Proper Health Starts With The Correct Acid-Alkaline
Balance In Your Body
The acid-alkaline balance of the body has an enormous impact on a person’s
health. The pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids
affects every cell in our bodies. Chronic acidity will interrupt all cellular
activities and functions - it interferes with life itself. When the pH
of the body gets out of balance (too acidic), we may experience low energy,
fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even more
serious disorders. When the body is excessively acidic, vital organs and
individual cells are subject to damage or destruction. This condition,
known as acidosis, can be a cause, an effect, or even a symptom of almost
any health condition. By balancing the body's acidity levels, this simple
plan can help toward curing various medical conditions, including arthritis,
hepatitis, insomnia, alcoholism, and kidney disease. This page addresses
the acid-alkaline balance and includes steps the visitor can take to maintain
or regain this essential balance. more
Virtually all degenerative diseases including cancer, heart
disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, kidney and gall stones, and tooth decay
are associated with excess acidity in the body.
Dr. Baroody,
Ph.D - "The root cause of disease is too much tissue acid waste in
the body"
Dr. Robert Young
Ph.D.- "What we do, what we eat or drink, even your thoughts
can make the body over acidic"
Dr. Young maintains that the primary culprit behind excessive weight
gain, as well as many other health problems, is a chronic state of acidity
in the body (a pH value below 7.1). Shifting the body’s chemistry to a
more alkaline pH, they maintain, will quickly and easily result in the
loss of excess weight and the buildup of more lean muscle tissue. Watch
the video: Dr. Young being interviewed on CNN news
It has been determined that an alkaline body is more conducive to health
and well-being than an acidic one. An undesirable pH can lead to a variety
of negative health effects. A body that tends toward acidity heightens
the risk for infections from bacteria, yeast, parasites, and viruses. All
of these seek out and thrive in an acid environment. Not only are you more
susceptible to infections such as colds and the flu but also degenerative
diseases like cancer, arthritis, heart disease and osteoporosis are promoted
if your pH is consistently acid. Furthermore, populations of bacteria,
fungi, etc. may be thriving throughout your body without causing acute
disease, yet producing copious acid waste products. These stealth infections
may underlie a variety of degenerative conditions.
Bacteria are found in arthritic joints, arterial plaque, and many other
places. If disease is to be prevented or successfully managed, an acid
pH must be overcome.
Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., Ph.D - "The countless names
of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come
from the same root cause...too much tissue acid waste in the body!" Dr.
Baroody's Alkalize
or Die book carries an important message that can benefit everyone
- a message that promises to revolutionize health care: Alkalize yourself
and live! This 228 page paperback shares the author's comprehensive research
and clinical findings which indicate that illness and disease are directly
linked to overacidity in our bodies. By following this book's guidelines
for choosing foods that create alkalinity, you can achieve a high level
of vitality and strength, and learn to neutralize any type of stress.
The acid-alkaline balance is an important factor in the health and functioning
of the body. Diet is a factor that influences
acid-alkaline balance both through the acid or alkaline forming nature
of the foods that are eaten and through the nutrient content which affects
metabolism. Nutrient rich traditional diets provide the essential factors
necessary for excellent metabolism, good acid-alkaline regulation and optimal
health.
Body acidity is quickly becoming a focus
of research in the prevention of many illnesses that result from an increased
acidity within the body. Scientists have found that healthy people have
systems that are alkaline. Optimum alkalinity at the cellular level equates
to optimum health. A healthy person's pH level of their body fluids should
be between 7.1 and 7.5. An imbalanced pH can
negatively affect the physical health of almost all body systems and lead
to diseases including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, kidney
stones and many more. Because the modern diet is so high in acid-forming
foods, most people are exposed to heightened levels of acid on a daily
basis. The cells of the body in health are alkaline. In disease the cell
pH is below 7.0. The more acid the cells become, the sicker we are and
feel. We can remain in health by consuming a diet that is 70-80% alkaline
and 20-30% acid. Most raw-foods diets are predominantly alkaline
forming foods. Secrets
of an Alkaline Body
"Most of the degenerative diseases are caused by too much acidic wastes
somewhere in our body that slows down blood circulation. Depending upon
where our body accumulates the acid, disease symptoms are different. However,
the causes are the same: too much acid. Modern medicine is concerned with
the treatment of symptoms rather than the elimination
of the causes of diseases." Sang
Whang, author of Reverse Aging
Acidosis is the basic foundation of all disease. We need to understand
the simple process of alkalizing our body and the important role a properly
alkalized body plays in restoring and maintaining our overall health. Our
glands and organs function properly in exact proportion to the amount of
alkaline and acid levels in our system. Acidosis

Carl
J. Reich, M.D - "The saliva pH parallels the extra cellular fluid ...
pH paper test using saliva represents the most consistent and most definitive
physical sign of the ionic calcium deficiency syndrome ... The saliva pH
of the non-deficient and healthy person is in the 7.5 to 7.1 slightly alkaline
range. The range from 6.5 which is weakly acidic to 4.5 which is strongly
acidic represents states from mildly deficient to strongly deficient, respectively.
