Increasing alkalinity and increasing oxygenation are two sides of the same coin. For reasons you now understand, more alkalinity increases oxygenation and more oxygenation increases alkalinity. Everything you do to improve alkalinity or oxygenation helps both - they complement each other. Cancer exists when the physiology is in a state called acid-hypoxia (acidic and low oxygen). Health exists when the physiology is in a state called alkaline-hyperoxia (alkaline and lots of oxygen). The two states are mutually exclusive

Checking your urine may not be a very pleasant task. But doing so can give you information about your own acid/alkaline balance. It gives information about your healthy ratio of acid/alkaline-forming foods and how your acid/alkaline balance changes with your monthly cycle, stress or other factors in your life.

Measuring your acid-base balance at home is done easily by collecting all urine produced in 24 hours. You will want to start with your second urine of the first day through the first urine of the next day. You can use the plastic water bottles you have sitting around that are not safe for storing drinking water anyway. Shake the total collection a few times, then simply dip in some pH paper and read it. Don’t be afraid –test your urine; it’s sterile! My source recommends pHydrion paper by Micro Essential Laboratory, Inc, in Brooklyn, NY (phone 718-338-3618; fax 718-692-4491). The range is from 5.5 to 8.0.

Generally pH range from 6.3 to 7.2 is within a safe range.

It is also good to check saliva pH. It is believed that saliva pH is an indicator of alkaline reserve in the body and the condition of the pH of the cells. A saliva pH of 6.8 to 7.2 taken before breakfast and before meals is considered normal. It should become more alkaline after meals, possibly around pH 7.2.

Some research indicates that if your pH before breakfast is below 6.2, it suggests an acid system with an inadequate amount of alkaline minerals, but with some alkaline reserve. After a meal, if the saliva pH is between 5.5 and 5.8 with no rise in pH, it means the body is extremely acid with no alkaline reserves left.

Although more research is being done on the question of optimal body pH, possibly the best way to tell if one is functioning at the best pH is to watch for the following characteristics.

Indicators of Optimal pH Function
1. Good energy
2. A calm nervous and muscle system
3. Bowels are moving regularly with effective digestion
4. Don’t catch colds or flu
5. General good feeling of physical, mental and spiritual vitality and clarity.

Recently, we were asked a question about the body being too alkaline.

Yes, it is possible for the body to be too alkaline.

Alkalosis is a condition of excess base, or alkali, in the body’s fluids. It is the opposite of acidosis, or excess acid in the body, and can be caused by different conditions.

The following information has been lifted directly from the MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

The lungs and kidneys regulate the acid/base status of the body. Decreased carbon dioxide or increased bicarbonate levels create an excessive alkaline state called alkalosis.

Respiratory alkalosis is caused by lower carbon dioxide levels. Hyperventilation (increased rate of breathing) causes the body to lose carbon dioxide. Altitude or a disease that causes reduced oxygen in the blood triggers the individual to breathe faster. This reduces carbon dioxide levels which results in respiratory alkalosis.

Metabolic alkalosis is caused by an excess of bicarbonate in blood. Hypochloremic alkalosis is caused by an extreme lack or loss of chloride, such as may be caused by prolonged vomiting. The kidneys compensate for the chloride loss by conserving bicarbonate.

Hypokalemic alkalosis is caused by the kidneys’ reaction to an extreme lack or loss of potassium which may be caused by some diuretic medications.

Compensated alkalosis is caused when the body has partially compensated for alkalosis, returning the acid/base balance to normal, even though bicarbonate and carbon dioxide levels remain abnormal.

Symptoms

* Confusion (can progress to stupor or coma)
* Muscle twitching
* Hand tremor
* Prolonged muscle spasms (tetany)
* Nausea, vomiting
* Numbness or tingling in the face or extremities
* Light-headedness

Signs and tests

* Tests for pH indicate alkalosis or acidosis.
* Tests for carbon dioxide and bicarbonate levels indicate the cause of alkalosis or acidosis, either respiratory (breathing-related) or metabolic (kidney-related).

Some of these tests include:

* Arterial blood gas (or venous blood gas)
* Urinalysis
* Litmus paper (urine dipstick tests)
* Urine pH
* Chem-20

Treatment

Treatment of alkalosis depends on finding the specific cause. For alkalosis caused by hyperventilation, breathing into a paper bag causes more carbon dioxide to be retained. Oxygen may be administered.

Medications to correct chemical loss (chloride, potassium, etc.) may be needed. Vital signs (temperature, pulse, rate of breathing, blood pressure) are monitored.

Expectations (prognosis)

Most cases of alkalosis respond well to treatment.

Complications

* Coma
* Arrhythmias
* Electrolyte imbalance (such as hypokalemia)

Calling your health care provider

Call your health care provider if a person becomes confused, is unable to concentrate, or if the person is unable to “catch their breath”.

Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if a person passes out (loses consciousness), experiences severe breathing difficulties, has seizures, or if symptoms of alkalosis occur and rapidly worsen.

Prevention

The prevention depends on the cause of the alkalosis. Normally, individuals with healthy kidneys and lungs do not significantly experience alkalosis.

There has been a lot of talk recently about acid /alkaline imbalance.  The experts can help us by recommending how we correct this imbalance.

What is the problem with Acid/Alkaline Balance?  Your body functions at its best when it is in
balance, when it is not too acidic or too alkaline.  The unfortunate thing is that almost all of us are acidic due to our diets, what we drink and the effect of stress from the pollution in our environment and psychologically.  When acids build up in our body it causes our systems to become out of balance.

