Your body's "potential of hydrogen"—or pH, as it's typically abbreviated—affects every single aspect of your health. One crucial reason for this is that an An incredible 70% of your body's weight is made up of water. For optimal health, that water must have a proper pH balance: not too alkaline, and not too acidic. A perfectly balanced pH reading is 7.4 in your blood and about 7.25 in your tissue. Those numbers mean that every cell in your body is slightly alkaline, as they should be. However, the vast majority of Americans more and more people have dangerously skewed pH balances. The body tries to neutralize excess acid—but to do so it requires key minerals. Since so few individuals take in adequate amounts of those minerals, the body has no choice but to leach them from organs and tissues.
Your body steals essential minerals from your heart ... brain ... bones ... joints ... muscles ... skin ... lungs ... liver ... and every other vital organ. Without these minerals, your bodily systems begin to weaken, and ultimately, they will fail. Once your body begins to rob itself of these minerals in a desperate effort to rectify your skewed pH levels, you may begin to suffer from...
Unfortunately, the body produces enormous amounts of acid every day just to survive. Every cell in your body excretes highly acidic waste products. Only a portion of that waste is burned up, the rest accumulates. And as that waste builds up, the body becomes increasingly acidic.
Many foods and drinks also flood your cells with acid.
*Coffee, soda, beer, wine and distilled spirits are all highly acidic.
*Furthermore, your body releases a virtual tidal wave of acid to digest certain foods, including meat, eggs, milk, white flour, and sugar.
Even so-called healthy foods seriously spike acid levels in your cells:
*Yogurt
*Wheat germ
*Navy and pinto beans
*Plums
*Spinach
*Honey
*Brown rice
*Many types of fish
The modern world inundates your body with even more acid. Acid rain, polluted drinking water, and contaminated air—all of these upset your alkaline/acid ratio. Modern medicines and prescription drugs are also notorious for generating acid in the body.
The Health Dangers of Too Much Acid
*Allergies
*Acne
* cancer : In his remarkable book, Hidden Truth of Cancer, Keiichi Morishita, M.D. shows why cells in an acidic body are the ideal breeding ground for abnormal growth. According to Dr. Morishita, when one of your cells is bombarded with acid, it either... **Survives, but suffers damage to the strand of DNA inside it which can cause it to begin multiplying wildly, or... **Deteriorates and dies, creating more acid in your body—which poisons even more cells... and raises your risk even higher!
The solution is clear: Restore a perfect pH balance in your body—lower your acid levels and raise your alkaline levels—and the deadly cycle can be broken!

*Most grains are acid-forming, except millet and buckwheat, which are considered to be alkaline. Sprouted seeds and grains become more alkaline in the process of sprouting.
*All vegetable and fruit juices are highly alkaline. The most alkali-forming juices are: fig juice, green juices of all green vegetables and tops, carrots, beet, celery, pineapple and citrus juices. Vegetable broth is an extremely alkalizing drink.
*Nat. Phos. (tissue salt no. 10) is an acid neutralizer and acid/alkaline balancer. It reduces acid in the whole body and keeps the digestive system healthy.Sour reflux, heartburn attacks, stomach ulcers and digestive problems indicate that Nat. Phos is badly deficient. For frequent cases of indigestion, keep a bottle of this tissue salt on hand. Take 2 tablets prior to eating and dissolve 2 tablets under the tongue after a meal in order to help the body clean itself of acid build up.Nat. Phos fights excess acidity, which aggravates or causes eczema, hives, eczema, rashes and dry scalp, and it can safely be taken for these types of skin conditions.
<br>**Herbs that contain Nat. Phos : Coriander, cumin, anise and ginger are herbs that aid digestion. Fennel, mint, basil, nettles and lemon balm detoxify the system and contribute to making the body more alkaline. Fresh parsley should be eaten daily by those whose diet is acidic and who are trying to restore their health.**Foods rich in Nat. Phos : Eat plenty of organically grown apples, peaches, apricots, papaya, raisins, asparagus and watermelons which are high in Nat. Phos and are excellent in flushing the body of acidity.
*Maintain an alkaline diet : Remain in good health by consuming a diet that is 70-80% alkaline and 20-30% acid. Avoid digestive upsets and acidity by regularly consuming alkaline foods. Foods that are alkaline are as follows:
*Nuts: The least acidic nuts are almonds. Nuts high in acid are peanuts and walnuts.
