What is Acidosis?

Acidosis is an abnormal increase in the acidity of the body's fluids. We are born with in a slightly alkaline body. We have optimum health with a slightly alkaline body. Unfortunatly, our bodies are acid generating by function.

And in order to protect itself from an overabundance of acid waste, it will do all sorts of things to keep our blood at a 7.35 to 7.4 pH level, including things that eventually do a lot of harmful damage over time.

We live in a world where acidosis is at the root of many health problems, diseases, and illnesses. Acidosis happens when the body has more acid than it can effectively process. Many people seeking relief from symptoms of chronic conditions like arthritis, arteriosclerosis, cancer, diabetes or emphysema, are not aware of where these symptomatology's originate. In each case, the stem from an increase in the amount of acid in the body.

Acidosis is so common it is assumed to be normal, however, it is most defininately not what our bodies need to be normal. Acidosis is the forerunner of most, if not ALL, chronic degenerative diseases, including arthritis, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. These particular diseases are so prominante in our society that they are considered an epidemic here in the USA.

Acidosis is also linked to our mental and emotional state of mind. Did you know that negative thoughts can lead to creating more acid due to speeding up our body's metabolic activity. Our negative thoughts can become such an acid waste factory, that even when eating the right alkaline foods will not be enough.

In fact, the more acidic we become, the more unpleasantly negative, defensive, argumentative and depressed we become. People who are suffering with these attitudes on a chronic level are most certainly in some degree of acidsosis.

Cancer is the second leading cause of death. Acidosis inhibits cellular regeneration & DNA-RNA systhesis. For cellular regeneration and DNA-RNA systhesis to occur, cell pH must NOT be acidic. Cancer cells however, thrive in an acidic medium. An acidic pH will accelerate and increase the possiblity of cellular mutations, which is another word for cancer.

Terminal cancer patients are around 1000 times more acidic than normal healthy people.

Cancerous cells do not contain hydrogen atoms. When healthy cells have enough hydrogen they will not and cannot become cancerous. If we can get hydrogen into any unhealthy cell, they can become healthy again. ALL FORMS of cancer come from an acid pH. This includes the latest horrible scare, prostate

Medical research on the subject of pH levels shows that total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH.

What exactly is pH? pH is the abbreviation for potential hydrogen. The pH of any solution is the measure of its hydrogen-ion concentration. The higher the pH reading, the more alkaline and oxygen rich the fluid is. The lower the pH reading, the more acidic and oxygen depreived the fluid is.

A healthy blood pH idealy is 7.4 or just slightly alkaline. 7.0 is neutral. Our bodies have an incredible abilty to heal itself. However, it must become pH ballanced in order to do so. In fact, an acidic body will lose it's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients properly as well as decrease its ability to detoxify heavy metals, and become more susceptible to illness, disease and fatique.

What can we do about our acidic bodies?

An acidic body is an unhealthy one. If you have health problems, most likely you are acidic. Research shows that the body cannot heal itself in an acidic pH ballance.

Start washing away the acidic waste and heavy metal toxins in your body by drinking Kangen water. The more you drink, over time, the more your body will rid itself of acid. The closer you bring your body to a level 7.4 pH, the more it will be able to heal itself.

The healthier it becomes, the more it can assimilate the minerals and nutritional content of your diet.