What are the effects?  "Acid wastes build up in the body in the form of cholesterol, gallstones, kidney stones, arterial plaque, urates, phosphates and sulfates. These acidic waste products are the direct cause of premature aging and the onset of chronic disease," According to Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky.  What the body does to restore its optimal pH balance is it depletes minerals like potassium, calcium and magnesium from the organs and bones.  This may cause your immune system to become fatigued from handling an excess of acid. Your body will store acidic wastes in your body like your muscles and fat rather than releasing the acidic waste into the bloodstream.
  
Just about every condition I can think of, from arthritis to diabetes to cancer, is associated with acidity," notes Dr. Robert Atkins, the well known author, health and diet expert.  "The countless names of illnesses do not really matter.  What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!", says Theodore A. Baroody, ND, Ph.D.

What can be done about this?  Massive research about this reveals that you can take some simple steps to help neutralize acid build-up in the blood and maintain a balanced pH.  Simple steps you can take are:
 
* Exercise
* Avoiding highly acid-forming food and drink
* Drinking the right water

What is the "right" water?  According to Dr. Leonard Horowitz in "Aids and Ebola", "International studies show that populations with little or no history of illness, such as cancer, drink higher pH (alkaline) waters. After all potential risk factors were considered and factored out, it became evident that they had been drinking waters with a pH of 9.0 to 10.0." 

Alkaline ionized water "first came to notice in Japan, where researchers noted that people drinking water that came from certain fast- moving rocky mountain streams enjoyed extraordinarily good health. It turned out that this naturally occurring water was alkaline and had a different structure and electrical properties." Larry Clapp, PhD. in "Prostate Health in 90 days"

Alkaline ionized water was used in hospitals in Japan.  It was noticed that patients were   experiencing marked health improvements and were released from the hospital and sent home.  After a short time the patients had reoccurences and were re-admitted to the hospital.
 
Alkaline ionized water can now be produced at home with a small kitchen unit called the Enagic SD501, which has been in long use in Japan.  More and more health professionals have had the opportunity to evaluate the effects of Alkaline water ionizers on clients due to the fact that Alkaline water ionizers have become popular in North America and Canada:
   
We can "assist the body in being more alkaline with …drinking alkaline water." writes   Sue Pollock, N.D.

In "Alkalize or Die", Dr. T. Baroody writes, "It is my opinion that ionized water will change the way in which all health practitioners and the public approach their health in the coming years." 

"I believe that the best water is water that is alkaline (reduced) and purified using a small device known as a water ionizer." (Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky)

Well why not just rely on a change of diet, you may ask?  Researcher and author of "Reverse Aging", Sang Whang says that the danger is we might omit important foods from our diet:

"Since the waste products that we are trying to discharge are acidic, the right kind of water is alkaline water…My personal recommendation is to enjoy the foods that we like, but do not over-eat or exclude any food. Eat in moderation following the professional dieticians' "balanced diet" concept, and let alkaline water do the job of cleansing acidic wastes."

The best and highest grade of Alkaline Ionized water for your acid/alkaline balance is Kangen Water produced from Enagic's SD501 unit.

Today we have an ocean of confusing information, articles in which  different
experts state many different reasons for illness. However, I  think that the
main reason for illness was stated very clearly in 1931!  Over 75 years ago,
Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel prize for his  discovery that cancer is
caused by weakened cell respiration due to lack  of oxygen at the cellular level.
According to Warburg, damaged cell  respiration causes fermentation, resulting
in low pH (acidity) at the  cellular level.
 
Dr. Warburg, in his Nobel Prize winning study, illustrated the  environment
of the cancer cell. A normal healthy cell undergoes an adverse  change when it
can no longer take in oxygen to convert glucose into  energy. In the absence
of oxygen, the cell reverts to a primal nutritional  program to nourish itself
by converting glucose through the process of  fermentation. The lactic acid
produced by fermentation lowers the cell pH  (acid/alkaline balance) and
destroys the ability of DNA and RNA to control  cell division. The cancer cells then
begin to multiply. The lactic acid  simultaneously causes severe local pain as
it destroys cell enzymes.  Cancer appears as a rapidly growing external cell
covering, with a core of  dead cells.
 
Dr. Otto Warburg finished one of his most famous speeches with the  following
statement: "…nobody today can say that one does not know what  cancer and its
prime cause is. On the contrary, there is no disease whose  prime cause is
better known, so that today ignorance is no longer an  excuse that one cannot do
more about prevention."[2]
 
Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize for showing that cancer thrives in  
anaerobic (without oxygen), or acidic, conditions. In other words, the  main cause for
cancer is acidity of the human body.
 
By the time I read his genius speech, he had been dead a long time. I  
wonder, if this discovery was so important that he received the Nobel  Prize, why
doesn't everyone know what pH is?
 
As soon as scientists discovered what healthy human blood pressure  and
temperature are supposed to be, devices were invented to measure them.  Whenever I
went to a doctor, my blood pressure and temperature were  measured, but I
don't ever remember a doctor measuring my pH. High blood  pressure and fever,
though not pleasant, do not cause cancer. The acidic  condition of the blood does.
It is not my opinion; it is what the  internationally renowned scientist Dr.
Warburg has proven. For this  statement he won the Nobel Prize. As the outcome
of the recognition of his  discovery, I think it is vital to make pH
information available at once to  everyone.
