What is Acidity and Alkalinity?
If something is alkaline, that means that it’s on the high end of the pH scale. The pH
is measured using a scale that starts at 1 and goes to 14. At the center of the scale
is the pH of 7. So if something is pH balanced, it has a pH of 7. Anything that has a
pH balance below 7 is acidic, and anything above 7 is alkaline.
Acidity And Alkalinity In Our Diets
An excerpt from www.Supreme-Greens.Info
Today's lifestyle causes a multitude of disorders and malfunctions in the metabolism
of our bodies. Despite the efforts of the Food and Drug Administration and the
Environmental Protection Agency, our food supply, drinking water, air and soil are
becoming increasingly contaminated with toxic chemicals. Never before has the
human body been presented with such a heavy burden of foreign substances to
metabolize and eliminate thus taxing the body beyond its natural capabilities of
detoxification.
Many people just don't feel good anymore. Some find themselves being much more
susceptible to colds, or to whatever "bug" is currently going around. Much more
serious are the increasing cases of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, rheumatoid
arthritis, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, and fibromyalgia. "Health" and
"wellness" have become relative terms.
Low-level toxicity from many sources can be very difficult to detect. The combined
action of all these toxins creates a "toxic cocktail" effect which can seriously weaken
the body and the mind through a process we call "fermentation" or the over-
acidification of the blood and tissue as a result of the proliferation of yeast, fungus,
and bacteria.
Yeast and fungus are single cell life forms which inhabit the air, soil, water, and many
of the foods we eat. They are more highly developed than the intermediate states of
bacteria or the early stages of viruses. Over the years, they have developed into
over 500,000 different species. They are opportunists and survivalists. They are
constantly looking for new places to house themselves where they may begin to
colonize and proliferate. Being that they are single cell life forms, they can only be
seen under a microscope but once colonized, these cells make a visible presence in
the form of mushrooms, and molds on food.
Yeast, fungus, bacteria, mold, and viruses tend to house themselves in very specific
sites in the body, depending on their particular requirements for nutrients and
colonization conditions. All are capable of causing severe fermentation through the by-
products of their metabolism, which enter the extracellular fluid or the blood and then
are distributed throughout the body. This culminates in the over-acidification of the
blood and tissues which systemically poison and destroy the cells of the body. This
condition we call over-acidification is a direct result of an inverted way of eating - the
abundance of animal protein, especially red meat and pork, dairy products (milk,
cheese, ice cream), sugar in any form (sucrose, fructose, glucose). Therefore, there
is only one sickness and one disease.
The primary source of nourishment for yeast, fungus, and bacteria is sugar. As these
organisms feed off the sugar and proteins of our bodies they produce and excrete
waste called toxins. These toxins effect us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The
solution to this growing problem is to cleanse the blood and nourish the cells. We do
this by eliminating those foods which create over-acidification and eating more foods
that are alkaline. Yeast, fungus, bacteria, mold, and virus can only survive in an acid
base, they cannot survive in an alkaline base. It is, therefore, very important that
there is a proper ration between acid an alkaline foods in the diet. When an ideal ratio
is maintained, yeast fungus, bacteria, mold, and viruses will revert back to their
normal healthy state. The ideal ration in a normal body is 4 parts alkaline to 1 part
acid which will allow the body to maintain a pH factor of 7.3. To avoid a lengthy
chemistry lesson, we will get right to the point that pH refers to the relative
concentration of Hydrogen (H+) ions in a solution. Low pH values indicate higher
concentrations of Hydrogen ions or acids, and high pH values indicate low
concentrations of Hydrogen ions or alkaline. For example, 10 to -1 is more acidic
than 10 to -14.
An ideal diet should consist of dark green and yellow vegetables, soy beans, sprouted
grains and nuts, and essential fatty acids. This ideal way of eating would reduce our
susceptibility to toxins, detoxify the body, and reduce or prevent future exposures
allowing for cellular regeneration leading to "health" and "wellness."

Health Benefits of Chlorophyll
The benefits of various green foods seem related to their chlorophyll content.
Chlorophyll has the power to regenerate our bodies at the molecular and cellular
level. It is known to help cleanse the body, fight infection, help heal wounds, and
promote the health of the circulatory, digestive, immune, and detoxification systems.
Chlorophyll consumption increases the number of red blood cells and, therefore,
increase oxygen utilization by the body. More
The Importance of Having A Healthy Colon For Enhancing Health
The colon is a hollow tube-like organ, also known as the large intestine and large
bowel. It’s part of the digestive tract, where food is processed to create energy and
rid the body of waste. It measures approximately 1.5 meters in length and is located
after the small intestine. The large intestine is mainly responsible for storing waste,
absorbing water and salts (which travel from the small intestine), absorbing some
vitamins, and eliminating body wastes from the system.
A healthy colon is essential to a healthy body. It must handle the bulk of the food we
eat. When the colon is working properly, its peristaltic motions (muscular, and wave
like) move food through the system and eliminate unassimilated substances (waste)
within a few hours of eating. When the colon is clean and normal we experience
health and well-being. When the colon is sluggish, body wastes accumulate and
constipation occurs. As a result, the level of health declines. Colon Cleansing

Essiac For Skin Problems:
Part of an interview with Dr. Marijah McCain about the many benefits of Essiac Tea
by Lanny Messinger
"That’s what I found so mind-boggling about this tea. It wasn’t just for cancer; it’s
our number one formula now that we use for any kind of skin ailment, hives,
psoriasis, especially acne. It works wonders with acne because the skin is the last
eliminatory organ. So when the liver is toxic, the poisons start coming out the skin.
As soon as you detox the liver, the skin goes back to normal." More

Antioxidants - Your Best Defense Against Disease and Aging
by Brad Bahr
Studies support the benefits of eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. This is due to
their high antioxidant value. Why are antioxidants so important? Because they have a
proven track record of fighting free radicals.
Your body is being constantly attacked by very harmful substances known as free
radicals or oxygen radicals. Free radicals can destroy your cells, tissues and organs.
Free radicals are highly unstable molecules that are naturally formed inside our bodies
by the process of oxidation. They are normal by products of everyday functions like
digestion and physical activity. Free radicals also come from outside sources, such as
smoking, environmental pollution, and synthetic chemicals that are added to our
water and food. More
