pH – THE ACID / ALKALINE MYSTERY
In the last couple of years, this subject of the Body’s Acid / Alkaline Balance has become one of the most argued about topics and yet, it is still one of the least understood. There is a tremendous amount of false information surrounding the field, and I’d like to clearly explain this subject once and for all.
“pH” is from a German term that originally translated as “power Hydrogen”. pH describes the Acid or Alkaline state of any substance when mixed with water.
To show the Acid or Alkaline content of a mixture, there is a pH scale from 1 to 14 in which 7 is completely neutral. Below 7 is Acid. Above 7 is Alkaline.
Too much Acid or too much Alkaline is harmful to the body. This fact has been known for quite some time. But what about Nutrition and the Foods we eat? And what is the exact relationship and how do these affect the amount of Acid or Alkaline produced in our bodies?
Acidosis (a body that is too acidic) is, THE NUMBER ONE PHYSICAL “WHY” (REASON) BEHIND JUST ABOUT EVERY ILL IN THE UNITED STATES TODAY ! ! ! This fact is unknown to most Americans, as well as Medical Doctors and other Health Care Professionals.
Why is this? And what exactly is Acidosis?
Welllllll, all foods that we eat are either Acid Ash or Alkaline Ash in their make up, and when I use the word “ASH”, I’m referring to what is left over when food has been fully metabolized or “burned up”. The body as a whole was designed to operate for the most part in a slightly Alkaline environment. If you eat too many Acid Ash producing foods, your body will eventually begin to rob itself of its valuable Calcium stores to balance the body back to the Alkaline side of the scale. However, THE ONE BODILY SYSTEM THAT CANNOT AFFORD TO SWING TOO FAR FROM ITS ACID / ALKALINE BALANCE IS YOUR BLOOD!!! Your Blood operates between 7.3 and 7.5 on the Alkaline side of this pH Scale and if it goes out of this range, you’re dead!!! Your body will NOT allow this to happen under any circumstance if it can help it, so it will first rob the softer Tissues, Organs and Glands of their Calcium stores. Eventually, as time goes by, your body will also leech your Teeth and Bones of their much needed Calcium to balance this out-of-whack situation. This is the “Why” behind Arthritis, Bone Loss, Tooth Decay, Liver / Kidney Failure, and a multitude of other diseases too numerous to mention. According to my up-to-date research, every disease has some connection to an Acid/Alkaline Imbalance. Therefore, pH definitely has a crucial influence on overall health and physical well-being.
We’ve been programmed over the years by the American Fast Food Industry to eat almost exclusively Acid Ash Foods and this has got to change – permanently!!! I have published a chart of edibles that show both Acid Ash and Alkaline Ash producing foods so that you and your family can start making necessary and ongoing dietary changes that will permanently solve this Acidosis problem.
It can sometimes take many months (and even a couple of years) to replace this Calcium loss, but there are several things you can do to dramatically speed up this process.
The first thing you should do is to start eating more Alkaline ash foods and less Acid forming foods. My Lemon Egg Formula is essential in replacing lost Calcium. Additionally, taking my Body Balance+ Formula and doing a Total Body Cleanse will dramatically aid in a speedy recovery from bad eating habits.
Yours in Knowledge, Health and Freedom,
