Did you know

Hydration:

  • Dehydration is a primary reason for daytime fatigue and can slow down your metabolism by as much as 3%
  • Just a 1% - 2% drop in body water can impair your mental focus, concentration and physical performance
  • Beverages that contain caffeine such as soft drinks, coffee or tea actually stimulate fluid loss and promote dehydration

Minerals:

  • Excercise and prolonged physical activity cause you to lose vital minerals, which are critical for nerve impulses and muscle contractions
  • Quickly replenishing lost minerals is essential for peak physical performance
  • Major minerals needed by your body are calcium, magnesium, sodium, bicarbonate and silica acid which are in Saka Water

pH Balance

  • Disease and illness thrive in an acidic environment but can't survive in an alkaline environment
  • "Alkalinity" equals Oxygen, and Oxygen equals Good Health!
  • A one-point drop on the pH scale means "10 times more acidity". That means drinking a beverage with a pH reading of "2" is 100,000 times more acidic than a beverage with a pH reading of "7" (such as water)

What is Alkaline Water?                             

Do I Need It? 

The average western diet consists of foods that are acid forming in the body. There is a difference between foods that measure on the acidic side of the pH scale and foods that have the end result of rising of pH of the body after they are digested.  A lemon is a good example of a food that is acidic in its natural state but makes the body more alkaline after it is processed.  Eating a lemon everyday is an excellent way to get some alkalinity in the diet. 

The simplest way to get plenty of the needed alkaline minerals is to drink Saka Natural Mineral Water. To eat a proper diet to maintain the proper alkalinity in the human body many people believe you should eat up to 80% alkaline forming foods.  Most people eat over 80% acidic foods everyday.  Meats, grains, fats, sweets, dairy products, soft drinks, fast foods, are all acid forming in the body.  Another thing that is acid forming is stress.  Exercise also causes acidic build up in the muscles in the form of lactic acid.  Drinking alkaline water can help this. 

The average city tap water most of us drink contains fluoride and other acid compounds as well as beneficial alkaline compounds.  Each full number on the pH scale means the reading is 10 times more alkaline, or acidic depending on which direction it is changing.  Saka Natural Mineral water has a pH of over 8.2

By supplying more oxygen for the blood the body can work more efficiently putting less demand on the heart, lungs and circulatory system.  And if the body can raise the blood pH only slightly then the blood automatically carries with it more oxygen because of the relationship to higher pH and higher oxygen carrying ability.

WHY ALKALINE WATER?

If you or anyone you know have owned a swimming pool, you'd be familiar with a pH test, every now and then you'd test your pool water's acidity to make sure it is around the 7 pH.

If you leave your pool for months and months, it would become acidic and it would start to become greenish, full of bacteria, mould, algae, etc. you would have to put chlorine in it to kill the bacteria and rebalance the ph back to 7ph.

This is the same with your body, if you continue to eat and drink acidic food and beverages, continue to use products on your body that are acidic and live a 'stressful' life, you're body would become like your pool very acidic and a haven for dis-ease.  Whilst Chlorine may be good for killing all the nasty bacteria, it doesn't know the difference between good and bad, it also destroys good and essential bacteria too. so it is not healthy to drink and is very dangerous to drink, refer to article at the bottom.

One of the healthiest and easiest way to clean and balance your pH is to drink Alkalizing Water. Saka has a healthy pH of 8.22

Diseases are categorized as “contagious’ (viruses, colds, flu) and “adult diseases”, (High Blood Pressure, Muscle Aches, Morning Sickness, Diabetes, Hangovers, Kidney Stones, Osteoporosis, Poor Blood Circulation, Body Odor, Hyper-acidity, Migraines, Chronic fatigue, Constipation, Water retention, Diarrhea, Obesity).  Current studies from Japan have indicated that the adult diseases are a result of increased waste acidity and an impaired immune system.  Alkaline Water will help dissolve the wastes that have been built up over many years and it will help fortify the immune system.

What is pH? 

PH indicates the acidity or alkalinity of a substance.  The scale runs from 0 to 14.  PH value 7 is neutral, lower than 7 is acidic, and higher than 7 is alkaline.  Tap water is usually in the range of 7.  With minerals, pH goes up as ORP goes down. 

A change from a 6pH to a 5pH is 10 times more acid than a 6pH. A 4 pH is 100 times more acid that a 6 pH, and soon. Everyone knows that water is H20, meaning two hydrogen molecules and one oxygen molecule. What not everyone knows is, that by changing the covalent or weak bonds within the molecular structure of the water you can change the pH of that water.

The Importance of ph Balance

Only pH values between 6.8 and 7.8 are compatible with human life.  This is the narrowest tolerance of any of the fine balances in the body.  Normal blood functioning takes place between 7.36 and 7.44 with acidosis occurring at a pH below 7.1. In summary, the human body is naturally more alkaline than acidic.

The Benefits of Alkalized Water:

Alkalized Water neutralizes excess acidity, thus helping the body to naturally rid itself of toxic acid waste products to maintain a healthy pH balance.  You might say it’s a way of making a deposit in your health bank.

Here are the specific benefits of drinking Saka Natural Mineral water.

Saka is the easiest way to boost alkalinity to maintain a healthy pH balance. 
Stressful lifestyles cause excess acid to be released in the stomach. This acid may cause ulcers to form.   
 
Saka may reduce the side effects of alcohol. Excessive alcohol can overwhelm the liver. The kidneys bear the brunt of removing excess acid from the body.  
 
