Alkaline or Die?

Who made up this myth? Lol….There’s a lot of misinformation out there about Acid/ Alkaline. Everyone is too Acidic and all disease comes from being too acidic….The alkaline diet comes from people living on acid. Everyone is over acidified. In that condition then we need to apply heavy akaine substances so we can gain baance. Nobody teaches us that’s its about BALANCE therefore people live this myth. There are people who have a condition where they can’t produce hydrochoric acid to breakdown the food in their stomach. Acids are a crucial part of the body and I come to dig in the truth!
In chemistry class you probaby heard words like the potential hydrogen level. Well instead of getting complicated just know that pH is the measure of acid & alkaline. It goes from a scale of 1 to 14 with a neutral being 7. When the pH goes down, it’s more acid and when it goes higher than a 7, it’s more alkaline. Now when people talk alkaline and the pH goes from a 7 to a 8, it’s calculated in powers of 100, it’s not going up one number but ir’s being magnified by 100.
The reference point of pH is in the blood. In other words the body will do all it can to maintain the blood at a certain constant level. That range in level is slightly alkaline at 7.345- 7.45, if it drops to a 6, then you will be in a coma. When people ask about pH, make sure they know what body fluid they are talking about. Every body part has a different pH. Your stomach is between 1-3, almost like battery acid. The adrenal glan is acid. The large bowel is 5.5. Urine is acid. Sweat is slightly acid. Your tears are alkaline. The fluid in your brain is alkaline and your pancreatic fluid is alkaline.
My Research:
For example look at a wild dog. They can eat meat that has been rotting for two eeks and they don’t get sick. Dogs produce stomach acid 10 times higher than humans do and its the acid that kills the pathogens.
Candida actually thrives in an alkaline enviroment. For example, when women takes antibiotics they end up with yeast infection. Why? Because the antibiotic kills off the flora that generates the acid to control the Candida. In an acidic enviroment, the candida growth gene is turned off.
You notice if you don’t brush your teeth, plaque will build up and that’s acid from eating acid forming bacteria. Soon as you brush your teeth your pH changes because your salivary pH is alkaline.
People also say cancer can not survive in an Alkaline enviroment…As I have done my research I found out that a cancer patient’s urine is always alkaline when it should be acidic. In fact, the internal pH of a cancer cell is more alkaline than a healthy cell. Cancer cells do not generate lactic acid, they generate lactate which is alkaline.
The two condition comes to mind when thinking of pH are called Alkalosis and Acidosis, they are rare condition because the body has so many redundant systems to maintain its pH. Both can kill you….Drink antifreeze and you will have Acidosis. If you consume anti acids like tums or rolaids with some milk, you will have Alkalosis.
In closing, this alkaline water you can say if you are drinking this for too long, you can develop symptoms. These symptoms are not errors, they are not mistakes. They are the body’s way to react to something wrong. When your body is too alkaline, you don’t absorb minerals. Remember, minerals are made up of acids and bases. And if the foods you are accustomed to eating is too acid and goes through the intestines, it can burn a whole through and we call that an Ulcer. People crave sweets more when they are too alkaline because they have low potassium and calcium.
We are to maintain balance, Ma’at. If you are fighting a infectious disease then obviously you need to become more alkaline then once the condition is eliminated then maintain balance. Simple as that. Your body does not want to be Alkaline or Acid, It wants balance!
Thanks for reading.
