Simoncini è il medico di Roma radiato dall’Ordine parecchio tempo fa con varie accuse di malasanità conseguenti il suo uso terapeutico del bicarbonato di sodio per curare alcune forme di tumore.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Secondo gli studi e la lunga pratica clinica del dottor Simoncini, infatti, ci sarebbe una correlazione tra il terreno acido dell’organismo e l’instaurazione di colonie di funghi che porterebbe poi allo sviluppo del cancro, cancro che non è altro quindi che un’infezione fungina degenerata e inarrestabile. Ripristinando il corretto equilibrio basico e intervenendo con l’apporto di sostanze antiacide, quali appunto il bicarbonato, si ottiene un rallentamento del progredire canceroso e, se preso in tempo, anche la guarigione. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Su questa dinamica terapeutica alcuni mass media abituati a ridicolizzare i processi troppo semplici che non possono essere ricondotti all’alveo della pura scienza ipertecnologica si sono scatenati schernendo l’idea stessa di partenza e coloro che se ne sono fatti portavoce, senza nemmeno fare concessioni, come invece ha auspicato notoriamente A. Einstein, all’importanza nella scienza di saper sempre mettere in discussione ogni parvente verità scientifica.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Terapia antiacida in funzione antitumorale: le recenti ricerche “ufficialiâ€<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Qualche anno dopo la drammatica uscita dalla scena del dottor Simoncini ecco che apprendiamo da fonti autorevoli ed esenti da ogni “sospetto†che la terapia antiacida in funzione antitumorale è allo studio in vari centri di ricerca nel mondo e che Cancer Research e altre riviste scientifiche internazionali iniziano a parlarne e a considerare i possibili sviluppi di farmaci a base di molecole che ripristinano il corretto equilibrio acido-basico dell’organismo, e in particolare della zona colpita dal tumore, inibendo la sua crescita e arrestandola.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Il fiore della nuova terapia è sbocciato alla consapevolezza generale in occasione del primo simposio dell’International society for proton dynamics in cancer (Ispdc), tenutosi a Roma il 27 settembre 2010.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Gli illustratori di questa “scoperta†sono stati gli scienziati dell’Istituto superiore di sanità che stanno lavorando all’ipotesi di utilizzare gli antiacidi (bicarbonato compreso), e in particolare gli inibitori della pompa protonica solitamente adoperati per le ulcere gastriche, in funzione antitumorale al posto dei chemioterapici.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />In una intervista rilasciata da Stefano Fais a Repubblica, il presidente Ispdc e membro del dipartimento del farmaco dell’Iss, afferma che «l’acidità è un meccanismo che il cancro usa per isolarsi da tutto il resto, farmaci compresi. Ma le cellule tumorali, per difendersi a loro volta da questo ambiente acido, fanno iperfunzionare le pompe protoniche che pompano protoni H+. Se si bloccano queste pompe, la cellula tumorale rimane disarmata di fronte all’acidità , e finisce per morire autodigerendosi». Ossia la “nuova†idea base di partenza è che i tumori sono acidi e che da lì occorre iniziare.<b><br /></b></div><div><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><br /></strong></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div>Pham Tuyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16930773015940163713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418855681583968321.post-8721089309993497302012-05-11T12:35:00.002-07:002012-05-12T10:36:14.476-07:00Questione di pH<br /><h1 style="color: #0b4167; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Rivista 40</h1><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></span><img alt="Rivista 40" class="left-img" src="http://www.scienzaeconoscenza.it//data/riviste/s/scienzaeconos40.jpg" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; float: left; font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Rivista 40" /><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"></div><div style="font-family: Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><em style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Scienza e Conoscenza</strong></em> giunge alla<span style="color: firebrick; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">quarantesima uscita</strong></span> e ci sembra proprio di averne fatta di strada dal primo numero apparso oltre dieci anni fa. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />Il quarantesimo numero lo festeggiamo con la messa on line del nuovissimo sito internet, rinnovato nella grafica, ma soprattutto nelle funzionalità e nei servizi destinati ai lettori e agli abbonati.<em style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Scienza e Conoscenza 40</strong></em> è dedicato al tema del <strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">ph</strong> ovvero alla questione<strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">dell'acidità dell'organismo</strong> come causa della genesi di molte malattie nel corpo umano: un paradigma interessante e sempre più condiviso all'interno del mondo scientifico che pare rispondere a molti quesiti biologici sinora rimasti irrisolti.

Antioxidants, like the ones found in grape seed, help protect blood vessels from metabolic acid damage. Acid damaged blood vessels can lead to higher blood pressure. In several animal studies, grape seed extract substantially reduced blood pressure.

The spleen sits under the rib cage in the upper left part of the abdomen. It is an organ that is part of the lymph system and works as a</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"> drainage network that defends the body against acid outfection.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />White blood cells from produced from red blood cells in the spleen engulf bacteria, dead tissue, and foreign matter, removing them from the blood as blood passes through it. The spleen also maintains healthy red and white blood cells. The spleen filters blood, removing abnormal blood cells from the bloodstream.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />A spleen is normally about the size of the fist. But acid causing dis-eases can cause it to swell and become many times its normal size. Because the spleen is involved in many functions, many conditions may affect it. </span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />An enlarged spleen is not always a sign of a problem. When a spleen becomes enlarged, though, it often means it has been doing its job but has become overactive. For example, sometimes the spleen is overactive in removing and recycling blood cells. This is called hypersplenism. It can happen for many reasons, including problems with too many platelets from cellular breakdown and other disorders of the blood.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />An enlarged spleen can be caused by acidic outfections including cirrhosis and other liver diseases, blood diseases characterized by abnormal blood cells, problems with the lymph system, or other conditions attributed to an unhealthy gut.</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />Here are some common causes of an enlarged spleen:<br />Outfections</span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;"><br />• Acidic outfections, such as mononucleosis<br />• Parasitic infections, such as toxoplasmosis<br />• Bacterial outfections, such as endocarditis (an infection of your heart's valves)<br />Cancer<br />• Leukemia, a cancerous condition in which white blood cells displace normal blood cells<br />• Lymphoma, a cancerous condition of lymph tissue, such as Hodgkin's disease<br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">Other causes of an enlarged spleen include:<br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">• Inflammatory diseases such as sarcoidosis and rheumatoid arthritis<br />• Trauma, such as an injury during contact sports<br />• Cancerous acidic condtion that has spread (metastasized) to the spleen<br />• A cyst, a noncancerous fluid-filled sac<br />• A large abscess, a pus-filled cavity usually caused by an acidic outfection<br />• Infiltrative dis-eases such as Gaucher's disease,amyloidosis, or glycogen storage diseases<br /></span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">Most people don't know they have an enlarged spleen because symptoms are rare.

The holy basil is also a herbal remedy for a lot of common ailments. Here're top fifteen medicinal uses of tulsi. 1. Healing Power: The tulsi plant has many medicinal properties. The leaves are a nerve tonic and also sharpen memory. They promote the removal of the catarrhal matter and phlegm from the bronchial tube. The leaves strengthen the stomach and induce copious perspiration. The seed of the plant are mucilaginous. 2. Fever & Common Cold: The leaves of basil are specific for many fevers. During the rainy season, when malaria and dengue fever are widely prevalent, tender leaves, boiled with tea, act as preventive against theses diseases. In case of acute fevers, a decoction of the leaves boiled with powdered cardamom in half a liter of water and mixed with sugar and milk brings down the temperature. The juice of tulsi leaves can be used to bring down fever. Extract of tulsi leaves in fresh water should be given every 2 to 3 hours. In between one can keep giving sips of cold water. In children, it is every effective in bringing down the temperature. 3. Coughs: Tulsi is an important constituent of many Ayurvedic cough syrups and expectorants. It helps to mobilize mucus in bronchitis and asthma. Chewing tulsi leaves relieves cold and flu. 4. Sore Throat: Water boiled with basil leaves can be taken as drink in case of sore throat. This water can also be used as a gargle. 5. Respiratory Disorder: The herb is useful in the treatment of respiratory system disorder. A decoction of the leaves, with honey and ginger is an effective remedy for bronchitis, asthma, influenza, cough and cold. A decoction of the leaves, cloves and common salt also gives immediate relief in case of influenza. They should be boiled in half a liter of water till only half the water is left and add then taken. 6. Kidney Stone: Basil has strengthening effect on the kidney. In case of renal stone the juice of basil leaves and honey, if taken regularly for 6 months it will expel them via the urinary tract. 7. Heart Disorder: Basil has a beneficial effect in cardiac disease and the weakness resulting from them. It reduces the level of blood cholesterol. 8. Children's Ailments: Common pediatric problems like cough cold, fever, diarrhea and vomiting respond favorably to the juice of basil leaves. If pustules of chicken pox delay their appearance, basil leaves taken with saffron will hasten them. 9. Stress: Basil leaves are regarded as an 'adaptogen' or anti-stress agent. Recent studies have shown that the leaves afford significant protection against stress. Even healthy persons can chew 12 leaves of basil, twice a day, to prevent stress. It purifies blood and helps prevent several common elements. 10. Mouth Infections: The leaves are quit effective for the ulcer and infections in the mouth. A few leaves chewed will cure these conditions. 11. Insect Bites: The herb is a prophylactic or preventive and curative for insect stings or bites. A teaspoonful of the juice of the leaves is taken and is repeated after a few hours. Fresh juice must also be applied to the affected parts. A paste of fresh roots is also effective in case of bites of insects and leeches. 12. Skin Disorders: Applied locally, basil juice is beneficial in the treatment of ringworm and other skin diseases. It has also been tried successfully by some naturopaths in the treatment of leucoderma. 13. Teeth Disorder: The herb is useful in teeth disorders. Its leaves, dried in the sun and powdered, can be used for brushing teeth. It can also be mixed with mustered oil to make a paste and used as toothpaste. This is very good for maintaining dental health, counteracting bad breath and for massaging the gums. It is also useful in pyorrhea and other teeth disorders. 14. Headaches: Basil makes a good medicine for headache. A decoction of the leaves can be given for this disorder. Pounded leaves mixed with sandalwood paste can also be applied on the forehead for getting relief from heat, headache, and for providing coolness in general. 15. Eye Disorders: Basil juice is an effective remedy for sore eyes and night-blindness, which is generally caused by deficiency of vitamin A. Two drops of black basil juice are put into the eyes daily at bedtime. DISCLAIMER: These are only general guidelines as a first aid.

