ACID/ALKALINE & CANCER An acid body is a magnet for sickness, disease, cancer and aging. Eating more alkaline foods helps shift your body's pH and oxygenate your system. Alkaline foods keep your body healthy and functioning correctly, preventing cancer. Acid foods cause sickness, disease, cancer and aging. Healthy tissues are alkaline. Cancerous tissues are acidic. pH Balance: The pH scale is from 0 to 14, with numbers below 7 acidic (low on oxygen) and numbers above 7 alkaline. The blood, lymph and cerebral spinal fluid in the human body are designed to be slightly alkaline at a pH of 7.4. At a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at pH 8.5 cancer cells will die while healthy cells will live. Alkaline and Acid Basic Categories: Mild Alkaline - 80% Strongly Alkaline - Supplement Strongly Acid - (avoid) Mild Acid - 20% Fruits - Vegetables - Berries - Dairy Calcium - Magnesium - Potassium - Cesium Meat - Fish - Eggs - Soft drinks Grains - Legumes - Nuts - Seeds   There are two types of acid and alkaline foods: 1) Acid or alkaline foods, meaning how much acid or alkaline the foods contain. 2) Acid or alkaline 'forming' foods, meaning the pH condition foods cause in the body after being digested. Acidic conditions inhibit nerve action whereas alkalinity stimulates nerve action. Cold showers make the blood alkaline, while hot showers make the blood acid. A balanced diet helps to maintain the pH balance of the blood. Results however take more than a couple of days to show up. If blood develops a more acidic condition, then the body will inevitably deposit the excess acid to another area of the body so that the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition. As this cycle continues, these areas will increase in acidity and some cells will die. The dead cells will then turn into acids. Some cells may adapt and instead of dying as normal cells do in a acid environment, they will survive by becoming abnormal. These abnormal cells are known as malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function nor with our DNA memory code. Malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer, and cancer develops in the following stages: 1.  The ingestion of numerous acid forming foods, fatty foods, refined foods, carcinogenic substances such as nitrates, and chemically treated foods. X-ray scans also contribute. 2.  Constipation is increased. 3.  An increase of acidity in the blood. This stage causes an increase of white cells and a decrease of red cells, which is the beginning of leukemia. 4.  An increase of acidity in the extra cellular fluids. 5.  An increase of acidity into the intracellular fluids. 6.  The birth of malignant cells. This stage of cancer is known as 'initiation'. 7.  Further ingestion of multiple acid foods. Traditional treatment includes high levels of radiation, chemicals and drugs. This stage is called 'cancer promotion'. Saliva PH test The Saliva PH test is a simple test you can do to measure your susceptibility to cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, and many other degenerative diseases. How to Perform the Saliva pH Test First, you must wait at least 2 hours after eating. Fill your mouth with saliva and then swallow it. Repeat this step to help ensure that your saliva is clean. Then the third time, put some of your saliva onto the pH paper. The pH paper should turn blue. This indicates that your saliva is slightly alkaline at a healthy pH of 7.4. If it is not blue, compare the color with the chart that comes with the pH paper. If your saliva is acid (below pH of 7.0) wait two hours and repeat the test. Saliva pH and Cancer "When healthy, the pH of blood is 7.4, the pH of spinal fluid is 7.4, and the pH of saliva is 7.4. Thus the pH of saliva parallels the extra cellular fluid...pH test of saliva represents the most consistent and most definitive physical sign of the ionic calcium deficiency syndrome...The pH of the non-deficient and healthy person is in the 7.5 (dark blue) to 7.1 (blue) slightly alkaline range. The range from 6.5 (blue-green) which is weakly acidic to 4.5 (light yellow) which is strongly acidic represents states from mildly deficient to strongly deficient, respectively. Most children are dark blue, a pH of 7.5. Over half of adults are green-yellow, a pH of 6.5 or lower, reflecting the calcium deficiency of aging and lifestyle defects. Cancer patients are usually a bright yellow, a pH of 4.5, especially when terminal." The Calcium Factor: The Scientific Secret of Health and Youth, by Robert R. Barefoot and Carl J. Reich. Virtually all degenerative diseases, including cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, kidney and gall stones, and tooth decay are associated with excess acidity in the body. While the body does have a homeostatic mechanism which maintains a constant pH 7.4 in the blood, this mechanism works by depositing and withdrawing acid and alkaline minerals from other locations including the bones, soft tissues, body fluids and saliva. Therefore, the pH of these other tissues can fluctuate greatly. The pH of saliva offers us a window through which we can see the overall pH balance in our bodies. Cancer cannot exist in an alkaline environment. All forms of arthritis are associated with excess acidity. Acid in the body dissolves both teeth and bones. Whatever health situation you are faced with, you can monitor your progress toward a proper acid/alkaline balance by testing your saliva pH. Ways to Restore Acid/Alkaline Balance in Your Body If your saliva is too acid you would benefit from increasing the alkalinity of your body. Ways to do this include: 1. Eat mostly alkaline foods. The general "rule of thumb" is to eat 20% acid foods and 80% alkaline foods. Avoid the "strongly acid" foods. Strongly Acid: soft drink Mild Acid: grains, legumes, nuts Mild Alkaline: fruits, vegetables, berries, dairy Strongly Alkaline: green leafy vegetables, broccoli, spinach pH litmus test strips can be used to measure the acidity or alkalinity of urine or saliva. pH Test Strips have a range of 5.5-8.0 making them the preferred choice of our customers because of the precise pH matches at every .2 to .3 pH intervals. pH Test Strips have excellent colour separations in the acid range (below pH 7), and the alkali range (above pH 7) and are commonly requested to test urine and saliva. The colour chart has pH matches at... [5.5][5.8][6.0][6.2][6.4][6.6][7.0][7.2][7.4][7.6][8.0]   To use this product simply tear off a small strip of pH paper and dip into test solution. Compare the instantaneous colour change with the matching pH colour chart If you have high pH levels – you have low acid levels. If you have low pH levels – you have high acid levels. Used to adjust your diet to bring everything back into balance.   Keep your emotions in check. Emotions create acidity through the release of hormones that are then fermented, which produces the acid, and we then start craving the foods we should basicly avoid.  Put yourself on a quest to find something to laugh at every day. Resindicate that, after exposure to humor, there is a general increase in activity witin the immune system, including:   An increase in the number and activity level of natural killer cells that attack viral infected cells and some types of cancer and tumor cells. An increase in activated T cells (T lymphocytes). There are many T cells that await activation. Laughter appears to tell the immune system to "turn it up a notch." An increase in the antibody IgA (immunoglobulin A), which fights upper respiratory tract insults and infections. An increase in gamma interferon, which tells various components of the immune system to "turn on. Laughter Decreases "Stress" Hormones The results of the study also supported research indicating a general decrease in stress hormones that constrict blood vessels and suppress immune activity. These were shown to decrease in the study group exposed to humor. For example, levels of epinephrine were lower in the group both in anticipation of humor and after exposure to humor. Epinephrine levels remained down throughout the experiment. In addition, dopamine levels (as measured by dopac) were also decreased. Dopamine is involved in the "fight or flight response" and is associated with elevated blood pressure. Laughing is aerobic, providing a workout for the diaphragm and increasing the body's ability to use oxygen. Laughter brings in positive emotions that can enhance – not replace -- conventional treatments. Hence it is another tool available to help fight the disease. Experts believe that, when used as an adjunct to conventional care, laughter can reduce pain and aid the healing process. For one thing, laughter offers a powerful distraction from pain.  To order pH test trips or to get a free E-Book on Wheat Grass and Acid/Akaline Foods click here