Most children are dark blue, a pH of 7.5. Over half of adults are green-yellow,
a pH of 6.5 or lower, reflecting the calcium deficiency of aging and lifestyle
defects. Cancer patients are usually a bright yellow, a pH of 4.5, especially
when terminal."
Dr. R. Dunne - "pH paper strips to measure acid/alkaline pH balance
belong in every family medicine kit, right beside the thermometer and bandages."
The marine phytoplankton in FrequenSea is
alkaline-forming in the body. Phytoplankton nutrients are PH 8-8.5
and highly alkaline. There is much study and practice in holistic
health regarding body ph balance -alkaline versus acidic. If a body
is in an extreme acidic state disease, infections, and damage may proliferate.
The acidic condition strains the body and compels it to take minerals -including
sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium from bones and vital organs.
Scientifically, PH means potential hydrogen and measures the H+ Hydrogen
ions in the body -basically measuring voltage. The determination
of alkaline forming or acidic forming is NOT what is taken in organic form,
but what is 'left over' in inorganic matter (ie. ash) after digestion.

Test Your Body's Acidity or Alkalinity with pH Strips
You can easily test your pH levels to determine if your body's pH needs
immediate attention. By using pH test strips, you can determine your pH
factor quickly and easily in the privacy of your own home. There is much
to discover so that pH test result can be meaningful. Rather than give
simplistic guidelines here it is recommended you look online or purchase
a book on this subject from our online store.
he pH scale ranges from 0 (the highest acidic) to 14 (the most alkaline).
A solution with a pH of 7 is neutral. At pH 7, water contains equal amounts
of H+ and OH- ions. Substances with a pH of less than 7 are acidic because
they contain a higher concentration of H+ ions. Substances with a pH higher
than 7 are alkaline because they contain a higher concentration of OH-.
The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 and is logarithmic, which means that each
step is ten times the previous. In other words, a pH of 5 is 10 times more
acid than 6, 100 times more acid than 7 and 1,000 times more acid than
8. In this light, you can see how a slight change in your pH value can
have a great impact on your internal environment and, ultimately, your
health. When healthy, the blood pH is 7.365, the pH of spinal fluid is
7.4, and the saliva pH is 7.4. This ideal blood pH measurement means it
is more alkaline than acid.
Urine pH Clinical research by Dr M T Morter (Arkansas, USA) has shown that if
the anabolic urinary and salivary pH (measured immediately upon awakening)
is below 6.8, we can be relatively certain that digestive support must
be provided. Controlled clinical studies by Dr Paul Yanick (Pasadena, USA)
have confirmed Dr Morter's findings and recorded that intracellular assimilation
of nutrients is significantly decreased when the anabolic pH is below 6.8.
The results of urine testing indicate how well your body is assimilating
minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. These are
called the "acid buffers" because they are used by the body to control
the acid level. If acid levels are too high, the body will not be able
to excrete acid. It must either store the acid in body tissues (autotoxication)
or buffer it - that is, borrow minerals from organs, bones, etc. in order
to neutralize acidity.
Saliva pH You may also want to test the pH of your saliva. The results of saliva
testing indicate the activity of digestive enzymes in your body, especially
the activity of the liver and stomach. This reveals the flow of enzymes
running through your body and shows their effect on all the body systems.
Some people will have acidic pH readings from both urine and saliva. This
is referred to as "double acid."

Alkalize
or Die: Superior Health Through Proper Alkaline-Acid Balance
This powerful title carries an important message that can benefit everyone
- a message destined to revolutionize health care of the future with one
simple principle - ALKALIZE YOURSELF! The world is facing the largest health crisis
in recorded history. Dr. Baroody's comprehensive research and clinical
findings indicate that illness and disease are directly linked to overacidity
in the system. The polluted air we breathe, the chemicalized food and water
we ingest are just part of the problem. Stress on all levels - physical,
emotional, mental, and even spirpitual cause the body to overproduce acid
wastes, upsetting our delicate alkaline/acid balance.
Panic attacks, anxiety disorders, depression, chronic fatigue, hypoglycemia,
candidiasis, Epstein-Barr syndrome, food allergies, food cravings/addictions,
weight maintenance problems, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), "undiagnosable/undifferentiated"
aches and pains, and hypochondria are typically not "psychological" or
"stress-related" in origin. Consequently, "talking things over" with so-called
qualified mental health experts will do you little if any good. These disorders
are caused instead by subtle but easily detectable biochemical or metabolic
imbalances which can be corrected nutritionally, but not in the way the
holistic or mainstream medical communities would have you believe. In my
book, BioBalance: Using Acid/Alkaline Nutrition to Solve the Food-Mood-Health
Puzzle, I'll show you why this is the case. Moreover, I'll also show you
how you can use nutrition to counter-effect the health problems plaguing
you; problems which have more than likely been plaguing you for years,
have cost you thousands of dollars, and have eluded the medical, psychological
and nutritional experts. Dr. Rudolf A. Wiley holds a doctorate
in biological physics, and has spent more than 25 years researching the
impact of nutrition upon metabolism. His work has to date assisted thousands
of individuals in achieving optimal wellness.