Despite their varied palette, all are the same plant, known scientifically as Capsicum annuum. They are members of the nightshade family, which also includes potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant. Sweet peppers are plump, bell-shaped vegetables featuring either three or four lobes. Green and purple peppers have a slightly bitter flavor, while the red, orange and yellows are sweeter and almost fruity. Paprika can be prepared from red bell peppers (as well as from chili peppers). Bell peppers are not 'hot'. The primary substance that controls "hotness" in peppers is called capsaicin, and it's found in very small amounts in bell peppers. Although peppers are available throughout the year, they are most abundant and tasty during the summer and early fall months.<br /><br />What's New and Beneficial about Bell Peppers<br /><br />Bell pepper is not only an excellent source of carotenoids, but also a source of over 30 different members of the carotenoid nutrient family. A recent study from Spain took a close look vitamin C, vitamin E, and six of these carotenoids (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin) in all commonly eaten foods and found that only two vegetables contained at least two-thirds of all the listed nutrients. One of these foods was tomato, and the other was sweet bell pepper! Bell pepper alone provided 12% of the total zeaxanthin found in the participants' diets. (Bell pepper also provided 7% of the participants' total vitamin C intake.)<br />If you want to maximize the availability of vitamin C and carotenoids from bell pepper, allow this amazing vegetable to ripen. Recent studies have shown that the vitamin C content and the carotenoid content of bell pepper both increase with ripening. When the vitamin C and carotenoid content of bell peppers increases, so does their total antioxidant capacity, which can be a source of great health benefits. Growers can allow bell peppers to ripen on the plant prior to harvest (which means that you will be able to purchase them in the grocery store in a ripened state). Or, if harvested early in the ripening stage, bell peppers can still be allowed to ripen post-harvest and after you've purchased them and brought them home from the market. In one recent study, the vitamin C in not-fully-ripe bell peppers continued to increase during home storage over a period of about 10 days. It can, though, be difficult to tell whether a bell pepper is optimally ripe. Most--but not all--green bell peppers will turn red in color over time, but they may be optimally ripe before shifting over from green to red. A good rule of thumb is to judge less by their basic color and more by their color quality as well as overall texture and feel. Whether green, red, yellow, or orange, optimally ripe bell peppers will have deep, vivid colors, feel heavy for their size, and be firm enough to yield only slightly to pressure.<br /><br />Higher heat cooking can damage some of the delicate phytonutrients in bell peppers. In one recent study from Turkey, the effects of grilling on sweet green bell peppers were studied with respect to one particular phytonutrient--the flavonoid called luteolin. Prior to grilling, the bell peppers were found to contain about 46 milligrams/kilogram of this important antioxidant and anti-inflammatory flavonoid. After grilling for 7-8 minutes at a temperature of 150°C (302°F), about 40% of the luteolin was found to be destroyed. This loss of luteolin from higher heat cooking is one of the reasons I like cooking methods for bell peppers that use lower heat (118 degrees or less) for a very short period of time.<br /><br />Although we tend to think about cruciferous vegetables like broccoli or allium vegetables like onions and garlic as vegetables that are richest in sulfur-containing compounds, bell peppers can also be valuable sources of health-supportive sulfur compounds. Several recent studies have taken a close look at the presence of co-factors in bell peppers called cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyases and their role in a sulfur-containing metabolic pathway called the thiomethyl shunt. These co-factors and this pathway may be involved in some of the anti-cancer benefits that bell pepper has shown in some animal and lab studies. They may serve as the basis for some of the anti-cancer benefits shown by green, yellow, red and orange vegetable intake in recent studies, including a recent study on risk reduction for gastric cancer and esophageal cancer.<br /><br />Nutrients in<br />Bell Peppers<br />1.00 cup raw (92.00 grams)<br />Nutrient%Daily Value<br /><br />vitamin C 195.8%<br /><br />vitamin A 57.6%<br /><br />vitamin B6 13.5%<br /><br />folate 10.5%<br /><br />fiber 7.4%<br /><br />vitamin E 7.2%<br /><br />molybdenum 6.1%<br /><br />vitamin K 5.6%<br /><br />potassium 5.5%<br /><br />manganese 5%<br /><br />vitamin B2 4.7%<br /><br />vitamin B3 4.5%<br /><br />vitamin B1 3.3%<br /><br />tryptophan 3.1%<br /><br />vitamin B5 2.8%<br /><br />magnesium 2.7%<br /><br />Calories (28) 1%<br /><br />While bell peppers are a very popular vegetable, they have not always shared the health research spotlight with other members of the pepper family due to their very minimal content of the phytonutrient capsaicin, the well-researched pepper compound that gives hot peppers their "heat." Once active in the body, capsaicin can bind onto nerve cell receptors and change pain sensation, and it may also have important anti-cancer and blood-sugar balancing properties. However, the lack of "heat" or significant amounts of capsaicin in bell peppers does not mean that this vegetable should be denied the health research spotlight!<br /><br />The actual nutrient and phytonutrient content of bell peppers is impressive - and also somewhat surprising given the very low-fat nature of this vegetable (some nutrients and phtyonutrients are fat-soluble and hence for them to be present the food needs to contain some fat). There is far less than 1 gram of total fat in one cup of sliced bell pepper. However, this very small amount of fat is enough to provide a reliable storage spot for bell pepper's fat-soluble nutrients, including its fat-soluble carotenoids and vitamin E. Bell pepper is a very good source of vitamin E at about 1.45 milligrams per cup, and it contains more than 30 different carotenoids, including excellent amounts of beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. Both of these carotenoids provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory health benefits. Within this Health Benefits section, we'll focus on two areas of bell pepper research: research on the antioxidant benefits, and research on potential anti-cancer benefits.<br /><br />Antioxidant/Antiacid Benefits<br /><br />While research studies have tended to focus on carotenoids as the hallmark antioxidants or antiacids in bell pepper, this vegetable actually provides us with a very broad range of antioxidants or antiacids. In terms of conventional nutrients, bell pepper is an excellent source of vitamin C at 117 milligrams per cup. (That's more than twice the amount of vitamin C found in a typical orange.) Bell pepper is also a good source of another antioxidant or antiacid vitamin--vitamin E. In addition to these conventional antioxidant or antiacid vitamins, bell pepper is also a good source of the antioxidant or antiacid mineral manganese. The list of bell pepper phytonutrients is also impressive and includes:<br /><br />Flavonoids<br />luteolin<br />quercetin<br />hesperidin<br />Carotenoids<br />alpha-carotene<br />beta-carotene<br />cryptoxanthin<br />lutein<br />zeaxanthin<br /><br />Within this list of phytonutrient antioxidants or antiacids, it's understandable why carotenoids have been singled out for research attention. Among the five carotenoids listed above, bell pepper contains concentrated amounts of beta-carotene and zeaxanthin. (One cup of freshly sliced red bell pepper, for example, contains about 1,500 micrograms of beta-carotene, or the same as one third of a small carrot.) In a recent study from Spain, researchers took a close look at vitamin C, vitamin E, and six different carotenoids (alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin) found in all commonly eaten foods. Only two vegetables were determined to contain at least two-thirds of these nutrients. One of these foods was tomato, and the other was sweet bell pepper! In addition, bell pepper alone was determined to provide 12% of the total zeaxanthin found in the participants' diets! Bell pepper alone was also found to provide 7% of the participants' total vitamin C intake.<br /><br />This remarkable track record for bell peppers as an antioxidant or antiacid-rich food has yet to be translated into research on risk reduction for disease. We expect to see antioxidant benefits specifically from bell peppers showing up in a wide variety of human health studies, including studies on prevention of cardiovascular disease and prevention of type 2 diabetes. We also expect to see antioxidant or antiacid benefits showing up strongly in the area of eye health. Just one cup of sweet green bell pepper slices provides us with 314 micrograms (combined) of the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. These two particular carotenoids are found in high concentrations in the macula of the eye (the centermost part of the retina), and they are required for protection of the macula from oxygen-related damage. In one condition called age-related macular degeneration, or AMD, the macula of the eye can become damaged and vision can become lost. (In the U.S., AMD is the leading case of blindness in adults over the age of 60.) We suspect that future human studies will show risk reduction for AMD with routine intake of bell peppers due to their strong antioxidant or antiacid benefits (and in particular, their unique concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin).<br /><br />Potential Anti-Cancer Benefits<br /><br />As a food that is rich in antioxidant, antiacid and anti-inflammatory nutrients, bell pepper would be expected to provide us with important anti-cancer benefits. Exposure to chronic excessive inflammation and chronic unwanted oxidative stress can increase the risk of cancer development for most cancer types, and both of these factors can be partly offset by diet. (Regular intake of antioxidant or antiacid nutrients can lower the likelihood of chronic oxidative stress, and regular intake of anti-inflammatory nutrients can lower the likelihood of chronic excessive inflammation.) With a rich supply of phytonutrients that have antioxidant or antiacid and anti-inflammatory properties, bell peppers would be expected to help offset these factors and lower our risk of cancer development. Unfortunately, large-scale human research studies have not tried to isolate the impact of bell peppers on cancer risk. At best, they have usually grouped bell peppers among other vegetables and analyzed the anti-cancer benefits of vegetables as a group. Still, we very much expect to see future studies documenting the specific benefits of bell peppers for risk reduction of cancer. Based on preliminary studies on animals and in the lab, cancers of the digestive tract (including gastric cancer and esophageal cancer) may be areas in which bell peppers end up showing a special potential for support.<br /><br />Alongside of this antioxidant/antiacid/anti-inflammatory component of bell peppers' potential anti-cancer benefits is a second, less expected component. This second component involves the metabolism of sulfur compounds in bell pepper, and in particular the metabolism of the sulfur-containing amino acid cysteine. While bell pepper is not high in either protein or in the amino acid cysteine, it may be unusual in its metabolism of this amino acid. Several recent studies have taken a close look at the presence of enzymes in bell peppers called cysteine S-conjugate beta-lyases and their role in a sulfur-containing metabolic pathway called the thiomethyl shunt. These enzymes and this pathway may be involved in some of the anti-cancer benefits that bell pepper has shown in some preliminary animal and lab studies. They may serve as the basis for some of the anti-cancer benefits shown by green, yellow, red and orange vegetable intake in recent studies, including a recent study on risk reduction for gastric cancer and esophageal cancer.<br /><br />Description<br /><br />Bell peppers belong to the nightshade (Solanaceae) family of plants, along with chili pepper, cayenne pepper, eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes (except sweet potatoes and yams). Their scientific name is Capsicum annuum. This scientific name, however, is used to refer not only to bell peppers, but also to wax peppers, cayenne peppers, chili peppers, and jalapeno peppers.<br /><br />While we are most accustomed to seeing green bell peppers in the supermarket, these delicious vegetables actually come in a wide variety of colors, including yellow, orange, red, purple, brown and black. The green bell peppers you purchase in the food market may actually be immature, non-ripe versions of these other color varieties. Not all bell peppers start off green, however, nor do green bell peppers always mature into other basic colors.<br /><br />Paprika is a dried powdered form of bell pepper, and even though we are used to seeing red paprika in the spice section of the grocery, a paprika can be made from any color of bell pepper and it will end up being that same color once dried and ground into powder.<br /><br />Bell peppers can be eaten at any stage of development. However, recent research has shown that the vitamin C and carotenoid content of bell peppers tends to increase while the pepper is reaching its optimal ripeness. Bell peppers are also typically more flavorful when optimally ripe.<br /><br />History<br /><br />Bell peppers have been cultivated for more than 9000 years, with the earliest cultivation having taken place in South and Central America. While the name "pepper" was given to this food by European colonizers of North America who first came across it in the 1500-1600's and then transported it back to Europe, the original name for this food in Spanish was pimiento.<br /><br />Because bell peppers can be grown in a variety of climates and are popular in cuisines throughout the world, they can frequently be found on small farms in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and parts of Asia. In terms of commercial production, however, China has become by far the largest producer of bell peppers and produced 14 million metric tons in 2007. At about 2 million metric tons, Mexico is the second largest commercial producer, followed by the United States at approximately 1 million metric tons.<br /><br />Within the U.S., California and Florida are the largest bell pepper-producing states. (In terms of chili pepper production, however, New Mexico currently stands in first place.) . The average U.S. adult consumes about 16 pounds of peppers per year, including almost 9.5 pounds of bell peppers.<br /><br />How to Select and Store<br /><br />Choose peppers that have deep vivid colors, taut skin, and that are free of soft spots, blemishes and darkened areas. Their stems should be green and fresh looking. Peppers should be heavy for their size (reflecting their thick, well-formed and well-hydrated walls) and firm enough so that they will only yield slightly to a small amount of pressure. Avoid those that have signs of decay including injuries to the skin or water-soaked areas. The shape of the pepper does not generally affect the quality, although it may result in excessive waste or not be suitable to certain recipe preparations. Peppers are available throughout the year but are usually in greater abundance during the summer and early fall months.<br /><br />It can be difficult to tell whether a bell pepper is optimally ripe, but from a nutritional and health standpoint, it is definitely worth paying attention to the degree of ripeness in your bell peppers. You don't want them to be overly ripe to the point of getting too soft, wrinkly, or blemished. In fact, if bell peppers are optimally ripe at the time of purchase, they can lose up to 15% of their vitamin C content over the course of 10-day storage in the refrigerator and up to 25% of their vitamin C over 20-days of refrigerator storage time. However, if not optimally ripe at the time of purchase, the vitamin C and carotenoids in bell peppers will actually increase with refrigerator storage over the next 10 days. So as you can see, there is a delicate balance in terms of optimal ripeness! I encourage you not to worry about eating bell peppers that are not yet optimally ripe, because they can still provide you with outstanding health benefits. But for optimal vitamin C and carotenoid benefits, you may want to experiment a little and see if you can develop a skill for evaluating ripeness in this vegetable. Unfortunately, you cannot use basic color as your primary guideline. Most - but not all - green bell peppers will turn red in color over time, but they may be optimally ripe before shifting over from green to red. (There are also some varieties of bell peppers which never start out green.) A good rule of thumb is to judge not by the color itself but by the color quality and overall texture and feel. Whether green, red, yellow, or orange, optimally ripe bell peppers will have deep, vivid colors, will feel heavy for their size, and will be firm enough to yield only slightly to pressure.<br /><br />Unwashed sweet peppers stored in the vegetable compartment of the refrigerator will keep for approximately 7-10 days. . Because bell peppers need to still well hydrated and are very sensitive to moisture loss, we further recommend that you include a damp cloth or paper towel in the vegetable compartment to help the peppers retain their moisture. Do not cut out the bell pepper stem prior to storage in the refrigerator. Bell peppers are especially sensitive to moisture loss through this stem (calyx) portion and are more susceptible to chilling injury if the stem is removed. Sweet peppers can be frozen without first being blanched. It is better to freeze them whole since there will be less exposure to air which can degrade both their nutrient content and flavor.<br /><br />Although most people would not consider washing bell peppers under hot water, I want to be clear about the disadvantages of doing so. A recent study has shown that bell peppers retain more of their total antioxidant or antiacid capacity when washed under cold versus hot water.<br /><br />Finally, if you are going to consume your bell peppers within a day or two and suspect that they are not fully ripe, you may want to consider storing them without refrigeration. We've seen one recent study showing that room temperature storage of 20°C (68°F) can improve the availability of fat-soluble carotenoids in bell peppers that are not yet optimally ripe.<br /><br />Tips for Preparing and Cooking<br />Tips for Preparing Bell Peppers<br /><br />Before coring and/or cutting the pepper, wash it under cold running water. If the pepper has been waxed, you should also scrub it gently but thoroughly with a natural bristle brush.<br /><br />Use a paring knife to cut around the stem and then gently remove it. Peppers can be cut into various shapes and sizes. To easily chop, dice or cut the peppers into strips, first cut the pepper in half lengthwise, clean out the core and seeds, and then, after placing the skin side down on the cutting surface, cut into the desired size and shape. Peppers can also be cut horizontally into rings or left whole for stuffed peppers. The pulpy white inner cavity of the bell pepper is rich in flavonoids and can be eaten, even though some people have a personal preference for removing this section.<br /><br />The Healthiest Way of Cooking Bell Peppers<br /><br />Of all of the cooking methods we tried when cooking bell peppers, my favorite is Healthy Sauté. We think that it provides the greatest flavor and is also a method that allows for concentrated nutrient retention.<br /><br />To Healthy Sauté bell peppers, heat 3 TBS of broth (vegetable) or alkaline water in a stainless steel skillet. Once bubbles begin to form add sliced red bell peppers, cover, and Healthy Sauté for 3 minutes on medium heat. After 3 minutes add 2 TBS broth, then cook uncovered on low heat for another 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Transfer to a bowl and toss with our extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon.<br /><br />Nutritional Profile<br /><br />Bell peppers are an outstanding source of antioxidant/antiacid and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients. These phytonutrients include flavonoids (luteolin, quercetin, hesperidin) and hydroxycinnamic acids (especially ferulic and cinnamic acids). But the hallmark phytonutrient group found in bell peppers is the carotenoid family, with more than 30 different carotenoids being provided by this vegetable. Included in bell pepper carotenoids are alpha-carotene, beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein, and zeaxanthin. Bell peppers are an excellent source of antioxidants or antiacids vitamin A and nerve-supportive vitamin B6. Bell peppers are a very good source of heart-healthy fiber, vitamin E, folate, potassium, and vitamin K as well as the enzyme-supportive molybdenum. They are a good source of bone-building manganese and magnesium, energy-producing vitamins B1, B2, B3 and B5.<br /><br />References<br /><br />Agricultural Marketing Resource Center (AgMRC).

Young. Dr. Young further states, "other acids including carbonic and phosphuric acid also contribute to inflammation, atherosclerosis, acidic plaque, thrombosis, obesity, glucose intolerance, insulin resisitance, diabetes high blood pressure, heart disease and stroke." In sugar-sweetened sodas, the sugar load may lead to rapid increases in blood glucose and insulin which, over time, may lead to glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, and inflammation. These physiologic changes influence atherosclerosis, plaque stability and thrombosis – all of which are risk factors of ischemic stroke. This risk for stroke appears hy igher in women than in men.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The pH of soda drinks are highly acidic with a pH of less than 3 and an oxidative reduction potential of over +450mV.

Those who drank soda more frequently were also more likely to eat red meat and whole-fat dairy products. Men and women who consumed low-calorie soda had a higher incidence of chronic disease and a higher body mass index (BMI). The investigators controlled for these other factors in their analysis to determine the independent association of soda consumption on stroke risk.</div><div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">“According to research from the USDA, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption has increased dramatically in the United States over the past three decades, and it’s affecting our health,†said Dr. Bernstein. “These findings reiterate the importance of encouraging individuals to substitute alternate beverages for soda.â€</div><div>Dr. Young suggests, "drinking soda drinks compromises the alkaline design of the body setting the stage for sickness, dis-ease, disease and death. People are digging their graves with their own teeth when they ingest foods and beverages that are highly acidic/toxic to the blood and tissues. These acidic foods and beverages include, animal flesh, dairy products, alcohol. coffee, tea, soda drinks, sports drinks, high sugar fruit drinks, vinegar, and sugar in all of its forms both natural and artificial."</div></span></h1><h1 class="headline" style="font-size: 26px;

