LHN pH+
Alkaline Enhancer
March, 2008
ACIDOSIS is a scary-sounding word. Perhaps that's because "Acidosis" (too much acid waste in our body), is considered by many researchers to be the basic foundation of all disease. It's a real silent killer. The simple process of alkalizing our body and the important role a properly alkalized body plays in restoring and maintaining our overall health, is paramount in any serious pursuit of wellness. That's because our glands and organs function properly in exact proportion to the amount of alkaline and acid levels in our system. Because of today's environmental pollution, chemical-based farming practices, the air we breath, the water we drink, over-processed, enzyme-dead food, medicinal drugs, stress, vaccinations, etc., it is estimated that eighty to ninety percent of what goes into our body is acid-forming, and this dramatically impacts on the body's pH. The result of this is decay and putrefaction in the colon, which in turn stimulates the formation of dangerous acids that affect cells, organs, glands and body functions.
As we age, because the entire metabolic process becomes progressively more acid, organ tissues begin to show the signs of stress and damage, and disease (dis-ease) becomes the norm. Every sick person is over-acidic, and that's a fact! Scientists have confirmed that healthy people have systems that are alkaline. The overwhelming majority of the rest of us are also over-acidic (perhaps to a lesser degree), and will become sick, in time, unless we act decisively and persistently to counteract this acid condition.
After sixty years of laboratory research, Dr. Gunther Ederlein, noted German scientist and microbiologist, who died in 1968 at the age of 95, is known for his profound discovery connecting pH and chronic illness. According to Dr. Ederlein's research, total healing of a chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. That's important enough to repeat . . . total healing of a chronic illness only takes place when and if the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. pH is the abbreviation for potential hydrogen. The pH of any solution is the measure of its hydrogen-ion concentration. The pH range is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being neutral. 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. Anything above 7.0 is alkaline, and considered to be healthy. Anything below 7.0 is considered acidic, and increasingly less healthy.
The alkaline level is very important because Dr. Ederlein's research also proved that disease cannot survive in an alkaline state, and yet it thrives in an acidic environment. If you have a health problem, you're most likely to be acidic. No matter what type of modality you choose to use to take care of your health problem, it will not be effective until the pH level is up where it should be. Our bodies simply cannot fight disease the way it should if our body pH is not properly balanced. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using available alkaline minerals, even resorting to taking calcium from the bones. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells naturally occurs. Your body pH affects everything. An acidic balance will decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells and to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and the body more susceptible to fatigue and illness.
According to Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, in his 1991 book, ALKALIZE or Die, the impact of acidosis on our bodies is widespread, and is not limited to the following areas:
The heart is one of the most alkaline-dependent organs in the body. Correct heartbeat is altered by acid wastes. These wastes rob the blood of proper oxygenation and degeneration of the heart follows.
Digestive difficulties may indicate vagus nerve problems and possible hiatus hernia syndrome, which can produce acid residue throughout the system, and impact the necessary hydrochloric acid in the stomach, seriously affecting the breakdown of foods.
The liver has over three hundred functions, including processing acid toxins from the blood and producing numerous alkaline enzymes for the system, and is your first line of defense against any poisons. The load on the liver is much heavier when acid waste products areconstantly floating in the blood. If the liver becomes too congested with protein acid wastes, death is imminent.
The pancreas is highly dependent on correct alkaline diet. All aspects of pancreatic function reduce excess acidity and regulate blood sugar balance. To have proper blood sugar balance, you must maintain a primarily alkaline-forming diet. Approximately 1 liter of blood per minute passes through adult kidneys, whose primary duty it is to keep the blood alkaline, and extract acid.
Kidneys that are over-stressed with too much acidity create kidney stones. By reducing acid-forming products from entering the body, the chances are better that you can avoid this painful condition.The colonmust be kept clean of accumulated acid wastes. Poisons collect on the colon walls, and in cases of diarrhea or constipation will harden and reabsorb into the bloodstream.
There are 600-700 lymph glands in the body. Lymph fluid carries nutrition to the cells and removes acid waste products. Lymph fluid flows best in an alkaline environment. When the body is overly acidic, it slows, creating one of the most chronic, long-term, life-threatening situations. Hindered lymph flowi ncreases unhealthy tissue acid storage.
Have you ever been so upset with someone or something that you get an upset stomach? All negative emotions create an acidic environment. Have you ever heard anyone say you are letting your problems "eat away at you" or "get the best of you"?
Fear is the underlining cause of most disease. It will undermine your life and your health. Fear causes anger. Anger causes hate. Hate will consume you with continual suffering. Love and understanding go a longway toward healing the body, creating an alkaline environment within you.
Let's talk about cancer for a moment. There are two factors that are ALWAYS present with cancer, no matter what else may be present. Those two factors are acidic pH and lack of oxygen. Terminal cancer patients are always many times more acidic than normal healthy people. The normal human cell has a lot of molecular oxygen and a slightly alkaline pH. Conversely, the cancer cell has an acid pH and lack of oxygen.
pH + is the perfect companion supplement to O2+. Together they effectively address the two critical elements in chronic illness, an acid pH and lack of oxygen. If pH is really important to good health, then pH+ is essential to establishing and maintaining pH balance in your body. pH+ capsules contain minerals, herbs, enzymes and other nutraceuticals. It is not available in stores or by mail order. To learn more about pH+, or to place an order, get back to the person who directed you to this website.2+
