Acid Alkaline Balance

Question: Alkaline/Acid foods Balance? Reading the websides about Alkaline/Acid foods Balance we don't see what hapen to the level and diminution of uric acid in the blood. Please give me any details you can. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Answer: Raw foods always turn Alkaline once they hit the digestive tract. It doesn't matter if it is a pineapple that is acidic. As long as you don't cook that pineapple, it is alkaline to your body. Anything cooked turns to acid. Cooking takes the life out of the food, causing the digestive tract to have to use it's own enzymes instead of the ones that are naturally occurring in the food. Cooking destroys these enzymes. Using more of your stored enzymes instead of the naturally occurring ones contained in raw foods accelerates the aging process. Your body is constantly trying to compensate for all these cooked foods, digging up it's own enzymes and alkalinity. Digging these things from deep within your own body to balance all the Acidic, dead foods that you eat like cheese, meat, etc. and cooked foods. Your body goes to the Alkalinity stored in your own bones. If you eat more raw fruits and vegetables, this will take some stress off of your body constantly trying to adjust. Weight will melt off, nutrients will be absorbed, constipation will be nonexistent. Aging will slow down. You will age gracefully and not horribly. You will be able to function at an old age. Watch what you eat, it can destroy you. And remember to take a whole food vitamin that hasn't had the ingredients destroyed by heat: http://www.DontForgetToTakeYourVitamins1040.com/HUFFMAN31948

Question: a friend of mine cant seem to change her body from extreme acid to an alkaline balance.? she uses test strips and cant keep it in balance?? She seems to try to do healthy things but it just doesnt change, has anyone dealt with this??

Answer: Drink more water and less juice, also she can take chlorphyll, I know it sounds crazy. They should sell it at her local health store.

Question: Balance the following redox chemical reaction in (a) acid, and in (b) alkaline solution.? FeS + NO3- = Fe3+ + NO2 + S (please show work)

Answer: oxidation half reactions : Fe2+ = Fe3+ + 1e- S2- = S + 2e- reduction half reaction NO3- + 2 H+ + 1e- = NO2 + H2O ) x 3 3 NO3- + 6 H+ + 3 e- = 3 NO2 + 3 H2O Fe2+ = Fe3+ + 1e- S2- = S + 2e- ---------------------------------------------------------- 3 NO3- + 6 H+ + Fe2+ + S2- = 3 NO2 + Fe3+ + S + 3 H2O 3 NO3- + FeS + 6 H+ = Fe3+ + 3 NO2 + S + 3 H2O in acidic solution add 6 OH- on the left and on the right side ( 6 H+ + 6 OH- = 6 H2O) 3 NO3- + FeS + 3 H2O = Fe3+ + 3 NO2 + S + 6 OH- in alkaline solution

Question: Is it true that cancer is caused by a Fungus similar to Candida? I have been hearing that an acidic environment in the body causes candida/yeast to proliferate eventually causing cell damage leading to cancer. And that an acid/alkaline balance is imperitive to preventing cancer. Any info from knowledgeable people who are familiar with this would be appreciated.

Answer: No it isn't true. Cancer is not cause by a fungus; cancer happens when normal cells change so that they grow in an uncontrolled way. This uncontrolled growth causes a tumour to form. And you can't change the acidity of anything in your body except your urine. Your stomach is so acidic that no food can change its acidity - no foods, supplements or anything else can make your stomach or blood less or more acidic. I recommend this article to you, it gives you all the information you need on the subject: Acid/Alkaline Theory of Disease Is Nonsense by Gabe Mirkin, M.D. http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/DSH/coral2.html

Question: Where would be the best place to buy pH Testing kits? I am trying to check my Acid / Alkaline pH Balance, to optimize my health. Looking for some information. Thank you in advance.

Question: Has anyone bought the report at www.dramatic-asthma-relief.com? What do you think about it? Did the report at www.dramatic-asthma-relief.com work for you? Is it the same info you can get from books that cost considerably less that the $50 she wants for an eBook (am I the only person that thinks that's too much money for an eBook which requires no expensive printing or shipping fulfillment???)? I have severe asthma and I want to get off the inhalers. I've started to eliminate wheat and dairy from my diet and I'm trying to incorporate the supplement suggestions from "The Acid Alkaline Balance Diet : An Innovative Program for Ridding Your Body of Acidic Wastes". This book makes a lot of sense to me; just need to stick to the recommendations... Would appreciate hearing from other asthma sufferers who have reversed their asthma through natural methods! Thank you!!

