Signs Your Body is TOO ACIDIC...AND...the Health Consequences...
Signs Your Body is TOO ACIDIC...AND...the Health Consequences...
Knowing
and monitoring your urine pH (potential hydrogen) is vital to good
health. A pH level that is below the healthy range means your body is
not doing a good job of ridding your system of acid, therefore, creating
the perfect breeding ground for health-depleting microorganisms to
flourish like viruses, bacteria, yeast, fungus’ and, yes, cancer cells.The following are common symptoms that indicate your body is too acidic:
- Inability to lose excess weight – regardless of dieting or exercise. This occurs because excess waste product in the form of acid stay stored within the body. It is not being eliminated because the organs of detoxification/elimination – colon, kidneys, lymphatics and skin – are not able to do their job of eliminating toxins. Many of my fibromyalgia clients don’t realize until we consult that the excess acid is being pushed back into the fat tissues and causes the “invisible” pain they experience. In addition, the acidic pH retards weight loss because the acidity acts like a magnet and keeps toxins in fat cells.
- An acidic body will compensate by pulling minerals from your tissues and other organs. One of these minerals is calcium that is necessary for strength and bone health. A low urine pH causes weak bones as their supply of calcium is depleted; fractures occur easily, the reason patients with osteoporosis and osteopenia are asked to avoid acidic foods that deplete calcium (especially beef, caffeine and soft drinks).
- Your bones store calcium, the same as your teeth. A study in the Int’l Journal of Chemical Engineering showed low pH in the mouth caused demineralization of tooth enamel and cause mouth bacteria to escalate production of lactic acid that results in cavities. Also, an acidic mouth may cause sensitivity to foods and drink temperatures as well as gum disorders/diseases like recession that leads to periodontitis and gingivitis.
- An acid body allows hordes of microorganism to invade and multiply therefore triggering the immune responses and creating chronic fatigue – inhibiting your body’s ability to absorb essential nutrients. Poor nutrient absorption affects the body’s abilities to produce hormones and enzymes that produce energy.
- Your skin is the largest organ of absorption AND elimination AND one of the detoxifying organs. When the body is too acidic it becomes prone for bacteria and toxin overload. When this occurs it is usually a result of the liver not being able to eliminate the acidic toxic substances and the skin then compensates by flushing some of them out. When detoxification in this form occurs, it manifests as acne, clogged pores, allergies, rashes and eczema.
- Excessive mucus production is the body’s natural defense mechanism against acid buildup – its attempting to flush the body through nasal passages. If you are a victim of frequent mucus build-up, your body is overloaded with acid. Chronic mucus buildup, and the irritation it creates, often results in excessive coughing, clearing of throat, wheezing, sinus infections, breathing problems, chest pain and sinus headaches.
- An acidic body causes the muscles to constrict – further obstructing the oxygen-carrying blood capillaries running through the muscles and, therefore, causes strain and oxygen deprivation. In addition, it obstructs absorption of nutrients and vitamins from the blood that are necessary for proper function. When this occurs, the deprived muscles over-exert themselves to continue function, resulting in soreness and pain. If you experience muscle pain along with fatigue, without other natural causes like over-exertion, it’s a clear sign your body is overly acidic.
- Inability to get restorative sleep can also result from a low urine pH. If your body is needing sleep yet you struggle to get to, or stay, asleep you should check your pH. If your body is acidic and leaching calcium from your bones to neutralize it, it can lead to sleeplessness or un-restorative sleep.
- Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate – important to keep acids and all fluids moving and aid in their elimination via the digestive tract. Any efforts to achieve wellness or overcome an illness will fail if your body is not receiving adequate hydration. The rule of thumb is to drink half your weight in ounces (minimum daily). Therefore, if you weigh 150 lbs. you need a minimum of 75 ounces. Any drink that does not have forms of sugar or caffeine counts as water (Stevia and Lakanto can be used unlimited). I get tired of plain water so I make herbal teas (hot and iced) as well as fruit-infused waters.
- Begin your day with Dr. Gloria’s Hot Lemonade – Yes, lemon is an acidic fruit but the difference is it’s only acidic outside the body; when inside it transforms to alkaline and raises your urine pH level. For an educational flier on the health benefits of Hot Lemonade first thing in the morning, Download Nature's Lemonade
- Limit caffeine consumption – organic coffee is actually healthy but limit it to no more than two cups daily. If you love coffee, like I do, use organic water-processed decaf to satisfy that craving…and…it won’t disturb your sleep or cause that caffeine rush. For a brochure on conditions related to an acidic body Download TooAcidicRemedies.
- AVOID – alcohol, soft drinks, processed meats, processed foods and artificial sugars.
