Whether cancer, diabetes, arthritis, autoimmune disorders,
and other chronic conditions - the most important thing to
do is to ~

>>>> Alkalinize the body <<<<


Naturopathic physician Carson E. Pierce wrote in his book

"What I Would Do If I Had Cancer Again"

"Adjusting a cancer victim's pH is an absolute must at
the start of any treatment, whether orthodox or holistic
(non-toxic). I consider it a gross oversight that this
major modality has been ignored for so long.

Could it have been overlooked because the cost is only
about five cents a day?"

"What I Would Do If I Had Cancer Again"
(http://www.worldcancer.com)



We want to create an alkaline environment in
our body for several reasons. Being alkaline
can prevent or help treat many degenerative
conditions such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis,
kidney stones and gall stones.

Cancer cannot survive in an alkaline environment.
Many pathogenic organisms cannot exist in
an alkaline environment.

Acid conditions lead to degenerative
diseases, especially arthritis and kidney/gallstones.

What creates an acidic environment?

Coffee, tea, sodas, meats, desserts,
sugars, chemicals, medications, thoughts -
and how about stress? Just thinking
stress-filled thoughts can increase acidity
levels in the body.

These acid levels aren't just about the acid in the stomach.

The entire body has varying levels of pH.

The body works hard at maintaining a blood
pH of 7.4. So much so that it will pull from
other areas of the body to keep that blood pH
fairly constant. It will work by depositing and
withdrawing acid and alkaline minerals from other
locations including the bones, soft tissues,
body fluids and saliva.

So the pH of these other tissues
fluctuate. All forms of arthritis are associated
with excess acidity. Acid in the body dissolves both
teeth and bones, so this is also a factor in osteoporosis.

How do we remove excess acidity?

Eating alkalinizing foods (also call acid-binding foods) is the
best way. Here are very high level acid-binding foods:

--Oysters
--Unpasteurized dairy from cows, sheep, goats
--pumpernickel bread
--coconut
--black radish
--spinach
--endive
--tomato
--dandelion
--figs
--citrus fruits
--root vegetables
--sweet potato
--olives
--greens

Eat raw foods - fresh fruit, nuts, sprouts, vegetable juices.
Cooked whole foods work too. Especially vegetables and certain
grains.

A great supplement to instantly alkalinize - from Young Living -
is Alkalime.


Once alkalinized through food, then move the alkaline condition
throughout the body by:

--Exercise

--Massage

--Yoga

Mobilize the lymphatic system in the body (a circulatory system
designed to cleanse the body of toxins) by using a mini-
trampoline also called a rebounder.

Rest the digestive system by once a week doing just organically
grown fruits and vegetable juices. This helps to neutralize the
acidity.


How can we easily alkalinize?

Drink beverages first thing in the morning that are alkalizing.
Some good beverages to alkalinize your body are:

--Orange juice, and to alkalinize further squeeze lemon in it

--Water with lemon. If you want a hot beverage, drink hot water
with lemon.

--Certain teas. Kukicha (Twig) tea, Green teas

--Vegetable broth. Boil cabbage, carrots, onions together and
drink the broth.

--Vegetable juices, preferably fresh and organic - green is great

--Apple Cider Vinegar with water

--Alkalime (Young Living)


How do we know if we are acid or alkaline?

Measuring the pH of the saliva gives us a window into our
susceptibility to degenerative diseases. Here's how to test your
saliva pH:

--Wait two hours after eating or drinking juices.

--Fill your mouth with saliva and swallow it a few times to make
sure it is clean.

--Put clean saliva onto pH paper

--The pH paper should turn blue which would indicate that your
saliva is slightly alkaline with a healthy pH of 7.4.