"Acidosis is excessive blood acidity caused by an overabundance of acid
in the blood or a loss of bicarbonate from the blood (metabolic acidosis),
or by a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood that results from poor lung
function or slow breathing (respiratory acidosis). If an increase in acid
overwhelms the body's pH buffering systems, the blood will become acidic.
As the blood pH drops, the parts of the brain that regulate breathing are
stimulated to produce faster and deeper breathing, which increases the
amount of carbon dioxide exhaled. The kidneys also try to compensate by
excreting more acid in the urine. However, both mechanisms can be overwhelmed
if the body continues to produce too much acid, leading to severe acidosis
and eventually coma. A person with mild metabolic acidosis may have no
symptoms but usually experiences nausea, vomiting, and fatigue. Breathing
becomes deeper and slightly faster (as the body tries to correct the acidosis
by expelling more carbon dioxide). As the acidosis worsens, the person
begins to feel extremely weak and drowsy and may feel confused and increasingly
nauseated. Eventually, blood pressure can fall, leading to shock, coma,
and death." Merck

"When you drink alkaline water, you are drinking water with excess oxygen,
not in the form of O2, but in the form of OH- which is very stable because
it is mated with positively ionized alkaline minerals. Two of these hydroxyl
ions can form a water molecule (H2O) and give out one oxygen atom. The
alkaline mineral is used to detoxify poisonous acid compounds and when
that happens the hydroxyl ion is freed to supply excess oxygen to the cells to
prevent the development of cancer." Reverse
Aging, Sang Whang, 1990, page 51
Alkaline neutralizes acid. Drinking alkaline
water helps our body dissolve acid wastes and make it easier for the
body to dispose of them safely. Since the accumulation of acid wastes is
aging, the reduction of acid wastes is reverse aging. Alkaline water is
not a medicine to cure any disease. However, if consumed regularly, alkaline
water gradually reduces the accumulated acid wastes. As a result of acid
reduction, there are many reports of natural health improvement in Japan.
One American cancer center showed significant improvements in their cancer
therapy by getting 1,000 patients to drink 7 glasses of alkaline water
a day. Their research concluded that the alkaline minerals in natural,
alkaline water with a pH 7.5 helped to neutralize acidosis and thus helped
to prevent cancer. Water, the origin of Life, contains 2 parts hydrogen
and one part oxygen. Alkaline water is water that contains a larger amount
of oxygen as compared to hydrogen. By drinking alkaline water, we increase
our intake of oxygen compared to drinking plain water. The advantage of
drinking alkaline water is that while being absorbed by the body, it helps
neutralize acidic wastes, making them more soluble in the blood vessels.
Thus, acidic wastes will be easily drained out of the body in the form
of urine or sweat.
Zoltan
P. Rona M.D. - "During nearly 19 years of clinical practice I have
had the opportunity to observe the health effects of drinking different
types of water. Most of you would agree that drinking unfiltered tap water
could be hazardous to your health because of things like parasites,
chlorine,
fluoride
and dioxins. Many health fanatics, however, are often surprised to hear
me say that drinking distilled water
or purified water on a regular, daily basis is potentially dangerous."
Tap water in 42 states is contaminated with more than 140 unregulated chemicals
that lack safety standards, according to the Environmental Working Group's
(EWG's) two-and-a-half year investigation of water suppliers' tests of
the treated tap water served to communities across the country. In an analysis
of more than 22 million tap water quality tests, most of which were required
under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, EWG found that water suppliers
across the U.S. detected 260 contaminants in water served to the public.
One hundred forty-one (141) of these detected chemicals — more than half
— are unregulated; public health officials have not set safety standards
for these chemicals, even though millions drink them every day. Each
year, bottled water sales grow about eight to 10 percent. In 2005, bottled
water sales surpassed milk, beer, juices — everything but carbonated soft
drinks. Home purification systems are becoming more common. They come in
all types: simple filters, compound carbon filters, reverse osmosis and
combined systems. Visit the
National
Tap Water Quality for detailed information
Tap water can contain impurities,
including inorganic poisons and pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, and
fungi. Magnetic resonance imaging reveals that most tap water is organized
into microclusters of about 12 water molecules each. In alkalinized water,
the microclusters are reduced in size to only six molecules per cluster.
