Acidity and Osteoporosis

OSTEOPOROSIS IS VERY CONFUSING for many people. Most people think they can
eliminate it by increasing their consumption of milk and dairy products. But in
the countries where the consumption of dairy products is very low the instances
of osteoporosis is very rare. Osteoporosis is an acidosis problem. As the body
becomes more acidic, to protect against the event of heart attack, stroke,
illness, or even cancer, the body attempts to remain healthy. So, it steals
calcium from the bones, teeth, and tissue. As bone mass becomes depleted, this
is what we call osteoporosis. As we saturate the body with calcium this brings
the alkaline pH up and drops the acid levels down.

One of the first warning signs of an acidic biological terrain is calcium
deposits. A little known fact is that there has never been a scientifically
proven association between calcium deposits in the body and nutritional calcium.
In fact quite the opposite is found in the results of testing calcium deposits
of the body. Calcium deposits come not from dietary calcium but from the
structural calcium of our bones and teeth!

So if calcium deposits are forming, we know our inner biological terrain is too
acidic. Our dietary intake of calcium is not keeping up with the calcium
buffering needed and we are actively pulling calcium from our bones and teeth.
It all works like a little train, from the bones to the fluids and cells, to the
blood. As our biological terrain becomes acidic, our pH level drops. When this
happens we start losing calcium out of the blood, the bones, and the tissues.
This is a safety mechanism. Now your biological terrain's oxygen level drops
leaving you tired and fatigued, allowing fungus, mold, parasites, bad bacteria,
and viral infections to flourish and gain a hold throughout the body. It is
interesting to note that you often won't have just some of these invaders. If
you have Candida you will likely have bad bacteria, fungus, and parasites
because they all flourish in the same terrain.
