The pH scale

Ladies and Gentlemen do I have a treat for you. As I have said in my blogs that I have been looking at this company called Market America. They provide exclusive products in the fields ranging from auto care to health and nutrition. They also provide a legitimate proven business plan. This weekend some local coordinators of Market America in Long Island, put together a two day natural health seminar. And of course I attended. The keynote speaker was Dr. Sheryl Duchess. To know more about Dr. Duchess and her achievements, visit her site at healthchallenges.com.
The statistics of people with degenerate diseases are staggering in this country. Some 50% of African Americans have diabetes. 1 in 8 people have colon cancer. 10M people in 2000 had osteoporosis. These are just to name a few. Believe it or not these diseases are caused by the foods we eat. Toxic foods translate to an unhealthy digestive system which in turn damages your immune system. People, we need to wake up.
In addition to talking about the digestive and immune system and how they are interwoven, Dr. Duchess talked about the pH scale. The pH scale is what she uses to diagnose and ultimately treat her patients. It is essential to life. The pH scale measures how acidic or alkaline (basic) a substance is. The scale ranges from 0-14 with 0 being too acidic and 14 being too alkaline or basic. In either case it is certain death. The goal is to maintain your pH between 6.8 and 7.3. Your pH goes out of whack for the following reasons: a high protein diet, high levels of stress, diseases ie. diabetes, high amounts of sugar and eating highly processed foods.
Your body goes through what is called buffer depletion. This is the body's ability to neutralize acid. The body neutralizes acid by pulling calcium from your bones and magnesium. So you see if you are acidic you are at risk for osteoporosis. There are four stages of buffer depletion. They are as follows.
Stage 1-Saliva alkaline and urine alkaline
Stage 2-Saliva alkaline and urine acidic
Stage 3-Saliva acidic and urine alkaline (Bed ridden)
Stage 4-Saliva acidic and urine acidic (DEATH)
The answer to a healthy pH is eating 80% alkaline foods and 20% acidic foods. Many of us do the opposite. In addition to "eating healthy," we need to supplement with nutraceuticals. The best nutraceuticals on the planet is in the isotonix form. Visit thekey2ahappieru.unfranchise.com to find more information on isotonix nutraceuticals.
