I would like to avoid DIAMOX to Mt.Whitney in future. I know I can take my time acclimatizing as an alternative. But I am seeking natural ways to achieve what DIAMOX does. Reading about DIAMOX, it says it works by lowering the pH of blood. Does it mean you take any acid forming food (supposedly lentils, soy etc) and get a similar effect?
Don't know of any thing else that does what Diamox does.. There were some preliminary reports of Ginko having some positive effects, but more definitive testing proved to be useless.
The natural way is to acclimatize. Everything else is either an attempt to accelerate the body's process (diamox), or to cover up what is going on (steroids, NSAIDS).
There is just no doubt, the absolute best thing, is to acclimatize.
