A Balanced pH in Your Body Is A
Critical Factor
For a Healthy Internal Environment and Immune System
Healing or remission of chronic
illness takes place
only when your body fluids are restored to a normal pH.
A recent seven-year study conducted at the University of California,
San Francisco, on 9,000 women showed that those who have chronic acidosis
are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels.
The scientists who carried out this experiment believe that many of the
hip fractures prevalent among middle-aged women are connected to high
acidity caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables. This
is because the body borrows calcium from the bones in order to balance
pH.
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
Could You Be Suffering from pH Imbalance?
If you have a health problem, most likely you are acidic. Scientists
have discovered that the body fluids of healthy people are alkaline (high
pH), whereas the body fluids of sick people are acidic (low pH).
Unless your body's pH level is slightly alkaline, your body cannot heal
itself. No matter what method you use to heal, it won't be effective until
your blood pH level is normalized.
Balancing your pH is a major step
toward well-being and greater health.
Diseases Linked to pH Acidity
All diseases exists in an acidic body, and most people are acidic from
poor diet and lifestyle choices. The magnitude of this factor is of incredible
importance to someone who is fighting a disease, overcoming an illness,
or just wanting to be healthy.
An extended time in an acidic pH state can result in many discomforts
and diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue
syndrome, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis, high blood pressure
& cholesterol, heart disease, most cancers, eczema & acne, kidney
& gall stones, gout, hiatal hernia, indigestion, anxiety, diarrhea,
dilated pupils, extroverted behavior, fatigue in early morning, headaches,
hyperactivity, insomnia, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, muscle cramps,
restless legs, shortness of breath, strong appetite, and many more.
Your body's pH levels affect every process within. If your pH is acidic,
you cannot effectively absorb nutrition (vitamins, minerals or supplements).
Research has already proven that disease cannot survive in an alkaline
cellular environment, and thrives in an acidic environment.
Our overly acidic lifestyles produce
very high rates of disease.
Your body pH affects every aspect of your health, therefore it should
be one the first issues to address when experiencing symptoms of ill health.
Proper nutrition and activity can help return & maintain your body?s
pH levels near normal, promoting health and vitality.
Some Dangers of an Acidic pH
An acidic pH balance will:
decrease your body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients,
decrease energy production in your cells,
decrease your ability to repair damaged cells, and your ability to detoxify
heavy metals,
make tumor cells thrive,
and make you more susceptible to fatigue and illness.
pH Balance Is Crucial For Your Health
Healthy body fluids have a narrow pH range: outside this range is an
environment in which disease thrives. Normalizing your body?s pH will
adjust the cellular environment to promote health and natural healing.
Louis Pasteur said before he
died, "The germ is nothing. The terrain is everything."
Diseases are not cured (although this has happened), instead you remove
the environment in which they exist. These dynamic reactions are generally
not understood by conventional medicine.
Your body is an amazing, naturally
self-correcting system:
if you work with it, it is capable of tremendous self healing.
How to Balance Your Body's pH
Balancing your body's pH is really quite simple,
once you understand some basics.
The most critical supplements
to help balance your pH,
are Superfoods,
Minerals
and Energized
Water.
Superfoods
Natural superfood supplements, from living plants enable pH balancing
by supporting proper nutrient absorption and toxin elimination. They
are an essential part of your diet if you plan on being naturally healthy
and pain free. Read
more about Superfoods.
Minerals
Mineral Supplementation Therapy does not cure disease... it helps
keep the pH level of your body fluids balanced, so your body can overcome
disease naturally, the way it was meant to. To excrete excess acid build-up
(common from acid forming diets & lifestyles) and maintain a balanced
pH, your body uses minerals from your bones. Your body will deplete
your skeleton (less essential to life) of minerals to maintain your
essential organs. Over a lifetime, your alkalizing minerals become depleted,
causing osteoporosis. Read more about "How
Minerals are Responsible for pH Balancing"
Energized
Water
Drinking high pH alkaline, Energized Water will definitely help your
body's "terrain" to prevent and even reverse disease. In other
words, a body with balanced pH is an environment where disease, including
cancer, cannot exist. Alkaline, energized water will help raise the
pH of your body fluids, and flush the stored, harmful acid wastes &
heavy metals from your tissues. Energized water has had its molecular
structure returned to its natural life-giving, super moisturizing state.