This enhances the permeability, solubility, and absorption of the water,
thereby boosting its detoxification effects. Nutrients, including water-soluble
vitamins such as vitamins B and C, will be absorbed more fully. Drinking
more water can boost detoxification. It takes 32 glasses of pH 10 alkaline
water to neutralize one glass of pH 2.5 cola. Why
Purified, Distilled Water, and reverse osmosis water are Bad For You
Water is our best defense against disease of every kind. Sixty percent
or more of all chronic disease would be significantly reduced if people
would simply keep themselves properly hydrated. Alkaline
Ionized Water is by far the most superior drinking water available.
The properties of Alkaline Ionized Water are that it is an antioxidant,
alkalizing, hydrating and detoxifying. The Irony of Ionized Water The production
of Ionized Water essentially turns anabolic/catabolic processes on their
respective heads. The most powerful liquid antioxidant known as Alkaline
Ionized Water is produced using a cathode and not an anode as one would
suspect. In the case of Ionized Water we produce alkaline anabolic water
filled with negatively charged ions with the very thing we must avoid if
we wish to be healthy, that of a cathode, which is associated with catabolic
processes. When something is decaying, it means that it is catabolizing
or wasting away. The anode, something we normally associate as being good
for us (anabolic), produces acid catabolic water, which is harmful if consumed.
A quality water ionizer takes in regular tap water which has both acid
and alkaline minerals in it and has a typical pH value of 7. The system
then releases water with a pH value of 9 or higher with all the alkaline
minerals from the original tap water. At the same time it releases acidic
water with a pH value of 5 or lower with all the acid minerals in the original
tap water.
Since this alkaline water has twice as many alkaline minerals as the
original water but NO acid minerals, it is more than twice as potent as
the original water. Inside our body, it will neutralize only acidic elements
and discharge them safely out of the body. Drinking 8 glasses of regular
water can leach out acidic wastes as well as some valuable alkaline minerals
such as potassium. That's why doctors test your blood when you are going
through a serious diet program. With this alkaline water there is no worry
about losing potassium from your system. more
Prof. Kuwata Keijiroo,
Doctor of Medicine - "In my opinion, the wonder of antioxidant water
is the ability neutralizes toxins, but it is not a medicine. The difference
is that the medicine can only apply to each and individual case, whereas
the antioxidant water can be consumed generally and its neutralizing power
is something which is very much unexpected. Now, in brief, let me introduce
to you a heart disease case and how it was cured. The patient was a 35
years old male suffering from vascular heart disease. For 5 years, his
sickness deteriorated. He was in the Setagays Government Hospital for treatment.
During those 5 years, he had been in and out of the hospital 5 to 6 times.
He had undergone high tech examinations such as angiogram by injecting
VINYL via the vein into the heart. He consulted and sought treatment from
many good doctors where later he underwent a major surgical operation.
Upon his discharge from the hospital, he quit his job to convalesce. However,
each time when his illness relapsed, the attack seemed to be even more
severe. Last year, in August, his relatives were in despair and expected
he would not live much longer. It so happened at that time that the victim's
relative came across antioxidant alkaline
water processor. His illness responded well and he is now on the road
to recovery."
Dr Sherry Rogers M.D.. - "Alkaline
water rids the body of acid waste... After carefully evaluating
the results of my advice to hundreds of individuals, I'm convinced that
toxicity in the form of acidic waste is the primary cause of degenerative
disease."
Prof. Watanabe Ifao, Watanabe Hospital - "Antioxidant
water improves body constituents and ensures effective healing to many
illnesses. The uses of antioxidant water in gynecological patients have
proved to be very effective. The main reason for its effectiveness is that
this water can neutralize toxins. When given antioxidant water to pre-eclamptic
toxemia cases, the results are very significant. During my long years of
servicing the pre-eclamptic toxemia cases, I found that the women with
pre-eclamptic toxemia who consumed antioxidant water tend to deliver healthier
babies with stronger muscles. A survey report carried out on babies in
this group has intelligence above average."
Dr. Batmanghelidj M.D. - "I have used water
to cure people who were suffering from "incurable" diseases. I have
cured people who suffered for 10 years, 20 years, even 30 years from painful
conditions produced by dehydration." Clean, live, energized water,
plays an important role in our health recovery and maintaining optimum
health.

"Most

a thought. After all, our elected public officials keep assuring us that
chlorinated city tap water is completely safe for human consumption. Numerous
scientific studies report that chlorinated tap water is a skin irritant and
can be associated with rashes like eczema. "Chlorinated water contains
chemical compounds called trihalomethanes which are carcinogens resulting
from the combination of chlorine with compounds in water. These chemicals,
also known as organochlorides, do not degrade very well and are generally
stored in the fatty tissues of the body (breast, other fatty areas, mother's
milk, blood and semen). Organochlorides can cause mutations by altering
DNA, suppress immune system function and interfere with the natural controls
of cell growth. Chlorine has been documented to aggravate asthma. Several
studies also link chlorine and chlorinated by-products to a greater incidence
of bladder, breast and bowel cancer as well as malignant melanoma. One
study even links the use of chlorinated tap water to congenital cardiac
anomalies. Anything you can do to filter

Alkaline Diet and Anti-aging
Disease Thrives in an Acid Environment in the Body and
Will Not Flourish or Thrive in an Alkaline
Metabolic Environment.
