Recently, I was talking to Charles Marble, a friend and colleague,

about the organic farm industry in Naples. He said everything

natural about organic farming is derived from the balance between

acids and alkalinity in the soil.

 

Where I live, the soil is generally determined to be quite

alkaline. What I found interesting was the fact that when the soil

is properly balanced, insects cannot thrive and are not drawn to

plants.

 

I found this interesting because the same is true for us. What we

call the biological terrain, or soil, must also be balanced.

 

Normal acid pH is around 6.8 and anything lower is considered

acidic, which by most

standards, is our nature. Above 7.6 is alkaline. At 7.0 pH is

totally neutral, like good water.

 

No one is ever totally neutral, as our system cannot function in a

neutral state. However, if one checks some of the

key 'experts' (Dr Jenson, Dr Bodine, Dr Cayce, Dr Phiefer, Dr Jinks,

etc), you will find they recommend the body be 'slightly' alkaline.

 

The stomach is the only part of the body that is always acidic

(hydrochloric acid), while the remainder of the bodily fluids are

optimally alkaline.

 

Too much acid, or too many alkaline reactions can cause tissue

damage. Blood, spinal fluid and saliva are rarely alkaline, but the

stool, liver bile, pancreas or gall bladder bile can

be either acidic or alkaline (the range for these organs and glands

is broader).

 

But, when they become acidic, the imbalance begins and the

parasites' establish a foothold, creating stress on the system.

 

Hyperacidic tendencies and symptoms include cold sores, herpes,

arthritis, rheumatic conditions, parasites, candida, insomnia,

headaches and migraines, water retention, bladder infections,

constipation or diarrhea, teeth sensitivity, burning sensations,

ulcers (also bacteria

related), hypotension, stress, cravings for certain foods,

allergies, asthma, skin disorders of all types and gastric problems.

 

There are more ailments related to acidosis, but this gives you a

general idea about the long reaching effects of excess acidity.

 

The terrain of the body requires frequent tweaking to maintain

balance and health and when acids continue to build up over time,

they create a foothold for illnesses and a soil that sustains this

imbalance.

There are a variety of ways we can start to re-balance our pH,

including diet, supplements,Hydrotherapy, Homeopathy and Herb's.

 

 

First, the food list.

These are alkaline producing foods for excess acidity:

 

Uma Boshi Plum paste ( make a soup or tea); Miso soup; avocados;

pure maple syrup; raw honey; most fresh fruits

(except cranberry,plums and prunes), vinegar, lemons, eggplant,

millet,and dates. There are a variety of books available to assist

in determining which foods are best suited for your particular

needs.

 

Supplements:

The amino acid L-Glutamine; MSM; Increased potassium and phosphorus;

Combination B complex with a minimum of 100mg per B and 800mcg of

folic acid; Primadophilus, HSO (homeostatic soil organisms),

Microhydrin

(a hydrogen based powder for cleaning the blood); combination amino

acid for cell rejuvenation; Pancreatic glandular, taken every other

day;

 

Multi enzyme, preferably, food based; Anti-oxidants, such as Alpha

lipoic acid, grape seed extract, green tea, Olive leaf extract

and Vitamin E.

 

Hydrotherapy:

Baths can both cleanse and rejuvenate. Start every other day, with

weekends off. Drink plenty of distilled water after the bath and try

to

have the bath as hot as possible to open the pores and allow the

bath ingredients to penetrate.

 

Do these separately, not combined.

Baking soda/Epsom salts, about one pound of each; apple cider

vinegar, about 2 cups; hydrogen peroxide, about 2 pints; Bath salts

or cleansing salts,available from any health food store; castor oil,

rubbed thoroughly into the liver area, the kidney/adrenal area,

thymus area, stomach and abdomen, just before entering the bath.

 

Also, there are numerous companies that sell wonderful bath products

with an abundance of herbs for cleansing.

 

Homeopathy:

Homeopathy addresses deep seated disharmonies from the perspective

of the person, not just their symptoms, so giving a remedy for

hyperacidity will rarely cover the underlying cause.

 

The following remedies have been known to aid acid excesses and

should be used only for ACUTE problems: Consult a Homeopath for

additional remedies.

 

1. Robinia: everything turns to acid; burning sensation with

regurgitation of acids with severe sharp pains and vomiting.

 

2. Natrum Phosphoricum: belching after food; sour vomiting; very

sensitive individual with a delicate/refined nature.

 

3. Hydrastis: strong affinity to mucus membranes; indigestion;

belches

sour fluids; pulsating symptoms.

 

4. Iris Versicolor: burning sensations along entire alimentary

canal;

vomits sour or bloody vile; nausea; profuse saliva.

 

5. Nux Vomica: indigestion; heartburn all symptoms relate to

overdoing

or excess (alcohol/food/drugs/etc.); sensitive to pressure in

stomach;

liver remedy with anger, irritability and impatience; type A.

 

6. Sulphuric Acid: fatigue; nervous but keeps going; irritability at

minor things; sour vomiting and belching; vomits mucus, not food;

nausea and chilliness.

 

Herbs:

Alfalfa; Aloe vera; Cramp Bark; Garlic; Ginger; Slippery

Elm; Parsley; Peppermint; Cornsilk;

 

These are best taken in single doses, liquid form, about 40 drops,

once a day. Taking all of them is unnecessary, and you may need to

experiment to determine the ones that work best.

 

You will generally notice relief of symptoms within a few weeks, but

don't overdo this experimentation

without consulting a health care practitioner who has knowledge of

Herb's and their relationship to medications.

 

You can easily determine your pH balance by purchasing nitrazine

paper

at a health food store or pharmacy. The paper changes color and

indicates an acid or alkaline state. Best to take this test before

eating, using two strips, one for saliva and the other for urine.

 

By re-establishing balance in your system, you can eliminate the

insects that create illness and provide a soil that repels further

infestations.

 

Why harbor unwanted disease. We can't tolerate pH imbalance in our

swimming pools, why do so in our body.