This allows maximum hydration of your cells; a major key to healing,
and the maintenance of your health and vitality. Read
more about Energized Water.
Algae
Algae supplements deliver large amount of life-giving
easily absorbed chlorophyll that enables pH balancing through improved
nutrient absorption and toxin elimination. Again... this is essential
for you to be naturally healthy and pain free. Read
more about Algae.
Enzymes
Enzymes are the spark of life... a critical energy that runs your entire
body. Without them, you couldn't digest or absorb food and all your
cellular functioning would stop. At the foundation of all body functions,
enzymes are essential activators in chemical reactions that are continually
taking place within your body. They are specific catalysts that join
with coenzymes (vitamins & minerals), to be used by your body. Learn
more about Enzyme Supplementation
Magnesium
Supplementation
At the risk of your long term health, your body will draw magnesium
(and other minerals) out of storage in your bones, to maintain pH balance,
required for health. Unlike calcium that is easily obtained from foods
we eat, magnesium is deficient in most soils, and is therefore deficient
in your diet. Supplementation of magnesium is essential to maintain
healthy mineral levels. Read
more about Magnesium Supplementation.
Himalayan
Crystal Salt
Regular consumption of natural salt provides your body with natural
minerals, trace elements and living energy. This will help balance your
pH and the electrolytes in fluids of your body, support proper nutrient
absorption and toxin elimination. Natural salt is a whole food:
an essential nutrient with exceptional abilities and qualities that
are fundamental to keeping us alive. Refined table salt (sodium chloride)
produces acidifying brine. Our natural Himalayan Crystal Salt produces
alkalizing brine that is rich in trace minerals. Read more about
Natural Himalayan Crystal Salt, and
Himalayan Crystal Salt, Brine Therapy.

 Alkalize
or Die
by Theodore A. Baroody
By following the guidelines in this book you can evaluate your alkaline/acid
situation, determine a course of correction, and achieve a high level
of vitality and strength.
This powerful title carries an important message that can benefit everyone.
It may revolutionize health care of the future with one simple principle:
Alkalize Yourself!
Dr. Baroody's comprehensive research and clinical findings indicate
that illness and disease are directly linked to over-acidity in the
system. The polluted air we breathe, the nutrient poor food and water
we ingest are just part of the problem. Stress on all levels - physical,
emotional, mental, and even spiritual cause the body to overproduce
acid wastes, upsetting our delicate alkaline/acid balance.
How Your Body's pH Balance
Easily Becomes Too Acidic
Eating processed & cooked foods, smoking, consuming alcohol, lack
of sleep, stress, toxin overload, lack of exercise, and any process
that deprives your cells of oxygen or minerals will turn your pH level
towards acidic. This adversely affects your absorption of nutrients,
elimination of toxins, and the proficient functioning of your immune
system. All of these are crucial for your health and well being.
The Standard American Diet (abbreviated SAD) is extremely acid-forming:
far too high in acid producing animal products (cooked meat, eggs, dairy,
and refined white flour, sugar & salt), and far too low in alkaline
producing foods (fresh fruits & vegetables).
If you drink acid producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks,
especially with artificial sweeteners (NutraSweet, Spoonful, Sweet 'N
Low, Equal, Aspartame) that are extremely acid forming, on top of being
poisonous, you are constantly adding to your acid load. Food consumption
surveys show that Americans now consume more soft drinks than any other
beverage, including water. This is very, very SAD.
The foods we eat are grown in fields that are deficient in alkalizing
minerals. Eating commercially produced foods is an acidic disaster in
the making.
An example of the resulting widespread acidosis is the effect on bone
health. It?s known that high protein diets increase risk for osteoporosis.
Now it appears that a high intake of acid-forming foods (primarily meat,
poultry & eggs) over a lifetime, can accelerate the loss of alkaline
minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium) from your bones. In other words,
your body may deplete one system (the skeleton) in order to maintain
balance in another more sensitive system (the blood).
Your body will compensate for acidity by using alkaline minerals. If
your diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up
of acids in your cells will follow.
Simple changes to your diet and lifestyle can correct an acid imbalance.
To maintain health, your diet should consist of 60% alkaline forming
foods and 40% acid forming foods.
To restore health, your diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming
foods and 20% acid forming foods.
