Sciatica and the alkaline diet

[boobah]

My partner is having terrible sciatica pain. We got some books and one says to go on an alkaline diet, but doesn't explain what that means. What are some alkaline foods?

Figs and lima beans are two highly alkaline foods that come to mind. I have a list somewhere, but I don't have it handy at the moment.