- Supplement your diet with calcium and magnesium – low pH starves your body of these minerals by leaching them out of your bones and tissues – see list of green leafy vegetables below, they are rich in calcium and magnesium as are organic dairy products. Mackerel and salmon are rich sources of calcium and magnesium, just watch the source for a healthy terrain in which they reside and AVOID any farm-raised fish.
- Consume plenty of green leafy vegetables and avoid the nightshades known to accelerate inflammation. The following are the most alkaline: Kale, broccoli, cucumber, spinach, arugula, collards, chard, lettuce, zucchini, celery and green asparagus (white asparagus is acid-producing). Better yet, juice the alkalizing veggies of your choice into a healthy, green juice and drink it with breakfast.
- Be sure to eat organic – genetically-modified food typically contains chemicals and other health-depleting additives.
NOTE: Be sure to buy those little pH urine testing strips and check your urine once a week first void of the morning and make a note of it for reference. The goal should be to have a consistent pH of about 7.3 – 7.5.

Recipe to help people suffering with Cancer
A
woman who remained anonymous that lived in Bosnia, wanted to share her
recipe to help people around the world that have suffered the ravages of
the horrid disease, cancer.
This recipe only includes two ingredients, ginger and honey, that is extremely easy to prepare. The Bosnian woman claims this recipe brought her back to life. She suffered from cancer of the endocrine glands and because of this she was connected to machines for 3 weeks. However, she managed to heal herself without chemotherapy or an operation, thanks to this medicine.
To prepare this recipe you will need 2 large roots of ginger. Clean the ginger and grind them into very small pieces.
Next, mix the ginger into around 6 cups of raw organic honey.
Put this mixture in an airtight container. Consume 4 tablespoons of this throughout a day everyday. Make sure you do not use a metal spoon. Use a plastic or wooden spoon only.
You should notice the improvements somewhere around after three days.

CONSTIPATION & BREAST CANCER SATURDAY EVENING POST ~ APRIL 1982
CONSTIPATION & BREAST CANCER
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Around the turn of the
century, doctors blamed all sorts of diseases on constipation.
It was
thought that a slow transit time through the intestines caused toxic
waste to
build up, enter the bloodstream and affect various organs of
the body. This theory was
laid to rest after researchers, using the
primitive techniques then available, had
failed to identify any toxic
substances in the blood of constipated sick people.
However, recent statistics
suggest that there may be something valid in this discarded
theory
after all. Physicians Nicholas L. Petrakis and Eileen B. King of the
University of California, writing in Lancet, have found that women who
have two
or fewer bowel movements per week have four times the risk of
breast disease
(benign or malignant) as women who have one or more
bowel movements per day
have less of a risk.
The doctors studied more than
5,000 women by employing nipple aspiration (a variation
on the use of
the breast pumps nursing mothers use) to get small samples of breast
fluid, which is normally secreted by these glands. The presence of
large numbers of
abnormal (dysplastic) cells helps to identify women
who are at a higher than average
future risk for breast diseases -
including breast cancer.
Dr. Petrakis reviewed the
history of past researchers who failed to identify constipation
as a
factor in the development of malignancies. As a matter of curiosity, he
chose to
include questions concerning bowel function in the research
protocols developed
for his studies of breast-fluid chemistry and
cytology.
To quote Dr. Petrakis, "We
found that 5% of women having one bowel movement
per day would have
abnormal dysplastic cells, while 10% of women having fewer
than one
bowel movement a day would have this abnormality and 20% of women
having two or fewer bowel movements per week would show these dysplastic
changes
in cell character of the breast fluid."
In his view, these findings
reactivate turn-of-the-century questions concerning an
association
between constipation and, in this particular instance, breast disease.
He added a concern that this supposition should not be allowed to
create a
cancer panic among constipated women.
Dr. Petrakis added that "We
found that 70% of the women we tested had
exogenous (foreign) chemicals
in the breast fluid. We don't know why they are there,
but we do know
that the breast cells are in contact with the bloodstream, which will
contain foreign substances absorbed into the circulation system from
the skin, lungs,
and the gastrointestinal tract."
Dr. Petrakis also cited
dietary consideration of interest to vegetarians, including
the
observation that the bowels of people who eat meat contain greater
amounts of mutagenic substance than do the bowels of those who abstain
from
eating meat. Also cited were observations that the intestinal
bacterial flora of
meat eaters includes certain species that interfere
with so-called glucuronide
linkages necessary to complete the
excretions of estrogen delivered to the gut in
bile. It is theorized by
some that such "unlinked" estrogen's are reabsorbed in
the large bowel
of meat eaters, a circumstance leading possible to higher estrogen
levels and a greater change of cancer-producing effects.
 WOMEN WHO HAVE TWO OR FEWER BOWEL MOVEMENTS PERWEEK HAVE FOUR TIMES THE RISK OF BREAST DISEASE ASWOMEN WHO HAVE ONE OR MORE BOWEL MOVEMENTS PER DAY. | ||||
