Acid is for Your Car Battery..…Not Your Body!
The principle of acid/alkalinity helped me regain my health more than anything else in my entire 39 years of looking for answers. I discovered this 15 years ago, and it changed my health totally. Doing this one simple thing will solve many of your nutritional worries.
Read about the dangers of being too acid and how you can find that balance by changing your diet.
10 Benefits of Having a Balanced Body pH:
- Skin more elastic, youthful
- Deeper more restful sleep
- Abundant physical energy
- Suffer from fewer colds, headaches, flu viruses
- Good digestion
- Less arthritis
- Reduction of candida (yeast) overgrowth
- Won’t support osteoporosis
- Increased mental acuity, mental alertness
- Legal natural high
Did you know that the water fish swim in needs to be the correct pH in to live? Also, plants flourish when the soil is at the right pH level. Life only exists where there’s balance, and your body is totally regulated by pH! Are you too acidic?

- Cracks at the corners of the lips
- Hair is dull with split ends, and falls out
- Hives
- Very pale face
3. Teeth and Mouth Issues:
- Loose teeth
- Teeth sensitive to hot, cold, or acidic foods
- Teeth have a tendency to crack or chip
- Sensitive gums
- Mouth ulcers
- Infections in throat and tonsils
- Tooth nerve pain
4. Eyes, Head and General Body:
- Headaches
- Low body temperature (feels cold)
- Tendency to get infections
- Leg cramps and spasms
- Eyes tear easily, conjunctivitis, inflammation of the eyelids and corneas
5. Nerves and Emotions:
- Low energy; constant fatigue
- Being continually depressed with a loss of joy and enthusiasm

Research and Experts Say:
• A seven-year study conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, on 9,000 women showed that those who have chronic acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss than those who have normal pH levels. Many of the hip fractures among middle-aged women are connected to high acidity caused by a diet rich in animal foods and low in vegetables. - American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
• “The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!” – Dr. Theodore A. Baroody in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die
• “Immune cells that are too acid or too alkaline do not produce antibodies or cytokines (chemical messengers to regulate other immune cells), and they have impaired phagocytosis (the ability to engulf and destroy microbes). As a result, the affected individual becomes susceptible to viral, bacterial, fungal and other infectious microbes as well as cancer,” says Dr. William Lee Cowden
Acid/alkaline imbalance causing disease is not a new concept. In 1933, Dr. William Howard Hay from New York published A New Health Era in which he maintains that all disease is caused by “self-poisoning” due to acid accumulation in the body.
An overly acidic condition weakens the body and can become dangerous. Our body requires a slightly alkaline condition to function well. Blood, for example, needs to be 7.4 pH. A shift in blood pH of just 0.2 could result in death. Obviously, the body does not want to die so it is forced to borrow minerals (calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium) from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acid. A condition of high acidity may go undetected for years, causing the body to suffer prolonged damage.
How Do We Balance Our pH?
Our typical diet consists mostly of acidifying foods (proteins, cereals, sugars). Alkaline foods such as fruits and vegetables are often eaten in much smaller quantities; not enough to neutralize the excess of acidifying foods we consume. Common habits like tobacco, coffee, tea and alcohol are extremely acidifying.
Our body is approximately 20 percent acidic and 80 percent alkaline; it is recommended that we consume approximately 20 percent acidic foods and 80 percent alkaline foods.
The acid in the acid/alkaline balance is not the same as stomach acid. A healthy stomach pH is acidic, which is necessary for digesting food. What we are discussing here is the pH of the body’s fluids, cells and tissues. Also, this is not about lemons and oranges being acidic as they are to begin with. Foods are either acidifying or alkalizing.