Its botanical name is Petiveria alliacea. In Jamaica, it has several names – guinea hen weed, guinea hen leaf, garlic weed or gully root.<br /><br />Anamu has a long history of use in all the countries where it grows. Herbalists and have traditionally used anamu for a wide variety of conditions including arthritis, digestive disorders, diabetes, cancer, pain relief and even to induce abortions.<br /><br />Over the past quarter of a century, however, modern scientific research has studied anamu intensively and many biologically active compounds have been discovered in the plant: flavanoids, triterpenes, steroids, and sulfur compounds. The research published on anamu now validates many of the historical uses of this herb.<br /><br />Interestingly, the researchers found that of the 20 compounds isolated from the plant – several of which had never been identified in nature before – some were similar to compounds found in garlic, a plant known to have medicinal properties.<br /><br />Anamu disorganizes cancer cells - Laboratory investigations show that anamu retards the growth of several strains of cancer and leukemia cells. In a plant screening programme performed at the University of Illinois at Chicago, more than 1,400 plant extracts were evaluated for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Anamu was one of only 34 plants identified with active properties specifically against cancerous conditions.<br /><br /><b>How does anamu work against a cancerous condition?</b><br /><br />Several phytochemicals in anamu like astilbin and dibenzyl trisulphide have been documented to directly disorganizes cancer cells. Research showed further that the compounds in anamu were able to differentiate between normal cells and cancer cells, transforming only the cancerous cells. In addition, other substances in the herb stimulate the body’s natural defences as described below.<br /><br />Anamu supports the immune system - Anamu has also been verified to have immuno-activation properties. It activates the immune system to increase its production of lymphocytes and natural killer cells – powerful disease-destroying cells. At the same time, it increases the production of interferon and interleukins – substances naturally produced by the immune system in dealing with dietary and metabolic acids that are at the root cause of ALL cancerous conditions and out-fections.<br /><br />Anamu buffers acids that cause out-fections - It demonstrates broad spectrum antimicrobial properties against numerous bacteria, fungi and yeast. Compounds in anamu directly disorganizes and/or inhibits the develpment or transformation of healthy cells into bacterial or fungal cells. Interestingly, many alternative medicine practitioners believe that so-called infection or better said, outfictions play a major role in many cancerous conditions. Anamu is widely used in folk medicine for buffering the acids that are the cause of all so-called infections.<br /><br />Anamu relieves pain by reducing dietary and/or metabolic acid - Its traditional use as a remedy for arthritis and rheumatism has been validated by clinical research that confirms its acid/pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effect. Researchers in Sweden demonstrated its COX-1 inhibitory properties (cyclooxogenase-1 inhibitors are a new class of popular and profitable arthritis drugs). Anamu extracts have been found to relieve acid/pain and inflammation even when applied topically to the skin.<br /><br />Anamu lowers the acids in the blood called glucose/sugar - While anamu has not been widely researched for diabetes, it had been documented to lower blood sugar acid levels by more than 60 per cent in laboratory animals. This reflects herbal medical practice in Cuba where anamu has been used as an aid for diabetes for many years.<br /><br /><b>Contradictions to anamu</b><br /><br />Anamu has been found to cause contractions of the uterus that can lead to abortions and miscarriages. As such, it should not be used by pregnant women.<br /><br />Anamu contains a low concentration of a blood thinner called coumadin. People with any bleeding disorder like hemophilia or who are on blood thinning medication should consult their health-care provider before using anamu.<br /><br /><b>Directions for use</b><br /><br />I recommend using organically grown anamu herb, free of insecticides, herbicides and other pollution.<br />One heaping tablespoonful of the whole powdered anamu plant is diffused in one litre of hot water. The resulting tea is drunk preferably on an empty stomach. An average dosage is four ounces (about half a cup) twice daily.<br /><br /><b>Reminder and warning</b><br /><br />Many persons are desperately looking for a quick fix – a magic bullet that will miraculously cure their acidic illness. The reality is that there is no quick fix. Like so many useful herbs, anamu will give best results when combined with optimal base nutrition, alkalizing nutritional supplements, exercise, acid detoxification, stress management and adequate restful sleep.<br /><br />It must be only a part of the pH Miracle healthy lifestyles and diet. It can also be used along with conventional medicines without disturbing their effects. If you have a serious medical condition, do not self medicate without the assistance and guidance of a qualified health practitioner.Pham Tuyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16930773015940163713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418855681583968321.post-17148461053062107142012-04-20T15:21:00.002-07:002012-05-12T10:36:12.215-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXtQV19zUf0fMeWgDGKECG5L_36Un64VX9VobVe-yLw6Xr4bTSFSEuhirsTa7j-caSzcp0B2mRzFrTZMKvGqo-egI9CthiPHbuNaHfBVwg_Wx_LNxJ1n1XTc6hJOG63mN606vTbiRj9ba1/s1600/The+pH+scale+of+parketes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXtQV19zUf0fMeWgDGKECG5L_36Un64VX9VobVe-yLw6Xr4bTSFSEuhirsTa7j-caSzcp0B2mRzFrTZMKvGqo-egI9CthiPHbuNaHfBVwg_Wx_LNxJ1n1XTc6hJOG63mN606vTbiRj9ba1/s320/The+pH+scale+of+parketes.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;">Dr. Young educates individuals, groups and communities to learn how to behave in a manner conducive to the promotion, maintenance, or restoration of health; how to acquire information and the skills needed to make quality health decisions i</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px;"><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline;">ncluding but not limited to: environmental, physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual health.<br /><br />Dr. Young will help you to understand the condition of someone’s health by using safe screening diagnostic methods such as Live Blood Analysis, Medical Diagnostic Ultrasound and Thermography to recognize and prevent degenerative diseases.<br /><br />Dr. Young believes that health is a state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and emotional well-being and that the body has the power to heal itself.

Ginger adds a special flavor and zest to stir fries and many fruit and vegetable dishes. Ginger’s benefits as a healing food are well known in Asia where it is frequently called “the universal medicine.†Ginger is regarded as an excellent “carminative†(a substance which promotes the elimination of intestinal gas) and “intestinal spasmolytic†(a substance which relaxes and soothes the intestinal tract).<br /><br />Ginger’s effectiveness as a buffer for stomach acid is due largely to its active phytonutrient ingredients: “gingerols†and “shogaols†which are responsible for ginger’s distinctive flavor. Ginger’s anti-vomiting/acid action has been shown to be very useful in reducing the nausea (due to the body's need for alkalinity in the form of sodium bicarbornate) and vomiting of pregnancy also the result of excess acids and the need for base. Japanese researchers believe the gingerols may be responsible for blocking the body’s reflex to vomit. Dr. Robert O. Young's research indicates that ginger buffers excess acid and thus blocks vomiting. Ginger’s phytonutrients help to neutralize stomach acids, enhance the secretion of aklaline juices (stimulating the appetite), and tone the muscles of the digestive tract.<br /><br />Both gingerols and shogaols have been shown to fight cancer as well. Scientific research has been shown that gingerols have antibacterial properties to inhibit the growth of “helicobacter pylori,†involved in the development of gastric and colon cancer and suppress the growth of human colorectal carcinomas. Lab experiments presented by Dr. Rebecca Lui (and colleagues from the University of Michigan) at the 97th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Cancer showed that gingerols kill ovarian cancer cells by inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) and phagocytosis (self-digestion).<br /><br />In a 2007 study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Dr. Chung-Yi Chen (and colleagues in the American Chemical Society) presented compelling evidence that ginger’s shogaols effectively induce apoptosis in cancer cells. A Rutgers University study later that same year supported the cancer-fighting properties of both shogaols and gingerols.<br /><br />Denmark researchers have discovered that ginger can block the effects of prostaglandins, which are substances that cause inflammation of the blood vessels in the brain and lead to migraines. When you feel a migraine coming on, take 1/3 teaspoon of fresh of powdered ginger to help stop the headache before it starts. In Chinese medicine, ginger tea with brown sugar is used in the treatment of menstrual cramps, while adding ginger to honey can wipe out food poisoning in a hurry.<br /><br />But that’s not all! Studies have shown that ginger contains anti-inflammatory properties that work much like the more common non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Ginger actually inhibits the action of several of the genes involved in the inflammation process, namely cytokines and chemokines.<br /><br />We love to blend up a couple of fresh ginger roots along with fresh lime or lemon juice, garlic, and ice for a nutritionally potent (and tasty) breakfast smoothie. When buying ginger, fresh is best! Be sure to avoid ginger with dry, wrinkled, skin, mold or soft spots.

When emitted by the sun or and infrared sauna, FIR penetrates through the skin to the subcutaneous tissues and is transformed from light energy into heat energy, bringing about many beneficial effects:</span></p><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Promotion of blood circulation and warming of the body, which helps relieve neuralgia (nerve pain), muscle aches and joint pain, as well as remedying cold hands and feet</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Revitalization of cells, which promotes wound healing and helps restore tissue damaged by inflammation</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Increased metabolism</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Relief from stress and fatigue</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Regulation of the nervous system</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Promotion of sound sleep</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Purification of bodily fluids and elimination of harmful toxins</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Strengthening of immune function</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Promotion of healthy growth and development in human beings and animals</span></li></ul><div><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">At its normal core temperature, the human body emits heat energy at a wavelength of 5-15 microns. A FIR energy wave of similar length is emitted when natural stone or clay is heated. Some studies have shown that FIR energy emitted from stone or clay can penetrate organic matter 80 times deeper than other heat waves.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The heat from FIR resonates with the body's own energy waves to warm the body, improve blood circulation, and boost metabolism. FIR energizes the body at the cellular level. For this reason, many hospitals and clinics around the world and at the pH Miracle Living center treat patients with medical devices that generate FIR. In addition to their positive effects on circulation and metabolism, far infrared rays also improve the function of the autonomic nervous and endocrine (hormone) systems, resulting in a better state of health.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">To learn more about FIR or to order your own home FIR sauna go to: </span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://phmiracleliving.com/p-194-ph-miracle-dry-heat-sauna-model-5000.aspx</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 85, 53); font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;"></span></span></p><div><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; margin-top: 1px; "><tbody><tr><td width="100%" align="left" valign="middle"><b><span class="ProductNameText" style=" color: rgb(51, 0, 102); text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; font-family:Verdana;"><br />pH Miracle Dry Heat Sauna Model 5000</span></b><br /></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">For hundreds of years, people have recognized the therapeutic benefits of the sauna.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">pH Miracle Dry Heat Saunas work with radiant energy, just like what you feel when you step into the sunlight on a cold day.

In its usual form it is not chemically available. It can't always be called upon to support every move we make because it is not always ready for chemical reaction.<br /><br />For any chemical reaction to occur there needs to be two molecules involved, and each of these molecules must have something to 'trade', in the form of compatible atoms that are either positively or negatively charged.<br /><br />Positively charged molecules (and the atoms within them) will easily and naturally unite with negatively charged molecules of equivalent and compatible charge.<br /><br />Put simply, all of your body functions rely on the electrical energy released from the unity of the 'charge' of the molecules in it and the opposite 'charge' in food water or air that enters it.<br /><br />So what is an ion?</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 570px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 570px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); line-height: normal; font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><table width="95%" cellspacing="5"><tbody><tr><td width="125" style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://www.kiflow.com/images/info/positiveion.gif" height="81" width="100" alt="positive ion" style="padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 5px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-top-width: 1px; border-right-width: 1px; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-left-width: 1px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-right-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-bottom-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); border-left-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); -webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976562) 1px 1px 5px; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; " /></span></td><td style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="subheading" style="color: rgb(204, 170, 102); font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Positive Ion:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> an atom (or molecule) that has lost one or more electrons due to a high-energy impact.

A positively charged ion will seek a negatively charged one to unite with, have a glorious 'coupling' and then turn into something totally new and available.<br /><br />So why do we rave on so much about negative ions?<br /><br />Because the result of every move you make (a net spending of electrical energy) is a positively charged body. The molecules in your body are left holding a positive charge. They are unavailable for future 'couplings' unless we get a new batch of attractive and giving negative ions in quickly.<br /><br />As we hear so often these days, things ain't what they used to be. The air is different. Putting it very frankly and unscientifically, it's full of crud or acid. Positively charged ions are crud or acid. Nothing ever 'goes away' on our little green planet and every exhaust, every chimney plume, every release of gas, stays within our thin and fragile ionosphere.<br /><br />It stays in the air we gulp as we run along the beach, it stays in the water we drink, and it stays in the food we eat. And all of this acidic pollution or positive ions are useless for energy production within the body.<br /><br />The air we breath in our garden, only 500 meters from the beach, contains only around 150 negative ions/cc/sec. but it also contains around 700 positive ions. This means that even as we lay on the beach doing absolutely nothing, our bodies are getting short-shifted by 2000 (required) plus 700 positive charged ions less 150 negative ions = 2550 ions/cc/second.</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 570px;

Inside typical Tokyo residences, positive ions were found to be 500 times more numerous than negative ions. These findings may be due to inadequate ventilation both in office buildings and energy - efficient houses, as well as from the use of electronic devices that generate electromagnetic fields and from building materials that emit formaldehyde and other toxic fumes. On the other hand, high negative ion levels, such as at waterfalls, hot springs and other highly moist areas, will neutralize positive ions, leading to very low positive ion levels.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">In any case, these measurements suggest that it is difficult to maintain sufficient levels of negative ions in the present age.</span></p></span></i></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Because the environment can no longer supply our basic negative ions, our bodies have to negatively ionize the air, water and food that enters our bodies just to get bare minimum negatively charged ions needed, and lying there in the sun, the body is working non-stop just to supply enough available electrical energy to the body just to get up off the sand and walk to the car!<br /><br />Did we always have to do this?<br /><br />No!<br /><br />We have managed to take our beautiful planet from a garden paradise to a techno-aicid-trash world in less than a century, and we have done one 'good' job.<br /><br />Where once clear air and spring or glacial water gave us all the negative charged ions we needed, today the same basics actually rob our bodies of energy.<br /><br />Like the idea of drinking pure alkaline rainwater?<br /><br />Don't .<br /><br />It robs you of negatively charged electrons from your body. It is also acidic, having combined with CO 2 and pollutants as it falls from the clouds, and so it only contributes to the acidic state of your body.</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" size="13px" style="width: 570px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />Want to go to the beach and reinvigorate on pure ocean air?<br /><br />That air just blew all the way from a Brazilian chemical factory and now it's your turn to breath it in.<br /><br />So we are suffocating in our air, drying up in our water, and toxifying as we eat our so-called clean supermarket food.<br /><br />In a radical state, radical action is required - and we are indeed in a radical state of personal bodily survival. We have lost the negative ions, the life electrical energy we need to even breathe freely.<br /><br />It's not hard to understand how we age the way we do. Suddenly we are old and we wonder how it happened. Yet it's been happening for years because every day our wonderful, amazing bodies have been slugging it out and losing the battle to keep aging at bay by maintaining its alkaline<br />design.<br /><br />Instead of performing daily housekeeping functions, it is flat out ionizing water, food and air to make it energetically available for energy storage.<br /><br />The Chinese adepts well knew the power of this negative charge ionization process. They<br />call the energy in the body chi, and they say it comes from the air, from water and from food.<br /><br />In his book, "The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity", author and longevity expert Daniel Reid says, 'Since there exists no equivalent term in English for 'Chi' or 'Prana', we shall refer to it as 'bionic' or 'bioelectric' energy.<br /><br />This combines the idea of living energy uniquely associated with living organisms (bio-) with that of electricity (-electric) and negatively charged ions (ionic).'<br /><br />In 1838, deHufeland wrote in The Art of Prolonging the Life of Man, ' A careful study of the phenomena of the vital force in the organized world leads us to recognize in it the following properties ands laws: the vital force is the most subtle, most penetrating, most invisible agent we have known until now in nature; in this respect it surpasses even light, electricity and magnetism, with which in other respects it seems to have the greatest analogy...<br /><br />We find a striking analogy between the vital force and magnetism. The life force can exist in a free and latent state, and in this respect has a close analogy to heat and electricity.'<br /><br />More recently, French Scientist Dr J. Belot said, 'When we consider organic life in the light of biophysics, we find that electrical phenomena are at the root of all cellular life and we conclude that the end of everything is an electrical charge.'<br /><br />In March 1968, 44 years ago, Le Monde reported that the presence of negative ions or ionization facilitates oxygen absorption, aids elimination of CO2 in the alveoli of the lungs, yet positive ions have precisely the opposite effect. Gases, dust, chemical fumes, acidic foods such as meat, dairy, high sugar fruit, grains, coffee, soda pop, tea, vinegar, alcohol, etc., all enter the body as positively charged ions, trapping the tiny negative charged ions in their large absorbent form, rendering your air technically 'dead'.<br /><br />When we read the work of Dr Otto Warburg, Nobel Scientist, we begin to understand the absolute importance not only of ionizing alkalizing oxygen, sodium, hydrogen and nitrogen, but the utter importance for our longevity of their entry into the body in a negatively charged form.<br /><br />We also begin to see the extent of the effect of common-use substances. A plastic seat will accelerate mental fatigue, as will plastic wall coverings. Objects covered in polyethylene produce fields of between 5 and 10,000 volts/meter.<br /><br />In a space enclosed by polyethylene the rate can skyrocket to 100,000 volts/meter . Certain synthetic clothes are strong enough to set up a field that repels all negatively charged ions in your immediate vicinity! Go stand on a mountain; it won't help much if you're wearing your favorite synthetic ski jacket or plastic synethic shoes!</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" size="13px" style="width: 570px;

