The human blood has many God-given
life-saving properties; when it is exposed to air, rapid oxidation
takes place and it becomes strong acid. It thickens under acidic
conditions, and hardens under strong acidic conditions to stop
bleeding.
Blood gets thicker as we get older
because blood becomes more acidic as we age. The foods that we eat
burn with oxygen to give us energy, and then they turn into acidic
wastes. Our body tries its best to get rid of these wastes through
urine and perspiration. Unfortunately, we cannot get rid of them
one hundred percent; we must store the leftovers somewhere in our
body. This is the process of acidification; which, in turn, is the
process of aging.
Since acid coagulates blood, blood
circulation around the areas of acid accumulation becomes poor and
all kinds of aging diseases develop. Going one step further, blood
thickens with clots and fatal results could happen. For this,
modern medicine developed blood thinners to force blood to be fluid,
even under acidic conditions. Rather than eliminating the cause of
blood thickening, we rely on symptomatic treatments, regardless of
all the negative side effects.
When blood thinners are used, blood is
thinned and clotting time is elongated. For this reason, doctors
cannot operate on patients while they are on blood thinners or
aspirin, which also acts as a blood thinner. Blood thinners
diminish a valuable life-saving property of blood. Some Chinese
'natural' herbal medicines are merely blood thinners; this can fool
the patients as if they are getting more energy. People may not be
aware that they are taking blood thinners, but their blood may not
coagulate when exposed to the coagulation mechanism. For this
reason, doctors must order a coagulation test before any surgery.
In order to prevent blood from
coagulation, we must remove the cause of blood thickening, which is
excess acid. We must reduce the accumulated acid from our body,
thus keeping the blood fluid and maintaining blood's ability to stop
bleeding when there is a cut. Commonly known methods to reduce acid
from our body are: (1) stop drinking soft drinks, especially high
acidic colas; (2) exercise and sweat out the acids; (3) eat more
alkaline foods.
These methods are not easy to follow
through. The various dietary means are very confusing with
different experts recommending different things. Furthermore,
dietary means of exclusion can create nutritional deficiency
problems. The most effective and cleanest way to reduce acid from
our body is drinking alkaline water.
The Japanese have been drinking
alkaline water for over 50 years. They have developed water
ionizers to make acid/alkaline water from regular tap water. Here
in the US, water ionizers from Japan and Korea are now available.
Search 'alkaline water' or 'water ionizer' on the Internet to find
out more about alkaline water and water ionizers, or visit these
websites.
Water ionizers are expensive and are
non-portable; and if the original tap water contains small amounts
of minerals, they cannot produce high pH (about 9 to 10) alkaline
water. The latest development in this field of making alkaline
water is the alkaline concentrate, AlkaLife.
AlkaLife comes in a 1.25 oz bottle,
two drops in a cup of water change that water to a high pH alkaline
water. This can be visually demonstrated by a pH testing solution;
the water color changes from bluish green to bright purple. The
acid neutralizing effects of alkaline water made by AlkaLife is the
same as alkaline water made by an ionizer.
More and more MDs are accepting the
fact that too much acid is the cause of diseases and death. After
all, cancer cells are acidic while healthy cells are alkaline.
Unfortunately, MDs miss the point of using alkaline water to reduce
acid; they all turn to alkaline food for the solution. It is very
difficult to change one's eating habits.
During the past decade, scientific
advancements in healthcare have opened our eyes to non-Western
preventive healthcare methods such as water ionizers,
alkalinity/acid balance, magnetic, and far-infrared technologies for
non-invasive natural health maintenance. This country must keep up
with these advancements to maintain a healthy population and reduce
the ever-escalating healthcare costs.
Accumulation of Acid is
Equal to Aging
The
aging process as the accumulation of non-disposed acidic waste
within the body. Based on this definition, the reduction of
accumulated acidic waste is the reverse aging process. Now
available is a water additive product called AlkaLife, an alkaline
concentrate made of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide in a 3
to 1 ratio respectively.
A
paper written by Drs. Lynda
Frassetto and Anthony Sebastian of the University of California, San
Francisco, Department of Medicine and General Clinical Research
Center is titled Age and Systemic Acid-Base Equilibrium: Analysis of
Published Data, published in 1996.
In
layman's terms, the article states that as we get old we have more
acid radicals [H+] and less bicarbonate [HCO3-],
which brings about age-related metabolic acidosis. This paper is
the recognition and treatment of the symptoms, accepting aging as an
inevitable fact of life.
Let
us consider that the acid accumulation is a cause
of physiological aging. Therefore, we can view the reduction of
accumulated acid as the reversal of physiological aging. In
addition, acid reduction can prevent all kinds of degenerative aging
diseases.
Most
everyone else who recognizes acid as the culprit attempts to reduce
acid by harder and less effective means, i.e., diet and exercise.
An alternative is to use of potassium and sodium to neutralize acid
and bring about acid/alkaline balance. It is well recognized that
not only is acid/alkaline balance important, but potassium/sodium
balance in the human body is equally, if not more critical.
Describing Health
The
best definition of health is 'ease of flow'. When everything flows
easy in your body, you have good health.
Acid slows down the flow of blood.
As
we know, 'sickness' is referred to as 'disease'. Water is a strong
solvent and more than 90% of blood is water; therefore, the blood
carries everything around in the body: nutrients, vitamins,
minerals, waste products, dead cells, etc.
Acid:
As
it is known, acid coagulates blood. Aftershave lotion is acid water
with perfume added to it. Mouthwash is acid water with mint added
to it. They both stop bleeding, if there were any bleeding. It is
the acid that stops the bleeding. This is a life saving property of
blood to save us from bleeding to death. When there is a cut, blood
comes out and meets oxygen in the air and becomes strongly acidic.
When this occurs, the blood forms a scab and stops bleeding.
Because of this life saving property of blood, it gets thick, as
there is an accumulation of acidic waste inside the body.
There are different ways that acid accumulates in the body: a quick
concentrated form such as pulling the muscle or a banged knee; and a
gradual build-up type such as cholesterol in the blood vessels and
fatty acids around the waist. The first case is usually a result of
some type of injury, and there is usually pain associated with it.
The latter case is so gradual that the body adapts with the changing
condition, and there is usually no pain associated with it; by the
time one realizes the change, he or she is over weight. Regardless
of whether there is pain or not, capillaries around the
waste-build-up are clogged by the dried blood caused by acid. This
is a natural chemical process.
If
these build-ups are near the area where nerve endings are, there is
pain associated with it and one does something about it; however, if
the acid build-ups are in places where there are no nerve endings,
one does not feel them and therefore does nothing about it, and they
can continuously grow. By the time one feels something there, it
could be too late to do anything about it. Note that cancer cells
are acidic while healthy cells are alkaline.
It
is generally known that the adult human body has too much acid and
that something must be done to reduce the acids within the body.
There are three well-known methods to reduce acid in the body: diet,
exercise and liposuction. They all have risks involved. The more
effective and easier way, without risks, is to drink alkaline
water. It is a scientific fact that alkaline neutralizes acid. The
Japanese have been drinking alkaline water for over half a century,
and they are the longest living race on earth.
