Alkalizing

[Guest guest]

Wow, Karma,

I'm going to have to check into this. It doesn't seem as if I've lost an ounce breathing, even though I do enjoy many of the other benefits.

I was starting to gain back some of what I lost and just panicking as to what type of eating program to try next without depriving myself. Just recently I got the book, Picture Perfect Weight Loss, out of the Library. I've been eating lots of food and I've lost 6 pounds so far. Including chocolate! I also got the book Volumentrics out of the library. The books are based on the same principles.

I also noticed that when I stopped my 20 minutes of breathing a day, I did start to see the scale slowly move up, even though I was walking either 2 & 1/2 to 5 miles a day. So breathing is working one way or another. Now I want to check out this alkaline thing. This could be the final missing piece to my puzzle.

Thanks Karma for your very interesting research!! (I am assuming that I can get these testing strips at the health food store or a drug store.)

Hi Everybody,

For those of you who might have missed my posts because I didn't post it to this list. I have been studying why some people are slow losers and some people aren't. BodyFlex, Oxycise, Life Lift and the other Deep Breathing methods help our body to become Alkaline. I think that is one of the reasons we are able to lose inches and pounds by just breathing in the beginning. The problem is that plateau! Why are some people fast losers and some people slow losers or NON losers? I think Alkalinity might play a pretty important role in that question.

I think we discussed the importance of having your essential fats in your diet. It is important to have a small amount of fat in your diet each day. Our bodies need the good stuff, not the bad stuff. I didn't have a problem with this because I basically follow the Zone way of combining food and it very specifically says to add fat to each meal, the good fat like Olive Oil. Or eat Salmon three times a week. I believe that I read in one of the books on Good Fat that Olive Oil actually turns Alkaline in the body. Yet another reason to use it. I believe it was the Extra Virgin Olive Oil that is Alkaline.

Even though I am vegetarian, I was having problems getting alkaline. I think it is because I tend to like the sugars and breads which are really acid forming not to mention mucous forming causing a lot of problems in the colon. In my studying of Alkalinity, I actually went around and asked some of my "skinny" friends to do the tongue test with my pH papers. I found that they were alkaline! I WASN'T So, how do I get alkaline? I have really squewed up my body on this one because of all the dieting that I had done in the past. AND my tendency to prefer sweets over fresh foods. I do eat raw foods, and drink live juice yet couldn't seem to get my body to stay Alkaline!

I started carrying some new products and have been using them. They are the Body Rescue Products. They are Alkalizing Products and do seem to be helping. I am becoming Alkaline! Yes!!! I can put the paper on my tongue and it turns green! Before it would stay yellow. (Acid)

I am drinking the tea and I am taking the Alkalizing Drink as a couple of the snacks during the day. I used to grab a handful of something, now I am drinking an Alkalizing Drink instead and it is really helping me to get past my plateau. I have put together a web page that tells about it. http://www.loaves-n-fishes.com/bodyrescuebyraenamorgan.htm

Hope Everyone Has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Just wanted to share.

I think that you can get the pH Hydrion papers from most local health food stores. If you can't, I do sell them on my site. They are on the Alkalizing Body Rescue page. http://loaves-n-fishes.com/bodyrescuebyraenamorgan.htm They are called BODY RESCUE BY RAENA MORGAN-PH TESTING TAPE W/ COLOR CARD BOX and cost $10.00 per roll on my site. They retail for $12.50 a box, but I sell things from 10 - 30% discount off retail from my site.

This has been an amazing discovery for me. I had heard of the alkaline vs. acid thing for quite some time. I had just never investigated it myself. It is amazing to see the paper change depending on what you eat. I though that an orange which is acid would make the paper stay yellow (acid), but NO it turned green as in alkaline. Some very interesting experimenting on this subject when you have the paper to test yourself with. I test first thing in the morning. I have also tested after eating to see how that works too.

The bodies true pH is supposed to be measured in the morning as I understand it though.

Karma-can you recommend a good book that talks about alkalizing? What do you know about the effects and properties of apple cider vinegar on this subject?

