Notable MD
identifies the
cause of chronic
medical problems!
“In its natural,
healthy state, the
human body is
slightly alkaline.
Virtually all of our
cells and tissues
contain significant
amounts of alkaline
substances, such as
minerals, oxygen,
and bicarbonate.
Our blood must
maintain a state of
slight alkalinity
for our very
survival." |
Almost all of
our crucial
physiological
functions –
including
immunity,
digestion, and
cardiovascular
function – as
well as most of
our metabolic
processes and
enzyme reactions
require a
slightly
alkaline
internal
environment. It
follows, then,
that both peak
performance and
optimal health
depend on the
body’s ability
to maintain a
slightly
alkaline state
in virtually all
of our cells and
tissues. The
benefits of
maintaining this
healthful state
of slight
alkalinity are
summarized in
the chart below.
A
slightly
alkaline state
is also
necessary if one
is to maintain
the ability to
solve complex
mental problems
or sustain the
creativity
needed to make
breakthroughs in
any field. It
also supports
our ability to
socialize and
create strong
personal
relationships.
Finally, when
our cells and
tissues are
slightly
alkaline, we are
better able to
ward off or
quickly recover
from minor
illnesses such
as colds, flus,
sinusitis, and
allergies. We
are also able to
recover rapidly
from injuries,
minor surgery,
and the effects
of vigorous
physical
activity.
In
contrast, when
your cells and
tissues are
overly acidic,
you tire easily
and are often
fatigued. It
becomes more
difficult to
think clearly.
You are more
likely to
develop a
pessimistic
outlook on
life. Even if
you have high
goals and
aspirations in
life, you will
lack the energy
and vital spark
to carry them
out to their
fullest extent.
Over acidity
decreases your
resistance to
colds and flu's.
You are more
likely to suffer
from allergies
that leave you
bleary-eyed and
tired at work or
sleepy from the
drugs you take
to suppress the
symptoms.
Over acidity also
contributes to
conditions like
arthritis, which
can cause
fingers, hips,
and joints to
become stiff and
sore.
Eventually, this
inability to
neutralize acids
in the body
causes chronic,
long-term
medical problems
like high blood
pressure,
autoimmune
diseases,
cancer, and
finally, death
itself.”
