Restore pH BalanceThe Acid - Alkaline Balance
I was sick for over 30 years with Chronic Fatigue and many, many other ailments and did not have a clue about the pH balance of the body or why it even mattered. On my journey climbing back to vibrant health and energy, I cleansed and detoxified, and cleansed and detoxified and cleansed and detoxified for well over a year, as well as shifted my food to more alkaline choices, and drank alkaline water, checking my pH all the way…!
The purpose of this article is to shed light on the importance of the body's pH in maintaining a
healthy body, and share some practical information that can result in a wonderful foundation for
restoring optimum health.
What is pH? How Can I Tell What My pH is?
Is My Body Acid or Alkaline? Does it Matter?
How Does My pH Affect My Health?
How Can I Lower Acidity, Neutralize, and Remove Acids from my Body?
What Does pH Mean? pH stands for potential hydrogen. It is the measurement of hydrogen-ion concentration. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14…..A reading of 7.0 or above is alkaline and below 7.0 is acidic. The higher a pH reading the more oxygen is in the fluid you are testing and the lower the pH reading indicates less oxygen and more acid. 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (ideal range) 7.5 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
How Would I Know if My Body is Acidic?
1) Testing your saliva and urine pH at home is easy and will give you an excellent place to start. Urine and saliva are good indicators of what is going on in your internal environment. You can test the pH of these fluids with Alkalive pH strips, which are super sensitive, accurate, easy to use and available on our shopping cart. They have 2 color indicators for a more accurate read.
A pH reading of 7.0 to 7.5 is optimum for the saliva and indicates a body in good health, which is what we are aiming for. Acids leave the body through the urine, so it should be slightly acidic. More specific details are covered in chapter 2 in the book The Acid-Alkaline Diet.
2) Secondly, what you eat and drink every day will give you a good indication, if you think your body might be acidic. How acidic or alkaline your body is, directly affects your health and is controlled by what you eat, drink and breathe. Most people eat processed, microwaved and/or fast food on a daily basis; and often coffee, sodas and alcohol. (Not to mention pharmaceuticals)
These toxic foods, drinks and substances are nutrient deficient, acidic and create a burden on the liver, kidney, heart, digestive tract and so on. A few of the commonly know toxins are found in:
** Mercury amalgam fillings, fish
** Before you become overwhelmed….Please know there is a lot of support available in products
that will help you get a good start in removing these acids and toxins and creating an alkaline
state in the body. I've walked this walk! ** (More about this below)
The Acid-Alkaline Diet is an excellent read
This book offers a detailed explanation of the acid-alkaline balance and how to correct it when it is out of balance. It covers….
* Cleansing, detoxifying and eliminating excess acids in the body
A word about CANCER ~ The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid you are testing will be. At a pH of 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH of 8.5 cancer cells die. 3) If you have had cancer, viruses, candida albicans…or lack energy, experience frequent colds, and fatigue these are all good signs of an acidic internal environment. When the body is acidic you may also have a tendency towards acid reflux, gastritis, ulcers, tendency to diarrhea, and/or constipation, skin problems, arthritis to name a few.
When I was diagnosed with pre-cancer of the liver, I was stunned. I learned that the liver stores toxins in the fat cells and deposits them in the organs all over the body. I had been eating organic food for nearly 20 years, however, since I was so acidic and toxic from the previous 20 years of junk food and pharmaceuticals, my body was unable to absorb the nutrients I was taking in over the years. This is where I began the journey of de-toxifying my body, which took nearly a 1.5 years….and it turned my health around.
When looking at cancer, normal, healthy cells are alkaline and cancer cells that are malignant are acidic. Many research projects, studies and publications have proven that cancer, candida and viruses cannot survive in an oxygenated, alkaline environment. Yes, cancer cells cannot survive in an oxygen rich alkaline environment. At a pH of 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at a pH of 8.5 cancer cells die.
The book Acid & Alkaline by Herman Aihara is an account of the acid and alkaline health condition and the effects on the human body. He wrote ~
This is cancer." How Do I Begin to Reverse an Acidic Internal Environment? It takes dis-ease and illness a long time to develop in the body. However, as the excess acids are removed the burden on the kidneys, liver and digestive system is reduced and then the body can begin to heal itself. This took me many, many months. We personally used many foods and products to detoxify our bodies, raise our pH and get
nutrients straight into the cells. We always suggest to everyone
to start wherever they are and change one thing at a time. Changing the water you drink to alkaline structured water and shifting your food choices to organic
green foods and alkalizing foods, is a huge step in the right direction towards restoring your pH
to optimum balance.
Alkaline Water - More Info
For those who are finding it a challenge to eat a more alkaline based diet, or who travel often and/or are in situations where Green Food choices are not very available, here is what we do:
We always carry with us 3 products:
These 3 products together are VERY VERY good for alkalinizing and removing acids from the cells. If you can use the pH Water Booster as well, this will increase the pH of your water 500 times.

item with them….Spirulina Pacifica would be it..!

Acid - Alkaline Food List 2) Begin to change the diet to alkaline foods. We also offer alkalive Green Alkalizing Formula (scroll down below) for a super alkalizing start...which can be taken in capsule form when away from home.
3) Detoxify the Body - The above 2 steps will help get the detox going. For additional support: Alkalive D-Tox is a proprietary formula created to aid in detoxifying the entire system, which helps with candida, yeast and fungus as well as mycotoxins, exotoxins and endotoxins. 4) Acidification is synonymous with mineral deficiency. When the body is acidic there are mineral deficiencies especially magnesium and then clacium. Magnesium is very, very important.

Terramin clay is also an excellent 100% natural detoxifier primarily eaten to keep
the body detoxified, raise the pH and continuously keep the digestive tract clean. Terramin has a
very strong ionic charge (pulling power). When ingested, toxins stick to the Terramin, holding
them in suspension until they leave the body through the elimination process. This helps
tremendously to keep the toxins from being re-absorbed. Terramin will bind to toxins as well as
heavy metals (mercury, aluminum, arsenic etc), bacteria, parasites and contains over 60 minerals
and trace elements. Terramins pH is 8.3.
Terramin is the 'red desert clay' of choice written about and researched at 5 universities i.e. UCLA, UC Davis, and Texas A&M. NASA used Terramin clay in their manned space program; and Discovery Channel and Animal Planet have offered shows regarding the value of eating calcium montmorillonite clay.
In updates to his book, Eric is Winning, Eric wrote about his journey with ALS and the
improvements to his health. He wrote about his success in finally achieving a pH above 7.0 with
the Terramin clay. 2lb jar = $34 (approx 2 months supply)

In conclusion, listen to your inner knowing, and allow that soft voice to guide you with where to start…i.e. alkaline water, food changes, supplements. Whatever pace you take to begin this process of detoxifying the body and restoring your pH will be good enough. This process has personally taken me many, many months before I began to feel good again. People who are less toxic than I was, seem to have quicker results.
