Balance pH Levels Best Home Remedies To Balance pH levels! Part 6 http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/pH.html READER QUESTION 3/3/2007: Stefan from Denver, CO writes, "I am amazed that a Doctor can promote creating an acidic state in the body. It has been proven unequivically that you should maintain a PH balance of 7.35/6/7 To deviate from this is extremely dangerous, your body is far more susceptible to germs and disease. Did anyone actually read and research these statements before publishing." Earth Clinic replies: Stefan, there are no doctors on this site, only readers and an independent health contributor from Bangkok (Ted), who is NOT a doctor! Ted replies, "Dear Stefan: Biological terrain is an old field but is quite well accepted in Europe and there are many practitioners, but it is basically unknown in U.S. except quite possibly at www.biomedx.com, located in Chicago, Illinois, which is a firm specializing in selling equipments related to biological terrain field. Many biochemicals become a free radicals whenever the blood or urine is not within the range near the values of blood pH. For example, a vitamin C can be a prooxidant, or an antioxidant depending on the pH. A sodium nitrite compound produced by the brain's cells called glial cells becomes possibly unstable to form a powerful free radical peroxynitrite, or its half life gets shortened in presence of acidity, and therefore causes high blood pressure due to reduced half life of sodium nitrite compound in blood acidity. The sheer number of biological chemicals that goes against you in presence of acidity are many it is beyond this small email I can answer. It is best that the body's blood operates in pH of 7.35 or quite narrow area. If it is off by only 0.5 pH you just die almost instantly. Whenever urinary pH is below 7, basically, to an extreme acidity such as 4-5 for example, basically the kidneys get digested in presence of high acid. So even if you don't think pH is worthwile, at least it is a good measure that the kidney be protected from extreme acidity. I used this alkalinity basically to restore normal blood pressure by extending or at least preventing degradation of the body's natural sodium nitrite (which controls pH) by the use of buffers so that the sodium nitrite once it is not degraded as quickly allow for more stable and more normal blood pressure as it increases the body's nitric oxide efficiency in use in your body. At least, in presence of alkalinity buffer that peroxynitrite does not form is even one area of anti aging research which shows potential, at least they do found this presence to be high in cataract individuals. Therefore, alkalinity is one of the many ways one can reduce free radical either coming from a simple vitamin C (prooxidant in acidity) or peroxynitrite, as well as others. I was one of the few to use alkalinity to help the body's resistance against disease in early 1970s, but today, at least in the late 1980s to 1990s that many researchers have finally caught on that acidity is an important issue for normal biochemical processes and disease. As to what pH values is best for you the simplest answer would be, what works for you the best. The range are just simple ballpark figures that you can try to see if it works for you or not. You can refer to many present researchers such as Dr. Carey Reams, or websites such as www.biomedx.com, forum discussion groups on Biological Terrain, RBTI and many more. One of the earliest proponents of alkalizing is actually Edgar Cayce, who treated thousands of patients psychically and many of his holistic therapy approach is now quite well known. There is even a best selling research books on treatment of diabetes, weight loss, and other topics by Dr. Robert O. Young, and other researchers in the field that supports various alkalization, such as the use of potassium bicarbonate among others, and even a handbook guide on what foods to eat to get pH alkalization. The list of references and bibliography is by the thousands and this website only deals with remedies that you are best to do further research of this work at www.pubmed.org or other similar website that deals in much greater details in the field of biochemistry than Earth Clinic can ever deal with. Ted" READER QUESTION 12/16/2006: Cindy from Salem, OR writes, "What makes the body high alkaline? Could this be the lack of bicaronate to balance things out?" Ted replies, "Cindy: It is either too much or too little of certain minerals. Ascorbic acid, phosphates, iodine, for example will help. Taking some baking soda will help buffer things out, but it is necessary that the dose for this issue be 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda plus 1/4 teaspoon of citric acid. It will at least remove certain offending metals. It is the lack of stomach acids, lack of chlorides, lack of iodine, phosphates, and sulfates. It is too much of certain alkaline forming heavy metals such as rubidium, cesium, calcium, magnesium, barium, beryllium, strontium, potassium, sodium, lithium, for example. The easiest way is to get some hair mineral analysis and find the offending metals, or get urine mineral analysis to see what the body is dumping. In certain instance heavy metal toxicity can bought about very high alkaline conditions or very high acid conditions. In which case if that is true, oral disodium EDTA, where 1/8 teaspoon is mixed in 1 liter of water should help remove whatever free radical metals that are present in some instances. Usually eating bread and meats will often quickly raise the pH. However, I cannot answer more than this since I have no idea at all what is your dietary habits, which I cannot conclude much. It must be noted that taking certain doctors meds can also cause very high alkaline or even acid conditions too. Ted" READER QUESTION 12/2/2006: Michelle from Sweet Home, OR writes, "I have been experiencing very high alkaline ph (8.0) Can you tell me the best way to treat this. It seems that my muscles get very achy when I am too alkaline. I have tried taking 1-2 tsp. of ascorbic acid and that helps." Ted replies, "Michelle: Yes ascorbic acid helps increase the body's acidity as it is acid forming, while sodium ascorbate is alkaline forming. Y ou seem to have a very unusual diet or contaminant. Basically the food is lacking in acid forming food, such as lack of chloride, iodine, bromine, sulfates, for example. While your diet may