Saka may help neutralize acid urine so the body can remove it safely. Extreme low-calorie diets can create high acidic urine and put additional stress on the kidneys

Lactic acid builds up and causes muscles to become painful. Saka Water may help in reducing lactic acid build-up to help athletes maintain endurance and performance.

To ensure pH balance, the body will dissolve its own skeletal structure to assure an adequate supply of alkaline minerals such as calcium, and magnesium to buffer the acidity. Saka Water may help fight osteoporosis by supplying these minerals.

Remember, the human body walks a pH balance tightrope. There’s no better way of staying in balance than through the use of Saka Natural mineral Water.

Saka Water is not a medicine, nor is it intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease. Many people have reported an increased sense of well being simply by drinking Saka Water.

The Need for Alkaline water

Water is used everyday, in all capacities of our lives. Water is vital necessity for our existence. Our bodies are comprised of 70-80% water. In fact we are told to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. In our continued effort to live healthier lives, many of us are becoming aware that consuming more water in necessary.

Filtered or purified water is only cleaner water. But what our bodies truly need is healthier water.  Alkaline water is healthy water. Why? It has been found that alkaline water neutralizes the acidity produced internally as a result of daily stress, poor diet, and excessive exercise. Since most foods we eat create acid waste, it is important to drink alkaline water in order to buffer and flush these wastes out of our bodies..

As an added benefit, alkaline water is one of the best antioxidants known to man. Healthy cells are often attacked by free radicals. These free radicals cause cells to break down. Helpful substance, known as antioxidants, protects cells from free radicals. Alkaline water goes one-step further. It actually converts free radicals before they have a chance to damage healthy cells. Alkaline water seeks out free radicals and converts them into necessary oxygen, which your body can use.

You may have heard about vitamin water or foods with added vitamins, vitamins are useless without minerals, you need the minerals to get the vitamins in.

The benefits of Alkaline Water:    

Helps balance body pH  -  Helps reduce excess acidity  -  Healthy for intestinal tract


ALKALINE WATER KNOWLEDGE AND FACTS

Facts:

Every living cell within our body creates waste products. The nutrients from our food are delivered to each cell and they burn with oxygen to provide energy for us to live. The burned nutrients are the waste products. Whether you eat the best of foods or the worst, all foods generate waste products. Foods are classified as good or bad for you are based on the amount and quality of the waste products it produces. Most of our cells go through metabolism and these old dead cells also become waste products.

Our body will discharge this waste through urine and perspiration. Basically, all waste products are acidic, that is the reason for our skin and urine has a low pH. The real problem is that our body cannot get rid of 100% of the waste it produces. Our life style, such as lack of rest, types of foods we eat and our environment helps produce these waste products, but does not help us eliminate them.

The question is: “What happens to those non-disposed acid waste?”

These waste products become solid wastes, such as, cholesterol, fatty acid, kidney stones, etc, and, unknown to us they accumulate and build up somewhere within our body. This accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes within our body accelerates the aging process.

Drinking alkaline water helps dissolve our body’s acid wastes and makes it easier for the body to dispose of them. The accumulation of wastes accelerates the aging process; the reduction of acid wastes retards the aging process…even reversing over a period of time.

Alkaline water is not a medicine to treat or cure any diseases but if consumed regularly, alkaline water reduces the acid waste, allowing a natural health improvement.

Stomach Acid:

The question is: “What happens to the alkaline water once it reaches the stomach, which is highly acidic?”

In order to digest food and kill bacteria found in our foods, our stomach produces acid (PH of 4). When we intake alkaline water, the ph level the stomach rises. The stomach detects the alkaline water and commands itself to produce more acid, bringing the ph level back to 4.

At first thought this seems counter productive. But once you understand how the stomach wall makes hydrochloric acid, the process becomes clear.

The cells in the stomach must produce hydrochloric acid on an as needed basis. The ingredients to make the acid are carbon dioxide, water, sodium chloride or potassium chloride. The by-product of this acid is sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate… that is delivered to the blood stream.

These bicarbonates are the alkaline buffers that neutralize excess acids in the blood, as well as dissolving acid wastes.

As our bodies age, and accumulate more acid waste, the natural alkaline buffers that are made cannot handle such a big job. That’s where naturally alkaline Saka water comes into play.

We need these alkaline buffers in our blood to help our cells from becoming too acidic and producing disease.

Why Saka Water?

We all know that our body must maintain slightly alkaline to survive. Our blood ph level is 7.4 and the cellular fluid level is about 7.2.  In spite of the fact that our cells produce acidic wastes constantly, our body fluids maintain an alkaline ph level to survive.

Our bodies work very hard to dispose of acidic waste. They are removed through urine and perspiration. Both of these have a low ph level. The acidic skin surface kills most germs and viruses that come in contact with it, even some AIDS viruses. Also when we exhale, releasing carbon dioxide, we are ridding of carbonic acid, which also causes acidic waste.

With all the effort our body gives to the removal of acid waste, we still make more waste than our body can get rid of.  This is stored away in the body as solid waste. Since the blood has to carry the wastes away, it is necessary to convert the solid acid waste to liquid acid. If a substance is not dissolved into water, it does not influence the ph level. Some types of solid acid are: cholesterol, fatty acid, kidney stones, etc…

Acid coagulates blood! This is the problem that comes from the accumulation of acid waste. Build of these acid wastes clogs your blood vessels and stops blood circulation. Our organs cannot function properly with out good blood flow to them. With out blood, our organs become mal-nourished and they begin to fail.