Answer: This is a very important and useful report especially for yourself and your precious family. I used to have a serious allergic symptoms but after I switched those household toxic products to safe, non-toxic products all the symptoms (respiraotry allergy, skin problems...) were gone away forever. Taking a reference to this report if you switch your toxic products to safe products not having those toxic chemical ingredients it will help you and your family health real big time! Please do not think that would be a too much work for you to check all the ingredients! That's for you and your family. Even just switching a laundry detergent can affect your health considerably. (Actually I have a few people who survived from cancer by not using those chemical products for their house work, laundry, cleaning, dish washing... anymore, seriously) So if you want you can download the report free without putting in any of your personal information, here: http://wood.euleesway.com/toxicreport.html and if there is anybody who you think is using too much chemical (toxic) products or having a serious allergy problem please send this report to them, too. I hope it will be a big help for you and your family.

Question: Should my dog's diet be more acid or alkaline? I've recently started eating mostly fresh fruits and vegetables with very little cooking and almost no meat. Can a dog's system support a balanced vegetarian diet?

Answer: No. Dogs should have meat. They are carnivores. Changing them to an all vegetarian diet is unnatural for their bodies. Any mammals diet should be mostly alkaline. Acidic blood creates havoc in the body causing all sorts of diseases and cancers. You probably already knew that.

Question: who is the guy that is the endurance king. record holder. uber marathons etc. his name is stuart ____ ? he broke the world record he set when he was 30. he was 52(?) when he set the new one. the 'today' programme in america had lined him up to record him when he crossed the finish line, but he beat the estimate by days, or perhaps weeks. i heard anthony robbins talking about him this weekend at the excel centre in london. he was a student of social science(?) and went off to see a tribe (in the amazon?), where once a year they ALL run 70 odd miles in a day for pleasure. he knows stuff about the acid alkaline balance that the body needs. i'm a bit sketchy on info but hopefully this will help.

Answer: She's right ya know .. it is Stuart Little. Quite a mouse. Good Luck! :)

Question: is meat acidic or alkaline? If meat is acidic, i would have to eat some thing opposite of acid like alkaline stuff to balance my ph level right? So if i am a big meat eater, it would help for me to eat lots of green vegetables?

Answer: All meat is very acidic! You should it max 20% acidic food and min 80% alkaline food such as green vegetables, sprouts, grasses etc. to eat according to an alkaline lifestyle.

Question: I get 10-15 "colds" a year. I'm very health conscious, but I'm worried that I'm doing something wrong. I exercise, don't smoke and have cut sugar, white flour and processed foods out of my diet. I eat mainly organic, and have an excellent acid/alkaline balance. I take a multivitamin as well as omega-3 supplements. And yet, I get colds all the time. Anytime "it's going around" I'm the first to get it. Sometimes they linger (at a low level) and I never fully recover for months. I have been like this all my life. What can I do? Does this mean that I more susceptible to dangerous diseases?

Answer: Do you wash your hands or use hand sanitizers? Everytime, you eat you should have clean hands.

Question: Trying to filter out psychic static? Hi, Long story short, we're trying to obtain information from a man in a coma using a 'psychic'. I must admit that I'm not a fan of the term, but that's where we're at. My question is, if I take a grapefruit and a lime, cut both in half and then insert the lime halves into each of the grapefruit halves so that a 10-12 year old child could stick their thumb and first 3 fingers in the grapefruit whilst getting their little finger into the lime, will this provide an adequate defence against psychic static? I've covered the acid/alkaline balance, and the tether to this plane, but is that enough? I can't afford another lawsuit involving the death of a minor. Anyone have any better suggestions, or methods to reduce the back flow that results when 'scanning' this guy? Edit - no drums I'm afraid, the psychic's agent has suggested that this would infact hinder performance. That is if you were being serious. Anyone else? Edit - I'm afraid that quartz crystals don't work in the way that you've suggested, especially in a circle. At best, that's a defensive tactic, and we need something to prevent transition whilst scanning. In response to your other point, the psychic isn't 'rewarded' in a monetary fashion, and the psychic is only about 10 years old. The agent I mentioned isn't a booking agent, more of a handling agent, so there's no issue there (but I understand why you've said it though). Also, I've been assured that micro movements would have no influence at all, considering that the psychic isn't working in a physical environment. In addition, we've also tried to ionise and de-ionise the lab, we've tried crystal-saline solutions to assist integration and we've removed most of the frontal lobe activity in the catatonic subject, but none of this has proved effective. The psychic is at a loss, despite their lack of years their rating is formidable so I don't think experience is an issue either

Answer: Microphysical movements may cause this 'static' I suggest anyone present at scanning should arrange to wear a restrictive garment to restrain these unwanted movements.

