Re: Why Ammonia?

Candida, bacteria, parasites, Lyme's--all put off ammonias and toxins--the problem is with the liver not being able to convert it to urea like it's supposed to, for it to be eliminated through the kidneys. Lots of things (named in the post above) cause the liver to not function right. When the ammonia isn't converted in the liver, it goes right past it in the blood. The interesting thing is that (according to this article) it accumulates in different parts of the body, including the brain, heart, liver, and gums.

Read this part--ammonia is alkaline:

It's not just Hulda Clark that is saying to take the L-Ornithine.

Ammonia is very alkaline. Many doctors have been taught that most sick people have acidic bodies. The reality is not that simple. People may be predominantly acidic and may also be extremely alkaline in the areas of ammonia accumulation. This is why many people worsen when they are given dietary recommendations such as fresh fruits and vegetables, which work to alkalinize the body. It appears that alkalinizing these people is only aggravating the already over-alkaline ammonia regions of their body, the brain, heart, and liver. The ammonia conditions must be cleared before addressing the more acidic regions of their body.


It takes the amino acid L-Ornithine to help convert the ammonia into urea.

Also, big reason to consider the liver in all of this, and be doing liver flushes, and/or coffee enemas.

From Newport's post--Candida too:

There is a direct link between high blood ammonia levels and Hepatic encephalopathy, Hulda commented on high blood ammonia levels in her book and also while doing a liver flush, this Ascaris section contains a snippet of that. Another reason for high levels is cirrhosis of the liver which can easily come about from years of Candida (which always accompany parasites
