ACID AND ALKALINE BODY BALANCE

Illness occurs when our bodies are too toxic and therefore to acidic.

Understanding how to rebalance our internal chemistry holds a secret to success in healing; restoring the acid/alkaline pH balance is essential. The optimal pH for bodily fluids is slightly alkaline.  Acidosis is a condition in which body chemistry becomes imbalanced and overly acidic. Symptoms associated with acidosis include frequent sighing, insomnia, water retention, recessed eyes, rheumatoid arthritis, migraine headaches, dry hard stools, abnormally low blood pressure, difficulty swallowing, burning in the mouth and/or under the tongue, sensitivity of teeth to vinegar and acidic fruits, bumps on the tongue or the roof of the mouth, foul-smelling stools accompanied by a burning sensation in the anus, alternating constipation and diarrhea.

 

Cleansing is an essential dietary step in balancing pH.

Acidosis occurs when the body loses its alkaline reserve. Some causes of acidosis include kidney, liver, and adrenal disorders; improper diet; malnutrition; obesity; ketosis; anger; stress; fear; anorexia; toxemia; fever; and consumption of excessive amounts of niacin, vitamin C, or aspirin. Diabetics often suffer from acidosis. Stomach ulcers are often associated with this condition.

Excess blood acidity weakens the respiratory system, resulting in less breathing, less oxygen available to the cells. This leads to further fatigue.

 

Deep breathing and using the oils not only on the outside of the body but in supplements may assist in getting more oxygen into the system.  If you feel that you are forgetful, spacey, or constantly disorganized, it could be because an acidic condition causes a lack of mental clarity. A balanced body contributes to clear thinking and precise action.  When cells live too long in an acidic condition, they adapt to it by mutating and becoming malignant. Long-term acidic conditions in our bodies provide perfect environments for cancer and auto-immune diseases.

 

Most people with these fatal diseases also have candidacies, which results from the fluids being out of balance. Alkalosis is a condition in which the body is too alkaline. It is less common than acidosis and produces over-excitabihy of the nervous system.  The symptoms may be manifested as a highly nervous condition, including hyperventilation and even seizures. Other symptoms can include sore muscles, creaking joints, bursitis, drowsiness, protruding eyes, hypertension, hypothermia, edema, allergies, night cramps, asthma, chronic indigestion, night coughs, vomiting, too-rapid blood clotting and thick blood, menstrual problems, hard dry stools, prostitutes, and thickening of the skin, with burning, itching sensations. Alkalosis may cause calcium to build up in the body, as in bone or heel spurs.

Alkalosis is often the result of excessive intake of alkaline drugs, such as sodium bicarbonate for the treatment of gastritis or peptic ulcers. It can also result from excessive vomiting, high cholesterol, endocrine imbalance, poor diet, diarrhea and osteoarthritis.

Acidity and alkalinity are measured according to the pH scale. Water, with a pH of 7.0, is considered neutral. Any substance with a pH above 7.0 is alkaline, while anything with a pH below 7.0 is acid. The body should be slightly alkaline probable about 7.3 to 7.4.  Too much acidity allows yeast, viruses, rebeffious cancer cells, and other parasites to thrive. It also leads to chronic fatigue, AIDS, arthritis, and allergies.

 

If you have an acidic condition your body will try to return it to an alkaline state by calling on your stored reserves of alkaline minerals: sodium, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. If you continue eating foods that are highly acid-forming, you leach even more alkaline minerals from your body, creating a mineral deficiency that becomes severe over time.

If you've ever suspected that not everyone should eat the same thing or do the same exercise, you're right. Your blood type reflects your internal chemistry. It actually determines the way you absorb nutrients. What foods you absorb well and how your body handles stress differ with each blood type. In Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo book "Eat Right For Your Type" he shows how the four different blood types should be eating four different diets. This is a wonderful book to help you learn about the different blood types and their diets. Here is a brief outline to show some of the differences in blood types.

 

If your blood type is...

0 type: Eat meat (high protein, low carbohydrates). Cut out wheat and most other grains. Engage in vigorous aerobic exercise. Your risk factors for ulcers and inflammatory diseases such as arthritis increase if you eat incorrectly for your type.

If your blood type is A: You should be a vegetarian (high carbohydrate, low fat). Engage in gentle exercise such as yoga or golf Meditate to deal with stress. Your risk factors for cancer and hart disease increase if you eat incorrectly for your type.

If your blood type is B: You should have the most varied diet of all the blood types, one including meat; yours is the only blood type that does well with dairy products. Engage in exercise such as moderate swimming or walking. Your risk for slow-growing viruses that attack the nervous system increases if you eat incorrectly for your type.

If your blood type is AB: You have most of the benefits and intolerances of types A and B. Engage in calming exercises and relaxation techniques. You have the friendliest immune system of all the blood types.
