Rogene, Patty - PH questions

[Guest guest]

I just read this off curezone.com and think I need to find out what

mine is. Maybe this is something all of us should do? It seems

that deviating from what is considered " normal " can cause all kinds

of problems and may undermine all our detoxing efforts? See below.

This may help Sherri.

Understanding pH Level and Why Many People Have Diseases and even

Cancer

Total healing of chronic illness ONLY takes place when and if the

blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.

pH: what does it mean? PH is the abbreviation for Potential Hydrogen

or the measurement of hydrogen-ion concentration of any solution.

The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the

fluid is. The lower the reading, the more acidic and oxygen deprived

the fluid is. The pH scale is from 0 to 14 with 7.0 being neutral.

Anything above 7.0 is alkaline; anything below 7.0 is acid.

To be considered healthy, human blood must maintain a narrow pH

range of 7.365. Any slight variation means symptoms and disease. If

blood pH drops below 6.8 or increases above 7.8, cells stop

functioning and the patient dies. Blood pH is difficult to test, but

home test kits are available to test urine and saliva pH. Optimum

urine and saliva pH is 7.0 to 7.4. Test you pH each morning before

food, drink or exercise.

If you have health problems, this is a sign that you are acidic.

When the body goes into extreme acidosis, the kidneys start

producing ammonia, which may cause the pH to test too alkaline. This

condition is frequently found in older people and is the cause of

the unpleasant odor in old folks homes. Treating for acidosis will

help the kidneys to stop producing ammonia.

In 1964, only 1 person in 214 contracted Cancer. Today it is 1 in 3

females and 1 in 2 males. The determining factor between health and

disease is pH. It is not uncommon for the average American to test

between 4 pH to 5 pH. Oxygen levels in the body are directly related

to pH. Increasing pH from 4 pH to 5 pH increases oxygen to the cells

by ten fold. From a 4 to a 6 increases oxygen by 100 times and

raising pH from 4 pH to 7 pH increases oxygen levels by 1,000 times.

Research shows that unless the body's pH level is slightly alkaline,

the body cannot heal itself. So, no matter what type of modality you

use to take care of your health problem, it won't be effective until

the pH level is up. All drugs, medications and toxic chemicals have

the effect of lowering the pH of the body. That is why there are

side effects to every drug and none of them effect a cure.

When body pH drops below 6.4, enzymes are deactivated, digestion

does not work properly; vitamins, minerals and food supplements

cannot effectively assimilate. Acid decreases energy production in

the cells, the ability to repair damaged cells, the ability to

detoxify heavy metals and makes the body more susceptible to fatigue

and illness. Your body pH affects everything.

Research has proven that disease cannot survive in an alkaline

state, however, viruses, bacteria, yeast, mold, fungus, Candida and

Cancer cells thrive in a low oxygen, / low pH environment.

An acid pH can result from an acid forming diet, emotional stress,

toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives

the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to

compensate for acid by using alkaline minerals, like sodium from the

stomach and calcium from the bones. This is the cause of

Osteoporosis and a number of other diseases. If there are not enough

minerals in the diet to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells

will occur, resulting in symptoms like pain, Arthritis,

Fibromyalgia, MS, Lupus, etc.

There are two factors that are ALWAYS present with Cancer no matter

what else may be present. Those two factors are Acid pH and Lack of

Oxygen. Can we manipulate those two factors that always have to be

present for Cancer to develop and by doing so will that help reverse

the Cancer? If so, we need to learn how to manipulate pH and Oxygen.

Remember that the pH number is an exponent number of 10; therefore,

a small difference in pH translates to a BIG difference in the

number of oxygen or OH-ions. In other words, blood with a pH value

of 7.45 contains 64.9% more oxygen than blood with a pH value of 7.3.

Cancer needs an acid / low oxygen environment to survive and

flourish. Terminal Cancer patients are about 1000 times more acidic

than they should be. This equates to dangerously low amounts of

oxygen at the cellular level.

In the absence of oxygen, glucose undergoes fermentation to lactic

acid. This causes the pH of the cell to drop even lower. Urine and

saliva pH of Terminal Cancer patients almost always runs between 4.0

and 5.5. When the cancer goes into metastases the pH drops even

lower. Our bodies simply cannot fight disease if our body pH is not

properly balanced. In other words, it's either alkalize or get

disease and die. It's that important!

How to test you pH level

To test your urine pH level… Dip a piece of Litmus Paper during the

first morning void. It is important to do this before eating,

drinking or exercise. Levels of pH will fluctuate throughout the

day. First morning pH is the most accurate. Urine pH is most closely

related to the health of the body systems. The urine reveals the

alkaline building (anabolic) and acid tearing down (catabolic)

cycles. Urine pH indicates the efforts via the kidneys, adrenals,

lungs and gonads to regulate pH through the buffer salts and

hormones.

Salivary pH test…

Spit in a spoon and dip a piece of Litmus Paper in the spoon. Litmus

paper has some chemicals that are better off not put into the mouth.

Saliva pH is more of a mirror of the emotions. Stress and emotional

upsets will dump acid into the system, dropping pH levels of both

saliva and urine. Urine pH and Saliva pH are quite often different

numbers on the scale.

Immediately after eating, saliva pH should rise to 7.8 or higher.

This is due to the enzymes released in your saliva. If this does not

occur, the body has alkaline mineral deficiencies (mostly Calcium,

Magnesium and Potassium)

Acidosis…

Extended time in an acid pH state can result in rheumatoid

arthritis, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis, high blood

pressure, most cancers and many more. If salivary pH stays too low,

the diet should focus on vegetables and mineral water. Fresh fruit

is okay only if it is vine ripened; not picked green and spray

ripened. Wash all fruits and vegetables with URI Soap to remove

pesticides and wax. Also avoid acid forming foods such as sodas,

wheat and flour products and red meat. Eat only small portions (2

oz) of fish or poultry.

Foods considered to be alkaline-forming and thus helpful to people

with consistently acid pH include: Almonds (soaked 12 hours), aloe

vera, apples, apricots, bee pollen, buckwheat, cabbage, cantaloupe,

celery, carrots, cucumbers, dates, dulse, poached eggs, figs,

grapefruit, lettuce (not iceberg), millet, parsley, raisins,

peaches, pineapple, sprouted seeds, spinach (raw only), turnip tops,

wakame miso soup, brown rice mineral water. All dark green leafy

vegetables are especially good.

People who remain too acid often display symptoms such as anxiety,

diarrhea, dilated pupils, fatigue, headaches, hyperactivity, hyper

sexuality, insomnia, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, restless legs,

shortness of breath, strong appetite, high blood pressure, dry hands

and feet.

Balancing the pH is a major step toward well-being and greater

health. Acidosis is an indicator of mineral deficiency. The URI Soap

and Neutralizer contain the most often missing alkalizing minerals,

Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium. The addition of Sodium can also be

helpful in raising the pH. To keep the electrolytes in balance, it

needs to be done in conjunction with the Neutralizer. Send me an

email for the details.
