PH
Balancing during our program
Have you ever changed
your dietary habits to more fruits and vegetables, or experimented
with non-animal flesh dishes. Improving a lifetime of eating habits
is not an easy task. Regardless of the reasons, most are not aware
of the physiological necessity of a plant-based diet.
The pH scale ranges from
1-14. The highest acid level possible is a 1pH. The most alkaline
level possible is a 14pH. The proportion of acid minerals relative
to alkaline minerals is the major factor I use often to understand
what is happening internally. Body chemistry has a delicate range
between 6.8-7.4 pH for proper maintenance of health. This pH range
is necessary for the whole body to function well physically,
emotionally, and mentally. That is not a philosophy; it is a
physiological fact for cellular integrity.
The environment of the stomach is acidic, while the intestine
environment "ideally" is alkaline. I use the word a
"ideally" with intention. Due to the poor diet of our
modern culture, the intestines are generally more acidic than nature
intended it to be. As the landscape of dis-ease is created, it turns
into an environment of parasitic and bacterial infestation, opposed
to an alkaline symbiotic homeostasis.
Would you prefer
creating a toxic, acidic, anaerobic, parasite-laden, and
systemically dis-eased body, or an alkaline, oxygen rich cellular
system, which is vitally strong, and capable of defending itself
against common illnesses associated with an average lifestyle? The
decision is yours. Every action you take is a choice toward health
or death. Which will you choose?
Characteristic of Alkalinity
There are five alkaline-forming minerals, also known as acid-binding
minerals. These minerals are: calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium,
and iron. Each of these are important for creating a healthy
alkaline environment. These minerals bind with acid minerals and
evacuate those acidic and toxic substances. Consuming more alkaline
foods allows for a mucousless body. A vision of a mucous-free body
is no sinus congestion, chronic lymphatic congestion or swelling,
fluid accumulation in the lungs, joint calcification, calcium
deficiency, etc.
A person who has properly balanced pH will be happy, content, free
of body aches, and muscle cramps. They will enjoy being emotionally
stable and mentally clear. The result are extraordinary because the
tissues will exist in their natural and optimal alkaline
environment, conducive for health.
Thoughts and emotions are powerful forces that can alter our
internal chemistry. Happy people can life longer and healthier
because a positive attitude will help create an alkaline
environment. As you may have already guessed, negative thoughts and
emotions create acidic waste. I have observed many people who have
average to fair diets live a healthier life because their outlook or
disposition is joyous. Conversely, a person with dark thoughts and
aggressive emotions will not find greater health on a better diet
until they deal with the greater underlying issues of negativity.
The graph on frequency illustrated how the emotional and mental
energies have a greater influence on the body than the lower
frequencies of fresh produce or herbs. The same holds true with
their effects on body pH.
Sunlight effects the levels of acid within the body as well. An
alkaline chemistry is enhanced by the presence of full spectrum
sunlight. The opposite is true in the absence of sunlight. Darkness
creates acid build-up within bodily tissues. The effects compromise
the immune system, skin vitality, vitamin D production, and more.
Realize to the marrow of your bones that intention with integrity
produces the best health possible. There are no quick fixes for the
long-term health and well-being.
Alkalinity creates. . .

In 1911, Dr. Alexis
Carrel began what is now called "The chicken heart study."
While working in his laboratory he discovered that it was possible
to keep a chicken heart alive as long as it remained in a colloidal
nutrient solution and replenished it faithfully every 48 hours. By
following this simple procedure he was able to sustain the life of
that tissue for 25 years! A second study which used different
cellular tissue had similar results. These are remarkable findings.
Imagine this possibility; all creatures upon this planet have the
opportunity for immortality. By supplying a cell with its required
nutrition and removing any metabolic or toxic waste, it can live
indefinitely.
There is documentation
in Chinese medical writings were a doctor would remove toxic or
damaged organs from a person and submerge this organ in a water or
herbal bath. Once the tissues were properly washed and allowed to
soak-up nutritive fluids, it was reattached to the person. This
procedure was a successful and common practice that gave a patient
marked improvement in their health. This is why fluid exchange is
vitally necessary for cellular integrity. Next time you choose your
thoughts, actions, reactions and foods, be aware of this
mortality-factor.
Characteristics of Acidity
Acidity, by its nature, breaks down bodily tissue. It is created by
metabolic, dietary and environmental waste. The minerals which are
acid-forming also known as alkaline-binding minerals are:
phosphorous, chlorine, sulfur, silicon, iodine, and bromine. Acids
are highly irritating to delicate internal tissue. An acidic
chemistry will promote tissue dis-ease and symptomatic side-effects.
Cells can adapt to their unnaturally acidic environment. That
abnormal cell-growth is often diagnosed as tumorous or cancerous. My
research and experience has shown that most dis-ease is a result of
acidic build-up and an anaerobic environment. This may sound over
simplified, yet it is the initial "root cause." In
addition, when acidic accumulation is not eliminated properly, body
alkalinity decreases and acidity increases.
An acidic pH will
greatly disrupt the body's mineral balance of the three dominant
alkaline minerals: sodium, calcium, magnesium. The body will take
calcium from the bones to neutralize the acid environment.
Eventually it will use up or transmute its own reserve of alkaline
minerals to balance its chemistry. When toxins remain: calcium
deposits, tissue inflamation, joints and bones deterioration,
swollen joints, body aches, tumors, lymph congestion, excess mucus
production, skin problems, allergies, colds, flu, swollen tonsils,
loss of eyesight. In addition to this, a host of severe aggravation
will occur from yeast and parasitic infections.
As a natural metabolic
process, acids are created and ideally released out of the 5
eliminative organs: bowels, kidney, lungs, skin and lymph. All dis-ease,
from viral infection to organ dysfunction, will develop acidic
waste. When the proper proportions of quality nutrition and water
are consumed, then optimum health is achievable. The body works in
various ways to remove the poisonous waste. Eventually it must be
removed.
Suppressing a healing opportunity or toxins with synthetic drugs
will inhibit body's janitorial service from serving you properly.
When symptoms are suppressed acidic waste does not it to leave the
body. These waste products dry-up and become dormant pockets of
condensed waste without an adequate outlet. This causes the
surrounding tissues to mutate. If the acid environment is left
unregulated it will eventually result in abnormal cell-growth. If
health tissue is able it will encapsulate the toxic and abnormal
cells to keep it from further harming local tissue.
Saliva & Urine testing is simple
pH ranges of bodily
fluids
saliva pH 6.8 - 7.8
urine pH 6.3 - 7.2
You can determine the body's pH through self-testing urine and
saliva with pH/litmus paper. The highest quality litmus paper
available shows distinct color changes in 0.0.2 increments; this is
essential for an accurate analysis. With greater sensitivity you can
better detect changes. It can be helpful to test yourself daily or
weekly to see how pH levels can fluctuate.
SALIVA: Take a saliva reading before and after meals. The alkaline
levels of your saliva should be greater after meals because there is
an abundance of alkaline-rich minerals in saliva. Then test your
saliva 10-15 minutes after a meal. If the pH level does not rise
within the pH ranges, then your alkaline mineral reserves are low.
If the pH drops, this indicates a severe alkaline mineral depletion.
Leave enough time after eating to test saliva fluid and not the
food's pH level.
URINE: For best test results, reserve your urine pH in a glass
container for a 24-hour period. This will show the level acidic
wastes are being excreted. In the morning and during cleansing or
fasting there may be more acid waste. You can likely see urine pH
become more alkaline as the day progresses.
