    I'll double check the brand I buy, they have a great website with loads of yummy recipies. I bought it from my local health food store but there are loads of online stores. There are even blogs of people comparing prices for the best place to buy as its not the cheapest, but worth it. Melrose is one brand that springs to mind.

    I have seen lots of people swear by the alkaline diet and get great results but its a big lifestyle change thats well worth it in so many ways. When I have gone on it, people quickly comment on my glowing skin, really blue eyes and quick weight loss. You eat around 70% alkaline foods, 30% acidic. Big nasties acid wise are sugar (esp artificial sweetners - bad bad bad), coffee/caffiene (I found it hard to kick my cup of tea, but used alternatives where I could, cut out sugar and used almond milk - sometimes I would splurge though!), alcohol, chocolate, ice-cream, cheese (dairy in general), wheat (white flours like bread, biccies, cake) etc. Stress has an acidifying affect on the body too. You can have treats, just not often. Mainly vegies, fruits and a bit of meat (beef is most acidic of all meats). Some people say this diet is crap, but sounds pretty darn healthy to me, and the results prople get on it are amazing. A friend of mine started it 10 years ago, lost 15kgs fairly quickly and is still a skinny minnie and radiating energy, health and vitality. So up to you how far you want to take it to get results. Even cutting out some of these things will help. I started by eliminating dairy first.

    The other thing to try is a spoonful of blackstrap molasses (must be blackstrap - can get it at most big supermarkets, often in health food section). Works well for my DH. And have you heard of Moogoo eczema balm? It's good for it too.
