Since alkaline phosphatase works best in an alkaline body environment,
increasing alkalizing foods may help make the enzyme more efficient.
Green juices are a great and delicious way to alkalize. They are absorbed
well and do not feed the pathogenic bacteria, and just about every-
one can tolerate them (more about juicing and alkalizing foods in the
Toxins chapter).
