anything under 7 should be
avoided...You
can add an ionic calcium supplement
(1,000 mg minimally) to your water. This will
neutralize the acid in your water a bit but not
entirely...The
best unit I have found, which contains 32 years
of medical science history is the Kangen
Water unit. The unit is a Japanese
medical device that is in every hospital in
Japan and in 1 of every 4 households. This unit
is new to the United States and is a necessity
due to the current drought situations in
California and the government plodding to go
'toilet to tap'."

Medically, "sodium bicarbonate is used in an
aqueous solution as an
antacid taken orally to treat
acid indigestion and
heartburn.[8]
It may also be used in an oral form to treat chronic
forms of metabolic acidosis such as
chronic renal failure and
renal tubular acidosis. Sodium bicarbonate may also be
useful in urinary alkalinization for the treatment of
aspirin overdose and
uric acid renal stones."

Bentonite
http://www.utcluj.ro/download/doctorat/Rezumat_Silvia_Burca.pdf
"Natural zeolites and clay minerals (such as bentonite) have been
used frequently for retaining heavy metals from residual waters. For
example, clinoptilolite, which is the most frequent natural zeolite
(with deposits in Italy, Croatia, Turkey, Greece, Romania), has been
proven to be highly efficient in the process of retaining Zn2+, Fe2+,
Pb2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Cu2+, Cr3+, Cd2+ and Mn2+ ions"
helps to maintain
healthy electrolyte and PH balances.

Goji berry
"Dr. Victor A. Marcial-Vega is a Board-certified Oncologist; he trained at
John Hopkins Hospital, is a Professor at the University of Miami and
Washington Universities Schools of Medicine, and a Researcher and
Consultant in Nutritional Medicine.
He says that every disease in the human body, whether it is high blood
pressure, cancer (which is the disease he manages the most), diabetes,
schizophrenia, stress, or any type of physical discomfort, turns the body
acidic.
Acid in your body is like the acid on your car battery terminal. It
corrodes. It disintegrates. Whenever your immune system is low or if your
family history is plagued with heart disease, that may be where the acid
in your body targets.
He observed that the common threat in 100% of his patients is that they
are acidic when they aren’t healthy and they are alkaline when they are
healthy.
In order to sustain health, our bodies have to be kept at a constant
alkaline level. Your saliva alkaline test should read at a 7.4 pH. As an
example, it is believed that cancer cells do not survive in the higher pH
ranges. They die off....
Dr. Marcial-Vega found that the (pure) Himalayan Goji juice changed
the body from being acidic to alkaline within 24 hrs.

If lemon or apple cider vinegar in water drunk before meals helps with IBS
(irritable bowel syndrome including diverticulitis, Chron's celiac sprue,
gastritis, constipation, diarrhea, reflux, hiatal hernia), then whole leaf
aloe vera juice will also help even more. Add 2 tablespoons aloe
vera to water/beverage at meal time; then refrigerate aloe.
Substitute some water with aloe juice for a more nutritious gelatin/jello

Raw unrefined salt (such as gray Celtic sea salt containing 80
minerals/elements) can be a health benefit, whereas refined pure
food-grade salt is not only a dead salt but also deadly (possibly
containing cyanide, aluminum, ammonia, and dextrose).
May/June 2007
www.wellbeingjournal.com [If you like a finer salt, you
can buy unrefined salt in small grinders or perhaps grind your own in a
small coffee bean grinder. (Do not use for use same grinder
for both coffee beans and salt!) With a small funnel, one can
pour ground salt back into a salt shaker, etc.]
"In an acidic body, the pH is lowered, while in an alkaline body, the pH
is elevated...When the pH of the body becomes either too acidic or too
alkaline, normal physiologic functions decline. The organs of the
body (kidneys, liver, brain, etc.) do not function efficiently unless the
pH of the body is neutral (7.2). Enzymes, the catalysts for the body, are
very sensitive to pH changes. They will lose most of their function
when the pH is altered. Immune system cells are unable to protect us
when the pH is imbalanced....Refined foods (such as refined salt),
devitalized of all the healthy vitamins, minerals, and enzymes are
acidifying...Minerals are one of the most alkalinizing agents to the
body..Mineral deficiency is often associated with a lowered pH (<7.0)...It
is (often) impossible to overcome chronic illness when there is an acidic
condition present.
(One now might begin to appreciate why many opt for a pickle or swig of
vinegar at the end of each meal.) |