Even Cancer cells are acidic, so that means cancer cannot grow in an alkaline environment.

When phosphoric acid or sulfuric acid is created by the oxidation of nutrients, the strength of the acids is too strong for the body to handle. The body compensates by removing calcium from the bones. Well if you take the calcium from our bones, what are we using to hold ourselves up?

By simply drinking our Saka Natural Miner Water you will receive alkalinity and more calcium. too easy!

Acid-Alkaline Imbalance 

The primary benefit of drinking alkalized water involves pH balancing power. Saka water is very alkaline, meaning it has a pH level greater than 7. Alkaline  products help neutralize and detoxify our bodies and rid them of the acidic build-up caused by years of stress, environmental pollution and poor eating habits - primarily soft drinks, fast food and processed foods. A slightly alkaline oxygen rich blood helps us maintain an environment in our bodies that is not conducive to disease. It may take some time to attain this level, depending on how acidic your body is, but Saka water, due to its alkaline properties, will eventually flush acid waste from our bodies and give your immune system a tremendous boost.  

Dehydration 

An equally important benefit of drinking Saka water is connected to its hydrating power. Saka water has a smooth taste.  Our blood is 90% water and is necessary for all bodily functions. It delivers nutrients and carries away wastes.  Here is a great analogy: If you had sick fish in a fish tank with putrid water due to decaying food and toxic waste build up, would you treat the fish and put them back into the putrid water or would you change the water?  Your organs are the fish, your body is the tank and your blood is the water.  

Free Radicals 

Lastly, (electrolyzed) Mineral Water is a powerful, natural antioxidant which helps neutralize free radicals to combat aging and degenerative diseases. Free Radicals are ions, atom and molecules deficient in one electron. They attach themselves to your healthy cells to gain the extra electron they need.  The aging process begins when your cells have to fight these free radicals for survival rather than regenerating your body.  Alkaline water contains thousands of hydroxyl (stable oxygen) electrons that attach to the free radicals and help flush them out of your body through urine or sweat.  Drinking Alkaline Water can actually help reverse the aging process.

  
Acidosis:

Almost any health care provider, alternative or mainstream will agree, that most health problems, including cancer, begin acid environment inside the body. Many lay people already know this. What most people don't know is that if your pH does drop below 5.8 you cannot absorb vitamins A, B, E, F and K. Nor can you absorb valuable minerals like sulfur, potassium, calcium, vanadium, chromium, iron or zinc, no matter how much of these minerals you take. Think about it, you might be sending huge amounts of money down your toilet, so to speak. Many people who have a urine pH below 5.8 do not realize they are wasting their money on supplements. Saka alkaline water is the fastest and most efficient way to alkalize your body. We are meant to be alkaline on the inside of our bodies. If you have any doubts about this, we suggest you read Alkalize or Die by Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, available in most health stores.  
 
Dehydration

We have seen estimations as high as 90 percent of our population is dehydrated and they don't even know it. Research has proven you need 1 litre of water for every 25kg per day to remain properly hydrated. Dehydration has been linked to many of our modern diseases, too numerous to go into here. If you are in doubt of this, you should read Your Body's Many Cries For Water by F. Batmanghelidj, M.D., his book will help you understand the vital importance of water. Not all water helps hydrate the body efficiently. Take distilled water for example. This water is dead and devoid of all minerals. It is very acidic and will tend to dehydrate you. All distilled water we have checked is about a 4.5pH, that means this water is 1000 times more acid than your blood, which is a 7.3pH. Reverse Osmosis water, which is used by many bottled water manufacturers, has many of the same problems. RO water averages around a 5pH, 100 times more acid than your blood.  
 
Saka Natural Mineral Water is slightly higher pH than the blood, thereby relieving the stress on the body to keep your blood pH balanced where it is supposed to be. 

What is the main advantage to alkaline water?

It is the alkaline water's incredibly effective ability to correct the human body's alkaline/acid balance, and all the corresponding health benefits.

“Correct your acid / alkaline balance with the water you drink:
What the experts say.”

In health circles there has been much recent talk about acid / alkaline imbalance. Let’s see if we can clarify how experts recommend we correct this imbalance.

The problem
Your body functions best when neither too acid nor too alkaline. Unfortunately almost all of us have become acidic due to diet, drinks and stress -- both psychological and from pollution. Acids can build up in our body, causing systems to be out of balance.

The effects
According to Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky, “Acid wastes build up in the body in the form of cholesterol, gallstones, kidney stones, arterial plaque, urates, phosphates and sulfates. These acidic waste products are the direct cause of premature aging and the onset of chronic disease.”

When this occurs, the body will restore its optimal pH by depleting certain minerals, such as potassium, calcium and magnesium, from organs and bones. In addition, your immune system may become fatigued from dealing with an excess of acid. Your body then stores acidic wastes in 'hiding places' such as muscles etc. rather than releasing the acids into the bloodstream.

As Dr. Robert Atkins, the well-known author, health and diet expert, notes: “Just about every condition I can think of, from arthritis to diabetes to cancer, is associated with acidity.”
“The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause...too much tissue acid waste in the body!” Theodore A. Baroody, ND, Ph.D.

