pH
Our bodies are mostly made up of water, which is very useful in allowing nutrients, oxygen and biochemical's to be transported throughout the entire body to specific locations. This liquid based medium can have either acid or alkaline properties which are measured by a scale called pH (for "potential hydrogen").
- 1.0 to 6.9 is considered acidic
- 7.0 is neutral
- 7.1 to 14.0 is alkaline
The lower the pH number, the greater the acidity, and the higher the pH number, the greater the alkalinity.
pH Scale
pH 8.0 = 6,000,000,000 Acid Ions
pH 7.0 = 60,000,000,000 Acid Ions
pH 6.0 = 600,000,000,000 Acid Ions
pH 5.0 = 6,000,000,000,000 Acid Ions
0.1 Decrease in pH = 100% Increase Acidity
Causes of Acidity
EXCESS DIETARY PROTIEN
XENOBIOTIC REACTIONS (the residue left behind from medicine breakdown)
MICROBE REACTIONS (bacteria, parasites, fungas, protezoa, etc.)
EATING LATE (stomach at its weak point)
KIDNEY DYSFUNCTION
LUNG DYSFUNCTION (shallow breathers, 70% acid waste)
ELM (electromagnetic (microwaves, TVs, computers, cars, cell phones)
POOR R & R (rest and relaxation)
LOW AEROBICS
OVER EXERCISING
STRESS REACTIONS
POOR DIET SELECTIONS (refined carbs, sugar foods, soft drinks, etc.)
POOR EXCRETIONS (this is a cell function, nutrients can't get in metabolic waste builds up)
Why We Get Sick
Acid urine pH leads to acid extra cellular fluid
Acid extra cellular fluid leads to alkaline Blood
Alkaline blood leads to blood Sludge low oxygen to cells
Low oxygen to cells leads to a higher potential for degeneration & cancer
Signs / Symptoms / Conditions
- Hands stiff and sore when you make a fist first thing in the morning.
- Do you seem to loosen up as the day goes along?
- Dont sleep well or restless.
- Go to bed tired and wake up tired?
- Urine has a strong smell, especially ammonia.
- Osteoporosis
- Weak immune system
- Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Weight gain
- Anemia
- Joint pain
Saliva pH & transit Time
Acid Saliva pH = a faster transit time, hyper function, inflammation
Alkaline saliva pH = a slower transit time, hypo function, toxicity
Two major types of Acidosis (reactive and metabolic)
REACTIVE ACIDOSIS minor situation possible causes:
Eating Too Fast
Eating Too Late (stomach is at its weakest at 7 pm / strongest at 7 am)
Food Allergies (these are your IgG foods that are delayed reactions)
Too Little Exercise
Stress
Over Eating
Medicine
Sugar ( average American consumes around 200lbs. a year now)
EMF (electromagnetic - powerlines, cell phones, microwaves, geopathic stress, etc.)
METABOLIC ACIDOSIS - more serious problem possible causes - includes all the above over a long period of time, which leads to the following:
Low HCL (hydro chloric acid) Production
Low Enzyme Production
Heavy Oxidation Stress
Microbe proliferation (bacteria, fungus, parasites, amebas, etc.)
Adrenal Stress or Fatigue
Heavy Metal Load
Prolonged Stress
Dysbiosis Of The Gut (leaky gut)
