Life In The Blood
"If one alkalinizes a culture medium already containing fully developed bacterial or fungal forms by adding a little bacterial material or parts of fungal mycelia to a hanging drop of 5% sodium carbonate, which is a strongly alkaline medium with a high pH value, one can immediately observe the formation of the primitive stages, namely in the CHONDRIT STAGE."
Everything that bothers you will get somewhat better with pH correction. All the myriad systems in the body are very dependent on the maintenance of stable pH. Whatever therapeutic modalities you use in addition to pH correction, will work better. All forms of medicine are helped, work better if pH balance is restored first.
Pardon me but that's a little like saying that you'll feel better with a temperature of 37 degrees Celcius than you will with 40 degrees
wouldn't that depend on whether balence is 40 degrees vs 37 degrees?
The point I was making is that while you know that 37 degrees represents health and 40 degrees represents illness, there's nothing you can do directly to change your temperature, since its controlled by the body, in response to immune system reactions and the chemicals it releases when stimulated by 'foreign' antigens
direct vs indirect seems to be a relative distinction without any real meaning.
you can change your body's overall ph by cleansing, diet, and lifestyle changes. that's no secret, I did it myself.
Medical science can say anything they want to but that doesn't make it the truth, sometimes we have to use a little logic and personal observation to form an opinion and I think thats where you and I are coming from. If we lived in a perfect world with perfect food then I don't think we would have to worry about acid waste accumulation, like a new born baby our blood and intracellular spaces would stay clean and life would be free of degenerative diseases and prolonged. I have seen this acid waste with my own two eyes after doing the soaks and baths with the Miracle II soap and neutralizer, for about two or three months there was a very hard residue left on the bathtub and if you left it there for long it would take a brillo pad to remove it and it looked like the mineral residue left behind in my distiller. I can do an hour soak now and scrub with a stiff Lufa sponge without getting any of this. It's actually crazy to say we don't have to worry about acid, to me its like saying we can drink all the alcohol we want because the liver will eventually neutralize it, yes it will but what are the consequences? It's also very interesting that people in the last stages of cancer have a very acid urine ph and the blood looks like a junkyard and that most nursing homes smell like ammonia, the body's last ditch effort to akalize the blood. When you look at medical history it takes a long time for the experts to "discover" what has been known for a long time by people who are willing to buck the system and risk been blackballed for having an opinion that opposes the establishment, afterall the word quack came from allopathic doctors giving mercury for medicine. I can look around me and see the sickness, the dying and you have to ask yourself, is medical science doing a good job? I see young children being fed on junk foods and their little pot bellies and excess fat and their parents saying "they don't like vegetables", its a sin. I eat my collard greens and my urine ph reflects it, I eat junk it reflects it, you don't have to be genuis to see that good food produces good health and its reflected in the ph.
You know I agree with you... but apparently scientific genius interferes with basic common sense.
Firstly, it tells you that there's actually no such thing as overall body pH. The closest thing would be blood or plasma pH
Secondly it tells you that the body's buffering system, respiration and kidneys are responsible for controlling blood at pH 7.4 +- 0.05 regardless of diet or how many cleanses you perform.
Blood gases and pH are a major diagnostic tool. Acid-base status is commonly measured at hospital admission for many diseases, but it is extremely unusual to find acidosis or alkalosis of the blood or extracellular fluid in the early stages of any major disease other than renal failure.
Finally, no food is acidic or alkaline enough in a mixed diet to produce long-lasting changes in the body's acid-base balance.
I would be interested to know what type of measurements you made to support your conclusion that you changed your overall body pH
Let me chime in here if I may. The body always strives to keep the pH of all its tissues, blood etc. at the correct pH (homeostasis), but the imortant thing is just how hard a time it has in achieving this. A healthy body filled with correct diet and proper exercise effortlessly keeps the Ph where it should be. An unhealthy body with incorrect diet and bad lifestyle habits requires alot of stress and bodily strain to achieve it. Most every body keeps their pH within normal range, but just how effortlessly was this achieved is what matters.
Think about a lock in a river with a gate at each end. Controlling the height of the water within the lock is simply a matter of controlling the outflow vs. the rate of inflow. A liitle comes in , a little flows out. A lot flows in, a lot flows out. In terms of effort, there's no difference in conWhether effort is involved in maintaining the level.
frankly, you are spouting dogmatic non-sense. Anyone who has switched from an "acidic" diet to a more "alkaline" diet, and has adopted cleansing knows better. but thanks for the chuckle anyway.
Not the most compelling argument I've read and obviously not intended to promote meaningful discussion. Nevertheless...
If you go back to the University of Sydney website I posted on pH control, you'll notice that nature already 'knows' that some foods are acidic and others basic and built in several rather sophisticated mechanisms for preventing either food 'type' from disturbing the body's pH equilibrium. Even small changes in pH may inhibit or prevent key metabolic processes, due to its effect on enzymes, which are proteins in the body that trigger activity in cells or catalyze chemical reactions. Small changes in pH change the way that enzyme proteins 'fold' and may well inactivate the molecule.
On addmission to hospitals, literally millions of patients are screened for blood gases and pH. Acidosis and alkalosis are very rare conditions, indicative of certain renal and cardio-vascular diseases.
You make several claims about modifying your own pH balance. I'd be interested to know what you measured and how you related those measurements to your pH balance
You guys are having an academic argument about diet and its effect (or not) on the pH of the body. It's interesting to follow and I like learning about it ... however, the bottom line is that your diet has a huge effect on your health, your vitality, how you'll feel on a daily basis, how long you'll live, etc. I just ate a spectacular Thai meal this evening with all these delicious and healthy ingredients. If I keep eating meals like that, I just might live to 200.
There's no doubt at all that a healthy diet with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, limited fats, no hydogenated fats, sufficient essential fatty and amino acids and a minimum of toxins like Aspartame and pesticides contributes greatly to healthy. To be clear, the discussion isn't about the benefits or otherwise of diet, but rather about the claim that one can manipulate the body's pH through diet. I think we all agree that a good healthy diet is beneficial.
Also, for completeness, I should also mention that gut dysbiosis, with excess yeast and gram negative bacilli can create an acidic millieu which disables many digestive enzymes, which in turn leads to mineral and vitamin deficiencies. In my experience, the only way to adjust gut pH is to find and rectify the cause of dysbiosis then kill off the yeast and repopulate the gut with the correct bacteria. In the case of dysbiosis, pH is a symptom and not a cause, but does contribute to sustaining the problem, since most healthy bacteria cannot thrive in the millieu created by the pathogens.
who could possibly take issue with Thai food... cheers.
