The Following information is taken from on-line conference notes - seminar 17 January 2012.
The guest Doctor was Dr Theodore Barnaby: his theme was; "Alkaline or Die":
(as always we recommend that you discuss your situation with your qualified health care provider).
Key points were:
- When blood pH is too acidic, there is too much tissue waste in the body.Blood pH needs to be maintained at 7.365 to 7: Diet Coke has a pH of 2.5, and meat 3.5.
- Every change of 1 point in pH = a +/- 10 times change in acid/alkaline balance: a reading of 7 to 8 = about 10 times more alkaline.
- So when you are below 7.365 you are deteriorating from the inside out; which means essential minerals are "borrowed" from healthy tissue as the body fights to maintain this balance.Highest pH is at about 2pm; lowest about 2am; many people find that they need to go to the bathroom at about this time to get rid of the acid.
- There is a book called: "The pH Miracle" by Robert Young.
- Acid waste is stored in fatty tissues, but not disposed of later.
- A greater load is placed on the kidneys.
- Acid interrupts all healthy cell growth.
- Many symptoms exhibit raised acid levels.
- Food, polution, stress - all raise acid levels.
- You can easily alkaline the water you drink: add a 1/2 teaspoon of (aluminium free - that is no extra added) Sodium Bicarbonate to about a 1/2 litre. (We use MacKenzie's - I checked that aluminium level with them and it's very low).
- We add it to lemon water - so the juice of a lemon added to 1 to 2 litres of water.
- And we also aim to have about 20% acidic foods/drink to 80% alkaline. Not always possible - but by having more alkaine foods/drinks after acidic ones, the balance can be restored.
- The big ones to cut out are: white sugar, many take-away foods; and reduce coffee, alcohol and spirits.