Symptoms include headache, lack of energy, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, nausea, stomachache, breathing difficulty, vertigo (dizziness), poor concentration and mental performance, and sleep disturbance. When blood or urine samples from individuals reporting such symptoms are analyzed, extremely high levels of the stress hormone serotonin are detected. This hormone is known to be potentially harmful to the body at high levels, and it is thought that positive ions may work to increase serum serotonin. (Negative base ions, on the other hand, cause the body to convert excess serotonin into a harmless compound).</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Positive acidic ions or free radicals in the body, oxidizing cells throughout the entire system. They damage healthy cells and increase the acidity of the blood and tissues. When cells are oxidized, lactic and uric acid levels rise drastically, resulting in a variety of maladies, including cancer. The balance of the endocrine, immune, and autonomic nervous systems is thrown off, and blood and lymph circulation declines. As a result, aging processes accelerate, and premature aging or body fermentation occurs.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The following are human-made environmental factors that increase positive ion levels; each hazard is either new to the last century, or has magnified significantly during that time.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Human-Made Hazards that Increase Positive Ion Levels</span></b></p><ol><li style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Exhaust fumes - the major environmental cause</span></li><li style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Factory smoke</span></li><li style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">River pollution and acidic rain</span></li><li style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Dioxin produced from the burning of waste materials</span></li><li style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Pesticides and food additives</span></li><li style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Formaldehyde</span></li><li style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Phosphorus compounds used in everyday products</span></li><li style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.25em; margin-left: 0px; text-indent: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) over 3 mG, generated by X-rays, electric appliances, computers and other electronic devices, power lines, etc.</span></li></ol><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Negative Base Ions Neutralize Acids or Positive Charged Ions</span></b></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It is said that 2% of the oxygen we breathe turns into free radicals in our bodies. When these free radicals combine with free radicals produced by other sources (such as heavy metals, chemicals, bacteria, and positive ions or acids), they become even more harmful. Negatively charged ions work to prevent oxidation or fermentation of the blood and tissues by neutralizing the free radicals in our cells. As a result, cells are revitalized, and immunity and resistance are strengthened. Negatively charged ions also work to balance the autonomic nervous system and improve gastrointestinal function. They can relax the mind and body, promote deep sleep, increase metabolism, stabilize appetite and blood pressure, enhance recovery from physical exhaustion, and help one feel refreshed and invigorated. Negatively charged alkalizing ions are essential to overall health.

Below are some of the research results on the effects of negative ions.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">In 1975, Nanzandoh Medical Clinic in Japan published some astonishing results from their research on negative ion therapy, finding it effective in the treatment of high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, tinnitus (ringing of the ears), as well as for various disorders of the nervous, respiratory, and digestive systems, thyroid gland, and skin. It was also found to speed recovery from illness and slow aging processes.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">A clinic near Ueyamada Hot Spring in Shinshu, Japan, treated Alzheimer's patients with negative ion therapy, and more than half were cured of the disease, recovering on their own with no further treatment! Following this, a medical team at Shinshu University also found that negative ions work to heal damaged cells in mice.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Dr. Tomoh Tsubushi, a medical professor at Tokyo Metropolitan University and sports medicine specialist, has closely followed negative ion research. In 1997, he concluded from his own studies that when negative ion therapy was applied after exercise, it quickly normalized blood pressure, reduced serum serotonin levels, and accelerated recovery time from exhaustion. In 2000, his paper on the beneficial effects of negative ions on the human body was published in Shuki no Kenkyu, a Japanese scientific journal.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">According to research conducted by Shiseido, the world renowned Japanese cosmetics company, inhaling air containing 3,200 positive ions per cubic centimeter for 20 minutes resulted in thirst, loss of voice, and nasal congestion due to elevated serum serotonin levels. In contrast, inhaling negative ions for 10 minutes stabilized brain waves, resulting in a sense of calmness. In the group that inhaled negative ions, hardly any serotonin was detected in blood or urine samples. (Negative ions cause the body to convert excess serotonin - the antagonist for most of the problems - into a harmless chemical compound).</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Studies Conducted in the U.S. and Other Counties</span></b></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The following is excerpted from an article by Guy Cramer, entitled "Advanced Research on Atmospheric Ions and Respiratory Problems" </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">(Certified Medinex Website, Sept. 2, 1996,</span><a href="http://mypage.direct.ca/g/gcramer/asthma.html" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(119, 119, 136); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://mypage.direct.ca/g/gcramer/asthma.html</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">)</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">:</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"A doctor treating burn victims with negative ion generators found that those patients who also had respiratory problems - chronic bronchitis or asthma - all reported that negative ion therapy helped them breathe more easily. With these findings the doctor started research into the effects of ions on respiratory ills. This research was carried out at the Northeastern Hospital, at the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate Hospital, and the Frankford Hospital in Philadelphia. He found 63% of patients suffering from hay fever or bronchial asthma 'have experienced partial or total relief' because of negative ion therapy. One hospital doctor who worked on the project said later, 'They come in sneezing, eyes watering, nose itching, worn out from lack of sleep, so miserable they can hardly walk. Fifteen minutes in front of the negative ion machine and they feel so much better they don't even want to leave.'"</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"The U.S. experimenters Windsor and Becket gave sixteen volunteers overdoses of positive ions for just 20 minutes at a time and all of them developed dry throats, husky voices, headaches, and itchy or obstructed noses. Five of the volunteers were tested for total breathing capacity, and it was found that a positive ion overdose reduced that capacity by 30 percent. Exposed to negative ions for ten minutes, the volunteers' maximum breathing capacity was unaffected.

They found that 18 of 24 asthmatics; 13 of 17 bronchitis sufferers; 11 of 12 hay fever victims; and 6 of 10 people afflicted with nasal catarrh reported that negative ion generators had noticeably improved their condition.

They concluded that the children treated with negative ions were less prone to 'rebound attacks' (relapses). As to objectivity, the scientific report said that the tests 'demonstrated that the atmospheric ions have an effect on infants, especially those suffering from asthmatic bronchitis.' Less scientifically, they found that babies didn't cry as often and as loudly when they were breathing negative ions as they did in normal air.

The ionized nitrogen acts on your cellular communication system and dilates the blood vessels to maintain not only a strong nutrient transport system, but an efficient messaging service, allowing your body to reinstate real communication. You begin to know your own body again.<br /><br />The cost, when we look realistically at a future that statistically means ill health, cancer, heart disease and bodily degeneration, is incredibly small.

We receive our energy from the triune sources of air, food and water.<br /><br />Electrical energy doesn't just 'drop' out of the air, food or water that we ingest. In its usual form it is not chemically available. It can't always be called upon to support every move we make because it is not always ready for chemical reaction.<br /><br />For any chemical reaction to occur there needs to be two molecules involved, and each of these molecules must have something to 'trade', in the form of compatible atoms that are either positively or negatively charged.<br /><br />Positively charged molecules (and the atoms within them) will easily and naturally unite with negatively charged molecules of equivalent and compatible charge.<br /><br />Put simply, all of your body functions rely on the electrical energy released from the unity of the 'charge' of the molecules in it and the opposite 'charge' in food water or air that enters it.<br /><br />So what is an ion?</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" size="13px" style="width: 570px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" size="13px" style="width: 570px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(85, 85, 85); line-height: normal; font-family:Arial, sans-serif;"><table width="95%" cellspacing="5"><tbody><tr><td width="125" style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://www.kiflow.com/images/info/positiveion.gif" height="81" width="100" alt="positive ion" /></span></td><td style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="subheading" style=" color: rgb(204, 170, 102); font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Positive Ion:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> an atom (or molecule) that has lost one or more electrons due to a high-energy impact.

A positively charged ion will seek a negatively charged one to unite with, have a glorious 'coupling' and then turn into something totally new and available.<br /><br />So why do we rave on so much about negative ions?<br /><br />Because the result of every move you make (a net spending of electrical energy) is a positively charged body. The molecules in your body are left holding a positive charge. They are unavailable for future 'couplings' unless we get a new batch of attractive and giving negative ions in quickly.<br /><br />As we hear so often these days, things ain't what they used to be. The air is different. Putting it very frankly and unscientifically, it's full of crud or acid. Positively charged ions are crud or acid. Nothing ever 'goes away' on our little green planet and every exhaust, every chimney plume, every release of gas, stays within our thin and fragile ionosphere.<br /><br />It stays in the air we gulp as we run along the beach, it stays in the water we drink, and it stays in the food we eat. And all of this acidic pollution or positive ions are useless for energy production within the body.<br /><br />The air we breath in our garden, only 500 meters from the beach, contains only around 150 negative ions/cc/sec. but it also contains around 700 positive ions. This means that even as we lay on the beach doing absolutely nothing, our bodies are getting short-shifted by 2000 (required) plus 700 positive charged ions less 150 negative ions = 2550 ions/cc/second.</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 570px;

It is also acidic, having combined with CO 2 and pollutants as it falls from the clouds, and so it only contributes to the acidic state of your body.</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 570px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br />Want to go to the beach and reinvigorate on pure ocean air?<br /><br />That air just blew all the way from a Brazilian chemical factory and now it's your turn to breath it in.<br /><br />So we are suffocating in our air, drying up in our water, and toxifying as we eat our so-called clean supermarket food.<br /><br />In a radical state, radical action is required - and we are indeed in a radical state of personal bodily survival. We have lost the negative ions, the life electrical energy we need to even breathe freely.<br /><br />It's not hard to understand how we age the way we do. Suddenly we are old and we wonder how it happened. Yet it's been happening for years because every day our wonderful, amazing bodies have been slugging it out and losing the battle to keep aging at bay by maintaining its alkaline<br />design.<br /><br />Instead of performing daily housekeeping functions, it is flat out ionizing water, food and air to make it energetically available for energy storage.<br /><br />The Chinese adepts well knew the power of this negative charge ionization process. They<br />call the energy in the body chi, and they say it comes from the air, from water and from food.<br /><br />In his book, "The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity", author and longevity expert Daniel Reid says, 'Since there exists no equivalent term in English for 'Chi' or 'Prana', we shall refer to it as 'bionic' or 'bioelectric' energy.<br /><br />This combines the idea of living energy uniquely associated with living organisms (bio-) with that of electricity (-electric) and negatively charged ions (-ionic).'<br /><br />In 1838, deHufeland wrote in The Art of Prolonging the Life of Man, ' A careful study of the phenomena of the vital force in the organized world leads us to recognize in it the following properties ands laws: the vital force is the most subtle, most penetrating, most invisible agent we<br />have known until now in nature; in this respect it surpasses even light, electricity and magnetism, with which in other respects it seems to have the greatest analogy...<br /><br />We find a striking analogy between the vital force and magnetism. The life force can exist in a free and latent state, and in this respect has a close analogy to heat and electricity.'<br /><br />More recently, French Scientist Dr J. Belot said, 'When we consider organic life in the light of biophysics, we find that electrical phenomena are at the root of all cellular life and we conclude that the end of everything is an electrical charge.'<br /><br />In March 1968, 44 years ago, Le Monde reported that the presence of negative ions or ionization facilitates oxygen absorption, aids elimination of CO2 in the alveoli of the lungs, yet positive ions have precisely the opposite effect. Gases, dust, chemical fumes, acidic foods such as meat, dairy, high sugar fruit, grains, coffee, soda pop, tea, vinegar, alcohol, etc., all enter the body as positively charged ions, trapping the tiny negative charged ions in their large absorbent form, rendering your air technically 'dead'.<br /><br />When we read the work of Dr Otto Warburg, Nobel Scientist, we begin to understand the absolute importance not only of ionizing alkalizing oxygen, sodium, hydrogen and nitrogen, but the utter importance for our longevity of their entry into the body in a negatively charged form.<br /><br />We also begin to see the extent of the effect of common-use substances. A plastic seat will accelerate mental fatigue, as will plastic wall coverings. Objects covered in polyethylene produce fields of between 5 and 10,000 volts/meter.<br /><br />In a space enclosed by polyethylene the rate can skyrocket to 100,000 volts/meter . Certain synthetic clothes are strong enough to set up a field that repels all negatively charged ions in your immediate vicinity! Go stand on a mountain; it won't help much if you're wearing your favorite synthetic ski jacket or plastic synethic shoes!</span></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6629796139743376638" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 570px;

The ionized nitrogen acts on your cellular communication system and dilates the blood vessels to maintain not only a strong nutrient transport system, but an efficient messaging service, allowing your body to reinstate real<br />communication. You begin to know your own body again.<br /><br />The cost, when we look realistically at a future that statistically means ill health, cancer, heart disease and bodily degeneration, is incredibly small.

In addition to the negatively charged ions from the sun and mountain air which produces negative ions and may elevate your levels in our body, eating clean, healthy, alkaline-producing green foods can also increase your negative ion levels.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">What are Ions?</span></b></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Ancient peoples recognized that the air is "electric," so to speak, but it is thought that the formal study of ions did not begin until fairly recently. In 1899, two German scientists, Elster and Geitel, discovered that there are particles in the atmosphere that carry electricity. These particles were later named "air ions" by the British scientist Faraday. The word "ion" was taken from the Greek language, in which it means to "go" or "wander about."</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Ions are invisible particles, either molecules or atoms, which bear an electrical charge. Atoms, for instance, consist of an atomic nucleus that contains neutral neutrons and positively charged protons, as well as orbiting electrons that are negatively charged. When an atom is in a neutral condition, the number of protons (+) and electrons (-) is equal. When the number of protons and electrons is not the same, the particle becomes an ion that is either positively or negatively charged. </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Generally speaking, </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">positive ions are acidic and harmful to the human body</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">, while </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">negative ions are base and beneficial to the human body.</span></b></i></p><table width="95%" cellspacing="5"><tbody><tr><td width="125" style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><img src="http://www.kiflow.com/images/info/positiveion.gif" height="81" width="100" alt="positive ion" /></span></td><td style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="subheading" style=" color: rgb(204, 170, 102); font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Positive Ion:</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> an atom (or molecule) that has lost one or more electrons due to a high-energy impact.

