connection to the ancient concept of external alchemy. The connection is also made between emotional health and overall body functionality, supporting the interdimensional model of inner alchemy.

Interesting to note how the body functions best with a neutral pH (slightly alkaline – 7.3), and will start going haywire if things are out of balance. This connects well with the daoist idea of balance and harmony…and that we eat BOTH acid AND alkaline foods to maintain a neutral state.
Of course, all of this is external alchemy, but we live in a physical world. I would definitely support the idea that inner alchemy promotes a neutral physical body as well, or at least the ability to bounce back to the center from extremes.
Whoa, very cool. Thanks for the info, I found a list of acid and alkaline foods as well as food combining charts:

BASIC CAYCE DIET
The following summary describes the Basic Cayce Diet recommended for healing and health maintenance for most people. These diet concepts provide a framework for meal planning.
ACID-ALKALINE BALANCE
Edgar Cayce frequently emphasized the importance of maintaining a proper acid-alkaline balance by eating mostly alkaline forming foods. A comprehensive list of foods is included in this section. The following summary will give you a quick overview of acid and alkaline-forming foods.
Alkaline-Forming Foods (80% of the daily diet should contain these foods):
* All vegetables except dried beans, lentils, asparagus tips, and garbanzos.
* All fresh fruits except cranberries, plums, olives, prunes, and blueberries (preserves and canned fruits are usually acid-forming).
* Almonds, chestnuts, Brazil nuts, and hazelnuts.Acid-Forming Foods (20 % of the daily diet should contain these foods):
* All meats except beef juice and bone meal.
* All grains, cereals, and bakery products except for soybeans.
* All dairy except buttermilk, yogurt, raw milk and whey.
* Peanuts, pecans, and walnuts.FOOD COMBINATIONS TO AVOID
Certain food combinations are difficult to digest and may cause problems in the digestive system. Here is a brief list of food combinations to avoid:
* Two or more starchy foods at the same meal.
* Sugary foods and starchy foods.
* Milk and citrus fruit or juice.
* Cereals and citrus fruit or juice.
* Large quantities of starchy foods with meat or cheese.
* Coffee with milk or cream.
* Raw apples with other foods.A TYPICAL DAY’S MENU
Using the laminated Basic Diet sheet as a guide, develop a variety of daily menus which suit your taste and conform to the dietary principles in this section. Here is a simple outline for a typical day’s menu:
Breakfast
Either citrus fruit, or cooked or dry cereal.Lunch
Raw vegetable salad with dressing or fruit salad.Dinner
Steamed vegetables served with fish, poultry or lamb.FOOD PREPARATION
Proper food preparation is important to preserve nutrients and avoid toxicity. Here are some suggestions:
* Steam vegetables in their own juices (i.e., patapar paper).
* Never fry foods.
* Use fresh, locally grown vegetables and fruits whenever possible.
* Avoid aluminum cookware.ATTITUDES AND EMOTIONS
Edgar Cayce stated that even the most nutritious foods can turn to poison in the system if eaten while a person is in a negative frame of mind. Never eat when angry, worried or extremely tired.