What can be done?
A vast body of research reveals that you can help neutralize acid build-up in the blood and maintain a balanced pH, by taking some simple steps, such as:
• Exercise
• Avoiding highly acid-forming food and drink.
• Drinking the right water

What is the “right” water?
"International studies show that populations with little or no history of illness, such as cancer, drink higher pH (alkaline) waters.

Sue Pollock, N.D. writes, we can “assist the body in being more alkaline with …drinking alkaline water.”

“I believe that the best water is water that is alkaline.” (Dr. Stefan Kuprowsky)

"It is my opinion that alkaline water will change the way in which all health practitioners and the public approach their health in the coming years." Dr. T. Baroody in "Alkalize or Die."

Why not just rely on a change of diet?
According to Sang Whang, researcher and author of “Reverse Aging”, the danger is that we might omit important foods:

“Since the waste products that we are trying to discharge are acidic, the right kind of water is alkaline water...My personal recommendation is to enjoy the foods that we like, but do not over-eat or exclude any food. Eat in moderation following the professional dieticians' "balanced diet" concept, and let alkaline water do the job of cleansing acidic wastes.”


Dangers of Chlorine

If you are not convinced about the dangers of chlorine in your tap or some bottled water, here's an extract from: Dr Z Rona MD MSc "Most people never give it a thought. After all, our elected public officials keep assuring us that chlorinated city tap water is completely safe for human consumption. Numerous scientific studies report that chlorinated tap water is a skin irritant and can be associated with rashes like eczema. Chlorinated water can destroy polyunsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E in the body while generating toxins capable of free radical damage (oxidation). This might explain why supplementation of the diet with essential fatty acids like flax seed oil, evening primrose oil, borage oil and antioxidants like vitamin E, selenium and others helps so many cases of eczema and dry skin.

"Chlorinated water destroys much of the intestinal flora, the friendly bacteria that help in the digestion of food and which protects the body from harmful pathogens. These bacteria are also responsible for the manufacture of several important vitamins like vitamin B12 and vitamin K. It is not uncommon for chronic skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, seborrhea and eczema to clear up or to be significantly improved by switching to unchlorinated drinking water and supplementing the diet with lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus.

"Chlorinated water contains chemical compounds called trihalomethanes which are carcinogens resulting from the combination of chlorine with compounds in water. These chemicals, also known as organochlorides, do not degrade very well and are generally stored in the fatty tissues of the body (breast, other fatty areas, mother's milk, blood and semen). Organochlorides can cause mutations by altering DNA, suppress immune system function and interfere with the natural controls of cell growth.

"Chlorine has been documented to aggravate asthma, especially in those children who make use of chlorinated swimming pools. Several studies also link chlorine and chlorinated by-products to a greater incidence of bladder, breast and bowel cancer as well as malignant melanoma. One study even links the use of chlorinated tap water to congenital cardiac anomalies.

More on Alkalizing

Bacterial warfare vs. pH balance

Millions of people will die if we do not change the way we live our lives. The enemies have no conscience. They are invisible, invincible and believe it or not, we created them. The worst part of this is that those we trusted have misinformed us, leaving the majority of the population defenceless against our worst nightmare - Killer Mutant Viruses and Bacteria. This is no time to be a crowd follower or a crowd pleaser. This is a wake up call. The fight is already going on around you and maybe even in you. It is called Bacterial Warfare."

Killer Bugs

The man who follows the crowd will only get as far as the crowd. What do we mean by this? All we have to do is turn on the TV or radio or open the newspaper to hear about the mutant killer viruses and bacteria that are resistant to any type of drug therapy. What about the flesh eating bacteria and the avian virus in Hong Kong where over a million chickens had to be killed due to the threat of spreading it to the human population?

What about the comeback of diseases that have supposedly been cured? 'USA Today' ran a story entitled “Ancient Ills Return with a Vengeance”. Eleven diseases believed to be gone are back, including Ebola, Hantrevirus, and even the Black Plague.

There is a pneumonia that even the young are now being afflicted with. The killer bugs are becoming stronger as our immune systems are growing weaker. If we continue on our present path we will always be prone to these diseases.

 

Is your inner terrain ready for these invaders?

Where are the so-called miracle cures? Many well-known researchers and doctors believe that antibiotics have created these monsters. Foolishly, we have over-used our so-called magic bullets, arrogantly underestimating the ability of bacteria to mutate and adapt.

The parasites, viruses and bacteria are all coming back with a vengeance, armed with the knowledge of what killed them before. This time they are not going to be affected by the same thing. I ask you, “Did we ever kill them?”

We are at the end of the antibiotic miracle age. It is payback time. We are at the end of the age where we think we can beat the bacterial evolution.

Yet another resistant strain of bacteria on the playing field, Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus, has not yet been treatable with any antibiotics.

Doctors are saying that if your strength returns it is believed our bodies can fight off VRE. What does this say about the importance of our inner terrain - the importance of an alkaline pH?

When it comes to antibiotics vs. bacteria we know who the winner is here.

VRE does not affect healthy people

In 1997, a new Super Bug was diagnosed in Japan with properties of MRSA and VRE. It is what doctors have feared most. You say, “But it is an ocean away”. Dr. Victor Yu, a leader in the field of infectious disease, states that the war is clearly being lost. There is no doubt in any biologist's mind that it will be on our shores soon. The enemy is called Visa.

Over the years, I have read and studied a broad range of subjects relating to health. The more I research, the more I find overlap and repetition. The terminology may be different but, after you see through the camouflage and confusion, there is usually very little mystery left.

