Miracles of an Alkalizing Diet

Miracles of an Alkalizing Diet


The human body is composed of various organs and parts, which are
made up of tissues and cells. These tissues and cells are composed
of 16 chemical elements.

The balance or equilibrium of these chemical elements in the body is
an essential factor in the maintenance of health and healing of disease.
The acid-alkaline balance plays a vital role in this balanced body
chemistry. All foods, after digestion and absorption leave either an
acid or alkaline ash in the body depending on their mineral
composition.


The normal body chemistry is approximately 20 per cent acid and 80
per cent alkaline. This is the acid-alkaline balance.

In normal health, the reaction of the blood is alkaline and that is
essential for our physical and mental well-being. The preponderence
of alkalis in the blood is due to the fact that the products of the
vital combustions taking place in the body are mostly acid in
character.
Carbohydrates and fats form about nine-tenths of the normal fuel of
the body.

IN normal health, this great mass of material is converted into
carbon dioxide gas and water. Half of the remaining one-tenth fuel
is also con- verted into the same gas and water.

This huge amount of acid is transported by the blood to the various
points of discharge, mainly the lungs.

By virtue of alkalinity, the blood is able to transport the acid
from the tissues to the discharge points.

Acidosis

Whenever the alkalinity of the blood is reduced, even slightly, its
ability to transport the carbon dioxide gets reduced. This results
in the accumulation of acid in the tissues.

This condition is known as acidosis or hypo-alkalinity of the blood.

Its symptoms are hunger, indigestion, burning sensation and pain in
the pharynx, nausea, vomiting, headache, various nervous disorders and
drowsiness.

Acidosis is the breeding ground for most diseases. Nepthritis or
Bright's disease, rheumatism, premature old age, arteriosclerosis,
high blood pressure, skin disorders and various degenerative
diseases are traceable to this condition.

It seriously interferes with the functions of the glands and organs
of the body. It also lowers the vitality of the system, thereby
increasing the danger of infectious diseases.

The main cause of acidosis or hypo-alkalinity of the blood is faulty
diet, in which too many acid forming foods have been consumed. In
the normal process of metabolism or converting the food into energy
by the body,. various acids are formed in the system and in
addition, other acids are introduced in food.

Whenever there is substantial increase in the formation of acids in
the system and these acids are not properly eliminated through the
lungs, the kidneys and the bowels , the alkalinity of the blood is
reduced, resulting in acidosis.

Other causes of acidosis are depletion of alkali reserve due to
diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera etc., accumulation of carbon dioxide
in asphyxia and anoxia as in circulatory and pulmonary diseases and
accumulation of acetone bodies resulting from starvation, vomiting
and diabetes millitus.

Acidosis can be prevented by maintaining a proper ratio between acid
and alkaline foods in the diet.

Certain foods leave alkaline ash and help in maintaining the
alkalinity of the food, while others leave highly acid ash and lower
the alkali reserve of the blood and tissue fluids to a very large
extent.



Cereals of all kinds, including all sorts of breads are also
acid-forming foods, though much less so than meat.

All fruits, with exceptions like plums and prunes and all green and
root vegetables are highly alkaline foods and help to alkalinize the
blood and other tissue fluids.

Thus , our daily diet should consist of four-fifth of alkaline-
forming foods such as juicy fruits, tubers, legumes, ripe fruits, leafy and
root vegetables and one fifty of acid-forming foods containing
concentrated proteins and starches such as meat, refined breads and
cereals.

Eating sensibly in this manner will ensure the necessary alkalinity
of the food which will keep the body in perfect health.

Whenever a person has acidosis, the higher the ratio of alkaline
forming foods in his diet, the quicker will be the recovery.

Acids are neutralised by alkalies.

It is, therefore, imperative that persons suffering from various
ailments are given adequate alkaline ash foods to offset the effects
of acid-forming foods and leave a safe margin of alkalinity.

The most agreeable and convenient means of alkalizing the blood are
citrus fruits and fruit juices.

The alkalizing value of citrus fruits are due to large percentage of
alkaline salts, mainly potash, which they contain.
Each pint of orange juice contains 12 grains of potassium, one of
the most potent of alkalis.

