pH levels ?
What should we be concerned about pH levels ?
It has been stated that, if the condition of our
extra cellular fluids, especially the blood, becomes
acidic, our physical condition will first manifest
tiredness, proneness to catching colds, etc. When
these fluids become more acidic, our condition then
manifests pains and suffering such as headaches,
chest pains, stomach aches, etc.
According to Keiichi Morishita in his Hidden Truth
of Cancer, if the Blood develops a more acidic
condition, then our body inevitably deposits these
excess acidic substances in some area of the body
such so that the blood will not be able to maintain
an alkaline condition which causes these areas such
as the cells to become acidic and lowers in oxygen.
As this tendency continues, such areas increase in
acidity and some cells die; then these dead cells
themselves turn into acids.
However, some other cells may adapt in that
environment. In other words, instead of dying - as
normal cells do in an acid environment - some cells
survive by becoming abnormal cells. These abnormal
cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do
not correspond with brain function or with our own
DNS memory code. Your body's pH level is a large
indicator of your alkalinity.
Why should we be concerned about pH levels? Since
most of the body is water-based (50-60%), the pH
level has profound effects on all body chemistry,
health and disease. All regulatory mechanisms
(including breathing, circulation, digestion,
hormonal production) serve the purpose of balancing
pH, by removing caustic metabolized acid residues
from body tissues without damaging living cells. If
the pH deviates too far to the acid side or too far
to the alkaline side, cells become poisoned by their
own toxic waste and die.
Just as acid rain can destroy a forest and alkaline
wastes can pollute a lake; an imbalanced pH corrodes
all body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles
of veins and arteries like corrosives eating into
marble. If left unchecked, an imbalanced pH will
interrupt all cellular activities and functions,
from the beating of your heart to the neural firing
of your brain. The body is largely made up of water,
a medium that is biologically useful in allowing
nutrients, oxygen and bio-chemicals to be
transported from place to place. This water-based
medium can have either acid or alkaline properties
that are measured by a graduated scale called pH
(for potential hydrogen), wherein 1.0 to 6.9 is
considered acidic, 7.0 is neutral and 7.1 to 14.0 is
alkaline.

Even the experts, who acknowledge that a neutral or
slightly alkaline pH is good, disagree on what this
means with regard to body fluids. For example, some
researchers consider a slightly acid urine pH to be
normal (healthy) because it might indicate that the
body is eliminating acids that are a natural product
of metabolism. Other experts maintain that the urine
should be close to neutral or slightly alkaline.
Acid/alkaline balance is extremely important to
normal physiology.
For example, the blood will maintain a slightly
alkaline range of 7.35 to 7.45. Extended pH
imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated by the
body. The management of the pH factor is so
important that the body's primary regulatory systems
(especially breathing, circulation and eliminations)
closely regulate acid-alkaline balance in every cell
and system of the organism. Some researchers believe
that high acidity can deplete bones because the body
has to steal alkalizing minerals (especially
calcium) from bones to keep the blood from dropping
into the acid range.
Thus acid/alkaline balance may be relevant to
diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.
Alkalinity can be increased by consuming less meat
and sweets and more vegetables and fruits. Although
eating fruit to increase alkalinity may seem to be a
contradiction because some fruits (especially
citrus) are acidic outside the body, digestion uses
up their acidic components, leaving an alkaline
residue (ash). Thus the net effect is
alkaline-producing in the system.