Air pressure or heat, for instance, can cause electrons to escape from atoms and dissipate, increasing the number of positive acidic ions in the air.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">As mentioned above, the balance of negative and positive ions in the air is easily disturbed. A good example of this can be seen in the changes in ion levels associated with storm activity. Several hours before a thunderstorm, for instance, low atmospheric pressure causes the number of positive acidic ions in the air to increase dramatically, to levels that sometimes exceed 5000 ions per cm³. In contrast, during a storm, negative alkalizing ions increase to several thousand per cm³ while positive ions decrease, often to below 500 per cm³. (You can detect similarly high negative ion concentrations near waterfalls - see the chart below.)</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">In our daily lives, as well, we can directly experience the electricity of ions in the air in the form of static electricity - especially in winter, when the air is dry. Static electricity is caused by a high ratio of positive to negative ions because of a lack of moisture in the air.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The Ratio of Negative to Positive Ions is Crucial to Health</span></b></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The ratio of negative to positive ions is crucial, because negative base ions are able to neutralize the harmful effects of positive acidic ions. At the beginning of the 20th century, the ratio in the atmosphere was 1.2 negative ions for every positive ion. However, in recent years, the ratio has reversed and now there are 1.2 positive ions for every negative ion. This is due to environmental hazards such as air and water pollution, electromagnetic fields, and other factors.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Positive and negative ions also exist in our bodies, and the ratio of ions in the air we breathe influences the ratio in our bodies. Ions enter the body through the lungs (inhalation) as well as through the skin - especially through meridian (acupressure) points, which have weak electronic resistance. Then they travel through the blood plasma and lymphatic systems to cells throughout the body. Living at higher elevations, sun bathing, having an alkalizing colonic, a lymphatic massage, eating alkaline green food, drinking ionized water, taking ionized nutritional supplements will increase the number of negative base ions absorbed through the skin, lungs, and bowels.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif;

Inside typical Tokyo residences, positive ions were found to be 500 times more numerous than negative ions. These findings may be due to inadequate ventilation both in office buildings and energy - efficient houses, as well as from the use of electronic devices that generate electromagnetic fields and from building materials that emit formaldehyde and other toxic fumes. On the other hand, high negative ion levels, such as at waterfalls, hot springs and other highly moist areas, will neutralize positive ions, leading to very low positive ion levels.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif;

Symptoms include headache, lack of energy, fatigue, anxiety, irritability, nausea, stomachache, breathing difficulty, vertigo (dizziness), poor concentration and mental performance, and sleep disturbance. When blood or urine samples from individuals reporting such symptoms are analyzed, extremely high levels of the stress hormone serotonin are detected. This hormone is known to be potentially harmful to the body at high levels, and it is thought that positive ions may work to increase serum serotonin. (Negative base ions, on the other hand, cause the body to convert excess serotonin into a harmless compound).</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Positive acidic ions or free radicals in the body, oxidizing cells throughout the entire system. They damage healthy cells and increase the acidity of the blood and tissues. When cells are oxidized, lactic and uric acid levels rise drastically, resulting in a variety of maladies, including cancer. The balance of the endocrine, immune, and autonomic nervous systems is thrown off, and blood and lymph circulation declines. As a result, aging processes accelerate, and premature aging or body fermentation occurs.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The following are human-made environmental factors that increase positive ion levels; each hazard is either new to the last century, or has magnified significantly during that time.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Human-Made Hazards that Increase Positive Ion Levels</span></b></p><ol><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Exhaust fumes - the major environmental cause</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Factory smoke</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">River pollution and acidic rain</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Dioxin produced from the burning of waste materials</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Pesticides and food additives</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Formaldehyde</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Phosphorus compounds used in everyday products</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) over 3 mG, generated by X-rays, electric appliances, computers and other electronic devices, power lines, etc.</span></li></ol><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Negative Base Ions Neutralize Acids or Positive Charged Ions</span></b></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">It is said that 2% of the oxygen we breathe turns into free radicals in our bodies. When these free radicals combine with free radicals produced by other sources (such as heavy metals, chemicals, bacteria, and positive ions or acids), they become even more harmful. Negatively charged ions work to prevent oxidation or fermentation of the blood and tissues by neutralizing the free radicals in our cells. As a result, cells are revitalized, and immunity and resistance are strengthened. Negatively charged ions also work to balance the autonomic nervous system and improve gastrointestinal function. They can relax the mind and body, promote deep sleep, increase metabolism, stabilize appetite and blood pressure, enhance recovery from physical exhaustion, and help one feel refreshed and invigorated. Negatively charged alkalizing ions are essential to overall health.

Some doctors in Japan even treat their patients using a medical device that produces natural (not artificially produced) negative ions, with successful results.

In 1997, he concluded from his own studies that when negative ion therapy was applied after exercise, it quickly normalized blood pressure, reduced serum serotonin levels, and accelerated recovery time from exhaustion. In 2000, his paper on the beneficial effects of negative ions on the human body was published in Shuki no Kenkyu, a Japanese scientific journal.</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">According to research conducted by Shiseido, the world renowned Japanese cosmetics company, inhaling air containing 3,200 positive ions per cubic centimeter for 20 minutes resulted in thirst, loss of voice, and nasal congestion due to elevated serum serotonin levels. In contrast, inhaling negative ions for 10 minutes stabilized brain waves, resulting in a sense of calmness. In the group that inhaled negative ions, hardly any serotonin was detected in blood or urine samples. (Negative ions cause the body to convert excess serotonin - the antagonist for most of the problems - into a harmless chemical compound).</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Studies Conducted in the U.S. and Other Counties</span></b></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The following is excerpted from an article by Guy Cramer, entitled "Advanced Research on Atmospheric Ions and Respiratory Problems" </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">(Certified Medinex Website, Sept. 2, 1996,</span><a href="http://mypage.direct.ca/g/gcramer/asthma.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(119, 119, 136); text-decoration: underline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://mypage.direct.ca/g/gcramer/asthma.html</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">)</span></i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">:</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"A doctor treating burn victims with negative ion generators found that those patients who also had respiratory problems - chronic bronchitis or asthma - all reported that negative ion therapy helped them breathe more easily.

Fifteen minutes in front of the negative ion machine and they feel so much better they don't even want to leave.'"</span></p><p style="font: normal normal normal 9pt/normal Arial, sans-serif; color: rgb(85, 85, 85); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">"The U.S. experimenters Windsor and Becket gave sixteen volunteers overdoses of positive ions for just 20 minutes at a time and all of them developed dry throats, husky voices, headaches, and itchy or obstructed noses.

As to objectivity, the scientific report said that the tests 'demonstrated that the atmospheric ions have an effect on infants, especially those suffering from asthmatic bronchitis.' Less scientifically, they found that babies didn't cry as often and as loudly when they were breathing negative ions as they did in normal air.

Here's my story: I was a high carb raw vegan for a few months. These days this is the trend within the vegan community all over. There are many proponents of this diet within the vegan community, who all refer to the work of Dr. Doug Graham in his 80/10/10 book. There are two Australians who have become online "authorities" on the subject and are advising people to switch over to diets laden with high glycemic fruits and if people cant go raw completely, they are promoting high carb foods such as potatoes and pasta. Although they may have good intentions, I've found that this diet has had nearly life threatening effects on my body. I struggled with candida due to bad choices in the past when I didn't know any better about lifestyle and took antibiotics loosely prescribed by doctors. I was not adhering to a strict protocol as I ate socially, so although I switched to vegetarian/vegan a year or so ago, I still ate fruits and chocolates every so often, didn't get enough minerals and didn't drink pH balanced or alkaline water. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span jsid="text" class="commentBody"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span jsid="text" class="commentBody"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">According to Dr. Graham, it's not sugar that causes candida, he claims the culprit is fat as he says that fat in the blood prevents the blood from carrying and utilizing glucose. Well, when I followed this advice it worsened my candida symptoms - increased the blemishes all over my face and body, worsened my dizziness and blacking out. My urine became cloudy and even experienced some pain. I finally stopped believing the HCRV hype when one day I was jogging and realized I couldn't breathe! I was NOT out of breath as I am not out of shape - my lungs weren't allowing me to inhale enough oxygen! All that sugar from those bananas, dates, pineapples, durian, and various other fruits that I was consuming for breakfast and lunch (that HCRVs like Freelee, Durianrider, and the people at 30bananasaday.com, Frederic Patenaude, 80/10/10 promote) was feeding pathogens in my body and turning my blood acidic. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span jsid="text" class="commentBody"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span jsid="text" class="commentBody"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Although my body was slender and toned, my face was pockmarked and I felt like I was decaying inside and out! I checked myself into the ER two days in a row due to my breathing issues and I started to research what had went wrong. I remembered my older sister told me about the pH Miracle so I began to learn as much as I could and follow the diet. I am recovering every day and my breathing issues are definitely better than they were less then a month ago. So, sure a person can have a banana a day and it may not hurt. But I would say be careful of high sugar diets, INCLUDING fruitarianism. I am a very health conscious person and this experiment in fruitarianism and HCRV lifestyle harmed my health. And while some people may not show negative effects in the short term (like what I went through), it will be revealed over time just as the image above displays. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span jsid="text" class="commentBody"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span jsid="text" class="commentBody"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Here is a recent photo of the 58 year old Doug Graham: </span><a href="http://30bananasadaysucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Dr.-Doug-Graham-March-12-2012.jpg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://<wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block; "></span>30bananasadaysucks.com/<wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block; "></span>wp-content/uploads/2012/03/<wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block; "></span>Dr.-Doug-Graham-March-12-20<wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block; "></span>12.jpg</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">. </span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span jsid="text" class="commentBody"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 16px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"><span jsid="text" class="commentBody"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Also, you can Google a well known fruitarian named Anne Osborne.

But it is a high risk one especially for those who live with preexisting conditions. Given that there are very few personal accounts made public such as mine on this type of trendy "health" diet, I think that I can add another perspective for others. Thanks for reading!

Or they may go through their lives without major issues but this is not a majority of the population. We see the issues around us every day in many people. What bothers me is that people are "okay" or content with feeling less than optimal health. They're okay with their pains, acid reflux, low energy or the many other ailments there are and they mask them with prescription drugs. </span></span></div><div class="commentActions fsm fwn fcg" style=" font-weight: normal; padding-top: 2px; font-size:11px;color:gray;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="commentActions fsm fwn fcg" style=" font-weight: normal; padding-top: 2px; font-size:11px;color:gray;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Before I knew about the pH Miracle (www.phmiracle.com) and delved into my experiment with HCRV, my sister coached me for 3 months and now that I look at what she taught me, it was what a lot of what she learned from the pH Miracle book. In 3 months time early last year, I lost 35 lbs, cleared up all skin blemishes and got glowing skin, became athletic and won a title in a beauty pageant! I give myself credit for how far I went in such a short time due to alkalizing. In the past, I probably would be embarrassed to show people photos of myself when I was not healthy and obese/overweight but I think that more importantly, it can help and inspire others:</span></span></div><div class="commentActions fsm fwn fcg" style=" font-weight: normal; padding-top: 2px; font-size:11px;color:gray;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><a href="http://diarytiva.tumblr.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow nofollow" style="cursor: pointer; color: rgb(59, 89, 152); text-decoration: none; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">http://<wbr><span class="word_break" style="display: inline-block; "></span>diarytiva.tumblr.com/</span></a></span></div></span></div>Pham Tuyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16930773015940163713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418855681583968321.post-35510997051531619662012-04-14T17:52:00.002-07:002012-05-12T10:36:12.723-07:00The Illusion of the Germ Theory - Do Germs Cause Disease?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMwtneoTaPLSW_yyPAoVcFAhH3JRGnUN4ODq4vnLDl69ty017yy6Vo1_IeycWF3Ox2FI53-uMOukXHsXPfxMmNOBRiMj-3cOUD2vYxu8An9eis6fciFyaBcj_HeXdVWWlvJixuIFGnXf3c/s1600/Symplast+of+Yeast.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 313px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMwtneoTaPLSW_yyPAoVcFAhH3JRGnUN4ODq4vnLDl69ty017yy6Vo1_IeycWF3Ox2FI53-uMOukXHsXPfxMmNOBRiMj-3cOUD2vYxu8An9eis6fciFyaBcj_HeXdVWWlvJixuIFGnXf3c/s320/Symplast+of+Yeast.jpg" border="0" alt=" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5731424728677398818" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: 16px; font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2350816282111812136" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 570px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; ">The purpose of this article is to open your mind to the illusion of the germ theory that imprisons many us and to study the history of how this illusion was created.<br /><br />One must challenge everything in the modern construct of immunology and what is said to be the immune system. The basis of modern immunology is founded on Louis Pasteur, the fraud, impostor, deceiver and self promoter. There is a serious problem to where every word and part of the anatomy must be questioned to find their use and function because of the fraud of Louis Pasteur. (The micrograph is of live blood showing a symplast of bacteria and yeast -candida albicans)<br /><br />For example, the word influenza means influence. Originally, influenza was said to come from the stars or heavens. The Avian Influenza is an influenza of a bird influence. More specifically, it is an influence of bird waste. The bird consumption industry in Southeast Asia is overcrowded to the point that the chickens are consuming their own waste, producing an over-acidification of the birds and workers that must work in the acidic air and waste.<br /><br />It could be more accurately called Acidic Bird or Chicken Excrement Influenza that is only contagious to those consuming acidic birds, like chicken or breathing chemically altered air from chicken excrement. Because chickens do not have a urinary tract system, like humans and animals they are more likely to absorb their own acidic urine into their tissues. I guess you could say that's what makes chicken flesh or turkey flesh taste so juicy and why chicken or turkey flesh should never be consumed by humans!<br /><br />Here is a second example of Pasteurian scientific dogma. The word virus is originally Latin meaning poison, as in snake venom, (being too acidic). When a serious snake bite releases venom or acid into the skin and soft tissues, the small sweat vessels become so enlarged that red corpuscles can flow into the tiny seat glands, showing red skin patterns and allowing the venom or acids to escape through the skin. Acidity dissolves and enlarges blood vessels for the movement of acidic fluids or gases. Alkalinity constricts and normalizes the blood vessels.<br /><br />The point being that viruses are molecular liquids or gases (venom) that can be created by chemical imbalances in humans, plants and animals (by malnutrition or toxic acidic food and/or drink consumption), also created in humans, plants and animal glands, sometimes used in defense (snake venom) or emergency (overactive adrenals), also can be crystallized in laboratories, rarely, if ever crystallized in vivo, and foolish to call viruses contagious when viruses are nothing more than acidic liquids or gases from biological transformation or rotting matter.<br /><br />In snake bites, lifestyle choices and diets -- it is not the bite or food that kills it is the venom or acid from the bite or food that kills. Ultimately, it is in ones personal choice that gives life or takes life! Life and death is a consequence of choice!<br /><br />My final example is in defining the truth about antibodies and antigens. Antibodies are chemical clusters or alkaline buffers to a typical acidic condition properly referred to as antigens or enzymes. So called antibodies are released from healthy organ cells, such as the liver, in response to buffer and neutralize the acidity or liquid acid antigen that was first introduced. It must be noted that the word, antibody and antigen, are a Pasteurian dogma construct. The mind set being that an antibody or now even antibiotics, are defending or responding to bodies, microbes or invisible bodies or what I call phantom viruses, like Avian, SARS, or even HIV -- even though HIV is not a virus but an alkaline antibody to buffer acid or antigens. The chemical response is actually due to an introduction, vector or antigen of a chemical nature, typically acidic, not a body, microbe or bacteria or yeast.<br /><br />If bacteria, yeast, fungus or mold are transferred into another individual it must be made in a balanced liquid medium to support that fragile microbe or insignificant entity in order to survive. The main point here is that bacteria, yeast, fungus or mold do not cause sickness and disease (including cancer) as theorized by Pasteur and most recently suggested by Dr. Simoncini, an oncologist from Rome, Italy --- sickness and disease (including cancer and HIV) is a result of excess acidity or antigens that have not been properly buffered by antibodies or bases such as sodium bicarbonate. These fragile microforms or microbes are the expression of cellular transformation from once healthy human, plant or animal cells due to an over acidic environment. Sickness and disease can only be caused by an over acidification (abundance of antigens) of the fluids of the body due to our own personal lifestyle and dietary choices.<br /><br />As you contemplate the cause of the flu, cold or any so-called infection, may I suggest that each of us take personal responsibility for the consequences of our choices, rather than blame a phantom Avian Influenza virus, cold virus, flu virus, cancer virus or some non-existent HIV virus. If you get sick, it is your own fault and not the cause of some phantom virus that you can blame to cover your own lifestyle and dietary transgressions. Save your money and save your life by making alkalizing and energizing lifestyle and dietary choices. This is where true immunity is found -- not in a vaccine or a drug which are all acidic and poisonous to the body but in living an alkaline lifestyle.<br /><br />I love the words of Hippocrates when he said, 'Let your medicine be your food and your food be your medicine.'<br /><br />In closing, I quote Abraham Lincoln who said ' . . . but you can't fool all the people, all of the time.'<br /><br />Is it now time that we wake up from the fraud and deception of Louis Pasteur's medical science and break the chains that can prevent us from incredible outstanding good health, energy and a long a prosperous life free from all sickness and disease? Is it now time for us to be truly free in all ways -- physically, emotionally and spiritually?<br /><br />I believe with all my heart that the answers to all questions can be found and realized in understanding and choosing truth, light and life over deception, darkness and death. For the truth can and will always set us free, in all ways!<br /><br />In love, light and life,<br /><br />Dr. Robert O.