Thanks a million

[Guest guest]

Ethleen,

I have several books on apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar I believe turns alkaline in the body also. I will have to check on that for sure. I read the following books to learn more about alkalinity vs. acid:

Body Rescue! A weight Normalization Plan by Raena This book is hard to get. I used to sell it, but my supplier no longer carries it. You might be able to find one at http://abebooks.com They sell hard to find books. Or you can contact Raena Enterprises, Inc. P.O. Box 922, Fargo, ND 58107-0922

Back to Eden by Jethro Kloss talks about it as does the Edgar Cayce teachings. Most of Dr. Ann Wigmore's books also talk about it.

Another book is: The Cleanse Cookbook by Dreyer. You can buy it from me or you can buy it directly from and she will autograph it for you. her e-mail is seechristine@... http://www.transformyourlife.com/index.htm

Another book that has recipes for alkaline and acid is: Food Combining for Vegetarians - The Original Hay Diet by Jackie Le Tissier

Hi Karma,

I'm finally interested in alkalizing. What types of supplements cause

your body to become more alkalized? Do Spirulina, barley, and chlorophyll

alkalize? I remember you posting about green foods doing it. I'm

interested in caps. rather than something to drink. I'm a wimp when it

comes to drinking weird stuff, even cough syrup. :-o I know that's crazy,

but that's the way I am. You got to love me. LOL

Thanks!

Love, Liz

Hi Vilik,

It is my understanding that if you have adequate levels of calcium (and

magnesium and trace minerals) in your body, your ph will be perfect. And if

your ph is not perfect then you can automatically assume you do not have enough

calcium. And so calcium should be the first line of attack when seeking to be

more alkaline. And to attempt to alkalinize your body some other way. . . well,

you might get the job done and still be low in calcium and it just doesn't make

sense to me.

It's like standing in the shade on a sunny day and saying I would like more heat

and light, and instead of stepping out of the shade into the sun, you go and get

a heat lamp and plug it in and get warmed up. Yes it works, but it isn't the

first best way to go.

Seems to me.

alkalizing

Dear friends,

A friend of mine is just getting into the alkalizing idea --

excerpts of her email to me below...

~~~~~~~~~~from a friend to me~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am learning about alkaline balance in the body. Seems this balance

IS IT -- keep this balance and disease, aging, weight, fatigue all melt

away...

Emotions and thoughts have the most dramatic power on this balance in

the body -- food does too, UNLESS the person is SO positive and " letting

it in " that they stay in balance.

So searching for research on this alkaline thing, found a great 2 tape

set by Tony Robbins talking to a Dr. Young who has a book called

" Sick and Tired. " This Super Greens drink Tony is NUTS for and can

bring the body into super alkaline state, hence major energy and weight

loss. And it is all about electrical charge- this Dr. Young is all about

seeing the body as electirical energy and this drink is super

charged.

http://www.supergreens.com/index.htm

~~~~~~~~~~~~me again~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know we've talked about this before but I personally am feeling

the need to alkalize at the moment and am wondering how you all

are doing it, if you're doing it.

Also in line with the recent discussion of astral healing I

wonder how you would relate this topic to that. Can we " alkalize "

our astral bodies? Is this where emotions and thoughts come in?

Also I have read that deep breathing is alkalizing.

Donna, would love to hear about coral calcium and alkalizing.

From the " funny you should ask " department........

I was contemplating posting to the list, but was going to give it some

more time. And speaking of " Dr. Young " , this is Young of the Young

Living Oils I'm talking about here. Knowing that I've got to get more

alkaline has led me to try many different things, most of which just

have had very negative effects. So here I am with a bottle of

" Alka-Lime " in the house and was putting off using it for the longest

time, till 2 days ago. so far, I've got more energy than I've had in a

long time---and a mind state that is coasting in more optimism than I've

been able to achieve for quite awhile.

What triggered my getting this bottle out was a short article I ran

across the other day, about bicarbonates in the body and their role in

digestion, alkalinization, among other things. Alka-Lime is a mixture of

bicarbonates---sodium, calcium, magnesium, and potassium in that

descending order. In addition it has lemon oil and 'other citrus oil' in

the formula.

I've seen rave reviews of this formula from other YL users, but that

didn't really entice me until I saw the 'science' behind it.

I'm not really sure yet, though, if this is the end of my seeking

because my " noisy " joints have gotten noisier, almost over night it

seems, and I've had a recurrence of my old leg pain today. That,

however, could be attributable to this insane heat wave we're in the

middle of.

Of course, with my usual gusto I took the max dosage several times

yesterday. You'd think I'd have learned by now that the body likes to

make change slowly! So, I'm saving today's one small dose for bedtime.