Question: How do I balance this oxidation reaction equation? OK, it is aluminium reacting with nitrate ions in ALKALINE solution to give aluminate ions (AlO2)- and ammonia (NH3). I can balance the aluminium oxidation in acid solution as Al + H2O ---> (AlO2)- + 2H+ but because it's alkaline I cant add H+ it has to be OH-. Can anyone help please? :)

Answer: I get: 8 Al + 3 NO3- + 5 OH- + 2 H20 -> 8 AlO2- + 3 NH3 I did this by putting variables before all ions and solving the five equations in 6 variables. (4 equations for the atoms and one for the charge)

Question: Hcg still present and feeling movements 3 months after miscarriage.? I thought I miscarried in August. I was only a week or so pregnant. I had two ultrasounds in early sept., both showed empty sac, and my uterus measured 5 weeks. My blood tests still indicate HCG at low levels...decreasing little by little since September after a surge. However, I am gaining a little weight. I notice that I am having trouble with my waistline. I have been feeling little movements, mostly when I am sitting. I wonder if I am in fact still pregnant. My midwife says that we will not be able to detect anything on an ultrasound with this low a level of HCG(4 hundreds?). I have been bleeding for about 9 days, with some clotting. I eat predominantly raw foods and wonder if maybe that has something to do with low HCG levels. As I know not much research has been done on the subject of Raw Vegan diet, but I do know that it changes your alkaline/acid balance...and a lot more (for the better)! So, what else could those little movements be? Any ideas?

Answer: Raw foods have nothing to do with HCG. HCG is produced by a pregnancy, and foods don't affect that. I would call your caregiver and demand an ultrasound. IF you miscarried in early September or August, you would be able to see something going on. If you are continuing to bleed for 9 days, you need to see if the products of conception are still there--if so, you may need a D & C.

Question: Milk and Spicy/Hot Food: Medical View? I learned in pharmacology class that drinking milk to recover from the temporary effects of spicy food is actually not recommended. Physiologically, the body naturally secretes acid to balance alkaline intake. So I can understand how dairy would not be a good idea due to the increase acid from the spicy food and compensation from the dairy. I've searched online for tips on how to overcome extremely spicy food, particularly for hot wings, and all sites have people suggesting MILK. Let me know what you guys think. Insight from anyone will be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer: Hmmm, I've never heard that "pharmacology" analysis, but I know for sure that milk and milk products DO cut the heat from spicy/hot foods, and they do it immediately. (I like a bit of sour cream or yogurt mixed into spicy foods if I don't drink milk afterwards). "Milk contains casein, a lipophilic (fat-loving) protein that surrounds and washes away the fatty capsaicin molecules (which cause the burn) in much the same way that soap surrounds grease and allows to be rinsed away)." In the experiments I've seen and heard of, the main things that seem to help are: ...milk products: milk, yogurt, sour cream, cream, ice cream, creamy sauces, etc... (cold ones like cold milk even better) ...bread ...beer, etc. (alcohol and alcoholic beverages/ethanol are solvents for capsaicin so can help dissolve/wash it away, but may need a lot... cold ones even better) ...fatty, oily foods, cheese (oils are solvents for capsaicin) ...sugar directly on the tongue (...or only a distraction?) (there's loads of info on those things online and why they work --and why others won't work) HTH, Diane B. P.S. Maybe you should order a small side of ice cream with your hot wings! ...and have dessert-with-appetizer. .

Question: Where can i find Alkaline? I saw it being added to a protein shake. Is there such a product? Where can it be bought? Its considered an Acid Balance.

Answer: There are several "alkaline" products on the market... powders, pills, waters etc. I would go to your local health food store or a Wholefoods. If you order off the internet be sure to find a reputable site.(There are a lot of scammers on the web) Just a tip though in case you didn't know...look into apple cider vinegar and all of it's benefits. One of which includes making the body more alkaline and less acidic.

Question: on alkaline diet is there side effects? okay, recently i had an experience of a kidney stone, i havent had another one and my naturepath told me my diet is all acid and no wonder i fromed a kidney stone, so to prevent any forming again i am on an alkaline diet to balance my body out, i am wondering if there is any side effects as i feel tired, dizzy, fatigue, aching all over. is this normal?

Answer: You are probably experiancing metabolic alkalosis, a condition where your blood pH increases above the normal levels of 7.35-7.45. This increase can have devistating effects on your body and can even lead to death. Your naturepath was completely incorrect in telling you to do this, STOP IMMEDIATELY!!! Instead just do a regular balanced diet, and for some people drinking lots of water with lemon will actually help to break down the calcium stones. Hope this helps and good luck.
