pH Balancing Is a Must to Regain Your Health

Maintaining proper body cell and tissue pH is critical for staying healthy and creating an inhospitable environment for cancer cells and virus-bacteria-fungus to multiply.

If you have ever maintained a swimming pool, you will have had to verify the pH of the water on a regular basis and have had to add different chemicals to keep it at pH neutral. Our bodies are in effect like a swimming pool, as we are 80% water and our pH needs to be kept at 7.4 neutral to be healthy. When we were born our pH was slightly alkaline. The 'perfect' neutral state of 7.4 pH is what we want to maintain to fight off chronic diseases. Excess acidity, such as 7.0 or even lower 6.7 pH is a condition that weakens all body systems.

Excess acidity forces the body to borrow minerals - including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium - from vital organs, bones and teeth to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. When the body is mostly in an acidic state, it will suffer severe and prolonged 'corrosion' and unfortunately this condition may go unnoticed many years.

Everyone knows that cancer needs an acidic and low oxygen environment to survive and flourish. Research has proven that terminal cancer patients have an acidity level of 1,000 times more than normal healthy people. The reason is simple. Without oxygen, glucose undergoing fermentation becomes lactic acid. This causes the pH of the cell to drop. Sometimes, the level can even fall to 6.0 and 5.7 or lower. The basic truth is that our bodies simply cannot fight diseases if our pH is not properly balanced.

The Dangers of Acidosis are:

Lowers the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients
Acidosis over an extended time frame can result in rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and most cancers.
Lowers energy production in the cells
Lowers the body's ability to repair damaged cells
Decreases the body's ability to detoxify heavy metals
Permits cancer tumour cells to thrive
More susceptibility to fatigue and illness
Contributes to anxiety, diarrhea, dilated pupils, extroverted behaviour, fatigue in early morning, headaches, hyperactivity, hyper sexuality, insomnia, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, restless legs, shortness of breath, strong appetite, high blood pressure, warm dry hands and feet.

Alkalising Program with the Alkalizing Homeopathic agent "SAN" and "ALKALA"

The Budwig Center in Southern Spain has developed a protocol that brings the acidic pH state of patients to the ideal neutral state 7.4

Research strongly supports the concept that if the pH of the body is brought to the neutral pH state, most if not all diseases and illnesses will be halted and healing can then take place.

Cancer Cells Fight to Keep the Body Acidic

Some clinics and health Centers teach that with a diet high in alkaline forming foods you can bring the body into a pH neutral. This may be true with some illnesses, but cancer and chronic diseases are different. Cancer and diseased cells can only thrive in a pH acidic state and it fights hard to stay acidic. The secret is to deprive the diseased cells of a favourable environment, and to do so the tissue-pH value must be changed from acid to alkaline. Sounds simple enough but again this is very hard to do. Why? Because all alkaline-forming nutrition loses its intended effect soon after entering the bloodstream, as it is used up in the blood for buffering, before it can reach the tissue.

Alkalizing Homeopathic agent "SAN" and "ALKALA"

When the homeopathic formula SAN and ALKALA is consumed the Acidification of the blood lowers the blood-pH value until it and the tissue-pH value reach the same level.

When you start the acid substances will be discharged from the tissue into the blood, the pH value of which drops for a short time to very low values.

Next there is an excretion of the pathological substances of the tissue via blood, liver, kidneys, and skin during this period. Do not be surprised that there will be an apparent pungent and acid smell. This is a good sign!

Also do not be surprised that during this 5 week alkalizing period there will be days you do not feel all that well. In fact you might feel irritable, aggressive, and depressed at the same time.

The good news is that this "changeover reaction", usually lasts for three days, as the pH value of tissue and blood reach the same level.

What are some of the problems that "acidosis" can lead to?

1.) First of all it leads to weight gain and diabetes. When our body is too acidic, we suffer from a condition known as Insulin Sensitivity which forces excessive insulin to be produced. The end result is that the body is flooded with so much insulin that it in turn converts every calorie into fat. In addition, the acidosis state also disrupts the insulin producing pancreatic beta cells. These beta cells are especially sensitive to pH and simply cannot survive if the body is too acidic. Now when this occurs, beta cells will lose phase with one another. They are no longer in harmony. Their cellular communication will be thwarted and the body's immune system will start to over-respond. Stress within the cells will increase, making them more difficult to perform adequately and survive.

2.) Second it accelerates free-radical damage and premature aging. Yes acidosis is the first step towards premature aging. Signs of acidosis may include wrinkling, age spots, failing hormonal systems, interfering with eyesight, memory, and all the common signs of aging. Unwanted wastes not properly eliminated from the body actually poison the cells and accelerates degeneration.

3.) Third, it disrupts nerve and brain function. Acidosis also disrupts lipid and fatty acid, which are involved in nerve and brain function. This disruption causes neurological problems such as MS, MD as well as problems with hormonal balance within the endocrine system. An acidic environment also causes LDL-cholesterol to be laid down at an accelerated rate in the heart, inappropriately lining and clogging up the vascular network, damaging arterial walls, causing cholesterol oxidation and the formation of plaque with heavy metals.

4.) Fourth, it corrodes arteries, veins, and heart tissues. It could be compared to an acid that eats into marble, as it erodes and eats into cell wall membranes of the heart, arteries and veins. During this process of erosion, our heart structures and inter connective tissues are weakened. The heart is normal when the pH of blood plasma is slightly alkaline, having a pH of 7.35 to 7.41. Acid pH changes of blood are now thought to result in, arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) aneurysm (widening and ballooning of artery walls), arrhythmias (abnormal rhythms of the heart including tachycardia), myocardial infarction (heart attacks) and strokes (a cardiovascular accident).

5.) Fifth, it slows the delivery of oxygen into the cell. Having an acidic pH will reduce the amount of oxygen that is delivered to the cells. They will eventually die.

Most of the time, the body becomes acidic due to a diet rich in acids, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. When this happens, the body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals such as calcium. As a result, calcium is removed from the bones, causing osteoporosis.
