Acid and alkaline diet
[back]
Disease Theory
[The blood needs to be alkaline (7.4 pH) so alkaline forming foods and water are essential for good health. Cola is 2.5 pH.]

Quotes:
"If the condition of our extracellular fluids, especially the blood,
becomes acidic, our physical condition will first manifest tiredness, proneness
to catching colds, etc. When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then
manifests pains and suffering such as headaches, chest pains, stomach aches,
etc. According to Keiichi Morishita in his Hidden
Truth of Cancer, if the blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body
inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body such
so that the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition.
As this tendency continues, such
areas increase in acidity and some cells die; then these dead cells themselves
turn into acids. However, some other cells may adapt in that environment. In
other words, instead of dying - as normal cells do in an acid environment - some
cells survive by becoming abnormal cells. These abnormal cells are called
malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function nor with
our own DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow indefinitely and
without order. This is cancer."------Herman Aihara,
"Dr. Kancho Kuninaka, one of the pioneers of the
alkaline water treatment in Japan, states that virtually without exception, the
patients with high blood pressure have an acidosis condition.
He has many successful clinical cases where the acid free high pH
alkaline water lowered blood pressure, (he) has been
clinically treating diabetes quite successfully by use of alkaline water. He
reports that a 49 year old insurance company employee was diagnosed by the
company physician as having a case of insulin-independent diabetes mellitus.
With only one month's use of alkaline water, the sugar count came down to
virtually an undetectable level, from 300mg/dl one month previously.
In general, degenerative diseases
are the results of acid waste buildups within us. When we are born, we have the
highest alkaline mineral concentration and also the highest body pH. From that
point on, the normal process of life is to gradually acidify. That is why these
degenerative diseases do not occur when you are young. They occur usually after
40. The difference between the 20 year old you and the 40 year old you
physically is that you have accumulated more acidic wastes at 40 than at 20."---Reverse Aging by Sang Whang
