pH Balance - Alkalize or Die

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
pH Imbalance is Disease

Physiological disease can be described as an acid stress of the body’s pH balance sufficient to provoke the body into producing disease symptoms. Symptoms are an expression of this stress, but can also be the effort to balance it. Depending upon the extent of the stress, symptoms may or may not be visible or felt. Disease can also be simple toxification, or poisoning, of an otherwise healthy individual be an external source. For the vast majority of people, however, it is ongoing, self-generated acid stress that underlies most symptoms. Remember that disease symptoms include the microforms that produce the toxins that result in secondary symptoms. Metabolic processes depend on a delicately balanced pH, which harmonizes the electrical energies. The body tries to maintain blood pH at around 7.3, much like it maintains temperature at 98.6. If it wavers higher or lower (infinitely more common), certain enzymatic reactions, which regulate cellular metabolism, fail to occur, and death will result.

Thus, a declining pH cannot be allowed, so the blood begins to pull in alkaline salts to compensate. The pH of urine is a measure of its hydrogen ion concentration. A pH below 7 indicates acid urine. A pH above 7 indicates alkaline urine. The body terrain must be kept in balance just as good soil maintains its balance. The correct acid/alkaline pH ration of the earth’s terrain is essential for all plant growth. It is the nutrient reserves of the soil that determine the correct pH and the amount of nutrients the plant extracts from the soil. Our cells will extract nutrients from the blood only when the correct pH ratio is maintained. “disease is an expression of you pH”. The test results above reveal those nutrients currently not being assimilated via poor eating habits, faulty digestion or small intestine damage.

There is a family of minerals that are especially suited to neutralizing, or detoxifying, strong acids. They are sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. They exist as salts in our tissues, and are highly alkaline. One such salt is sodium carbonate, written in chemistry as NA2CO3. When these salts encounter strong acids, such as those produced by Y/F, they react with the acids to form less detrimental compounds, also called salts, which can then be eliminated. A healthy body maintains alkaline reserves - a reserve supply of fixed bases held in the tissues - which are used to meet emergency demands. If insufficient minerals are available from the diet or the reserves, they are ‘recruited’ elsewhere, such as from bone (calcium) or muscle (magnesium). This can easily lead to deficiency symptoms. If the overload is too great, excess acid is dumped into the tissues for storage. Then the lymphatic (immune) system must neutralize what it can and attempt to discard everything. If the lymphatic system is overloaded and/or its vessels are not functioning properly (generally due to the lack of exercise) acid deposits will build up in the tissues.

If the lymphatics are working, they will pick up acid waste and the neutralized complexes. Unfortunately, however, they must dump them right back into the blood. This will force the blood to attempt to gather more alkaline salts in order to compensate, while stressing the liver and kidneys. When the body is compensating, blood pH rises in alkalinity somewhat, while tissues can become highly acidic. This imbalance leads to irritation and inflammation. A healthy condition depends upon a high level of negative charge on the surfaces of tissue cells. Acidity is the opposite charge, and dampens out these electrical fields. If tissue pH deviates too far to the acid side, metabolism stops. In other words, cells are poisoned and die. Also, there is a decrease of oxygen (an anaerobic environment). Acidity and lack of oxygen are ideal environmental qualities for morbidly evolved and evolving microforms - major, primary symptoms of disease. Acute or recurrent illnesses are either the attempt by the body to mobilize mineral reserves from all parts of the body to prevent cellular breakdown, or crisis attempts at detoxification. The body may throw off acids ‘directly’ through the skin, creating so-called skin disorders, such as eczema, acne or boils. The body produces chronic symptoms when all possibilities of neutralizing or eliminating acids have been exhausted. Another way of looking at it is that morbidly evolved microforms produce symptoms when they have free reign to break down body tissues and processes by fermentation and acid mycotoxins.
