Acidosis

[Guest guest]

A friend of mine has been diagnosed with this . Does anyone know natural

means for treating and preventing this?

There are two ways in which the body becomes acidic.

 

1) Metabolic acidosis, results from eating too many acid forming

foods and not enough of the alkaline forming foods. Protein foods,

such as meat, are generally acid forming. Grains are slightly acid

forming. Vegetables are usually alkaline forming.

 

2) Respiratory acidosis, this occurs much more rapidly than metabolic

acidosis. It is the result of impaired metabolism or lack of

oxygen. If you hold your breathe CO2 builds up in the blood, causing

it to become more acid.

 

In the case of CFS/FMS blockages within the energy producing

processes in the cell cause the cell to rely more heavily upon

glycolysis. As a result the cell produces more pyruvic acid as a

byproduct which causes the tissue to become more acid.

 

Each area of the body affect the other. Using CFS/FMS as an example

The tissue becomes acidic, the blood trying to compensate become more

alkaline, the digestive system becomes more alkaline producing acid

reflux symptoms, the colon becomes more alkaline and is not conducive

for the friendly flora to thrive.

 

It is all kind of confusing, but if you take some time to analyze it,

it makes sense.

 

All the best,

You can include blood hypercoagulation problems, which block nutrients and

oxygen from getting into cells, which then function anaerobically.

Hypercoagulation problems can be inherited, but can also be caused by

infections. As people age, hypercoagulation problems become increasingly

common, and are not always detectable on standard blood tests. Hemex

laboratories produces a non-standard blood test that can detect

hypercoagulation problems that don't show up on standard blood tests.

 

Also, some kinds of nutrient deficiencies can contribute to acidosis, such

as not enough B 12, which can affect red blood size, preventing red blood

from circulating effectively through the smaller capillaries, reducing

oxygen in the cells. Iron deficiencies, have a similar effect. Lack of

magnesium and potassium can also contribute to acidosis.

 

Some toxins can be acidifying, such as the ciguatera type toxin found in CFS

which is a sodium channel agonist.

 

Also, lack of exercise can contribute to acidosis, because as you exercise,

your body increases capilaries, and becomes more efficient at using oxygen,

producing less carbon dioxide, which in turn decreases acidosis. But when

you reach a state where lack of exercise is causing problems, the process of

exercising can temporarily increase acidity because of the production of

excess lactic acid when you exercise.