The Battle Cry

I believe the battle cry here is to reclaim our inner terrain. We have now entered critical mass when it comes to bacterial warfare. Our greatest weapon against this is an alkaline body. The pH balance of your inner terrain is your first and major line of defence for your immune system. The creation of an alkaline body is the single most important thing that you can do. 

This must never be overlooked if health and vitality is your goal. Everyone has heard about the germ theory but I have to tell you that germs do not cause disease. Everybody believes that germs cause disease but this is only a half-truth that has been perpetuated into a whole truth.

These are the dying words of Louis Pasteur, who actually made vaccines what they are today. “The germ is nothing, the inner terrain is everything.” I will prove to you in the next few minutes that the theory of trying to destroy bad bacteria for better health is not only temporary but can dangerously threaten your health and life in the future.

What we are looking at is a whole generation of health practitioners who are trying to manipulate the immune system into health. Scientific research and logic shows us that creating a system that manages our inner terrain through pH balancing is the greatest weapon for the health of mankind.

The Germ is Nothing - the Inner Terrain is Everything

The inner terrain we are talking about is our digestive tract, our lymph system, our blood and interstitial fluids. All of these things must be managed properly through pH balancing. How many people and practitioners do you know who believe that the immune system is the body's first line of defence? Well it isn't. It is just a glorified janitorial service. What we need to recognize is that your first and major line of defence is your pH balance. There is only one sickness, one disease, and one cause.

Acidosis is the killer

You have to ask yourself, “What is this? What is killing us?” It is acidosis. Acidosis is the main cause of all illness. When I say this, I mean ALL illness, because your inner terrain holds the secrets to whether you are going to lead a healthy vital life or whether you are going to live in sickness and disease.

It is scientifically proven that an acidic environment breeds fungus, mould, bacteria and viruses. Right now, you will find many health professionals and patients trying to attack the mould, the candida, the fungus, and the parasites. Understand that all of these things only come along for the parasite party. If you can get your pH in proper balance you can send these bugs packing and they will leave out of any orifice possible and never come back, because environment is everything.

Alkalize your body

Let's talk about your refrigerator. Go home, unplug your refrigerator, and find out what happens. Now remember that before you unplugged that fridge there was no mould, no bad bacteria and no bugs. By pulling the plug you change the environment. Watch what happens. Your food will start to break down through fermentation and then putrefaction. Things start growing and crawling around. Where did they come from? You know that they didn't sneak in. The door was closed. They were always there. It is just that they have gone through metamorphosis and they have changed due to an environmental shift - in other words “a drop in pH”.

These parasitic invaders are made up of the same material on which your immune system is built. If your body's environment is not in proper balance it will mutate and possibly kill you. If it does not kill you immediately it will keep you in a state of sickness that will pull your immune system down gradually and continually until it does kill you. If you do not believe this, pull your refrigerator plug and see what happens. Prove it to yourself.

Age spots – your body is talking

Let us take another example - a banana. Take a banana away from its life source and you change its environment. The banana starts to get brown spots on it. What are these brown spots? They are actually mould. The internal environment is becoming acidic. The banana is going mouldy. How many people do you know have brown spots on their face or the back of their hands, or on their entire body? We are talking about mould on the inside of the body causing external symptoms we call age spots.

When you talk about fungus, you are talking about athlete's foot, vaginitis, thrush, eczema, psoriasis, ear infections, sinus infections, and even cancer. This is all about mould and you cannot have mould unless you have a drop in your pH. You have to be suffering from acidosis due to a lack of oxygen to your cells because your hydrogen pools are depleted and your water is not alkaline and clustered.

Time to Clean House

Let's take it a little further. I would like you to imagine something. Don't clean your house for a year. What do you think happens if you don't clean your house for a year and you live in that environment? You are going to create disease, in other words, a disease environment for bacterial warfare.

Take a look around. How many people do you know are suffering from allergies, asthma, arthritis, cancer, environmental illness, chronic fatigue, etc? If you have an acidic pH and putrefaction in your body, it is going to create various types of bugs: i.e. bacteria, parasites, fungus, mould, and all of these bugs are going to pull the immune system down.

Getting the Garbage out

Let's take a look at the garbage can. We have one garbage can that is full of garbage and another one that is clean. We are going to put a lid on both garbage cans. Now open up the full garbage can and reach on in. You are going to find worms, mould, bad bacteria, and decay. What is all of this? It is not fermentation. It is putrefaction. The terrain in the garbage can has gone into a state of acidosis.

Should we kill the bugs or change the environment? If we kill the bugs without changing the environment they will be back the next day. Open the second garbage can that was clean. It is still clean - no bugs, no mould, no disease. If you can have an environment that is in proper pH, or in other words is alkaline, you will not have these invaders.

We cannot go out and successfully attack mould, bacteria, and viruses with vaccinations and antibiotics because this does not kill them permanently. It makes them stronger and they learn to adapt just like a cockroach. These moulds and bad bacteria were friendly at one time. However, we created the environment that became unfriendly and our unfriendly environment sent out invitations to join the parasite party that is going on inside you. What you have to do is change your inner terrain.

Take another look at the garbage can that is clean. It has no parasites, no bad bacteria, no mould, and no virus. They are unable able to exist in it. Now look at the garbage can that has these bug-like invaders in it and your first instinct is to use chemical sprays to kill those bugs and walk away. But guess what? Tomorrow morning, as soon as you get up, those bugs are going to be back. You did not change the environment and that is the whole issue - no environment change means no permanent change.

