Internal Acid Build Up

Acid rain is an environmental poison spewed by coal-fired electricity plants. Plants, animals, the very rocks and soil are affected by this rain deposited acid residue in ways that limit life.

As an example, petroglyphs, marks on rock cliffs left by prehistoric peoples are disappearing faster than they can be saved. Death and weakening of plants trees, and animals is the result of acid rain. People are affected as well - breathing problems and other illnesses develop from these toxins.

Acidic food and drink act in ways similar to acid rain residue internally for plants and animals. Creation and maintainance of complex molecules is affected, causing important functions to be performed incompletely. The next generation of cells doesn't work as well because of the disorder and ineffectiveness of the current generation from acidic pollution.

During the life time of a plant or animal each cell and part of the cell must be recreated many times. Communication between, perfomance, and energy use is easier for cells in an enviroment that does not include acidic residue. An enviroment without acidic materials allows cells to live longer. Your body accumulates acidic by-products through:

--Diet - main source of acid forming compounds
--Water - may contribute acid through dissovled elements
--Air - as noted, pollution from burning can be taken in as you breathe
--Exercise - makes the body work faster and harder, removing acidic residue
--Transformation and Elimination - the way to remove acidic compounds from the body Acidic compounds are removed only when less are put in than is removed.
--Diet - most foods eaten in the United States are acidic.

Acid forming foods are the order of the day according to the Alkaline/Acidic Food Chart included in Back to the House of Health by Shelly Radford.

The numbers in the typcial food listing below represent pH value with negative meaning acidic and positive meaning alkaline.

--Breakfast: Eggs (to -22), Bacon (-38), Toast (-10), Milk (-1) Coffee (-25).
--Lunch: BLT sandwich -Bacon (-38), Lettuce (+2), Tomato (+13), Bread (-10) with French Fries: Potatoes (+2), Vegetable Oil (-6) and Cola (-30).
--Dinner: Roast Beef (-34) Dinner Rolls (-6) Salad (+6) Beer (-26)

Because most of the foods consumed are acidic, they tend to leave acidic residue in the body as they are used for energy or basic building blocks. As a part of using food, the body must minimize the additon of acidic materals and remove the acidic residue.

The importance of this is questioned by many people.

Limiting internal acidity allows cells to work, grow, and divide as well as possible. Fat is used to store acidic residue until it can be removed from the body. Stored in fat, the only route for removeal of acidic residue is through the liver and kidneys.

When these toxins are removed from your body, your body can remove the fat as well. I know this from personal experience. I lost 30 pounds in about 45 days when I changed my diet and began drinking water at the rate of 1 fluid ounce for each 2 pounds of body weight each day. With no hunger pains, I lost this weight by eating about 25% acidic foods and the rest alkaline.

My blood chemistry became normal as well, according to my doctor. A prescrption to control blood fats was avoided as my lab results became normal. I was able to cut my diabetes medication in half.

Since I've stayed on this diet, these positive changes have stayed with me. Discussing this with my doctor, he said to continue doing this, saying "Whatever you are doing, don't stop."

I can't sit on this - I'm compelled to spread the word.

There are literally tens of millions of people in the United States alone that have similar medical issues as me. All can benefit from this course of action.

Do you think it could help you? Are you ready to do what works for me? The feeling of hearing good things from your doctor for a change can't be beat. The web site at the link below holds what you need to know.