Modern
agriculture and food-preservation methods have done serious damage to the
human diet. The detrimental effects on the human body caused by acidic
wastes from processed food and chemical additives are myriad. Byproducts
of the foods we eat, acidic wastes are the common denominator in all degenerative
diseases. When acidic wastes accumulate, they can cause organs to malfunction
and degenerate. Balancing the body's acid-alkaline pH factor is a dynamic
way to improve health.
William Howard Hay, M.D. - "Now we depart from health in just
the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by
introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount... It may seem strange
to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes
of expression, but it is verily so."
Researchers have shown, supplementing the diet with appropriate alkalizing
agents was highly beneficial in elevating the systemic pH by replenishing
the alkaline mineral and enzyme reserves. Since systemic deficiencies show
only in the last instance in the digestive tract, practitioners should
not wait until the signs and symptoms of poor digestion become evident.
From a preventative perspective, compensation should be made when symptoms
are minimal and the anabolic pH is below 7.4 after an Alkaline Load Test
(see "Correlative Urinalysis" by M T Morter). Diets which are high in protein,
fat and carbohydrates and low in greens and raw food, stress the digestive
mechanisms, inhibiting proper digestion and overloading the immune system
with incompletely digested macromolecules and toxins. These digestive disturbances
are aggravated by the typically high intake of food additives, pesticides
and stimulating foods that are common in the Western diet. Also in a effect
to solve the problem of worsening public water quality, more and more people
are turning to water in plastic containers. What is usually not realized
is that virtually all bottled water is highly acidic and missing the essential
alkalizing minerals.
In order to learn how to get younger, we must understand the process
of antiaging and an alkaline diet. Handling natural health improvement
devices developed in Japan a few years, I have witnessed as well as personally
experienced many mysterious phenomenon in the reverse aging effect.
Being a scientist, engineer, and inventor, I have tried to understand
and explain the phenomenon scientifically, applying the scientific principles
of those non-drug, natural health improvement devices. During the course
of the study, I came to a realization of what the human aging process is
about. The great news is that, with this new theory, the antiaging process
can be explained, and anybody canget younger if he or she so desires.
THE AGING PROCESS
We get old because we are not disposing of all the internally generated
wastes and toxins, and accumulate the leftovers within our body. For our
body to function and to maintain body temperature, we burn nutrients within
our cells. The main ingredients of all foods, expensive or inexpensive,
gourmet or junk, vegetable or meat, alkaline or acid, are either carbohydrates,
proteins or fats. And they are nothing but the combinations of four elements:
carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen.
After these nutrients are burnt (oxidized) in the cells, they all turn
into organic acids: carbonic acids, uric acids, lactic acids, fatty acids,
ammonia, etc. Fats are acidic even before oxidation. The Chinese word for
oxygen is written with two characters, "sahn-so". They literally mean "acid
root". These acidic wastes and toxins are disposed out of the body in liquid
form, as urine or perspiration, after first being dissolved into the blood.
Every element within our body was place there by the blood and can come
out of there by first being dissolved into the blood and then being carried
out. If anyone loses ten pounds by any dietary means, it can be said that
most of that ten pounds came out through the urine.
Unfortunately, due to our life styles and environments (i.e.,
too much ingestion, overwork, over indulgence, not enough rest, staying
up late, not enough exercise, inadequate water consumption, smoking, pollution,
low alkaline diet etc.) the body cannot get rid of all the acidic waste
products that it generates within. We accumulate these left over waste
products somewhere within our body. This is the process of getting old.
To make matters worse, mixed with these organic acids are inorganic acid
minerals such as chlorine, phosphor, and sulfur that come in with most
of our acidic foods: meats, grains and root crops. We don't eat enough
of alkaline diet (antiaging) foods such as fruits and vegetables that contain
inorganic alkaline minerals: calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc.
Although the amounts of inorganic minerals are small compared with the
organic acid wastes that the body produces, they contribute more towards
the acid side. However, one important thing to note is that even if one
does not eat any acidic food at all, as long as carbohydrates and proteins
are consumed, the body produces much more acidic wastes than the inorganic
alkaline minerals can counteract.
We are born with high alkaline blood pH of 7.44. As we get older, the
blood pH drops down to 7.35 or below. The blood pH referred to here is
the artery blood pH. The difference of 0.09 in pH value seems very small
but since pH is logarithmic, the amount of hydroxyl ion (OH-) in 7.44 pH
is 1.23 times that of 7.35 pH, because 10=1.2303. The hydroxyl ion is an
oxygen donor while the hydrogen ion (H+) is an oxygen taker. In other words,
young people carry 23% more of the oxygen donors in their blood than older
people. No wonder they are more energetic.
