Warning!
While
it may be true that many people suffer from acidosis, it is also true that many other people suffer from alkalosis.
Some people need to change in one direction, but some other people need to change in a different direction. The dynamic
equilibrium that should exist in whole body pH is complex. I find it to be fascinating. However, many people attempt
to over-simplify this issue into sound-bites such as "Alkalize or Die" or "All disease is caused by acid".
Bullshit!
Please
watch the first seven videos. The issue of acid-alkaline balance is extremely complex. You don't need to understand
all the complexity. Just appreciate it. Please watch the videos in their entirety simply to appreciate how complicated
this issue is. Once you appreciate the body's complexity, the people who attempt to sell you stuff by over-simplifying the
situation with sound-bites will be exposed as the liars (or fools) that they are.
The bottom line is this: If you make
a change in your diet, activity, environment, etc., AND YOU THEN FEEL BETTER, then you probably made a beneficial change.
If you made such a change (based on someone's claim that everyone should do so), and the results that you experience are minor
or even negative, please realize that their recommendations may not be right FOR YOU.
In the world of acid-alkaline
balance MARKETING, anyone who promotes an idea that everyone should push their body in the same direction is statistically
likely to be correct about 50% of the time. There are 6 billion+ people in the world, so most likely they will be able
to cherry-pick their results to provide evidence of success. But just as many people will have suffered through negative
results.
In my experience, I have met many people who have attempted to "alkalize" their system and their
health has improved. BUT, I have met just as many people who have correctly been advised to add additional acids into
their system (hydrochloric acid, vinegar, acidophilus, etc.) and they improved their health by doing so.
Please remember
that measurements of the pH of blood, urine, saliva, etc. DO NOT tell you what is happening on a cellular level. The only
reasonable measurement is your honest answer to the fundamental question...
"How do you feel?"