Life and death are in the blood

We have to look at it this way. Do the mosquitoes create the swamp, or does the swamp create the mosquitoes? We need to look at things logically, from the global level to the cellular level. Everything revolves around the theory of an alkaline system. If you can understand that theory, then you know that germs are nothing and the environment inside your body is everything.

Life and death are in the blood. How are your inner streams? The most important thing is to "Reclaim Your Inner Terrain". We talk about ecology, the air, the water and the land. There are no specific diseases, only specific disease conditions, and there is only one disease. That one disease is acidosis. When we think acid, we think of something that is corrosive and something that eats anything in its way. Think about ammonia or any other corrosive chemical. It can take the wax right off your floor. When you start building up acid in your body, it will literally eat your body away.

Modern habits contribute to acidosis in the body – consumption of acidic food and drink, exercising improperly, drinking water that does not hydrate or cleanse thoroughly, inhalation of polluted air, mouldy environments, stressful situations. Proper periodic body cleansing is the key.

Cancer is a Four Letter Word

Cancer is a four-letter word and that word is ACID. Cancer is a systemic disease that has localized and metastasized whether it is in the breast, prostate, uterus, ovaries, or any other part of the body.

A tumour is a storage shed for acid. How does breast cancer develop? Look at weight problems first. Take a look around the planet, especially in North America, and you will see weight problems in epidemic proportions. People are getting fatter. We work out. We count calories. We take protein shakes. We go on this and that diet system, etc. but we never ever lose the weight for long. It comes back and even more than before.

Now what is the forbidden secret? Do you know why it comes back? We never address the real problem and that problem is acidosis.

Acid is the Killer

The human body is very smart. When you start becoming acidic, the human body says, “Acid is the killer and we cannot have it close to any vital organs. It will cause heart attacks, strokes, hardening of the arteries and almost any disease you want to talk about, from diabetes to psoriasis to allergies, to asthma, and cancer.

If we do have the acid too close, it will eat away at the organs. It will cause cells to mutate. It will reduce the oxygen. It will cause plaque in the arteries. It will deplete calcium and so on. What we have to do is get the acid as far away as possible from these vital organs.”

In order to protect the organs, the body creates fat cells to store the acid. Fat cells are cold because the acid in the cells eats up the oxygen and hydrogen. Without oxygen and hydrogen, cells lack energy and warmth. They are cold.

Don’t Count Calories

What your body actually does is make fat. Whether you like it or not, fat and cellulite are saving your life. These fat cells and cellulite are packing up the acids and taking it (as far away as possible) from your vital organs. The more acidic somebody gets, the wider they get, because the acid has to be moved away from the organs. So the more acidic you get, the heavier you are going to get.

The longer you stay acidic, the longer you keep these fat cells and the colder they become. What do I mean by cold? They are lacking the life force because they are not alkaline and because they lack oxygen. They are acidic and anything that is acidic is lacking in oxygen. That is why fat is cold. As soon as you can start to remove the acid from your body you will see that the fat cells will leave and not come back.

Try to starve your body into health if you want to, but the only thing that you are going to cause is a drawing of the acid closer to those vital organs and then you are going to end up in trouble.

We know that acid gets stored in fat cells. That is scientifically proven. When all is said and done, any really good health practitioner, or person who knows about health, is going to turn to this philosophy because this is the philosophy of truth and this is what is going to lead us out of sickness as a nation. I would like to finish the overweight issue with an article that I read recently in a newspaper.

Scratch dieting off your New Years resolutions

If your New Year's resolution includes dieting, the top editors of the New England Journal of Medicine advise you to eat up.

“Until we have better data about the risks of being over-weight and the benefits and risks of trying to lose weight, we should remember that the cure for obesity may be worse than the condition,” Dr. Jerome Kasirer and Dr. Marcia Angell said in an editorial in 'The Weekly'.

Breast tissue – an acid magnet

Let's get back to breast cancer. When we look at something like breast cancer, we see that acid is stored in the fat cells. The female breast is comprised mainly of fatty tissue. You may not realize this but that is where the acid goes. When the acid goes to the breasts it gets locked into the fat tissue. The one thing you will always see before a woman has breast cancer is calcium deposits in her breasts.

The other thing, which you may not realize, is that there has never been an association between calcium deposits in the body and high alkaline pH. It has always been calcium robbed from the body (not nutritional calcium) that has been found in the breast.

What does this tell you? We know that Dr. Otto Warburg received the Nobel Prize for proving that a lack of oxygen causes cancer. Further studies with Dr. Reich proved that it was actually low pH, or acidosis, due to depleted hydrogen pools, which causes lack of oxygen.

The Calcium Confusion

Many people worry about taking too much calcium supplementation with the belief that it may lead to calcium deposits. Let us set the record straight. All calcium deposits within the body have been found to be calcium that has been leached from the body and not from nutritional calcium, as we have been led to believe.

The true cause of calcium deposits is lack of hydrogen, alkaline minerals, and proper cleansing which causes the body to go into a crisis state pulling calcium from body tissues and bones due to acidosis. Body calcium makes a poor substitute for nutritional calcium, as it cannot be used effectively. So the calcium pulled from the body will deposit in the weaker joints, tissues, or organs of the body creating all kinds of complications.

