Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD, DSc, ND, formulator of the New Biology Theory of Health and Dis-ease, states: “Excess acidity is a condition that weakens all body systems.” How?
“Excess acidity forces the body to borrow minerals – including sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium -from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and to safely remove it from the body. As a result, the body can suffer severe and prolonged ‘corrosion’ due to high acidity – a condition that may go undetected for years.”
Over-acidity affects virtually every person in Westernized society because of our dietary and lifestyle choices and ecological exposure – resulting in creating our own “internal environment where dis-ease can easily manifest, as opposed to a pH-balanced environment which allows for normal body functions – necessary for the body to resist dis-ease …”
If we have a healthy body, we will manage to maintain sufficient alkaline mineral reserves to meet emergency demands placed on us by stress and poor diet or lifestyle choices.
“However when excess acids must be continually neutralized, our alkaline reserves are depleted, leaving the body in a weakened, dis-ease-prone condition.” The pancreas is one of our body’s organs charged with the awesome responsiblilty to “alkalinize” us … can you start to see how our serious acidosis has overwhelmed our pancreas’ ability to operate effectively, that then results in a state called “diabetes”, a condition which can respond in a natural way toward Health as a result of the proper, needed changes, for all kinds of pre-diabetics and diabetics.
Amazingly and unfortunately, many health practitioners still believe that the body can some how miraculously cope on its own and that our body can still ‘naturally’ balance its pH. It’s not true, for most of us are NOT living in Nature and eating raw foods and herbs. Our self-created truth is so far beyond this ideal.
The Truth – according to Dr Lynda Frassetto, an acid – alkaline researcher from the University of California, is that “we have been forced to turn an evolutionary corner”.Our bodies are so overwhelmed with cellular acid-waste that “We simply do not handle acid waste the way we used to.”This is an awesome statement. What does this mean to you?
Her research, on 1,000 people, shows the huge volume of acid waste which our body is expected “to handle” has instead forced it to take ‘war’ style, drastic action to preserve its strategic mineral reserves – and wisely protect the abilities and cell safety of our kidneys and liver – our major essential detoxifying organs.
Frasetto found we are now ‘stock piling’ acid in fatty deposits rather than eliminating it via the kidneys and liver. This fat-cell enlargement is called “obesity”, but that term hides the real cause and the real source of distress and obscures the real road to Cure.
Increased tissue acid-deposits engender:
___ Obesity
___ Lowered immunity
___ Lack of energy (this may be the real source of “Chronic Fatigue” Syndrome)
___ Other acid-related “named” dis-eases including cancer, diabetes, osteoarthritis, clotting problems, athrosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and many, many more.
From many different disciplines, over centuries, astute and logical scientists and practitioners have made the latent tissue acidosis “connection” as the creator of dis-ease in our body’s internal Bio-Terrain.
People as diverse as Edgar Cayce, Dr. William Howard Hay, MD and modern researcher Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, ND, author of “Alkalinize or Die”, along with Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD, Dsc, ND are trying to alert us to what is actually killing us and causing untold needless suffering.
Simple changes in food choice and lifestyle can reap amazing rewards. I have watched Dr. Young and his wife Shelley Redmond Young grow healthier and healthier before my eyes, and just GLOW with Health — even as they age and take on the quixotic “stresses” of trying to inculcate such a huge change in biological thinking for the ordinary person to use to regain their Health.
According to renowned researcher, Sang Whang, author of “Reverse Aging”, “even if we eat the best of organic fruit and vegetables, 97% of our food still consists of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen, which will still be reduced to acid waste” as the end product of our natural metabolic processes.
Sang Wang says that ‘it is not what we put into our bodies, it is what stays in our bodies as waste that creates our over-acidic condition and what causes us to age prematurely’.
Sang Whang also states regarding acid/alkaline balance, the only difference between ‘good’ food and ‘bad food’ is that ‘good’ food will have less acid waste residue after metabolism and therefore, be more acid neutralizing as a result. “Your pH balance depends on what is left after metabolism.”
Dr. Robert O. Young, Ph.D. in his book, “The pH Miracle” states: “Those willing to look again, and with clear eyes, will be rewarded with the secrets to permanent health. We can heal ourselves by changing the environment inside our bodies …”
Are you ready? Do you have to be broadsided by full-blown diabetes, cancer, heart disease and on and on before you will act in your own Health interest? Real Health can no longer be assumed or taken for granted, even if you were given a healthy beginning.
Our society’s habits, insistence on rote adulation of false health models and theory and surely, increasingly overwhelming stress, are literally eating us alive.
We have some very core changes to make. Dr. Young’s 3 books give guidelines and strategies.
First and foremost is simplify your life so you can de-stress and learn to laugh and relax.
Second, learn which foods build Health and which don’t. Some may surprise you!
Third, learn the importance of the correct waters we need to combat acidosis and the forms of healthy salt. Both alkaline water and specific salts must be ingested daily, in order for you to reach your goal of true Health by neutralizing the over-acidity in your body with potent alkalinizing foods and habits.
Learn why the wrong amount and type of exercise can really hurt you, biochemically.
Please start the Journey. If you are young, you may be able to run-the-gauntlet fairly quickly and regain then maintain your health.
If you already have a named “dis-ease” – any of the ones named above and hundreds more, then you need this process to start immediately. The amount of time you need to return to alkaline pH is totally individual, but you will start to see or feel some benefit a few months into the regimen. You have LOTS of acid to try to get rid of safely. Things can’t be rushed or you will likely have a Herxheimer “healing reaction”, which can be unpleasant, but usually is not threatening.
As you alkalinize, you will see any excess weight disappear of its own accord, as your body brings out the acids from the white fat cells, which have truly saved-your-life. And your brown fat cells, are the most potent cells to burn calories, if you have maintained enough of them to be metabolically significant. Bless your fat cells, steadfast little guardian soldiers that they are.
Best to all — Em
