Acid Alkaline Imbalance

Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease.

A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids must be neutralized our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition. A pH balanced diet, according to many experts, is a vital key to health maintenance.

The concept of acid alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease is not new. In 1933 a New York doctor named William Howard Hay published a ground-breaking book, A New Health Era in which he maintains that all disease is caused by autotoxication (or "self-poisoning") due to acid accumulation in the body:

Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalies to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount... It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so.—William Howard Hay, M.D.

More recently, in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die (see recommended reading), Dr. Theodore A. Baroody says essentially the same thing:

The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause...too much tissue acid waste in the body!—Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., PhD. Understanding pH
pH (potential of hydrogen) is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14—the lower the pH the more acidic the solution, the higher the pH the more alkaline (or base) the solution. When a solution is neither acid nor alkaline it has a pH of 7 which is neutral.

Water is the most abundant compound in the human body, comprising 70% of the body. The body has an acid-alkaline (or acid-base) ratio called the pH which is a balance between positively charges ions (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions (alkaline-forming.) The body continually strives to balance pH. When this balance is compromised many problems can occur.

It is important to understand that we are not talking about stomach acid or the pH of the stomach. We are talking about the pH of the body's fluids and tissues which is an entirely different matter.

Beware even some Stevias have been altered!! Become a more avid label reader!!

All artificial sweeteners have been molecularly altered in some way. Splenda, Aspartame, Saccharin, etc have a molecular blueprint that the body no longer recognizes. So, what does the body do with these substances? Well, since the blueprint isn’t recognized by the body, there is no recognizable plan for elimination either!! Scary, but the body just has to store all the chemical constituents to protect the body from their leeching tendencies.

The body stores all this “junk” in our fat cells, and in the tissues of our organs and glands to try to hide them. The brain is SO susceptible to the harmful affects of these chemicals, that brain chemistry is altered. The Pituitary, Pineal, and Hypothalamus are in direct line to be damaged, or altered as a result.Guess what? If the diet industry can get us to ingest their newest “altered sugar” , they are getting us to voluntarily change our brain chemistry, and ultimately, stay or get fat and stay or get ill!

These substances are DANGEROUS and should be avoided at all cost! The natural alternative is Stevia. But, even now, companies are adding some molecularly altered sugars to Stevia!! So, beware! Read the ingredient labels to make sure that your Stevia product has no other altered sugars added.