Warning signs: Calcium Deposits

The scientific data is in. All that we have to do is use logic. When calcium deposits are found in the breasts, this is your first warning sign that you must saturate your system with a high pH level to pull that acid out as soon as possible in order to prevent breast cancer. The calcium was pulled from the body and drawn to the breast to help put out the fire created by the acid. This can occur anywhere in the body.

Logically, we should replace what the body is missing. What is missing is your hydrogen pools, alkaline minerals, and a high alkaline body pH. When you are talking about cancer of the breast, prostate, ovaries, or liver, or cancer anywhere in the body, these are the areas suffering from severe acidosis.

Fatigue

One of the first signs of disease is feeling continually tired. It does not matter what disease you are talking about. You have got to get your acidic pH turned around.

Your Body’s Safety Mechanism

As your pH level drops into the acidic zone, your body becomes acidic until you reach the condition we call acidosis. When that happens, we start losing our calcium and hydrogen pools and it starts being pulled out of the blood, the bones, and the tissues. This is a safety mechanism. Your body is trying to put off the inevitable unless you take action. Your body picks up the ball where you have dropped it.

What happens now is that your oxygen level drops due to a lack of hydrogen, leaving you tired and fatigued, allowing fungus, mould, parasites, bad bacteria, and viral infections to flourish throughout the body.

When people say, “I have candida”, you must know that you cannot have candida unless you have bad bacteria, fungus and parasites. They all come along together. One does not come without the other. What we have to do is get in there and change our inner terrain. How do you do that?

 

We must clean the body internally to get it under control. After it is under control, we can construct new healthy cells. In order to get your body under control, you can supplement to assist the construction of new cells. Do you have what you need to reclaim your inner terrain?

Lots of food but very little in it

Understand that we have come into an era of malnutrition with mass produced “foods”, whether we like it or not. If you don't want to take nutritional supplements, you haven't got a chance.

Even when it comes to organic fruits and vegetables, the minerals must be in the soil to be absorbed by the growing produce. Due to increasing levels of nutritional soil depletion, our food is increasingly deficient in nutrients. If you think you are going to get minerals from your food, you had better get yourself a transport truck to visit the supermarket and fill it up every week for quantity to replace quality.

However, this still will not solve this health crisis. We have lots of food with very little in it. Until the ecology of our planet changes (which will not happen for many years because those who really care are not in control), the only thing that we can actually control is our own inner ecology.

We have to get this information out to everyone. We are at war. Are you ready to win? It is bacterial warfare against the pH balance. Are you prepared?

Does stress cause headaches and disease?

As far as headaches go, we live in a very stressful society. For instance, how many times do you tell your children or partner or anyone to “hurry up, hurry up”? There are also so many things that we can not change - the wiring in our homes, the radios, the TVs, the microwaves, and all the other things of which we are not aware that creates electromagnetic pollution. We cannot change most of these things. There is air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, and the chemical pollution in our food. Our bodies are stressed to the max.

When we are stressed, we release hormones. What do hormones do? After you utilize those hormones for your fight or flight response, they ferment and create an acid pH in the body. You will always notice that in people who are prone to headaches, just prior to the headache they had a stressful situation causing them to go into a fight or flight response. Their adrenals are dumping out hormones that cause acidosis. It cuts down their oxygen supply to the brain and nervous system eating up their hydrogen. So here comes another headache due to a drop in pH.

Whether a person has cancer, psoriasis, asthma, or environmental illness, it is all about creating an alkaline environment. It is all about getting their body alkaline again.

Let me tell you about the study where a tumour was cut it in half. Half of the tumour was placed in an acid solution and it doubled its size within a few hours. Then the other half of the tumour was placed in an alkaline solution and it died within a few hours. This study speaks for itself. Do you want to maintain an acid or alkaline environment in your body?

Nature’s Way of Telling You

The quality of your bowel movements is nature's way of telling you the level of health you are experiencing. Just as you need to monitor what goes in your mouth, stool investigation will give you valuable information regarding your highway to health, the digestive tract.

Your digestive tract is the assembly line for the food you eat. Your bowel movements can give you a clear picture daily as to whether the most important process of health is functioning properly.

Learning what to look for in your bowel movements can prevent future illness and suffering. We have been taught to feel embarrassed about talking or even thinking about our bowel movements. Do not let this get in the way of your vibrant health.

The large intestine is the sewer system of your body. Mismanagement will only cause the digestive tract to become a cesspool. How does the rest of the body become toxic? The answer is mismanagement of the large intestine. You reabsorb your own toxic waste.

There is a reason for the large intestine to be the first organ developed in the fetus. It is the most important and influential organ of the body. Without proper sanitation, life cannot exist.

The best signs that your sewer system is toxic and not functioning properly are: bad breath, smelly stool, and you require the use of deodorant.

What indicates a good bowel movement is, firstly, that the stool floats. Floating stools are both a blessing and a curse. They can float because they are so full of bubbles and gas that they are abnormal (unhealthy). On the other hand, they float because they have too much fat in them (unhealthy), or they can float because they are high in fibre, which is the kind we want.

We want stools that do not mark the toilet bowel. We want them to hang together and not be pebbles, non-putrefactive, have no undigested food particles, a large volume, a wiping clean, and a sense of complete evacuation. Wiping clean should only take a few pieces of toilet paper – not a roll. It is amazing how often people do NOT have this sense of complete evacuation. We want one or more bowel movements every day.