Alkaline ionized water (AIW) produced by this equipment is known to be effective against gastrointestinal fermentation, chronic diarrhea, indigestion and hyperchylia as well as for controlling gastric acid.*1 This is mainly based on efficacy of the official calcium hydroxide. *2 By giving AIW to rats for a comparatively long time under the condition of extremely high level of intestinal fermentation, we have demonstrated that AIW intake is effective for inhibition of intestinal fermentation when its level is high based on some test results where AIW worked against cecal hypertrophy and for reduction in the amount of short-chain fatty acid that is the main product of fermentation.*3 We have reported that this is caused by the synergy between calcium level generally contained in AIW (about 50ppm) and the value of pH, and that frequency of detecting some anaerobic bacteria tends to be higher in alkaline ionized water groups than the other, although the bacteria count in the intestine does not have significant difference.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Based on these results, we made a judgment that effect of taking AIW supports part of inhibition mechanism against abnormal intestinal fermentation, which is one of the claims of efficacy that have been attributed to alkaline ionized water electrolyzers. *4 On the other hand, under the dietary condition of low intestinal fermentation, AIW uptake does not seem to inhibit fermentation that leads us to believe that effect of AIW uptake is characteristic of hyper-fermentation state. Metabolites produced by intestinal fermentation include indole and skatole in addition to organic acids such as short-chain fatty acid and lactic acid as well as toxic metabolites such as ammonium, phenol and pcresol. We do not know how AIW uptake would affect the production of these materials.

AIW of pH 9 and 10 was produced by an electrolyzer Mineone ROYAL NDX3 1 OH by Omco Co., Ltd. This model produces AIW by electrolyzing water with calcium lactate added. On the last day of testing, the rats were dissected under Nembutal anesthesia to take blood from the heart by a heparin-treated syringe. As to their organs, the small intestines, cecum and colon plus rectum were taken out from each of them. The cecurn was weighed and cleaned with physiological saline after its contents were removed, and the tissue weight was measured after wiping out moisture. Part of cecal contents was measured its pH, and the rest was used to assay ammonium concentration. The amount of ammonium contained in fresh feces and cecal contents was measured by the Nessler method after collecting it in the extracted samples using Conway ‘s micro-diffusion container. Fecal free-glucose was assayed by the oxygen method after extraction by hot water. Analysis of free amino acids contained in cecal contents was conducted by the Waters PicoTag amino acid analysis system.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><strong color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Test results and analyses</span></strong></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">No difference was found in the rats’ weight gain, water and feed intake and feeding efficiency, nor was any particular distinction in appearance identified. The length of the small intestines and colon plus rectum tended to decline in AIW groups. PH value of cecal contents was higher and the amount of fecal free-glucose tended to be lower in AIW groups than the control group. Since there was no difference in fecal discharge itself, the amount of free-glucose discharged per day was at a low level. The amount of discharged free-glucose in feces is greater when intestinal fermentation is more intensive, which indicates that intestinal fermentation is more inhibited in AIW groups than the control group. Ammonium concentration in cecal contents tends to drop down in AIW groups (Fig. 1). This trend was most distinctive in case of fresh feces of one of AIW groups with pH 10 (Fig.2) AIW uptake was found to be inhibitory against ammonium production. In order to study dynamics of amino acids in large intestines, we examined free amino acids in the cecal contents to find out that cysteine level is low in AIW groups whereas isoleucine level is high in one of AIW groups with pH 10, although no significant difference was identified for other amino acids.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial;

The ideal scavenger for active oxygen should be ‘active hydrogen’. ‘Active hydrogen’ can be produced in reduced water near the cathode during electrolysis of water. Reduced water exhibits high pH, low dissolved oxygen (DO), extremely high dissolved molecular hydrogen (DH), and extremely negative redox potential (RP) values. Strongly electrolyzed-reduced water, as well as ascorbic acid, (+)-catechin and tannic acid, completely scavenged O.-2 produced by the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase (HX-XOD) system in sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0).</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of reduced water is stable at 4 degrees C for over a month and was not lost even after neutralization, repeated freezing and melting, deflation with sonication, vigorous mixing, boiling, repeated filtration, or closed autoclaving, but was lost by opened autoclaving or by closed autoclaving in the presence of tungsten trioxide which efficiently adsorbs active atomic hydrogen. Water bubbled with hydrogen gas exhibited low DO, extremely high DH and extremely low RP values, as does reduced water, but it has no SOD-like activity. These results suggest that the SOD-like activity of reduced water is not due to the dissolved molecular hydrogen but due to the dissolved atomic hydrogen (active hydrogen). Although SOD accumulated H2O2 when added to the HX-XOD system, reduced water decreased the amount of H2O2 produced by XOD. Reduced water, as well as catalase and ascorbic acid, could directly scavenge H2O2. Reduced water suppresses single-strand breakage of DNA b active oxygen species produced by the Cu(II)-catalyzed oxidation of ascorbic acid in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that reduced water can scavenge not only O2.- and H2O2, but also 1O2 and .OH.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial;

We also demonstrated that reduced water produced by electrolysis of 2 mM NaCl solutions did not show antioxidant effects by itself. We reasoned that the enhancement of antioxidant effects may be due to the increase of the ionic product of water as solvent. The ionic product of water (pKw) was estimated by measurements of pH and by a neutralization titration method. As an indicator of oxidative damage, Reactive Oxygen Species- (ROS) mediated DNA strand breaks were measured by the conversion of supercoiled phiX-174 RF I double-strand DNA to open and linear forms. Reduced water had a tendency to suppress single-strand breakage of DNA induced by reactive oxygen species produced by H2O2/Cu (II) and HQ/Cu (II) systems. The enhancement of superoxide anion radical dismutation activity can be explained by changes in the ionic product of water in the reduced water.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial;

however, the use of EO water against pathogens associated with poultry has not been explored. In this study, acidic EO water [EO-A; pH 2.6, chlorine (CL) 20 to 50 ppm, and oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of 1,150 mV], basic EO water (EO-B; pH 11.6, ORP of -795 mV), CL, ozonated water (OZ), acetic acid (AA), or trisodium phosphate (TSP) was applied to broiler carcasses inoculated with Salmonella Typhimurium (ST) and submerged (4 C, 45 min), spray-washed (85 psi, 25 C, 15 s), or subjected to multiple interventions (EO-B spray, immersed in EO-A; AA or TSP spray, immersed in CL). Remaining bacterial populations were determined and compared at Day 0 and 7 of aerobic, refrigerated storage. At Day 0, submersion in TSP and AA reduced ST 1.41 log10, whereas EO-A water reduced ST approximately 0.86 log10. After 7 d of storage, EO-A water, OZ, TSP, and AA reduced ST, with detection only after selective enrichment.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Spray-washing treatments with any of the compounds did not reduce ST at Day 0. After 7 d of storage, TSP, AA, and EO-A water reduced ST 2.17, 2.31, and 1.06 log10, respectively. ST was reduced 2.11 log10 immediately following the multiple interventions, 3.81 log10 after 7 d of storage. Although effective against ST, TSP and AA are costly and adversely affect the environment. This study demonstrates that EO water can reduce ST on poultry surfaces following extended refrigerated storage.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">PMID: 12412930 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]</span></p><hr color="initial" style="background-color: rgb(231, 231, 231); border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- clear: both; height: 1px; margin-bottom: 24px; "><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><a id="inactive_ecoli" name="inactive_ecoli" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "></a></span><strong color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Inactivation of Escherichia coli (O157:H7) and Listeria monocytogenes on plastic kitchen cutting boards by electrolyzed oxidizing water</span></strong></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Venkitanarayanan KS , Ezeike GO, Hung YC, Doyle MP.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Department of Animal Science, University of Connecticut , Storrs 06269 , USA .</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">One milliliter of culture containing a five-strain mixture of Escherichia coli O157:H7 (approximately 10(10) CFU) was inoculated on a 100-cm2 area marked on unscarred cutting boards.

However, immersion of cutting boards in deionized water decreased the pathogen count only by 1.0 to 1.5 log CFU/100 cm2. Treatment of cutting boards inoculated with Listeria monocytogenes in electrolyzed oxidizing water at selected temperature-time combinations (23 degrees C for 20 min, 35 degrees C for 10 min, and 45 degrees C for 10 min) substantially reduced the populations of L. monocytogenes in comparison to the counts recovered from the boards immersed in deionized water. E. coli O157:H7 and L. monocytogenes were not detected in electrolyzed oxidizing water after soaking treatment, whereas the pathogens survived in the deionized water used for soaking the cutting boards. This study revealed that immersion of kitchen cutting boards in electrolyzed oxidizing water could be used as an effective method for inactivating foodborne pathogens on smooth, plastic cutting boards.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial;

Ten of the most common opportunistic pathogens are used for this study. Cultures are inoculated in 4.5 mL of electrolyzed oxidizing (EO) water or 4.5 mL of sterile deionized water (control), and incubated for 0, 0.5, and 5 min at room temperature. At the exposure time of 30 s the EO water completely inactivates all of the bacterial strains, with the exception of vegetative cells and spores of bacilli which need 5 min to be killed. The results indicate that electrolyzed oxidizing water may be a useful disinfectant for hospital infections, but its clinical application has still to be evaluated.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial;

Hypochlorous acid (HOCl), also produced by electrolysis, was ineffective, suggesting that these types of electrolyzed water enhance wound healing by a mechanism unrelated to the well-known antibacterial action of HOCl. One possibility is that reactive oxygen species, shown to be electron spin resonance spectra present in anode chamber water, might trigger early wound healing through fibroblast migration and proliferation.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial;

Therefore, a flower-senescence hormone involving ethylene decomposition by EAW with potassium chloride as an electrolyte was investigated. Ethylene was added externally to EAW, and the reaction between ethylen and the available chlorine in EAW was examined. EAW had a low pH value (2.5), a high concentration of dissolved oxygen, and extremely high redox potential (19.2 mg/l and 1323 mV, respectively) when available chlorine was at a concentration of about 620 microns.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The addition of ethylene to EAW led to ethylene decomposition, and an equimolar amount of ethylene chlorohydrine with available chlorine was produced. The ethylene chlorohydrine production was greatly affected by the pH value (pH 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 were tested), and was faster in an acidic solution. Ethylene chlorohydrine was not produced after ethylene had been added to EAW at pH 2.6 when available chlorine was absent, but was produced after potassium hypochlorite had been added to such EAW. The effect of the pH value of EAW on the vase life of cut carnations was compatible with the decomposition rate of ethylene in EAW of the same pH value. These results suggest that the effect of EAW on the vase life of cut carnations was due to the decomposition of ethylene to ethylene chlorohydrine by chlorine from chlorine compounds.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">PMID: 12784619 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]</span></p><hr color="initial" style="background-color: rgb(231, 231, 231); border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- clear: both; height: 1px; margin-bottom: 24px; "><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><strong color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><a name="Allergies" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "></a>Allergies and </span><em color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Ionized Water</span></em></strong></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Prof. Kuninaka Hironaga, Head of Kuninaka Hospital</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“Mr. Yamada, the head of Police Research Institute, suffered from severe allergy.

Ever since I began to consume antioxidant water, the allergy has recovered. Since then, I started a research on the effectiveness of antioxidant water.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">I discovered that most allergies are due to acidification of body condition and is also related to consuming too much meat and sugar. In every allergy case, the patient’s antioxidant minerals are excessively low which in turn lower the body resistance significantly. The body becomes overly sensitive and develops allergy easily. To stabilize the sensitivity, calcium solution in injected into the vein. Therefore, it is clear that the antioxidant water has ionic calcium, which can help alleviate allergy.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The ionic calcium not only enhances the heart, urination, and neutralization of toxins but controls acidity. It also enhances the digestive system and liver function. This will promote natural healing power and hence increase its resistance to allergy. In some special cases of illness, which do not respond to drugs, it is found, it is found to respond well to antioxidant water.â€</span></p><hr color="initial" style="background-color: rgb(231, 231, 231); border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- clear: both; height: 1px; margin-bottom: 24px; "><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><strong color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><a name="Digestive" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: transparent; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "></a>Digestive Problems and Ionized Water</span></strong></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Prof. Kogure Keizou, Kogure Clinic of Juntendo Hospital</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">“The stomach is readily upset both by diseases affecting the stomach and by other general illnesses.

Reduced water is defined as anti-oxidative water produced by reduction of water. Electrolyzed reduced water (ERW) has been demonstrated to be hydrogen-rich water and can scavenge ROS in vitro (Shirahata et al., 1997).</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The reduction of proton in water to active hydrogen (atomic hydrogen, hydrogen radical) that can scavenge ROS is very easily caused by a weak current, compared to oxidation of hydroxyl ion to oxygen molecule. Activation of water by magnetic field, collision, minerals etc. will also produce reduced water containing active hydrogen and/or hydrogen molecule. Several natural waters such as Hita Tenryosui water drawn from deep underground in Hita city in Japan, Nordenau water in Germany and Tlacote water in Mexico are known to alleviate various diseases.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">We have developed a sensitive method by which we can detect active hydrogen existing in reduced water, and have demonstrated that not only ERW but also natural reduced waters described above contain active hydrogen and scavenge ROS in cultured cells. ROS is known to cause reduction of glucose uptake by inhibiting the insulin-signaling pathway in cultured cells. Reduced water scavenged intracellular ROS and stimulated glucose uptake in the presence or absence of insulin in both rat L6 skeletal muscle cells and mouse 3T3/L1 adipocytes. This insulin-like activity of reduced water was inhibited by wortmannin that is specific inhibitor of PI-3 kinase, a key molecule in insulin signaling pathways. Reduced water protected insulin-responsive cells from sugar toxicity and improved the damaged sugar tolerance of type 2 diabetes model mice, suggesting that reduced water may improve insulin-independent diabetes mellitus. Cancer cells are generally exposed to high oxidative stress. Reduced water cause impaired tumor phenotypes of human cancer cells, such as reduced growth rate, morphological changes, reduced colony formation ability in soft agar, passage number-dependent telomere shortening, reduced binding abilities of telomere binding proteins and suppressed metastasis. Reduced water suppressed the growth of cancer cells transplanted into mice, demonstrating their anti-cancer effects in vivo. Reduced water will be applicable to not only medicine but also food industries, agriculture, and manufacturing industries.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Shirahata, S. et al .: Electrolyzed reduced water scavenges active oxygen species and protects DNA from oxidative damage.

