You may be imbibing in alcohol without drinking.....

I have something I'd like to personally share with others that might be
of some help. This has changed my life and health. I have HCV and have
had poor digestion as well as muscle wasting and a haital hernia.
Through my search, I made an interesting discovery......

I discovered we are imbibing alcohol without knowing it. I will have to
do a little explaining about how important balancing the body's pH is
before I get to how we are making alcohol and damaging our livers
further. (There is a pH forum on this site)

I've read that having an alkaline system fends off diseases, but didn't know
much more than that. I tried for years to get my body alkaline to no avail.
From wheat grass to expensive green powders, minerals, you name it,
I tried it. I finally gave up until I read a book and found the most simple
solution that did the trick.

Know what it was? WATER. Our water was acidic, and as you know, we're
70% water, so it stands to reason acid water will make you acidic.
(you can purchase simple pH tests strips at a drugstore)

By changing the pH of our water, withIn a few days I've become alkaline.
I'm doing the Candida cleanse and can't tell you how good it feels. I don't
know if you know this, but the microbiologist that wrote the pH book (mentioned
below), discovered that microforms and mycotoxins, ( bacterias, mold,
fungus & yeast & their waste products ), are the culprits.

Microforms ferment Sugar creating acid as a byproduct. Acid hampers
digestion, leeches minerals and vitamins and reduces muscle tone among
a myriad of other issues, including allergies.

He found microforms can change in seconds from being a bacteria to being a
fungus to being yeast back to bacteria again. It's like it is its own stem cell
producer and can alter itself to survive. This explains why these pathogens or
microforms are so difficult to get rid of.

Here comes the alcohol part. This is a 'heads up' for anyone with liver issues.

If you don't know how it works, I'll explain.... First, these microforms, , create
mycotoxins which poison the blood, which then goes to the liver to be
detoxified. That added stress distracts the liver from efficiently
metabolizing fat and sugar. This in turn stresses the thyroid and adrenal
glands & pancreas. Fungus and molds easily grow, hampering digestion.
The fungus in the body hampers absorpbtion up to 50% . The fungus growth
in the GI tract will weaken the tissue which can lead to a Haital Hernia.

Acetaldehyde is a mycotoxin that is created from the fermentation of
sugar by the microforms. The mycotoxin creates tiredness and chronic
fatigue because it reduces the absorpbtion of protein & minerals. It also vicious
destroys neurotransmitters and binds to the walls of red blood cells like
molecular glue, making them less flexible and less able to get into and
through capillaries leading to starvation and oxygen depravation in the tissues.

THEN, THE LIVER CONVERTS ACETALDEHYDE INTO ALCOHOL.
That process depletes the body of magnesium, sulphur, hydrogen and potassium,
thus reducing cell energy. (All high glycemic foods, wheat, yeast, vinegars,
any sugars except stevia, will turn into alcohol if the body is acidic)

The alcohol produced has untold negative effects. The less oxygen in the
body, the more alcohol is produced which can have devastating effects for
people with liver disease. Brain fog & dizziness, chronic illnesses are other
side effects. This is the vicious cycle.

Taking oxygen, minerals or supplements alone doesn't help. For the
oxygen, etc, to be absorbed, a body must first be alkaline & mold, fungus
or Candida free.

Microforms cannot grow in the presence of an alkaline, oxygenated body.

I suggest anyone having digestive problems to get Dr. Robert Young's
book, or a book of their choice on balancing pH. The information I've repeated
here was loosely taken from the book below.

Since following a pH anti-candida protocol, my haital hernia is gone and I
no longer have to take enzymes every time I eat. I have endless energy.
I feel better than I've ever felt. I am NOT saying this is an HCV cure, but
it can help give you the jump start you need to feel better and stay healthier.
