pH Balance Equals Life — High Acidity Could Equal R.I.P.!
If you’re one of the tens-of-millions of Americans whose pH balance is too acidic, your body is working hard to neutralize acid and bring you into balance. To do that, it needs certain key minerals that are known to neutralize acid. Sadly, most of us get far too few of these essential minerals — and so your body has no choice but to “borrow” them from organs and tissues where they’re needed.
Essential minerals are stolen away from your heart… your brain… your bones and joints… your muscles and skin… and your lungs, liver and every other organ in your body. And as they begin starving for the minerals they need to function properly, they begin to weaken, function less effectively, and fail.
As newborn babies, we are full of alkaline reserves and our metabolism moves smoothly and cleanly. When we die, we rapidly turn to acid waste. Alkalinity is health, longevity and quality of life. Acidity, in simple terms, means sickness and death.
When I see a patient with chronic symptoms of arthritis, diabetes, emphysema, arteriosclerosis or cancer, I know their tissues and metabolism are running acidic.
A Healthier Diet Means Getting the Acid Out
When researchers compared the healthy diets of Paleolithic man to those of modern man, they found an interesting difference. The biggest factor that has turned us into sickly acid-producing machines is eating too many grains and fattening nutrient-poor foods (like sugar and processed oils) instead of the wild game and vegetable foods1 of our ancestors.

Drinking Water Debate Brings up an Important Health Issue…Body pH
You know, I remember a time when none of us thought anything about drinking a big glass of water straight from the tap in the kitchen. Those of us with relatives living in the country were even used to drinking water straight from a spring. Then came the chlorinating and fluoridating — and eventually many [...]
The Impact of Acid on the Body
Most of us are familiar with acid indigestion, or “heartburn.” However, few of us realize that many Americans have chronic, low-grade acidosis (acid body chemistry) because of what we eat. We are, as a nation, chronically acidic.
And fewer of us realize what a devastating impact acid can have on our bodies.