Examining improvement rate for each case of chronic diarrhoea, constipation and abdominal complaints, alkaline ionized water group turned out to be more effective than placebo group for chronic diarrhoea, and abdominal complaints. The test was stopped in one case of chronic diarrhoea, among placebo group due to exacerbation, whereas alkaline ionized water group did not stop testing without serious side effects or abnormal test data in all cases. It was confirmed that alkaline ionized water is more effective than clean water against chronic diarrhoea, abdominal complaints and overall improvement rate (relief of abdominal complaints) and safer than clean water.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><strong color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Introduction</span></strong></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Since the approval of alkaline ionized water electrolyzers by Pharmaceutical Affairs Law in 1966 for its antacid effect and efficacy against gastrointestinal disorders including hyperchylia, indigestion, abnormal gastrointestinal fermentation and chronic diarrhoea, they have been extensively used among patients.

The percentage reduction in bacterial load was determined for reaction times of 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 min. Mechanical agitation was done while treating the seeds at different time intervals to increase the effectiveness of the treatment. Since E. coli O157:H7 was released due to soaking during treatment, the initial counts on seeds and sprouts were determined by soaking the contaminated seeds/sprouts in 0.1% peptone water for a period equivalent to treatment time. The samples were then pummeled in 0.1% peptone water and spread plated on tryptic soy agar with 5 microg/ml of nalidixic acid (TSAN). Results showed that there were reductions between 38.2% and 97.1% (0.22-1.56 log(10) CFU/g) in the bacterial load of treated seeds.</span></p><p color="initial" style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 24px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The reductions for sprouts were between 91.1% and 99.8% (1.05-2.72 log(10) CFU/g).

Distilled water is electrical neutral water and a wonderful catalyst for delivering alkalizing minerals or hydroxyl ions if added. Drinking distelled reverse osmosis water is not harmful it is just a waste of time. It would be like in the past developing film that had never been exposed. Distilled reverse osmosis water can only be helpful to the body when it is a carring agent for electrons for providing energy and buffering excess dietary and/or metabolic acids. As per rain water there is no such thing as deionized rain. All water, including rain water carries a charge and can be measured in milli-volts (mV). That charge can be either positive or negative. Positively charged water is acidic water and negatively charged water is alkaline water. The charge of water is important because that is what the body is made up of and what the body runs on. I call it the spark of life - which is the electrical charge of water or more specifically the electron.</span></p><p color="transparent" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- line-height: 16px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Explanation of pH and why it matters</span></p><p color="transparent" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">To better understand how the body renders this debate meaningless, it is necessary to have a basic explanation of pH. The pH level is a quantitative measure of the hydrogen ions representing the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. The acidic solution has more free hydrogen ions and the alkaline solution has fewer free hydrogen ions. Any substance that lowers pH is an acid and any substance that raises it is a base. Buffers are substances that enable water to resist pH change when an acid or base is added.</span></p><p color="transparent" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with a pH of 7 being neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic and a pH greater than 7 is alkaline. The pH scale is logarithmic so for every one unit of change in pH there is a tenfold change in ion concentration.

Even a small amount of carbon dioxide from the air will combine with DRO water to lower the pH to about 6. For the same reason, just a speck of an alkalizing substance like baking soda will immediately raise the pH of a glass to over 7. In contrast, it would require considerably more acid or base to change the pH of mineral water. The difference is the presence of buffers or dissolved solids making it resistant to change. In other words, the pH of DRO water is like a pendulum that can be moved easily with a feather compared to high mineral water that requires a mallet.</span></p><p color="transparent" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Dr. Robert O. Young states:</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"> There is more to water than just purity to consider. There are other important considerations of a good healthy drinking water and that is electrical charge and molecular structure. When I speak of electrical charge I am referring to the charge that is carried on the surface of the water molecule. In most distilled, reverse osmosis or distilled reverse osmosis water, H2O molecules tend to cluster together in groups of 10 to 20. Electron activity occurs on the surface of a molecule, and as molecules cluster together, the total surgace area decreases, thereby decreasing electron activity or electrical charge. Conversely. the smaller the clusters formed, the higher the electron activity. Furthermore, arge clusters of molecules as found in distilled reverse osmosis water cannot permeate the cell membranes very well, and so can't hydrate the cells from the inside. The smaller the size of the cluster of molecules, the better able the water is to hydrate the cell and the more oxygen it can provide. Your water should have no more than 3 to 5 molecules clustered together. Ideally you would watn monomolecular water - each molecule stands as an individual, without clustering. There are two cutting-edge processing methods that can provide you with the properly structured water. One is is plasma-activated water which uses electromagnetic fields and ultrasound and UV radiation to breakdown the molecular clusters and thus incrase the electrically potential of distilled, reverse osmosis or ordinary tap water without chemicals or heat, creating a highly electrically charge with smaller molecule clusters of one to two molecules. The second cutting-edge processing is micro-ionization which passes water over titanium electrodes breaking the molecule clusters apart and creating a highly electrically charge with smaller molecule clusters of three to five molecules. Water like this will NOT come out of your tap, you cannot create this water using reverse osmosis filters or through distillation and you CANNOT buy this kind of water in a bottle. But investing in a micro-ionization machine you can create this extraordinary healthy water that has a pH of 9.5, a oxidative reduction potential of -250mV, and rH2 factor of 22 or less and a water with NO impurities.</span></p><p color="transparent" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Jack A.

In short, the extremely sensitive DRO water pH immediately adjusts to your body rather than your body adjusting to the DRO water pH. The much stronger hydrochloric acid in the stomach with a pH of 1 is about 100,000 times more acidic than any slightly acidic DRO water with which it combines. That renders the pH of DRO water completely irrelevant.</span></p><p color="transparent" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Dr. Robert O.

This robs the body of valuable alkaline buffers and in addition valuable electrons for energy needed to buffer the toxic water consumed. There is no benefit in drinking DRO water because it does NOT add additional electrons for energy nor does it buffer acids or hydrate the body.</span></p><p color="transparent" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- line-height: 16px; font-weight: bold; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Reasons not to drink alkaline water</span></p><p color="transparent" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 12px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border- outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline- vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background- line-height: 16px; text-align: justify; "><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Jack A.

It is when you eat acidic foods and drinks that you activate the stomach to produce sodium bicarbonate to buffer the acids coming from the food. It is gastrointestinal acid that causes disease and drinking distilled or reverse osmosis water or acid water will only compromise the alkaline design of the gut.

Welcome to the 21st century and Dr. Young's "New Biology."<br /><br />How is acid/base created in the body?<br /><br />1) The parietal or cover cells of the stomach split the sodium chloride of the blood. The sodium is used to bind with water and carbon dioxide to form the alkaline salt, sodium bicarbonate or NaHCO3. The biochemistry is: H20 + CO2 + NaCl = NaHCO3 + HCL. This is why a call the stomach an alkalizing organ NOT an organ of digestion. The stomach DOES NOT digest the food or liquids you ingest it alkalizes the food and liquid you ingest.<br /><br />2) For each molecule of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) made, a molecule of hydrochloric acid (HCL) is made and secreted into the so-called digestive system - specifically, the stomach (the gastric pits in the stomach) - to be eliminated. Therefore HCL is an acidic waste product of sodium bicarbonate created by the stomach to alkalize the food and liquids ingested.<br /><br />3) The chloride ion from the sodium chloride (salt) binds to an acid or proton forming HCL as a waste product of sodium bicarbonate production. HCL has a pH of 1 and is highly toxic to the body and the cause of indigestion, acid reflux, ulcers and cancer.<br /><br />4) When large amounts of acids, including HCL, enter the stomach from a rich animal protein or dairy product meal, such as meat and cheese, acid is withdrawn from the acid-base household. The organism would die if the resulting alkalosis - or NaHCO3 (base flood) or base surplus - created by the stomach was not taken up by the alkalophile glands that need these quick bases in order to build up their strong sodium bicarbonate secretions. These glands and organs are the stomach, pancreas, Brunner's glands (between the pylorus and the junctions of the bile and pancreatic ducts), Lieberkuhn's glands in the liver and its bile with its strong acid binding capabilities which it has to release on the highly acidic meat and cheese to buffer its strong acids of nitric, sulphuric, phosphoric, uric and lactic acids.<br /><br />5) When a rich animal protein and dairy product meal is ingested, the stomach begins to manufacture and secrete sodium bicarbonate (NHCO3) to alkalize the acids from the food ingested. This causes a loss in the alkaline reserves and an increase in acid and/or HCL found in the gastric pits of the stomach. These acids and/or HCL are taken up by the blood which lowers blood plasma pH. The blood eliminates this increase in gastrointestinal acid by throwing it off into the Pishinger's spaces.<br /><br />6) The space enclosed by these finer and finer fibers is called the Pishinger's space, or the extracellular space that contains the fluids that bath and feed each and every cell while carrying away the acidic waste from those same cells. There is no mention of this organ in American physiology text books. There is mention of the extracellular space but not of any organ that stores acids from metabolism and diet, like the kidney. I call this organ the "pre-kidney" because it stores metabolic and gastrointestinal acids until they can be buffered and eliminated via the skin, urinary tract, or bowels.<br /><br />7) After a rich animal protein or dairy product meal, the urine pH becomes alkaline. The ingestion of meat and cheese causes a reaction in acidic fashion in the organism by the production of sulfuric, phosporhoric, nitric, uric, lactic, acetylaldehyde and ethanol acids, respectively, but also through the formation and excretion of base in the urine. Therefore eating meat and cheese causes a double loss of bases leading to tissue acidosis and eventual disease, especially inflammation and degenerative diseases.<br /><br />8) During heavy exercise, if the the resulting lactic acid was not adsorbed by the collagen fibers, the specific acid catchers of the body, the organism would die. The total collection of these fibers is the largest organ of the body called SCHADE, the colloidal connective tissue organ. NO liquid exchange occurs between the blood and the parenchyma cells, or in reverse, unless it passes through this connective tissue organ. This organ connects and holds everything in our bodies in place. This organ is composed of ligaments, tendons, sinew, and the finer fibers that become the scaffolding that holds every single cell in our bodies in place. When acids are stored in this organ, which includes the muscles, inflammation and pain develop. The production of lactic acid is increased with the ingestion of milk, cheese, yogurt, butter and especially ice cream.</div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-1865448767849299341" style="width: 570px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; "><br />That is why I have stated, "acid is pain and pain is acid." You cannot have one without the other. This is the beginning of latent tissue acidosis leading to irritation, inflammation and degeneration of the cells, tissues and organs.<br /><br />9) The more acidity created from eating meat, cheese, milk or ice cream the more gastrointestinal acids are adsorbed into the the collagen fibers to be neutralized and the less sodium bicarbonate or NaHCO3 that is taken up by the alkalophile glands. The larger the potential difference between the adsorbed acids and the amount of NaHCO3 generated with each meal, the more or less alkaline are the alkalophile glands like the pancreas, gallbladder, pylorus glands, blood, etc. The acid binding power of the connective tissue, the blood, and the alkalophile glands depends on its alkali reserve, which can be determined through blood, urine, and saliva pH, including live and dried blood analysis as taught by Dr. Robert O. Young. The saliva pH is an indication of alkali reserves in the alkalophile glands and the urine pH is an indication of the pH of the fluids that surround the cells or the Pishinger's space.<br /><br />10) The iso-structure of the blood maintains the pH of the blood by pushing off gastrointestinal or metabolic acids into the connective tissue or the Pishinger's space. The blood gives to the urine the same amount of acid that it receives from the tissues and liver so it can retain its iso-form. A base deficiency is always related to the deterioration of the deposit ability of the connective tissues or the Pishinger's space. As long as the iso-structure of the blood is maintained, the urine - which originates from the blood - remains a faithful reflected image of the acid-base regulation, not of the blood, but of the tissues. The urine therefore is an excretion product of the tissues, not the blood. So when you are testing the pH of the urine, you are testing the pH of the tissues.<br /><br />11) A latent "acidosis" is the condition that exists when there are not enough bases in the alkalophile glands because they have been used up in the process of neutralizing the acids adsorbed to the collagen fibers. This leads to compensated "acidosis." This means the blood pH has not changed but other body systems have changed. This can then lead to decompensated "acidosis" where the alkaline reserves of the blood are used up and the pH of the blood is altered. Decompensated "acidosis" can be determined by testing the blood pH, urine pH and the saliva pH. The decrease in the alkaline reserves in the body occurs because of hyper-proteinization, (eating Meat and Cheese!)or too much protein, and hyper-carbonization, or too much sugar. This is why 80 to 90 year old folks are all shrunk up and look like prunes. They have very little or no alkaline reserves in their alkalophile glands. When all the alkaline minerals are gone, so are you and your battery runs down. The charge of your cellular battery can be measured by testing the ORP or the oxidative reduction potential of the blood, urine or saliva using an ORP meter. As you become more acidic this energy potential or ORP increases.<br /><br />12) If there is not enough base left over after meat and cheese or surgary meal, or enough base to neutralize and clear the acids stored in the connective tissues, a relative base deficiency develops which leads to latent tissue acidosis. When this happens the liver and pancreas are deficient of adequate alkaline juices to ensure proper alkalization of the food in your stomach and small intestine.<br /><br />13) Digestion or alkalization cannot proceed without enough of these alkaline juices for the liver and pancreas, etc., and so the stomach has to produce more acid in order to make enough base, ad nauseam, and one can develop indigestion, nausea, acid reflux, GERD, ulcers, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer. All of these symptoms are not the result of too much acid or HCL in the stomach. On the contrary, it is the result of too little base in the form of sodium bicarbonate!<br /><br />14) Therefore the stomach is NOT an organ of digestion as currently taught in ALL biology and medical texts, BUT an organ of contribution or deposit. It's function is to deposit alkaline juices to the stomach to alkalize the food and to the blood to carry to the alklophile glands!!!!<br /><br />15) There is a daily rhythm to this acid base ebb and flow of the fluids of the body. The stored acids are mobilized from the connective tissues and Pishinger's spaces while we sleep.<br />These acids reach their maximum (base tide) concentration in this fluid, and thereby the urine (around 2 a.m. is the most acidic). The acid content of the urine directly reflects the acid content of the fluid in the Pishinger's spaces, the extracellular fluid compartments of the body. On the other hand, the Pishinger's spaces become most alkaline around 2 p.m. (the base flood) as then the most sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is being generated by the cover cells of the stomach to alkalize the food and drink we have ingested.<br /><br />16) If your urine is not alkaline by 2 p.m. you are definitely in an ACIDIC condition and lacking in alkaline reserves. The pH of the urine should run between 6.8 and 8.4 but ideally 7.2 or greater.<br /><br />17) After a high protein meal or meat or cheese, the free acids formed such as sulfuric, phosphoric, uric, and nitric acids stick to the collagen fibers to remove them from the blood and protect the delicate pH of the blood at 7.365. The H+ or proton ions from these acids are neutralized by the next base flood, the sodium bicarbonate produced after the meal. The H+ or proton ion combines with the carbonate or HCO3, converts to carbonic acid, H2CO3, which converts to CO2 and H2O. The sulfuric and other acids from proteins are neutralized as follows where the HR represents any acid with the R as its acid radical (SO4, PO4, or NO3) HR + NaHCO3 <=> H2O + NaR (Ca, Mg, K)+ CO2.<br /><br />18) Medical doctors and savants are not taught in medical school and therefore do not understand or recognize latent tissue acidosis. They understand and recognize compensated acidosis and decompensated acidosis. In compensated acidosis, breathing increases in order to blow off more carbonic acid which decreases PCO2 because of the lowered carbonate or HCO3. When the breathing rate can no longer get any faster and when the kidneys can no longer increase its' function to keep up with the acid load, then the blood pH starts to change from a pH of 7.365 to 7.3 then to 7.2. At a blood pH of 6.95 the heart relaxes and the client goes into a coma or dies.<br /><br />19) Metabolism of a normal adult diet results in the generation of 50 to 100 meq of H+ or proton per day, which must be excreted if the urine acid-base balance is to be maintained. A meq is a milliequivalent which is an expression of concentration of substance per liter of solution, calculated by dividing the concentration in milligrams per 100 milliliters by the molecular weight. This process involves two basis steps; 1) the reabsorption of the filtered sodium bicarbonate or NaHCO3 and, 2) excretion of the 50 to 100 meq of H+ or proton produced each day by the formation of titratable acidity and NH4+ or ammonium. Both steps involve H+ or proton secretion from the cells of the kidney into the urine.<br /><br />20) Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) must be reabsorbed into the blood stream, since the loss of NaHCO3 will increase the net acid load and lower the plasma NaHCO3 concentration. The loss of NaHCO3 in the urine is equivalent to the addition of H+ to the body since both are derived from the dissociation of H2CO3 or carbonic acid.<br /><br />21) The biochemistry is: CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = HCO3 + H+. The normal subject must reabsorb 4300 meq of NaHCO3 each day! The secreted H+ or proton ions are generated within the kidney cells from the dissociation of H2O or water. This process also results in the equimolar production OH- or hydroxyl ions. The OH- ions bind to the active zinc-containing site of the intracellular carbonic anhydrase; they then combine with CO2 to form HCO3- ions which are released back into the kidney cells and returned to the systemic circulation. Second, the dietary acid load is excreted by the secretion of H+ or proton ions from the kidney cells into the urine. These H+ or proton ions can do one of two things: the H+ or proton ions can be combined with the urinary buffers, particularly HPO4, in a process called titratable acidity (The biochemistry is: H+ + HPO4 = H2PO4), or the phosphate buffering system or the H+ or proton ions can combine with ammonia (NH3) to form ammonium as follows: NH3 + H+ = NH4.<br /><br />22) This ammonia is trapped and concentrated in the kidney as ammonium which is then excreted in the urine.<br /><br />23) In response to acid load, 36% of the H+ or proton goes intracellular in exchange for the release of Na+ (sodium) into the blood stream. 15% of the acid goes intracellular in exchange for K+ (potassium) - common in diabetics. 6% of the H+ or proton or acid goes directly into the cell to be buffered by intracellular processes. 43% is buffered extracellularly as NaHCO3- or sodium bicarbonate combining with H+ or proton to form H2CO3 or carbonic acid which breaks down to CO2 or carbon dioxide to be released by the lungs. 10% of CO2 or carbon dioxide is excreted through the lungs and 90% is used by the body to reabsorb alkaline minerals and make sodium bicarbonate for buffering gastrointestinal and metabolic acids.</div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-1865448767849299341" style="width: 570px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; "><br />The biochemistry is: CO2 + H2O = H2CO3 = HCO3 + H+.<br /><br />24) Of all the ways the body can buffer metabolic and dietary acids, the excretion of protein (the eating of meat and cheese) generated acid residues is the only process that does not add sodium bicarbonate back into blood circulation. This creates a loss of bases which is the forerunner of all sickness and disease. In the long run, the only way to replace these lost bases is by eating more alkaline electron-rich green foods and long-chain polyunsaturated fats. Eating meat and cheese is definitely hazardous to your health. That is why I say, "a cucumber a day keeps the doctor away while eating meat, cheese and even an apple creates more excess acid in the colloidal connective tissues, leading to latent tissue acidosis.<br /><br />25) With over 30 years of research and testing over 500,000 samples of blood and over 1,000,000 samples of urine and saliva I have come to the conclusion that the Human Body is an acid producing organism by function - yet, it is an alkaline organism by design. Eating animal protein, especially meat and cheese and sugar from any source are deadly acidic choices - unless you interested in becoming sick, tired and fat over time.<br /><br />Bottom line - the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet is a program that focuses on the foundational principal that the body is alkaline by design and yet acidic by function. This make this program the ultimate program for preventing and reversing aging and the onset of sickness and dis-ease. I would say that the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet is the diet for a longer healthier life.<br /><br />Please remember this very important truth, hydrochloric acid in the stomach is not the cause of digestion but the result of digestion.