I don't know where I read that article, darn it, but it did say

something about the bicarbonates eventually evening out(my terms, here)

the whole pH balance of the body. that's something that has driven me

bonkers for the longest time as I suspect that I've got an alkaline

venous blood, but am in metabolic acidosis.

Apparently that is not a contradiction at all, but I haven't been able

to figure out what to do about it and I've followed certain regimens

that are supposed to correct this. I've also studied everything I can

get my hands on, and am still confused.

Can anyone address the " creaky joints " ?

I don't know about alkalizing the astral body, I think that's a little

too far off the 'beaten track', but certainly everything that effects

the physical first starts in what I usually call the 'etheric'. I think

this origination is of emotional/spiritual nature and if one can

understand (or not!) and heal these thoughts/ beliefs/attitudes, then

ones's pH and everything else will just end up in a balanced state.

Love and good health,

Sharon, the forever student

Vit. D is good for very acid individuals. It will alkalinize. It causes

calcium to go into the bones. Get some sun or take extra vit. D. We use

D-Natural 5, which contains 5000 units a perle plus 10,000 vit. A. Experts are

now saying that people need from 2000 - 4000 units a day anyway. BUT it is a

GREAT time of the year to get that extra sun you've been needing. A day's worth

of full body sun gives you about 10,000 units of D.

How do you measure for ORP.?

[Guest guest]

You can buy an ORP meter. I have one that measures ORP, pH and

temperature. I use it many times each day and it provides a guide for

how I should look after myself. If I am getting down, it is usually

time to do a fast with alkaline water and add colloidal minerals

(including zeoilite).

I am in Australia. I bought my i ORP meter from an Australian

importer. I am sure that there are plenty in the USA. Just do a

search.

Here is a bit more information that I recently circulated to my

database:

This is a bit like a newsletter. It is just a reference about ORP

and health that I found interesting.

ORP = Oxygen Reduction Potential (a measure of antioxidant status) –

the greater the negative (millivolts) the greater the antioxidant

status of the liquid. Organic food has –ve ORP's. Supermarket food

has +ve ORP's. My urine now measures as good as –ve 120 mV, a big

improvement on –ve 20 mV only 3 weeks ago. I am quite sure I would

have had +ve ORP readings 12 months ago. I am now aiming to get to

better than –ve 200 mV. By the way, taking a walk on the beach away

from your computer will improve your ORP. Having an argument

(stress) with your partner will make it worse. Electrical pollution

makes your urine ORP worse. And so does geopathic pollution.

Dix and I have both had our ORP's improve dramatically lately. We

now measure ourselves every day. It seems to be a good predictor and

tells us when we need to increase our antioxidants, drink more good

water, chelate more heavy metals, and eat more raw alkaline

vegetables. My urine and saliva pH have both climbed from about 5.0

to over 7.0 over the last 6 months. An ORP/pH meter in every

household might be a great help to keep families healthy. Just

imagine if the children's ORP goes into +ve before they get sick. It

is then time to boost their antioxidants, cut their junk food and

get out in the fresh air and sun for some exercise.

I understand that cancer patients mostly have urine with +ve ORP's.

And so do other people with major illnesses. So take a precaution

and keep a good negative ORP.

An ORP meter is also a great way of testing the latest fad health

drink. A tsp of Vitamin C (calcium ascorbate) will instantaneously

change the ORP of tap water from +ve 200 mV to –ve 200 mV. We all

know that Vit C is a good antioxidant. Our antioxidant water also

measures –ve 200 mV or greater and when we add the tsp of Vit C, the

ORP skyrockets to –ve 690 mV.

This is a good discussion on ORP of urine/health found on

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/pH_2.html

READER QUESTION

8/4/2006: Hasan from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia writes, " I read your

article on urine's ORP & conductivity. ORP of my urine is always

negative, it remains between minus 30 to minus 120 mV. How you can

predict my health on this? "

Ted replies, " Dear Hasan: Simply ORP measures your antioxidant

status, whether your are in oxidation status (lacking in surplus

electrons) if your ORP is near zero or positive (which is dangeous),

or in the safe zone near -100 ORP. If your urine is near zero or

dangerously positive, it tells you that you need to take your

antioxidants, such as vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, etc. I have

found the best ways to get ORP in a negative where you have surplus

electrons (antioxidant status prevents heart disease, aging,

bacteria, pathogens, chemical toxins, cancer, etc), is to take

vitamin C + baking soda + magnesium citrate. These three are

critical to maintaing good negative ORP.

