Acid/Alkaline
The Cause of Disease

Have you ever wondered if many of the common diseases raging through our society have a common cause?

Acid Alkaline Imbalance

Over-acidity is a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, and is very common. An over-acidic body is an internal environment for disease.

Mild acidosis can cause such problems as:

  • cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen
  • weight gain, obesity and diabetes
  • bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones
  • immune deficiency
  • acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations
  • hormone concerns
  • premature aging
  • osteoporosis, weak brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs
  • joint pain, aching muscles, and lactic acid buildup
  • low energy and chronic fatigue
  • slow digestion and elimination
  • yeast/fungal overgrowth

A diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables is a major cause of acidosis. This causes the body to borrow calcium from the bones to protect the cells in order to balance the PH level thus leading to calcium deficient bone disease.

Urine testing may indicate how well your body is excreting acids and assimilating minerals, especially calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium. These minerals act as "buffers". Buffers are substances that help maintain and balance the body against the acidity.

There is a wonderful product called "Buffer PH" that, when taken everyday, balances out the acidity and puts more calcium back into the bones. PH testing strips are available and easy to use so that you can test your acid/alkaline levels and maintain optimum health.

If your diet mainly consists of acid forming foods such as bread, coffee, beef, chicken, seafood, rice, beer or wine, chocolate or pasta chances are you are too acidic. A diet rich in green foods can help bring you back into balance. Carrots, almonds, dates, avocado, coconut, cucumber, celery, broccoli and kale are great alkalizing foods. Wheatgrass juice is one of the best alkalizing whole foods. It contains all the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and digestive enzymes you need, and is 70% chlorophyll. Taken in high dosages wheatgrass has been known to reverse serious diseases.

One of the by-products of balancing your PH levels is weight loss. Fat adheres to cells to protect the body from a too acidic internal system. When you introduce alkaline into your diet and bring you PH into balance, weight loss is a natural by-product. An acidic body is usually overgrown with yeast and parasites, which in turn consume your nutrients. It is practically impossible for parasites to survive in an alkalized environment.

Introducing a good "Innerlight" Greens powder drink with PH alkalizing drops in your water is the best routine to adopt, as well as increasing your alkaline foods. So, think green and start a good detox program!

Far Infrared Sauna, IonCleanse and Parasite Zapper treatments are also wonderful ways to begin a Spring Cleanse.