Uric acid is nearly insoluble in water, alcohol, and ether, but soluble
in solutions of alkaline salts. In other words, it becomes soluble in alkaline
water. Arthritis and gout are caused by uric acid deposited between the
joints, non-dissolved due to the low alkalinity of an older person's blood.
Drinking acid free alkaline water will gradually elevate one's blood pH
and the gout will disappear naturally. (More about this acid free alkaline
water later)
As we live with poor waste disposal systems for a long period of time,
some parts of our body build up more acids than others, and they can clog
up capillary vessels around those acidic areas. This causes some body organs
to function in a sluggish manner. We feel tired and run down sometimes
for no reason whatsoever, and adult diseases such as high blood pressure,
arthritis, diabetes, asthma, allergies, etc. start to set in We simply
accept these phenomena as "getting old"
Alkaline Diet In some extreme cases, the build up of acidic elements are so great
that it starts to destroy healthy cells around them. Healthy cells must
maintain a slightly alkaline pH level. Some cells change their formula
in order to survive in an acidic environment. If they are successful,
this is the beginning of cancer. Cancer cells are acidic while healthy
cells are alkaline. Even if the cancerous tumors are completely removed
surgically, as long as the acidic conditions in the area remain, the chances
are that new tumors will develop around the same area. (Healing
power of alkaline raw food diet)
Exactly where the left over waste products are accumulated may very
according to every individual. However, the parts of the body where wastes
accumulate first may determine what kind of adult disease that individual
may develop first. Within one family, the storage places may be similar.
This may explain the hereditary effects of certain adult diseases.
Most of the food we like
is mainly acidic. Acidic food does not necessarily mean that it tastes
acidic, but that the wastes it produces are acidic. Grains and meats are
mainly acidic; fruits and vegetables are alkaline. Citric fruits may taste
acidic but they are considered to be alkaline because they contain alkaline
minerals.

It is my belief that much harm has been done through the misconception
that acidity and alkalinity were something apart from minerals and other
elements. Many food faddists have undertaken to list foods on the basis
of their acidity and alkalinity without the apparent understanding of the
disturbances that are produced by, for example, condemning a food because
it contains phosphoric acid, not appreciating that phosphorus can only
be acid until it is neutralized by combining with a base. more
The Anti-Aging Process
Because the accumulation of waste products inside the body is the aging
process, helping the body to get rid of the OLD waste products is the antiaging
process. This reverse aging process takes two steps. The first step is
to develop a good disposal system and the second step is to pull out the
old wastes from their hiding places.
The Reverse
Aging book is the first common sense scientific explanation of the
aging process and "how to" reverse it. The nutrients that we deliver to
our cells burn with oxygen and become acidic wastes after giving energy
to our body. The body tries its best to get rid of these acidic wastes
through urine and perspiration. Unfortunately, our lifestyle, diet and
environment prevent our body to get rid of all the wastes that it generates.
Gradually, these leftover acidic wastes accumulate somewhere within our
body. Since acid coagulates blood, the blood circulation near the waste
areas becomes poor, causing all kinds of degenerative diseases to develop.
The author defines the aging process as the accumulation of non-disposed
acidic wastes within the body. According to this theory, the reduction
of accumulated wastes is re verse aging. This book explains how some of
the adult degenerative diseases are caused by too much acidic wastes, and
describes the various scientific devices and methods to reduce these wastes
without any harmful side effects. These devices and methods are being wid
ely used in Japan. Alkaline water makers (water ionizers) have been in
existence in Japan for more than 40 years.
No need to have mellitus, diabetes II, in middleage. it is a degenerative
disease which must have an acid, demineralized body in order to exist.
Put the minerals back in your body, I use Redmonds Real Salt, from Utah
usa, eat live foods which simply are lightly steamed or wokked veggies,
raw veggies and raw fruit. As soon as sugar is added to the mix it is acid..diabetes
cannot thrive in a properly balanced body: 80% alkaline, 20% acid..this
is what to strive for..weight loss is imminent eating properly & getting
rid of ALL JUNK FOOD INCLUDING SODA POP! I lost 69 lbs tho it was not my
goal..i was dying so living was my goal.
"Aging, as I define it, is
the accumulation of acidic wastes within our body. Our body must maintain
slightly alkaline pH level to survive. Our blood pH value is 7.4 at the
artery and the cellular fluid pH value is 7.2 to 7.3. In spite of the fact
that our cells produce acidic wastes constantly, the body fluids maintain
this alkaline pH. Our body is an amazing surviving machine." Sang Whang
THE IMPACT OF ACIDOSIS ON OUR ORGANS:
HEART
The heart is one of the most alkaline-dependent organs in the body.