Young states: The pH of your extracellular fluids, which includes the blood plasma is kept at a very narrow range at 7.365 to 7.385. Any pH measurement of blood plasma in excess of 7.385 indicates a condition of compensated acidosis and any pH measurement of blood plasma below 7.365 indicates a condition of decompensated acidosis. When the pH of the blood plasma increases above the 7.385 this is the result of the blood pushing environmental, dietary, respiratory and metabolic acids out into the tissues as the blood is pulling alkaline mineral salts such as calcium ions from the bones or magnesium ions from the muscles to offset the increase of acids in the blood. It is always a sure sign that as the blood plasma is becoming more alkaline that the tissues are becoming more acidic and this is the cause of all inflammatory and degenerative diseases. When the body tissues, organs, cells,or the alkaline reserves (sodium, calcium, magnesium and potassium) become deficient in alkaline minerals the blood plasma the pH will drop below the ideal 7.365 causing decompensated acidosis leading to hemolysis at a pH below 7.365 or a coma and/or death at a pH below 7.2.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; ">Dr. Kim Ben states: If the pH of your blood falls below 7.35, the result is a condition called acidosis, a state that leads to central nervous system depression.

The blood plasma pH always goes alkaline when the blood pushes out environmental, dietary, respiratory or metabolic acids out into the tissues. These acids are always deposited into what I call the 'acid catchers' which are the connective tissues. This leads to whati I call 'latent tissue acidosis'. As acids build-up in the connective tissues and if NOT eliminated by the lymphatic system and the out through the channels of elimination, including the skin, lungs, bowels or urine this will result in ALL the connective tissue diseases and degenerative diseases, including cancerous conditions.</p><p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; ">Dr. Kim Ben states: If the pH of your blood rises above 7.45, the result is alkalosis.

The result is tissue acidosis which then leads to hypersentive and over-excitable nerves, muscle spasms, nervousness and convulsions that can lead to coma or even death.

Young states: pH is a measurement of the concentrations of hydrogen and hydroxyl ions in a aqueous solution. Any aqueous solution, like your blood plasma that is saturated in hydrogen ions is less or more acidic and any aqueous solution that is saturated in hydroxyl ions is less or more base or alkaline. Once again, the human body is alkaline in its design and acidic in its function. Your blood plasma needs to be maintained at a delicate pH of 7.365 for your cells to function properly. I have found in my research that when your pH is stable at 7.365 you find healthy blood which is even in color, even in size and even in shape. The red blood cell is the primary stem cell which becomes all other body cells. And the health of the blood is directly connected to the health of all body cells. It is blood that becomes, liver, heart, brain and skin cells. All red blood cells and then body cells are made up of microzymas. Microzymas are the foundational, indestructable matter and intelligent matter that makes up all living cells, including the DNA. The tinest changes in the pH of the body fluids can cause the microzymas in the red blood cells or body cells to change into bacteria, yeast and/or mold.

I have also found that pure water has an oxidative reduction potential in a range of +50mV to +150mV) which will drain energy from the body. Lemon is an alkaline fruit not an acidic fruit.

The stomach is the major organ for sodium bicarbonate production for alkalizing food and maintaining the alkaline pH of the blood, tissues and organs.</div><div><br /></div><div>2) The hemaglobin buffering system - the hemaglobin is a secondary alkalizing buffer for the blood when there is insufficient elements for the production of the primary buffer, sodium bicarbonate. This is the main cause of ALL blood diseases and why most all the client/patients I see have to a lesser or greater degree anemic and unhealthy blood.</div><div><br /></div><div>3) The pHosphate buffering system buffers acids creating phosphoric acid which is then excreted via the urine.</div><div><br /></div><div>4) The ammonia buffering system reacts with hydrogen ions or acids to form ammonium ions which are excreted into the urine.</div><div><br /></div><div>5) The plasma protein buffering system helps to chelate acids. The most plentiful type of buffer in the body including glutathione, methionine, cysteine and taurine which are found in the cells, lymph fluid and plasma. Most plasma protein activity occurs intracellularly to bind or neutralize acids during cellular metabolism and/or disorganization or transformation of the human cell.</div><div><br /></div><div>6) The electrolyte buffering system which includes the alkalizing mineral salts of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium. The chelation of any acid will form a less toxic solid or a stone in the body. All stones and cysts and tumors are the result of excess acids in the extra and intracellular fluids. The elctrolyte or mineral buffers work in the blood, lymph, extracellular and intracellular fluids to bind acids which are then removed via the urine. These four elements are recycled by the kidneys into the blood and lymph by binding them to CO2. Over 90 percent of the CO2 produced in the body through cellular fermentaiton in the production of energy is used to carry out this recycling process.</div><div><br /></div><div>7) The low density lipo protein buffering system also referred to as cholesterol works primarily as a binder of acids in the blood, lymph, and extracellular fluids which are then exreted via the urine. If elimination is compromised the fat bound acids are removed away from the organs that sustain life inot the body cavities, hips, thighs, buttocks and abdominal area. This is the cause of over-weight and obesity.</div><div><br /></div><div>8) The endocrine buffering system releases hormones to buffer acids. These hormones include the antidiuretic hormone which regulates the rate at which water is lost or retained by the body and aldosterone which regulates the level of sodium ions and potassium ions in the blood. These two alkaline secretions help the kidneys maintain the alkaline design of the body and reduce excess acidity thus creating pH balance in the body.</div><div><br /></div><div>9) The release of free radicals by the lymphocytes to buffer excess acids.</div><div><br /></div><div>10) The retention of alkaline water to buffer excess acids in the tissues.

You need NO blood sugar to run the body! The body runs on electrons NOT sugar. The brain runs on electrons NOT sugar! The cells run on electrons NOT sugar! All life forms are electrical/chemical NOT just chemical. Sugar is a metabolic waste product or acid. It is poison in all of its forms. Plants, animals and humans run on electrons NOT sugar. When plants, animals and humans are sick, tired or dieing sugar goes up NOT down and energy goes down NOT up. Feed your body live electron rich alkaline foods that are absent or low in sugar and live longer and healthier. I have been saying this for over 30 years - Dr Robert O Young.Pham Tuyenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16930773015940163713noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418855681583968321.post-15690631724392388272012-04-07T23:15:00.002-07:002012-05-12T10:36:12.135-07:00A Cure for Melanoma Without Toxic/Acidic Treatments<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQuPmAZ8OKKiKLZalrgQP16h3Mv38UNICLaGSKboP90KUryYTlSe6wKuATXwuu1EZ2xKuq7lfLSPvbEVEkF79zikIWUDaT0-fpGAaj8sjw8NoLHJRITllqDTA6GAN45B1TueEFWkoFB2Nd/s1600/Slide120.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQuPmAZ8OKKiKLZalrgQP16h3Mv38UNICLaGSKboP90KUryYTlSe6wKuATXwuu1EZ2xKuq7lfLSPvbEVEkF79zikIWUDaT0-fpGAaj8sjw8NoLHJRITllqDTA6GAN45B1TueEFWkoFB2Nd/s320/Slide120.jpg" border="0" alt=" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5729017635156109682" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(34, 34, 34); line-height: 11px; font-family:Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif;font-size:8.33333px;"><h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="margin-top: 0.75em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; position: relative; font: normal normal normal 22px/normal Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; ">Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?</h3><div class="post-header" style="line-height: 1.6; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; font-size: 11px; "><div class="post-header-line-1"></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4437438703073745139" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 572px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; ">Do you suffer from skin problems or even skin cancer?<br /><br />Then read Richard Adgo's pH Miracle Story . . . .<br /><br />I would like to share with you my story as to how I became involved with the pH Miracle Living Center in Valley Center, California, owned and operated by Dr. Robert O. Young and his wife, Shelley.<br /><br />In January, 2003, my osteopath noticed a mole change on my back. It was bleeding so he suggested that I should see my GP as soon as possible, like the next day. This I did and my GP took the mole out and sent it away for a biopsy. Two days later I received a phone call from my GP asking me to come and see him as soon as possible. This I did. My GP told me that the biopsy proved malignant, suggesting that I should make an appointment to see a plastic surgeon.<br /><br />My wife and I went to see the surgeon about three days later and I was told that I had melanoma - a very invasive form of cancer. Given a ratio of between one and three I had number two. The doctor recommended that I have surgery as soon as possible, which I did. After surgery I was told I would have to have three monthly checkups to make sure the cancer was not spreading. About four months later I felt a lump under my left armpit about the size of a marble, so I returned to the surgeon to find out that I would have to have my lymph nodes out. A week later I had the surgery and the doctor recommended me to the oncology department.<br /><br />At this point I had met a lot of people with this condition and the outlook was not very bright. It was then that I decided to take charge of my own health.<br /><br />I would like to share something with you at this point. My wife had bought Dr. Young's book Sick and Tired. I use to see it around a lot and it got to me so much that I would keep turning it over so that I could not see it. Strange as it may seem, that's how depressed I was. I couldn't see the wood for the trees. Very soon after that, Karen, my wife, booked both of us on a flight to the U.S where I attended a pH Miracle Living Retreat at the pH Miracle Living Center, in Valley Center, California. </div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4437438703073745139" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 572px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; "><br /></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4437438703073745139" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 572px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; ">It was a five day Retreat and it was full on from day one, learning and understanding the New Biology(R). After only a few days I started to feel a lot better, with more energy and a lot less tired. I had not fallen asleep at all during the day even through all the lectures. I was on my way up. What a great feeling. But a major change in diet and a complete lifestyle change was ahead of me. Dr. Young said that he had given me the tools to look after myself and it was up to me now to make it happen.<br /><br />It has been over six years now and I have never felt so good in all my life. I very rarely get anything like a cold or a flu, aching joints, headaches, or feel depressed. The pH Miracle is exactly what it says it is, just that. Thank you Dr. Young and Shelley. I feel that with the help of all the people like my wife and my GP and my surgeon, Dr. Young and Shelley I am still around to share this story with you. So really do not close off any doors when you are in such a situation. Take all the avenues and most of all take charge of your own health. </div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4437438703073745139" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 572px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; "><br /></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-4437438703073745139" itemprop="articleBody" style="width: 572px; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; ">Do not be told by anyone that you can go home and get things in order, which in other words means go home and die. Do what I have done and believe in the New Biology(R). Just get on with life. Make those lifestyle and dietary changes and just get on the Young pHorever pH Miracle program and give it your best and honest shot. Do not blame someone else for your condition, just get on with it. As I have. Become a pH Miracle all for the sake of trying. It's as simple as that. Get on the Doc Broc Greens and the pHour salts, and the pHlavor salts and the pHlush salts and the puripHy salts. It is called the COWS pack and you can order it at:<br /><br />http://www.phmiracleliving.com/p-383-young-phorever-cows-starter-pack.aspx<br /><br />All the best and have an alkaline pH Miracle day,<br /><br />Richard Adgo<br />New Zealand<br /><br />PS I would highly recommend you go to a pH Miracle Living Retreat.
