What amazed me the most about medical aids in South Africa is that they really go out of their way to encourage people to stay healthy.  They offer yearly (some 3 times a year) medical checks for cholesterol, high blood pressure, sugar.  You can also join certain Gym’s that are subsidised by the medical aid you belong to for a quarter of the price.  The most important check they don’t offer is to check your blood for acid.

 

If your pH is normal you will never get a disease.  Acidosis is the forerunner of most, if not all chronic degenerative diseases including cancer, diabetes, arthritis’s, and heart disease.  According to research, total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal slightly alkaline pH.

 

What does pH means?  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 deprived the fluid is.  The pH range from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral.  Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, anything below 7.0 is considered acidic. (blood pH, you get different counts for urine)  Normal pH is between 7.35 – 7.5, anything below or above this range means symptoms and diseases.  If blood pH moves too much below 6.8 or above 7.8, cells stop functioning and the patient dies.  Enough to get you to the doctor immediately, and make a habit of checking your pH level as regular as you go for all these other checks.  If you got a health problem you are most likely acidic, get to your doctor.

 

What is the cause of a Ph level to high or to low?  It is what we put in our bodies.   

Acidosis is caused by the consumption of excess protein and other acid forming foods.  In my book Health dangers you will find an alkaline diet chart to help you eat the right food to avoid acidosis.  Other symptoms is negative thoughts, defensive, argumentative, unpleasant and pessimist who find nothing good about anything.

 

Acidosis is also the cause of corrodes (eating into cell wall membrane) arteries, veins and heart tissues, premature ageing, weight gain, a condition known as Insulin sensitivity or Syndrome X, cholesterol, blood pressure, disrupts critical lipid and fatty acid metabolism, inhibits metabolism of stored energy reserves, inhibits cellular regeneration & DNA-RNA synthesis, inhibits oxygen to the tissue, inhibits life giving electrolyte activity, all forms of cancer, diabetes, liver and kidney diseases, Parkinson diseases and so the list goes on.  And acid pH is the seed of degenerative diseases.

 

Symptoms of acidosis:  Symptoms of prolonged acidosis can easily be mistaken for individual character traits.  However, definite attitudes and mannerism develop as a result of the super-charged internal activity of the body as it works toward riding itself of the damaging excess acid.   A person with acidosis has first an exaggerated sense of well-being, is high on achieving, believes himself as perfect, is overly ambitious and restless, than change to pessimist, can’t sleep restfully, wake up tired in the morning, find fault with everything and everybody, is tired and experience general aches and pains, become irritable, ill tempered, difficult to please, and show signs of ageing.

 

Although everyone who suffering from acidosis does not experience all of these symptoms, it is helpful to the practitioner to be able to correlate some “personal traits” with clinical findings and to recognize indications that the patients body is over taxed and headed toward chronic degenerative disease.

 

Maybe if we all make our medical aids or insurance aware of this very fital test, a lot of disease can be avoid and many people can save their own lives by knowing when their pH level is in a dangerous zone and do something about it.  We will also understand when we experience these symptoms that it is not because we are a horrible person, it is our body’s telling us there is something wrong.