The urine will immediately go negative. One useful, ORP is that it

may be predictive of a potential health problems whenver it reaches

positive value and by avoiding this you can avert a major sickness

also.

I have seen one person who told me his ORP is always positive and he

sees no used in such a device. He felt great. A month or so later, I

heard news that he died from a heart attack.

It must be remembered that when measuring ORP that the figures must

stabilized and usually, I wait usually 30 minutes to take the

readings as being the standard. A more accurate figure would be one

hour, but 30 minutes usually the best median figure. If you take the

readings of only 5 minutes, or 15, ORP figures could fluctuate and

numbers are not stable. Just make sure to take readings after 30

minutes and make sure the probe are adequately cleaned and stored in

a KCl solution to protect against oxidation. Otherwise, the figures

will not be accurate. Ted "

8/6/2006: Ted adds more: " Hasan: One more thing, this is not

official numbers, but I have my own gauge that I personally measure.

Here how it goes, just remember this is based on my experience and

the values are subjected to change (antioxidant level):

ORP levels and health (non-standard and arbitrary levels and also

subjected to change)

Positive figures Dangerous!

0 to -49 Fairly Unhealthy

-50 to -99 Not so healthy

-100 to -124 Average

-125 to -149 Good

-150 to -175 Healthy

-175 up Excellent

This is a fairly, arbitrary system. Anytime it goes below -100, I

always start up on taking the antioxidants, baking soda, magnesium,

vitamin C, and other things. Alpha lipoic acid will also quickly get

the numbers up to par within a matter of hours too. My ORP is

currently -175, as of today (15 minutes of reading only, don't have

enough time to wait 30 minutes). And just to think, I haven't taken

care of myself for several days now. Therefore the figures you see

here for the grading scales are somewhat on the optimistic side. Ted

P.S. In case you are wondering what my ORP is, mine usually averages

over -200. Today's reading August 6, 2006 (almost 30 minute -

actually it is 20 minutes) is -210. If 30 minutes figures usually go

lower, so I guess it is closer to -220 or -230. Gives a fairly good

prediction of how resistant to disease you are by measuring this

antioxidant level. Ted "

The Acid/Alkaline Balance:

The most important factor in health!

Have you ever heard that the acid/alkaline balance of the fluids in your

body is the most important factor in health? It is. The Textbook of Medical

Physiology by Arthur C. Guyton, M.D., probably the most recognized authority

on human physiology states: " ...the regulation of hydrogen ion concentration

(pH or acid/alkaline balance) is one of the most important aspects of

homeostasis. " (Robbins, p. 13).

In this article, I would like to focus on the medium (fluid) that bathes

each cell in your body since it is responsible for maintaining your health

and defenses against illness.

Your body is filled with fluids both inside and outside the cells in the

muscles, the brain, bones, the bloodstream, the spine, saliva, in urine,

etc. Seventy Five percent of your body is water or we carry up to 10 gallons

of fluid in our bodies.

All fluids have a certain level of acidity or alkalinity. This level is

measured by the pH value. The pH scale runs from zero to 14. A pH of 7 is

considered neutral, while a pH higher than 7 is considered alkaline and a pH

lower than 7 is considered acidic. The body wants to maintain a pH of 7.4 in

the blood. Most other fluids in your body, except for the fluid in the

stomach, is also slightly on the alkaline side.

Why is this important to know? It is important to know because the cells of

the body in health are alkaline. In disease the cell pH is below 7.0. The

more acidic the cells become, the sicker we are and the worse we feel. How

does the pH develop and how can you help the fluids in your body maintain

their alkalinity in order to stay healthy?

Here's how pH develops. Your body takes the food you eat, breaks it down

into tiny pieces, then burns it to produce energy. The ash that is left

makes the body's fluids (blood/urine/saliva) acidic or alkaline. This

acidity or alkalinity level, known as pH, has a tremendous affect on your

health.

