"The correct acid/alkaline balance is absolutely crucial for the body to maintain good health." Over acidification leads to the overgrowth of microorganisms in the body whose poisons create disease. Microorganisms, germs, bacteria, viruses, fungus (candida) and mold thrive in an unhealthy, acidic environment. Maintaining pH balance allows us to experience good health, energy and vitality [...]
The terrain is made up of our individual’s personal health history, nutrition, toxicity levels, vaccination history, antibiotic use and the past or current drug treatment. The terrain is our personal history. It is important to understand the terrain as a concept. It is used to address illness by naturopathic doctors and practitioners and looks at [...]
The key to understanding pH is simple: pH, or the degree of acidity and alkalinity of a solution is measured on a logarithmic scale of 1 to 14. Anything with a pH value of less than 7.0 is considered acidic. The lower the number of pH, the greater the acidity. The higher the number of [...]
What is meant by alkalizing an “unbalanced terrain” The term “terrain” was coined by French physiologist Claude Bernard in the 19th century, who used the term for the body’s internal environment. Since the body comprises mostly water, the terrain of the body is in essence an aqueous medium. This includes the blood, lymph and the [...]
ACID ALKALINE SALIVA AND URINE TEST : 1. First, upon waking test your saliva with the pH test paper. When you get out of bed, wet the end of a pH test strip with your saliva. Note the colour change and write down the pH number. Do this before brushing your teeth, drinking, smoking, or [...]
Why alkalize? 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 [...]
“The single measurement most important to your health is the pH of your blood and tissues – how acidic or alkaline it is.” pH measures the degree of acidity-alkalinity of the blood and tissues (measured by the pH scale from 0 to 14), this is an important indicator of your health. Oxygen is critical to [...]
