Your Acid/Alkaline Balance Can Be Corrected with the Water You Drink

22 02 2007

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.

Cancer and the Acidic Environment

12 02 2007

 
 
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.

pH-inding the Right Balance

9 01 2007

At the first mention of acidity and alkalinity, eyes glaze over. After all, these terms sound somewhat scientific, and vague memories of junior high science class and litmus paper changing color may come to mind. However, thebalance between acidity and alkalinity, and its importance, can be explained quite simply and should be explained. This balance is essential to good health.

pH Balance and Kidney Damage

4 01 2007

If you've read anything about diets lately, you've probably read warnings that excessive amounts of proteins or minerals may damage your kidneys. What you probably haven't read is that excessive amounts of acid waste in your body can cause
serious kidney damage too.

Kidneys are the body’s last-resort filtering mechanism. If the kidneys don't work properly, toxins build up and poison your blood. The results can be fatal. To keep your kidneys functioning well, you need to reduce the overall acid level in your body. The right type of foods and supplements can help. Because damaged kidney cells cannot be regenerated, there is no time to waste.

THE RISK

When acid enters the bloodstream as a result of improper digestion or excessive consumption of acid-causing substances, some of the acid is removed by the liver and converted into fat cells to be stored away from the body’s vital organs. However, when too much acid accumulates and the liver can't process all of it, the remaining acid is

pH Balance and Arthritis

4 01 2007

When your body accumulates an excessive amount of acid, you are at risk for arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. If you already suffer from one of these diseases, high acidity will intensify your inflammation, soft tissue degeneration and bone loss.

A highly acidic pH prevents the body from functioning properly. The presence of acid waste makes it increasingly difficult for cells to absorb the fuel they need. Vital body systems like the immune system start to malfunction. The result is increased inflammation and soft tissue degeneration. Acids are also solidified and deposited throughout the body, leading to bone loss.

The longer you wait to reduce your body’s acidity, the longer you remain at risk for arthritis and related illnesses.

THE RISK

Arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia are autoimmune diseases. They are the result of

pH Balance Information

3 01 2007

When the body is too acidic as a result of acid forming foods, high fat, mucus forming foods, and toxic food residues, disease and infections proliferate. This is especially true in cases of arthritis and rheumatic situations.

Most foods are alkaline by nature, but manufactured processed foods are acidic. It is important to balance each meal with 75% alkaline to 25% acidic to maintain health.Perfect body pH is 6.4, above is alkaline and below is acidic. It is important that your daily dietary intake of food naturally balances your body pH.
   
A Universal diet does not exist. People are individual and personal. So what works for one person may not work for the next. A balanced diet is unique for each person. To find balance, it is helpful to know not only your own personal needs, but the correct preparation of whole foods, how not to overeat, how to choose high-quality foods, avoiding too many unnatural food combinations, and the art of learning the broad range of nutritious foods including chlorophyll-rich plants, the best source of certain fatty acids, and the dangers of food chemicals like aspartame, MSG, and food colorings.