It is partly enervated by the vagus nerve which functions best in an alkaline
environment. Correct heartbeat is altered by acid wastes. These wastes
rob the blood of proper oxygenation and degeneration of the heart follows.
An alkaline system creates an ideal heart function.
STOMACH
Digestive difficulties (belching, bloating, sensitivity at the waist,
intestinal gas, regurgitation, hiccups, lack or limitation of appetite,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, colic in children) may indicate
vagus nerve problems and possible hiatus hernia syndrome, which can produce
acid residue throughout the system. Hiatus hernia can quickly reduce necessary
hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Without proper hydrochloric acid breakdown
of foods, the foods become too acidic. (Healing
power of alkaline raw food diet)
LIVER
The liver has over three hundred functions, including processing acid
toxins from the blood and producing numerous alkaline enzymes for the system
and is your first line of defense against any poisons. All the nourishment
obtained through the gastrointestinal tract enters the blood by way of
the liver. The load on the liver is much heavier when acid waste products
are constantly floating in the blood. If the liver becomes too congested
with protein acid wastes, death is imminent.
PANCREAS
The pancreas is highly dependent on correct alkaline diet. All aspects
of pancreatic function reduce excess acidity and regulate blood sugar balance.
To have proper blood sugar balance, you must maintain a primarily alkaline-forming
diet.
SMALL INTESTINES
The Peyer's Patches, in the upper portion of the small intestines are
crucial to life. They are essential for proper assimilation of food and
producing lymphocytes for the lymphatic system's wide ranging nodal network.
They also produce large amounts of the enzyme "chyle", which is a major
alkalizing substance. The uninterrupted flow of chyle into the system is
crucial. Too much acid waste production from acid-forming foods is a great
burden on the Peyer's Patches, which lessens the production of chyle.
KIDNEYS
In an adult, about 1 liter of blood per minute passes through the kidneys.
By executing their primary duty, the kidneys keep the blood alkaline and
extract acid. Kidneys that are over-stressed with too much acidity create
kidney stones, which are composed of waste acid cells and mineral salts
that have become gummed together in a waste acid substance. Therefore,
by reducing acid-forming products from entering the body, the chances are
better that you can avoid this painful condition.
COLON
The colon must be kept clean of accumulated acid wastes. Poisons collect
on the colon walls and in cases of diarrhea or constipation will harden
and reabsorb into the bloodstream. Good bowel action (complete elimination)
must be done at least 2 times per day.
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
There are 600-700 lymph glands in the body. Lymph fluid carries nutrition
to the cells and removes acid waste products. Lymph fluid flows best in
an alkaline environment. When the body is overly acidic, it slows, creating
one of the most chronic, long-term, life-threatening situations. Gradually,
the lymph dries and begins to form very tiny to very large adhesions throughout
the tissues. These adhesions can interfere not only with lymph fluid but
with blood flow as well. Hindered lymph flow increases tissue acid storage.
Not drinking enough purified water will also slow the lymph. Waste products
from foods that are not properly digested are reabsorbed into general circulation
via the lymphatic ducts of the small intestine. In addition, bowel movements
that do not completely clear the body of its daily poisons are also reabsorbed.
HOW NEGATIVE EMOTIONS CREATE ACIDITY:
Have you ever been so upset with someone or something that you get an
upset stomach? All negative emotions create an acidic environment. Have
you ever heard anyone say you are letting your problems "eat away at you"
or "get the best of you"?
Fear is the underlining cause of most disease. It will undermine your
life and your health. Fear causes anger. Anger causes hate. Hate will consume
you with continual suffering. Love and understanding cleanse and heal the
body creating an alkaline environment within you.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
1. EXERCISE
Moderate exercise is alkalizing to the body. Excessive exercise (past
the point of exhaustion) can create an acidic problem due to lactic acid
buildup. People who are acidic usually feel worse from exercise because
their detoxification organs are not working properly due to excessive acid
in the tissues. Yet without exercise, acid and toxin buildup are likely.
The waste disposal is done in liquid form by urine and perspiration, it
is imperative that we drink plenty of water, When one is going through
any diet program, doctors tell him to drink 8 glasses of water a day. They
know the disposal is through urine, but they don't tell you what kind of
water to drink. Since all waste products are acidic, the best kind of water
is acid free alkaline water. Drinking 4 glasses
of this alkaline water is much more effective than 8 glasses of regular,
bottled water or filtered tap water. There are devices called water ionizers
that split alkaline minerals and acid minerals in regular tap water by
electrical means.
2. QUALITY AIR
As the saying goes - "every step you take, every breath you take ...".
If your environment is polluted with chemicals, dust, smoke, pet dander,
mold, micro-organisms, then much of your energy reserve will go just in
detoxifying. Today, even in the forest and near the ocean, the amount of
negative ions are much lower than they were only a few decades ago. Also,
since we sealed buildings to conserve energy and started making our homes
and furnishings with synthetic materials, the number of cases of asthma
and chronic fatigue have risen dramatically.