Ume plums (a type of apricots) raw, as umeboshi vinegar,
umeshu wine, or pickled are considered the king of alkaline foods.
Tales of Common Soldiers manual instructed soldiers to eat one ume
pickle a day.
Vinegar (such as raw unfiltered organic
apple cider with the mother), citrus fruits (such as lemons), and
citric acid powder contribute to the reduction of body acidity and the
reduction of fatigue.
Add fresh lemon to those water bottles!
Try a dill pickle or sauerkraut. Try a vinegar and oil salad
dressing. Lots of choices.
Drs Krebs and Lipman were awarded the 1953 Nobel prize for their
clarification of the Citric Acid Cycle and ATP energy.
Acid pH (below 7) is "losing" electrical protons.
Base/alkaline pH (above 7) is "receiving" electrical protons.
Although the goal is a 7.4 blood pH acid-base equilibrium, some
enzymes require an acid environment, while others require alkaline.

Young, Robert & Shelley The
PH Miracle - Balance Your Diet. Reclaim Your Health. Chapter 6
Food Combining recommends that each meal consist of MOSTLY
low-sugar/high water vegetables/fruits (70%) + a MINIMUM of protein (5%
animal or 7% vegetable), natural oils (20-30%), and sugar (0.5-3%),
using a 3 to 1 basis = 3 vegetables + 1 protein (or complex
carbohydrate). Protein digestion takes place in the stomach and
requires acidity, whereas starch/vegetable/fat digestion takes place in
small intestine and requires mild alkalinity. Before, between and after
(not during) meals indulge in water which has been alkalized with such
as a fresh lemon/lime [not green powders with algae, mushrooms or probiotics (fermentable bacteria)]. Authors contend that
poor/improper food combinations contribute to an excess of sticky mucus/phelm.
Authors also urge one to have 1 raw/live organic food with each meal.
Choose vegetables over fruit.
"Acids block the action of ptyalin, a component of saliva...necessary
for...starch digestion. (The result is that) Starches...layer
(vegetable) sugar on top of (fruit) sugar and (stomach) acid...The
combination (of eating an excess of processed starch with an excess of
animal proteins) creates enough poisons that it can actually shut down
the immune system for 5 hours...(A garnish of natural/healthy) oil (such
as olive oil salad dressing) slows digestion of starch."

"A quick note on pH in wines before we begin adjusting the must. In
wine, we typically see a pH
of between 3 – 4. For each wine there are multiple styles that can
be made, but as a standard whites have a higher acidity and thus a lower
pH – closer to 3.0. Red wines have a higher pH and thus a lower
acidity – closer to 4.0 (although typically closer to 3.5). The
closer a wine’s pH is to 4, the less stable the wine will be in the long
run. The closer a wine’s pH is to 3, the more stable it can be, but this
is not a certificate to add acid to protect he wine from microbial
problems. What we are attempting to achieve is balance." |

"Laughing or singing can break connections formed in our neuro

planet...Neurologists have identified a peptide called enkephalins...
known to act as a bonding agent in opiates...The body's cells are
designed to regenerate most effectively when the chemicals or amino
acids are alkaline...Sadness, anger, rage, jealousy, and depression
produce acidic chemicals...Consuming pharmaceutical drugs
weakens and eventually destroys the body's immune system. Over
time the body loses its ability to produce proper chemicals to protect
its organs...We can become addicted to the chemicals our body
creates...People who view themselves as victims will (may)...eventually
attract a real life situation, in order to produce the amino acid (brain
chemical which would help fix fear)...The more convinces we are of the
reality from our emotions, the more addicted we (may) become to the
feelings from our mind's pharmaceutical factory. Thus, our bodies
become the center for decisions instead of our mind. The mind is
the 'drug dealer' supplying the chemicals and memories to support our