Lemon juice contains nine grains of the alkali to the pint and grape
seven grains.

Diet in Disease

In the diet during disease, breakfast may consist of fresh fruits,
lunch may comprise raw vegetables with acid and sub-acid fruits, and
for dinner raw and cooked vegetables, or light starchy vegetables
like beet, carrot, cauliflower, egg-plant and squashes may be taken.

Sweet fruits may be added to this diet after seven days.

Foods are classified as acid-producing or alkaline-producing
depending on their reaction on the urine.

Calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium present in foods contribute
to the alkaline effect, while sulphur, phosphorous and chlorine
contribute to the acidic effect.

Depending on the pre-dominating constituents in a particular food,
it is classified as acid-forming or alkaline-forming.

The effect of food stuffs upon the alkalinity of the blood depends
upon their residue which they leave behind after undergoing
oxidation in the body.

It is an error to presume that because a food tastes acid, it has an
acidic reaction in the blood.

For instance, fruits and vegetables have organic acids in
combination with soda and potash in the form of acid salts. When the
acids are burnt or utilised in the body, the alkaline soda or potash
is left behind.

Hence the effect of the natural fruit acids is to increase the
alkalinity of the blood rather than reduce it.
Based on the above observations, the following charts show the
common foods with acid and alkaline ash :

Hey Thanks for replying, I have to find the research document on the exact name of the bacteria that inhabits the gut in a acid condition, and post it, on one of two computers...

Our web site was just created yesterday, and it will be a health food type of site, with the most nutritious of products we have researched and our research included with the products, for a person to use, right now it is a free web site and not to many features, as we will need to pay for it and get a domain name to get fancy, since my wife and I have no source of income to speak of right now, for food ect... all we have is the info until Dec/Jan when we receive our pH product were having manufactured under strict conditions.
When I can switch my focus to having a product, and not just information, I will post the information on our web site.

Simply put for people to pH balance themselves is eat %70 vegetable/fruits and %30 acidic,meats,etc, leave out grains and cereals, try to buy your Vegetables in the area you live around and make sure the farmer mineralizes the soil and does crop rotations to make sure there are some nutrients in the soil.
I have posted a great deal of info in the different forums, check out the Multi vitamin Herbs posted in the Vegetarian forum.
Avoid eating foods with fungus,mold,bacteria,yeast, as in a acid condition it mutates to a more deadly form,as the body becomes more acidic the more deadly the strains becomes.

Rule of thumb, if it comes in a box or bag, it's not good for you.

Our formula is taken every 4 hours, and pH balances the body fast, one will not catch flu or have any of the fungus, molds or bacteria or yeast get out of control.
To research it yourself, think of something everyone should have in there body, but does not because of a birth defect we all are born with, an enzyme that is defective, and what can you do about it, and what is the best, longest lasting way of getting it to stay in the body...
When our product is available, the information will be included most likely as a free download on our web site, as it incorporates the vast life style changes most will have to make in nutrition of there food and diet, what foods are blocking there vitamin mineral absorption of these, what are the most nutritious foods including list of vit/min in the foods, I am offering a ton of info, many printed documents, almost a book, as a mail order package, for those without computers to receive, our first ad appears in Vitality Magazine in the Dec/Jan issue.
Many Billions are spent on Drugs, Doctors, Health Foods and for the price we are asking, Optimum Health for life can be available for next to nothing.
Our formula puts most herbal/homeopathic remedies obsolete, not needed anymore, because you won't get sick. Scientifically Proven...

I just finished going to one of the highest hit health web sites, great info there, but want some detail, Oh no you have to buy the book...

I can post a thousand articles on pH balance, all great stuff, but can you see the big picture and put them together, hard to do without knowing you can't do it with commercial produced food, including today's grain feed animals.

If you have the time check out the Fulldisklosure Forums, in the health forum, the wife and I have been posting there for the last two years, everything about everything.
I've just started posting here, and since we have just moved to a different country, it takes some settling in time, and have already had my articles appear in the curezone email.

Looking forward to posting allot more helpful info I have on file here, but the wife's computer crashed, and she is using mine, with me on the old slow laptop, so most of my work is done at night...
