Your Mouth Is Killing You



Yes! I said it. Your mouth is killing you. We are always told to eat more fruits and vegetables but many of us don’t follow these simple instructions.

 I was reading a book about how we could achieve optimum health and the author, Jon Barron, who’s one of the world’s foremost authorities in cutting edge nutritionals, member of the advisory board of Health Sciences  explained into details why it’s necessary for you and I to eat more fruits and vegetable (ALKALINIZE OUR BODY) so as to live a healthy lifestyle; live longer, look younger while we get stronger. 

Just read this portion of his book, Lessons From The Miracle Doctors, Chapter 13: Cleansing Your Liver and Blood, Page 117, and if you find this portion interesting, just let me know and I’ll send you the full ebook of this outstanding health book. The power to live a healthy lifestyle is in our hands. So, let’s TAKE BACK OUR HEALTH. 

Balancing PH
Jon Barron says:

Our bodies function in a very narrow range of acid/alkaline balance (pH). Our blood in particular is sensitive to these changes. Ideally, blood pH should be slightly alkaline at about 7.45. If it varies by even as little as a few tenth of a point, severe illness and death may result. Unfortunately, most of the food we eat is highly acidic (meat, dairy, soda, alcohol, cooked grains). In the end, it becomes too much for the bodies to handle. If we don’t correct the problem by “alkalinizing” the body, disease, sickness and death are the inevitable results. 

What is pH? It’s simply the measurement f the acid/alkaline balance of anything.

·         On the pH scale, water is neutral and rates a 7.0 on the scale.

·         Acids (such as hydrochloric acid and citric acid) are rated as numbers less than 7.0. The further away from 7.0 the number is, the stronger the acid. Cow’s milk at 6.5 is slightly acidic; soft drinks at 3.0 are strongly acidic; and stomach acid at 1.5 is highly acidic.

·         Alkaline substances include everything that rate above 7.0 on the pH scale. Again, as with acids, the further away from 7.0 the number, the more the alkaline the substance. Blood at 7.45 is slightly alkaline; pancreatic juice in your intestines is strongly alkaline at 8.0 and baking soda at 12.0 is highly alkaline.

Your body has a whole bunch of different pHs that it has to maintain. Your saliva is slightly alkaline. Your stomach is strongly acidic. Your intestines are strongly alkaline. Your urine is acid. But all of the pH’s in your body, the most crucial is your blood. 

 If your blood pH deviates even 5/10ths of a point from its normal pH of 7.45, death is likely. Considering the importance of pH to the body, it’s well worth discussing a little further how it affects the body, and how we can help maintain the proper pH levels in our own bodies.

The importance of pH really boils down to two things:

1.       Enzymes. We’ve already discussed the importance of enzymes. They control every single metabolic function in our bodies, and they are integral to our immune system. As it says in Anatomy and Physiology by Anthony and Thibodeau, “Enzymes function optimally at a specific pH and become inactive if this deviates beyond narrow limits.”

2.       Oxygen. Every cell in your body require oxygen for life—and to maintain optimum health. To put it simply, the more acid the blood the less oxygen is available for use by the cells. Without going into a discussion of the chemistry involved, just understand that it’s the same mechanism involved when acid rain “kills” a lake. The fish literally suffocates to death because the acid in the lake “binds up” all of the available oxygen. It’s not that the oxygen has gone anywhere; it’s just no longer available. 

    Conversely, if you raise the pH of the lake, oxygen is now available and the lake comes back to life. Incidentally it’s worth noting that cancer is related to an acid environment (lack of oxygen). The higher the pH (the more oxygen present in the cells of the body), the harder it is for cancer to thrive.

The bottom line is that a balanced pH is vital. An extended pH imbalance of any kind threatens our well-being—threatens, in fact our very lives. Managing the pH balance of all of our bodily fluids is so important that our bodies have developed systems to monitor and balance acid-alkaline levels in every cell and biosystem.

What affects pH in our bodies

As I just mentioned, our bodies have developed a system for maintaining pH balance in all of our body fluids. To understand this system better, we need to take a look at what changes pH (usually making it more acid), and how our bodies respond to that change.

·         When they are metabolized, carbohydrates, proteins, and fats produce various acids in our bodies. Proteins produce sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. Carbohydrates and fats produce acetic acid and lactic acid. Since these acids are poisonous to the body, they must be eliminated. Unfortunately, they can’t be eliminated through the kidneys or large intestines as they would damage these organs. 

§  Acid-Forming Foods
All meats, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy, cooked grains, and refined sugars. (Note: probably at the top of the list in the human diet is soda pop. Not only is it high in refined sugar, which is highly acid forming in and of itself, but most soda pop contains a large amount of phosphoric acid—not to mention carbon dioxide (an end product of the acid neutralization process) .

§  Alkaline-Forming Foods
Only fresh fruits and vegetables are alkaline-forming and help your body maintain a proper pH. (Note: even though citrus fruits are highly acidic, your body threats them as alkaline so that they are highly effective alkalinizers.)

