Deep Vein Thrombosis and PH

There is increasingly greater scientific evidence that body pH and free radical capacity is one of the greatest indicators of health ever known. It all started in 1935 when Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Prize for discovering the lack of oxygen as the cause of most diseases, particularly cancer.

Since then oxygen capacity and its related issues have been at the forefront of some of the most brilliant research to date. One of the major components of the health equation is pH. When diet, lifestyle and drinking habits combine into a net acidic gain, the pH of the tissues and the surrounding fluids will drop, along with the capacity to carry oxygen. Because the blood feeds the tissues and removes the waste and toxins, it tries to remove some of the metabolic acids from the body fluids and tissues. As a result the blood pH begins to drop which signals the body's natural buffering capabilities to kick in. The body draws alkaline minerals from the bones, organs and teeth to keep the blood as close to 7.365 as possible.
One of the most dangerous environments for the blood is flying, especially long flights at high altitudes.

Most people have an acidic lifestyle where they do not consume enough alkaline forming foods and beverages as a dietary choice. There is something about green things with leaves that repels people. As a result they are in a constant tug of war with the pH balance.

Combine the drop in pH which makes the red blood cells sticky and clump together from the air quality in planes, with the inactivity of sitting for long periods and you have a potentially lethal mix.

The air in older aircraft comes into the cabin interior by blowing over the motors and then inside. There doesn't seem to be any data available as to the content of carbon dioxide in the incoming air. Reports show that newer models of aircraft have improved air quality, but again there is no easily accessible imperical data.

CO2 is acidic and because it is transported by the blood, the blood becomes sticky and forms rolls, like stacks of coins called rouleaux. This is seen during a live-blood microscopy examination. When the red blood cells stick together in rouleaux or other clumping styles, they cannot flow through the capillaries and release oxygen to the cells. The blood cells can even get stuck in these small vessels forming blood clots. Larger blood clots can also form in larger blood vessels by this same stacking and clumping action. Aside from body terrain acidity, rouleaux blood can result from poor protein metabolism and leaky gut syndrome.

Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deeper, larger vein and is much more serious. Chronic, inappropriate dietary habits, combined with inactivity and possible increased CO2 levels provide a ripe avenue for sticky blood that has the potential to form serious blood clots.

Arterial blood is pumped by the heart and by special valves in the blood vessels to get the blood throughout the arterial system as quickly as possible. Venous blood return happens primarily by muscle action, by activity. The muscles, by moving, squeeze the blood along the veins towards the heart. As the blood is pushed along, one-way valves prevent the blood from sliding back too far. When you are very still, some of your venous blood can be more sluggish and tends to pool in the legs and feet. Many hours on an aircraft with sticky blood and very little movement is a recipe for cold extremities, fatigue, inability to concentrate and of course, blood clots or thromboses.

More acidic blood is also an opportunity for virus, bacteria, mold, fungus and yeast to thrive. Blood at its natural 7.365 is ideal for keeping your immune system alert and efficient. How many times have you contracted an illness after a flight? Chronic low level acidosis, as it is called, makes chronic body terrain acidity, the beginnings of chronic disease and ideal for blood clots to form.

Because everything in the body is either positively or negatively charged, we can see where the alteration of the electrical charge caused by an acidic state of the red blood cell membranes causes them to get sticky and clump together. The process actually creates more problems than just blood clots. It is much more difficult to transfer oxygen, carbon dioxide and metabolic acids, and to biologically transform into new cells.

We can use this information to reverse this acidic body terrain by using a specific strategy, particularly for a few days before you fly. Ideally your body terrain should be slightly alkaline through your lifestyle choices, including alkaline, ionized water with a pH of 8.0 to 9.5, depending on what your urine pH is. It should be 6.9.

If you don't "do" alkaline on a regular basis, then there is a solution, particularly before you fly. Because a thrombosis is caused by lowered antioxidant levels (the capacity of oxygen to eradicate free radicals), I suggest that you try the following recipe. If you already have phlebitis or you are prone to blood clots, you will notice it may take a couple of weeks to notice improvement in your condition.

Choose lemon or lime, whichever you prefer. You will need enough fresh lemons or limes to make 8 teaspoons of juice. Put the ingredients into a 12 ounce glass in the following order. Fill the glass half full of water (6 ounces). Add 8 teaspoons of fresh lemon OR lime juice. Add ¼ to ½ teaspoonful of baking soda and stir until the baking soda dissolves. DO NOT REMOVE THE FROTHING. Drink this mixture twice per day for a few days before your flight and a few days after your return. If you fly regularly, you can add this to your routine, while at the same time monitoring your urine pH with pH strips designed for this purpose, bought from a health food store.

