Your Body Is Speaking
You drink milk — a lot of milk. Or you have been taking calcium supplements, antacids, alkaline powders for years, in amounts far beyond any reasonable measure. At some point, something tips over. Your kidneys struggle, your blood pressure rises, fatigue and apathy settle over your day like a grey film. The doctor speaks of milk-alkali syndrome or Burnett syndrome. He explains that your body has fallen out of balance from the excess of calcium and alkaline substances — too much lime, too little excretion, a silent poisoning by what was supposed to nourish you.