It Seems Normal to be Sick

It is tricky out there and it is going to get trickier. We live in the most toxic time that this planet has ever seen. Right now, we have hit a critical mass whether anyone wants to believe that or not.

If someone had cancer twenty years ago, people would be leery about getting too close. When you heard about someone with cancer, it scared you. Now it seems that we always know someone who is battling this disease.

How many people do you know who are in good health? What is good health? Let us be honest, it is normal to be sick, so what is normal to us is actually abnormal. For example, when you go for a physical and they tell you that you are healthy for a 40-year old, they are comparing you to the average 40-year-old person.

It means that your stomach is hanging over your belt; you are falling asleep at nine-o-clock at night; you can hardly get yourself out of bed; your sex-drive is gone; your teeth are falling out; your bowel movements smell terrible; you have to use deodorant because you are rotting inside and that is normal because everybody uses deodorant.

What we think of as normal is actually abnormal but because the majority of the population is sick, we are all well.

We do not even know what well is any more. Got a headache? Take an aspirin. Are you constipated? Take laxatives. Do you have cancer? Have chemotherapy, radiation or surgery. So I guess logically speaking, lack of aspirin causes a headache, lack of laxatives causes constipation and lack of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery causes cancer.

Therefore, the train of thought for the average person is, “If I take a little of these therapies everyday I will be healthy forever.”

Osteoporosis – what’s eating you?

Osteoporosis is a very confusing condition for people. Most people think they can eliminate it with milk and eating plenty of dairy products. In reality, in countries where the people do not consume milk or dairy products, the instances of osteoporosis are very rare.

Osteoporosis is an acidosis problem. What I mean by this is when the body becomes so acidic, it says, “Well, we have an alternative here. If this person remains acidic for much longer, we could have a heart attack or stroke and this may mean that our life is going to be terminated.” Instead of doing that, the body steals calcium from the bones, the blood, and from the tissues. As bone mass becomes depleted, this is what we call osteoporosis.

Now, just as you would see a raging forest fire eating anything that gets in its way, this is how an acid pH rages through your body. Similar to the way we put out the forest fire by drenching it with water, the only way to effectively treat osteoporosis is to change the acid pH in the body to an alkaline pH.

The body is being eaten away. It is in a state of emergency. What we need to do is saturate the body. When we saturate the body with proper nutrition, it brings the pH up to an alkaline level, and drops the acid levels down.

Most people who have osteoporosis have poor absorption. If we can saturate the body with proper nutrition, then we can put the fire out and increase alkalinity. However, do not cheat your body and fight a losing battle.

Alkaline water – Essential for Good Health

The right water is critical for good health. This means alkaline water. The body is 70% water. When a person starts on a detox program they must understand this critical point. Some people will not want to do it because of the way they have been programmed. Those who will listen should drink a minimum of four litres of alkaline water a day.

Understand that you need lots of water, because you are cleaning up a house that has not been cleaned in twenty, thirty, or forty years. Should you do it with a cup of water, or should you do it with a bucket of water? The proper drinking water is healing water. You will never burn the kidneys out. They need that water.

The human body is a large bag of water. Eighty-five trillion cells are putting their lives in your hands, hoping and praying that the fluid they are fed and bathed in is changed daily and has the proper pH, that being alkaline.

The four critical standards to ask about your drinking water are:


1. Is it clean?

2. Is it alkaline water?

3. Does it have key Minerals?

4. Is it totally natural as nature intended?

I was reading a remarkable study from the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research by Dr. Alexis Carrell. He attempted to demonstrate that, under suitable conditions, the living cell could live a very long time, perhaps indefinitely.

Chicken heart tissue was immersed in a nutrient solution from which it obtained its food. Likewise, waste material was secreted into this same solution. Everyday the solution was changed, taking away waste substances and providing fresh nutrients.

It is amazing to report that this chicken heart tissue lived for 29 years in this fashion. It died one day when the assistant forgot to change the metabolized polluted fluid!

In other words, autointoxication claimed this great masterpiece of experimental scientific investigation.

“The cell is immortal”, said Carrell of this experience. It is merely the fluid in which it floats which degenerates. Renew this fluid at intervals, give the cell something upon which to feed and, so far as we know, the pulsation of life may go on forever.

Understand that the alkaline/acid theory is going to be the foundation that people are going to gravitate to within the next three to five years. However, you do not have to wait until everybody lines up and decides that it is the real thing. You are not going to have the majority of society or so-called health system coming out and telling us that - at least not until we see our brothers and sisters falling by the wayside. Our health system is structured for the benefits of the few, not the many.

Products that affect the pH balance in ionic state, which are saturated with hydrogen, electrons, and alkaline minerals, will be your foundation. Now some people are going to say “Yeah, but I am deficient in this nutrient or I am deficient in that nutrient”. Understand this. First we get the body alkaline and then we see what we are deficient in. The problem is, nothing functions properly when we are acidic and you are going to get all of the wrong messages until we alkalize the system.

The most important thing is to Reclaim Your Inner Terrain and once you do that, you will send the parasites, fungus, mould, yeast, and bad bacteria (therefore all disease) packing because they cannot exist in an alkaline environment.

One last thing, nutritional supplements don't work in an acidic state. So don't fall for the 'VITAMIN" and 'NUTRIENT" water marketing hype, they add to the problem as vitamins without minerals are a no no especially synthetic vitamins.
