Experimentation has shown that rosacea, acne, eczema and even psoriasis can probably be signs of mild acidosis, and the acidic joint fluid found in some rheumatoid arthritis sufferers is thought to have a direct correlation with their painful inflammation. An acid condition can even inhibit the assimilation of vital nutrients from the foods we eat, and just as Dr. Hay found in 1933, studies have demonstrated that acidosis can be a launching-pad for many chronic conditions.
How does your pH get out of equilibrium?
One answer can surprise you... food protein, which is vital for maintaining your health, can also create an acidic condition in your body's pH equilibrium. States Dr. Ted Morter, Jr., a famous pH expert, 'The paradox of protein is that it's not only essential (to life), but also potentially health destroying.'
Imagine that! The same protein that you require to live can actually over-burden your cells turning them toxic and acidic! And remember... an acidic body pH condition promotes accelerated aging, system degeneration and increased susceptibility to sickness and disease.
What else influences pH and causes it to become unbalanced? A mild acidosis condition (an overabundance of acid in the blood) can be caused by improper diet, but also by poor lifestyle habits or toxic emotional states. The amount of acid in the body can increase through ingestion of acid-forming foods, but it can also be altered by an abnormal metabolism or kidney malfunction. As we age, our body's systematic removal of excess acid has started to slow down (the lungs are not removing as much acid in the shape of carbon dioxide; the kidneys aren't capable to excrete as much acid through the urine and the skin does not eliminate as much acid through perspiration). This is why you sometimes feel like you need a new carburettor.
The Ideal pH Balance
Although it seems a bit illogical, we need to remember that our bodies metabolize acid foods as alkaline and metabolize alkaline foods as acid. Acid foods (citrus fruits, vegetables, vinegar and other fermented foods) all become alkaline when consumed and metabolized and so are called 'Alkaline-forming foods'.
On the other hand, alkaline foods (meats, flour, sugar, soft drinks, alcohol, aspirin and several medications) are metabolized by the organism into 'acid-forming foods.' That's why the average American diet of hamburgers and processed food can and commonly does contribute to a condition named 'mild acidosis.' Although you can still consume some acid-forming foods, you may require to work on improving your diet (60-80% alkaline-forming foods and 20-40% acid-forming foods) and give your organism an opportunity to heal from distress and disease.