be too much of the alkaline forming food very high in sodium, magnesium, calcium and other similar metals. In some cases certain heavy metals of alkaline forming metals are involved, so it could also be a contaminant. So the easiest thing I can imagine in your case is to eat bread, do iodine painting, and eat sulfur rich foods. Iodine and bromine for example are generally acid forming. Taking chlorides, such as salt are generally acid forming especially the common table salt. Assuming of course that the urinary pH is alkaline. But if it is too much phosphates the opposite might occur to cause alkaline mouth conditions. This is why the need to check both figures. Some minerals that may stabilize the pH includes molybdenum which may help. But before jumping to conclusions it is best to get an electronic pH meter just to be sure and check both urinary pH and salivary pH. The pH paper is quite often off and tends to go on the alkaline. Generally for muscles and aches, eating sunflower seeds might do it and maybe just the pH paper is off. So trying a simple sunflower seeds is one easy way to test. Ted" READER QUESTION 11/20/2006: David from San Jose, CA writes, "Hello Ted, I have been working with my pH, and following your advice, I am really getting better! A few questions have come to mind I have not, as yet, seen addressed: 1) What do you think of that new Japanese Calcium called 3A Calcium, with is a combination of Calcium hydroxide and Calcium Oxide? 2) What do you think of Magnesium Hydroxide vs other kinds of magnesium for helping supply magnesium, and to adjust pH, and with the least amount of stomach troubles? Hope you find these questions of value, and thanks for your time." Ted replies, "Dear David: 1) What do you think of that new Japanese Calcium called 3A Calcium, with is a combination of Calcium hydroxide and Calcium Oxide? A good product should have some calcium and some magnesium, but the preferred form is those that buffers your pH against extremes. This seemed to be too alkaline and does not buffer. A better form is actually in the form of bicarbonates, such as magnesium bicarbonate, calcium bicarbonate, or potassium bicarbonate. It helps your pH to be stable enough within a narrow range instead of going between too low or too high of a pH. If we really want to be fair, mineral compounds should closely resemble that of the body's electrolyte solution which is made up of mostly salt, bicarbonate, magnesium, calcium, and phosphate. The ideal ratio is about 1:1 for magnesium and calcium, but our diets are already too high in calcium as it is, so I never really recommend them at all, so magnesium would be something to consider. 2) What do you think of Magnesium Hydroxide vs other kinds of magnesium for helping supply magnesium, and to adjust pH, and with the least amount of stomach troubles? Usually they cause stomach troubles because you are taking far too much. If you follow the instructions as per directions, they were designed to cause stomach troubles at that dosage to solve constipation. If I take a magnesium with the least stomach trouble, then magnesium citrate would case the least. Magnesium chloride is quite fine, if you take in small amounts, but this also applies to other form. However, I would prefer magnesium citrate, or magnesium chloride. Taken at only 100-250 mg, and taken not necessarily everyday either, but usually once or twice a week. To adjust the pH, ideally 90% of the solution must be baking soda and 9% is potassium bicarbonate with only a pinch 1% of disodium phosphate. However in practice, this is not possible, so a simpler solution would be to just get a freshly squeezed lemon juice and add baking soda until the fizzing stops, then add water to 1/2 glass of water. The lemon has both potassium, phosphates, calcium, and vitamin C. Best of all lemon is the only formula when alkalized causes the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) to be in the antioxidation of at least less than -100 millivolts to -300 millivolt, depending on the mix. This is quite healthy as nearly all foods are of positive charge, while this formula is the only one that has a negative charge and helps the body recover. Ted" 12/29/2006: David from San Jose writes again: "Hello Ted, Just wanted to tell you I've been following your advice, and my health is improving. Thanks. I am also taking a lot of vitamin C (about 8 grams a day) and I buffer it with baking soda. I was wondering if you have any insights on the best way to take Vitamin C, and keep body-pH in the healthy range." Ted replies, "Yes, vitamin C, if in sodium ascorbate form is 500 mg PLUS sodium bicarbonate 1/4 teaspoon twice a day is the minimum on an empty stomach. Take plenty of water. My dosage is alas, is often on the low side, but still quite effective, but will have a minimum of problems. This is not taken everyday, but usually the range is between 3 days to 5 days out of a week. It MUST BE NOTED that people taking oil pulling who have "healing crisis" is often due to several issues such as the need to add peppermint oil, the need to alkalize more and the need for lecithin in the diet. If those who DO NOT HAVE such healing crisis it means his bodily functions on bicarbonate level, ability to rid of fats, and bacterial/viral toxin overload are minimal. One way to test whether this is a problem is to do oil pulling WITHOUT the sodium ascorbate and baking soda (or lemon + baking soda, or acv + baking soda). There are exceptions such as extreme sickness, as in cancer, for example, which must be taken at least 21 days straight needed to reverse the cancer. There is a story of the late Carey Reams who cured 10,000 people of cancer just using lemon juice only. Of course, I hate to disagree with him on that since I have the ORP (oxidation reduction potential) and lemon MUST be added to the baking soda. Of course, Dr. Carey Reams did experience a lot of people with side effects from his remedy, since he called for more stringent fasting as well as pure lemon. This can take a toll on cancer patients during the healing crisis. Mine has almost none, mine can also use apple cider vinegar and baking soda too. Dr. Carey Reams did make several mistakes in his treatment also such as the use of calcium for alkalization, instead of baking soda, and the use of magnesium. The importance of mammalian solution or ringer's solution and other technical things that is beyond this discussion." |
