Acidity & Alkalinity in the Body - A Definitive Lesson, taken from watching several times a DVD "Alkaline 101" by Bill Downs.
Lacking Minerals, Electrolytes, & Oxygen? You're subject to:
Kidney stones - joint pain - indigestion - GERD - acid reflux - cancer - bone spurs - muscle twitches & charley horses - placquing of arteries - heart problems - muscle scar tissue - ligament tears & damage - gallstones - enough?
Buffering minerals are calcium, magnesium, phospate, chloride, sodium, which you must get from diet. Micronized forms are the best because they are ionized in the blood.
The body is dependant on "buffers" - minerals & electrolytes - for keeping vital fluids alkaline, & is constantly trying to maintain a pH of close to 7.4 in which is slightly alkaline. If vital fluids {saliva is one} aren't mildly alkaline you can't use oxygen. If blood pH drops a few 10ths of a point sickness will happen.
In chemistry brackets [ ] mean "concentration of."
[H] hydrogen ions < - {The difference is oxygen} -> [oH] hydroxyls.
Aerobic Metabolism burns sugar as glucose using oxygen to create energy. - Good
Anaerobic Metabolism means oxygen is missing. "An" means without.
- Bad
When oxygen is present one molecule of sugar/glucose produces 36 molecules of energy called ATP , Adenosine Triphosphate. This is the Krebs Cycle otherwise known as Oxidative Respiration.
When the body is acidic one molecule of sugar/glucose produces 2 molecules of ATP. So a "fall back" system kicks in - fermentation, which needs 18 times more sugar.
Do you crave sugar or carbohydrates?
If vital fluids aren't slightly alkaline & pH balance is wrong in body parts, oxygen can't be used correctly. If oxygen use isn't efficient you'll end up with a lot of free radicals.
Note: oxygen is used like "cash" to keep you alive & healthy. Places on earth where people live in a more oxygen-rich atmosphere rarely contract the diseases common to others, including cancers.
Man-made chemicals & the nutrient-depletion in our soils, thus our foods, is what caused all the diseases worldwide.
When you are acidic one sugar molecule broken apart = 2 molecules of lactic acid. Lactic acid damages cell membranes, causes pain, stimulates inflammatory disorders. Inflammation is known to cause heart problems & all kinds of "disease."
Anaerobes Develop from an Acidic Body
Cancer is an anaerobe. Others anaerobes are parasites, yeasts/fungi, mold, bad bacteria, worms. They thrive in acid and love sugar & rotting molecules.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Heinrich_Warburg - 1931 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine - cancer grows in anaerobic conditions.
Some clinics use ozone to destroy cancer - it is rich in oxygen. You neeed to clean up the body's environment by giving it the nutrients it needs.
Cancer is bathed in lactic acid. Remove the lactic acid - create an alkaline environment.
Healthful Ways to an Alkaline Body
{I've heard reports on nano-particle products & they aren't safe espeically in skin-care products.}
See http://www.ewg.org/ a consumer advocate group, for more information.
Ionized minerals - green powders like spirulina, chlorophyll - juice with raw fruits & veggies - and stay away from box/packaged foods {mac & cheese} - processed meats - white foods {except cauliflower} - sodas.
See the PRObiotics page for helpful information for Moms, Babies, Everyone.
Ways to Help Your Body Be of Better Service to You
Plant-based digestive enzymes.
Plenty of rest.
Saccharides have been around for thousands of years & "prescribed" by natural doctors for a variety of health problems.
Certain mushrooms are an example. Some tree saps also contain sacchardies. They are part of the structure of health but are almost devoid in today's foods & even many plants.
Corn is *universally* known to be contaminated with fungus.
Plant sterols provide raw materials the body can use to make & balance the endocrine system.
See the Essential Fatty Acids page to better understand why we need them.
Molecularly-distilled Omega 3's & lecithin or make sure you trust the company you buy from. These are Essential for health. Your body can't make the nutrients it needs without plenty of sources.
Don't use a microwave - studies show they change the structure of nutrients & increase white blood cells.

Blood Profiles Show Acidity
In medicine a chemistry blood profile looks for Lactate Dehydrogenase, LDH, an enzyme.
The higher it is the more acidic you are & the body tries to balance vital fluids. How? By pulling minerals first from saliva, which isn't a vital fluid. If that doesn't solve problems then the muscles are targarted.
When the body thinks it's running risk of annihilating muscle tissue it starts drawing from bone which is calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate & others. Minerals from bones, rocks, & shells are hard to be broken apart {ionized} for use, so little parts can land in the kidneys, arteries, other places.
It takes a lot of acid to split apart calcium carbonate from bone {have acid reflux?} These minerals are tightly bound. In food they are loosely bound with organic fatty acids. Calcium citrate along with amino acids, citric acid etc. are big molecules that are ionized, so the body can use them.
In the blood minerals are ionized - not bound to other things.
Alkaline Intracellular {Minerals are Needed Inside Cells}
Extracellular fluids {Minerals are Needed Outside cells}
Senate Document 264
In 1936 the United States Senate issued Document 264 relating to proper food mineral balances presented by Mr. Fletcher. The pioneers of this era and the genius in the field of nutrition demonstrated that countless human ills stem from the fact that impoverished soil in America no longer provides plant foods with the mineral elements essential to human nourishment and health!
_____
The buffers Co2 & biconbonate come from air & water. Co2 is injected into the blood by lungs. Bicarbonate/Co2 balance is maintained by the kidney. It makes me wonder if that's a main reason people develop renal problems. They're too acidic.
Other organs help "compensate" some.