·         Since the body cannot eliminate acids through the kidneys, the way it handles them is to neutralize them with the minerals sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium. Of these calcium is the most important. Now, here is the key to the whole deal, your body makes use of a priority system if there are not enough available minerals to neutralize all of the acids present.

§  Blood is at the top of the pack. Your body will steal minerals from anywhere and everywhere before it will let your blood go too acidic. Remember, even a slight deviation in blood pH results in death. 

§  Saliva is at the bottom of the pack. Saliva is the first place your body steals minerals from to balance the blood. That’s why pH testing saliva provides an early warning system for when you are becoming too acidic. At optimum health, your saliva will test at 7.45. At 6.5 – 7.0, you’ll find yourself frequently succumbing to colds and sickness. At 5.5 and lower, you can pretty much count on the fact that that major disease has already taken hold. Virtually, all cancer patients test strongly acidic on a saliva pH test.

§  Unfortunately, your saliva just doesn’t contain that big a reserve of minerals so you soon run out. That places your bones next on the priority list. Surprise, your bones are your body’s prime mineral reserve. That’s right, if your diet is too acid forming (too much meat, dairy, carbohydrates and sugars) your body will begin leaching calcium from your bones to balance the pH and avoid death. In effect, your body says osteoporosis is preferable to death.

How can we help?

·         Change your diet. Follow the guideline laid out in Chapter 6.

·         In addition, there are several special alkalinizing agents available.


§  There is a machine from Japan that will “micronize” your water. What it actually does is take your tap water and divide it into two. One stream is acidic and can be used for washing and cleaning. The other stream is alkaline and is used for drinking. It works really well. Unfortunately it’s really expensive—about $1,200.

§  One of the best alternatives is to simply magnetize your water. Applying a magnetic field to a pitcher of water for a short period of time will make it more alkaline. It also offers the added advantage of lessening the surface tension, which makes the water wetter and more usable by the cells of your body.

RECOMMENDATIONS

BLOOD

·         CLEANSING. 2-4 times a year (even more often if ill) you need to go on an herbal cleansing of the blood.
ü  Note: Never do a blood cleanse without first cleaning out the colon to provide an outlet for the toxins released by the blood.

·         Oral Chelation. 3-4 times per year for a period of 2-3 weeks at a time, using either:

§  Cilantro pesto as described earlier in the chapter.
§  Malic acid tablets.
§  If you want, you can also use one of the low—level oral chelators on the market.

·         Alkalinize or Die.
·         Cut away back on acid producing foods such as meat, dairy, sugar, soda pop, refined grains, etc. Add alkalinizing foods to your diet.

·         Drink water that has been magnetized. Magnetizing raises the pH by almost one full point.

·         One final though on pH. It really makes sense to test the pH of your saliva on a regular basis as a touchstone of your overall health. You can pick up pH paper specifically designed for this purpose at most health food stores. Make sure you test in the morning before brushing or eating as these things can temporarily alter the pH in your mouth. Just spit out a couple of times into the sink, then unto the pH paper. Ideally, your pH should be about 7.45. If it tests below 7.0, you should get aggressive in terms of alkalinizing your body.

·         Fasting. There are many number of books on fasting to help guide you through the process. The principles of fasting are simple.

§  First, when you deprive your body of food, your body begins to consume itself to survive. Being geared to self-survival, your body chooses to consume damaged cells and toxic cells first, saving the healthiest for later.

§  It takes a tremendous amount of energy, and put a tremendous strain on your body’s organs, to process food. (Check your heart rate after eating a large meal and observe how exhausted you feel.). When you fast, your body diverts that energy to repair and to rebuilding.

§  No matter what medical doctors may say, the process works. In fact, a simple thought that should clue you in to the necessity for periodic fasting is the fact that human beings are the only animals that eat when they’re sick. Think about that for a moment. Have you ever observed how dogs or cats, for example, stop eating while they are recovering? They intuitively understand the healing power of fasting. There are three levels of fasting worth considering.


ü  The pure water fast. This is the most powerful, but also produces the most toxic side effects. I do not recommend it unless you have a great deal of experience in fasting or are working directly with a qualified healer.

ü  Juice Fasting. Fasting on fresh juices help smooth out many of the negatives of fasting.

ü  Spirulina or Chlorella Fasting. Even gentler is supplementing your juice fast with spirulina or Chlorella throughout the day.

·         The one thing you need to be careful of while fasting is the build up of ketones in the body. Make sure you drink large amounts of water to flush out the ketones from your body.

·         One final note on fasting. In Chapter 3, we discussed the herbal colon—activator formula that provides both cleansing and healing to the entire gastrointestinal system. It’s highly recommended that you use such a formula while fasting to accelerate removal of toxins from the colon. If not, you will have to take a colonic or an enema every day.