This solution has the alkalinity and the Vitamin C for antioxidants that conditions your blood and makes it easier to keep it in a vital state and improving its ability to carry and dispose of oxygen, CO2 and dietary and metabolic acids. Alternatively, you can ask for club soda with a slice of lemon on the flight. Cheers and happy flying!By E. Jean Perrins

Acidic Foods - Why To Stay Away From Most Acidic Foods

In this present time the workload of people has increased and so have the stress levels. Therefore, it has become mandatory to eat the right kind of food, which provides high energy and reduces stress. It is always said that the right food always keeps a person stay fit and healthy.
The food that we eat is digested and broken down into either acid or an alkaline end-product in our tissues. This end-product is named as ash and this is what remains in the body after the food has been broken down.
Our body needs both types of food. However, alkaline forming food should be predominantly used instead of acid forming food. Acidic food items are those that contain little or no oxygen.
Acidic food items that are just naturally high-acid food include:

• sweets
• beverages like tea and coffee
• jams, jellies, and marmalades
• fruits
• butters
• most tomatoes

Other foods that are also considered high-acid food because their ingredients have vinegar or critic acid include:

• salsas
• pickles
• saurkrauts
• relishes
• chutney

An acidic pH can occur from an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload or any process which deprives the cells of oxygen. The body will try to compensate by using alkaline minerals.
A high amount of acidic food can decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients. It also decreases its ability to repair damaged cells, makes it more fatigued and illness prone. If a person has a blood pH of 6.9, it can be termed as acidic and can induce coma and cause death.
Therefore alkalizing the body fluid is one of the indispensable health regeneration benefits available because disease causing microforms such as fungi, bacteria, virus, cancer, etc. cannot survive in an alkaline oxygenated body. Thus, one of the best things we can do to correct an overly acidic body is to change our diet and switch to alkaline forming foods.
It has been observed that to maintain health, the diet should consist of 60% alkaline forming foods and 40% of acid forming foods. In case a person is suffering from illness or diseases, he must consume 80% of alkaline forming foods and 20% of acid forming foods.
Alkaline forming foods include most fruits, green veggies, peas, beans, lentils, spices, herbs and seasonings. It contains high amounts of vitamins and nutrients which helps body to fight with diseases and illness. Thus, a person should always eat right to stay healthy, protected and active.By Brad P Yantzi

PH Blood Balance and Cancer

Cancer is recognised as the leading cause of death in the main developed countries, with an estimated 12.7 million cases and 7.6 million deaths worldwide in 2008.

Why is it, that despite the billions of dollars invested into Cancer Research every year, "Modern Medicine" has not yet been able to produce anything to effectively treat cancer?

"Is the American Cancer Society more interested in cancer profit than cancer prevention?"

This is the question that was posed in a recent article that went on to show that Cancer agencies reportedly put a far greater financial and profit emphasis on chemotherapy and radiation research than on life-saving prevention techniques. In addition it appears that "Modern Medicine" and "Big Pharma" invest a lot of money and effort to discredit any doctors or healthcare practitioners that either research or practice effective alternative medicine cancer treatments.

It is interesting to note that R. Webster Kehr of the Independent Cancer Research Foundation. Inc., and author of the highly respected Cancer Tutor Web site, covers over 300 natural successful cancer treatments, many of which address the pH Blood Balance & Cancer process.

Contrary to claims made by "Modern Medicine", the cause of cancer is easy to understand and is preventable and reversible without the dangerous "modern medicine" therapies used as standard treatments in most countries. These aggressive and toxic treatments are based on the American standard cancer treatment which include, - Surgery (slash), Radiation (burn) and Chemotherapy (poison).

Elaine Feuer, the author of "Innocent Casualties" argues, "Instead of allotting money towards the prevention of cancer, the medical establishment prescribes chemotherapy and radiation (which is very expensive and even toxic)".

Samuel S. Epstein, author of "The Politics of Cancer", argues that the American Cancer Society 's "priorities remain fixated on damage control - screening, diagnosis and treatment".

Although these processes are important the primary focus for all of us should be to prevent cancer.

This is where balancing the blood's pH becomes absolutely critical. Lets first understand what pH Balance is all about.

Acidic-Alkaline pH Balance

It is very important to have a chemical balance between acid and alkaline conditions, both in the blood and in the body tissues. However, with the acidic "Modern Lifestyles" that most of us live, body tissues become too acidic very easily, and this acidic imbalance creates the ideal internal conditions for disease and especially cancer, to thrive. This acid/alkaline relationship is known as pH.

pH(potential hydrogen) is a measure of the "acidity" or "alkalinity" of a solution.

The pH scale is from 1 to 14 with 7 being neutral and 1 to 7 being acidic (low on oxygen) and 7-14 being alkaline (high on oxygen). Remember oxygen is critical to the well being of the cells and the prevention of disease.

The pH of the body has a profound effect on the inner terrain of the body and the pH of the blood and the tissues should ideally be 7.365 which will result in long lasting health and wellness.

The Cause of Cancer

It is interesting to note that in the 1930's, Nobel Prize Winner Dr Otto Warburg, established in his research that cancer only lives in an "acidic" (low oxygen) environment like most bacteria. Every time Otto Warburg lowered the oxygen level by 35% in a healthy cell, it became cancerous.

Based on his work he found that cancer cells cannot survive in high levels of oxygen (alkaline pH) and that increased amounts of oxygen prevented the spread of cancer cells and will eventually cause them to die.

Subsequently, Robert Barefoot established that at a pH slightly above 7.4 cancer cells become dormant and at a pH of 8.5 cancer cells will die.

Acidosis

As you have seen, "ACIDOSIS" is the prime cause of cancer. So!, it is important for you to fully understand the process of alkalizing your body and the critical role a properly alkalized body plays in restoring and maintaining your overall health. Everything in our bodies, from cells to organs only function properly in exact proportion to the amount of alkaline and acid levels in our system.

Health and Wellness through balancing your pH

I hope this short simplified explanation will enable you to start making the necessary changes to your lifestyle to prevent you from getting cancer.