3. FOOD COMBINING
Food combining is key to creating an alkaline environment because when
you combine properly you reduce putrefaction in the body creating a more
alkaline condition.
4. ALKALIZING DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION
When you purchase supplements you must ask yourself what your goal is
and will these supplements actually help alkalize and remove acid from
your body. Green drinks are very helpful in filtering out toxins and acidity
in the body.
5. ALKALINE DIET
Eating an alkaline diet is very powerful in making everything else work
better. In general, it is important to eat a diet that contains both acidic
and alkalizing foods. People vary, but for most, the ideal diet is 75 percent
alkalizing and 25 percent acidifying (foods by volume).
Ionized Water is electronically enhanced water created through electrolysis.
It is produced by running normal tap water over positive (cathode) and
negative (anode) electrodes, which ionizes the minerals in the water creating
positive (hydrogen) and negative (hydroxyl) ions. The electrodes are composed
of titanium, the hardest metal known, and coated with platinum, which is
an excellent and durable conductor. It is important to note that the platinum
is not electroplated, but coated onto the titanium, meaning the titanium
plate is dipped into the platinum. Electroplated platinum would not last
long on the surface of the titanium. The membranes between the electrodes
are composed of either pulp mesh or complex plastic polymers. Polymer membranes
are more likely to warp if exposed to high temperatures. Pulp mesh holds
up to high temperatures much better than plastic polymers.
The centerpiece of Alkaline Ionized Water are its antioxidant properties.
It is miraculous that normal tap water can be instantly transformed into
a strong antioxidant. Alkaline Ionized Water has two antioxidant qualities;
its negative charge and the presence of hydroxyl ions which are free radical
scavengers. The body is starved for electrons and Alkaline Ionized Water
contains an abundance of them, which nullify free radicals in the body.
Alkaline Ionized Water is an extremely effective antioxidant because it
is a liquid that has a small grouping of water molecule clusters and thus
is more easily absorbed into the body where it can be of immediate use.
Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water gives you energy through better hydration
and alkalization of the body and by providing the body with oxygen.
Because of the predominance of hydroxyl ions in Alkaline Ionized Water,
the water becomes alkaline, meaning it has a high pH. The pH level can
be adjusted with a water ionizer between 7.5 and 9.9, which is the highest
pH that it should be consumed. Ionized Water is sometimes referred to as
micro-cluster water because of its small molecular grouping. Water molecules
typically group in clusters of 10 or more. Ionized Water molecule clusters
group together into six water molecules, thus they have been reduced in
size, which is the most natural state for water to exist in. Ionization
changes conventional water from an irregular, bulky shape to a hexagonal
shape that saturates body tissue much more efficiently. These smaller six-sided
clusters are extremely penetrating and hydrating. As it hydrates body tissue,
Ionized Water pushes out all the things that don't belong in the body,
which are commonly referred to as toxins. Therefore, Ionized Water is extremely
detoxifying, which is why people who are quite toxic must start drinking
Ionized Water slowly so they do not detoxify too quickly.
Ionized Water is best consumed straight out of the tap because it is
most effective when it is fresh. Ionized Water should become a part of
everyone's lifestyle if they wish to be healthy. It is the best substance
we can possibly consume because there is nothing healthier for the body
than water and there is no better water than Ionized Water.
To ionize means to gain or lose an electron. Essentially, the ionization
process robs an electron from one molecule and donates, or transfers, it
to another molecule. Both Alkaline and Acid Ionized Water have extraordinary
properties and benefits, however, their respective uses could not be more
different. We consume Alkaline Ionized Water and use the Acid Ionized Water
on the outside of our bodies for acne, cuts, scrapes and rashes of all
kinds. It kills bacteria on contact and encourages plant growth. The centerpiece
of Alkaline Ionized Water are its antioxidant properties. It is miraculous
that normal tap water can be instantly transformed into a strong antioxidant.
Alkaline Ionized Water has two antioxidant qualities, its negative charge
and the presence of hydroxyl ions which are free radical scavengers. The
body is starved for electrons and Alkaline Ionized Water contains an abundance
of them, which nullify free radicals in the body.
One can thrive on half the normal intake of food as long as we consume
high electron-rich nutrients. Alkaline Ionized Water is an extremely effective
antioxidant because it is a liquid that has a small grouping of water molecule
clusters and thus is more easily absorbed into the body where it can be
of immediate use. Drinking Alkaline Ionized Water gives you energy through
better hydration and alkalization of the body and by providing the body
with oxygen. Because of the predominance of hydroxyl ions in Alkaline Ionized
Water, the water becomes alkaline, meaning it has a high pH. The pH level
can be adjusted with a water ionizer between 7.5 and 9.9, which is the
highest pH that it should be consumed. All disease thrives in an acid environment
in the body and will not flourish and thrive in an alkaline environment.