The main determining factor for maintaining a pH level on the alkaline or

acidic side in our bodies is the food we eat. Foods are of two types, acid

or alkaline. This refers to the ash value of a food or the type of residue

that remains after the food is digested and processed. If the food leaves an

acid residue, the body must neutralize this acid to keep the blood from

becoming acidic . The acid is neutralized with alkalinity. Ideally there is

adequate alkalinity (minerals) in the diet to do this. However, if there is

not, the body must extract alkalinity (minerals) from its cells to

neutralize the acid. Perpetuating this condition on a regular basis causes

the cells to become acid, and eventually diseased.

Dr. Ted Morter, in his book, " Your Health, Your Choice " , explains how the

foods we eat affect pH levels. For example, high protein foods are generally

metabolized to yield ash residues which cause conditions of acidity.

Chlorine, sulfur and phosphorus are components of acid ash left over after

the body metabolizes meat, fish, poultry and eggs. Most grains are also acid

causing and so are most dairy foods. On the other hand, most fruits and

vegetables are generally metabolized to yield ash residues which result in

alkaline potentials for the body fluids. The majority of mineral elements

found in fruits and vegetables are alkaline in solution including potassium,

calcium, sodium and magnesium (pp.77-78).

Because our bodies are an alkaline entity, in order to maintain health, the

majority of our diet should consist of alkaline ash foods (fruits and

vegetables). The more alkaline foods we consume, the healthier we'll become.

Dr. Ted Morter recommends that we consume a diet that is 70 to 80% alkaline

and 20 to 30% acid.

The typical American diet is usually 20 to 30% alkaline foods and 70 to 80%

acid foods. It is also not unusual for the average American today to go for

days without eating any alkaline foods (fruits and vegetables). Is it any

wonder that degenerative diseases are on the rise?

If you find yourself eating mostly acid foods (grains, dairy, beef, fish and

chicken) and feeling fatigued, you might want to consider adding to your

diet one of the strongest alkaline forming foods on the planet: wild-crafted

blue green algae. Make sure it is the wild kind, as that is the one that is

alkaline (http://tinyurl.com/g1iz)

Dr. Apsley in his book, " The Regeneration Effect " , states that

wild-crafted blue green algae is 23% natural mineral complex. This

percentage is a reference to its entire mineral complex, not the mineral ash

content which is typically listed at 7% (p. 52). Over 40 macro and micro

minerals have been identified in wild-crafted blue green algae. The

assimilation rate of these minerals into your body may approach 100% (p.

52). Karl Abrams, professor of chemistry at Saddleback College in Orange

County, California, calls the abundance of minerals in wild-crafted blue

green algae " A Treasure Trove " .

We hope you can add more organic fruits and vegetables to your daily diet

and we also hope that you will consider adding wild-crafted blue green algae

as your alkaline insurance food. A diet high in alkaline foods may help you

maintain a healthy body and keep you robust enough to blow out the candles

when you celebrate your 100th birthday anniversary.

An important detail on the comment that " most dairy " is acid-

producing: a component, undenatured whey, is uniquely alkalizing,

and it also provides precursors for glutathione, the body's

master antioxidant and detoxifier.

The article specifically mentions fatigue; glutathione created by

undenatured whey is used in the energy cycle in addition to

removing the metabolic impairments that cause fatigue, such as

toxins, most of which are acidic. Glutathione is well-established

to be part of the cure for acidity, toxin load and free radical

damage (oxidative stress).

Hey Steph,

Back in the mid 90s I was very ill and half of my hair had fallen out and

was still coming out.

Almost everything I ate gave me extreme digestive pain. My heart would race

to over 200 BPM and I felt very ill all of the time. I went to 3 MD

Specialist, wore one of those moniters, but they didn't seem to know the

problem.

Someone brought a video on the Hallelujah Acres diet/program to church. I

already had a Champion Juicer so every morning I juiced a qt. of carrot /apple

juice. I drank 8 oz with a

TSP of barley green in it and put the remainder 3 in 8 oz containers and

took to work

in a small Igloo cooler and kept a jar of BG in my locker to add to the

drink. I found

I could eat grapes and other fruits with no pain and I always took a salad

for lunch.

Since I was so sick and had so little energy, I had to keep it simple. We

did eat simple

cooked foods for supper. It took 8 months of this program to see some light

at the end of the tunnel. When my hair, which had been coming out for over

a yr., started growing back in, I knew I was on the road to recovery. There

is just no quick fix when it comes to rebuilding health.

About the baking soda...it may be a good thing now & then but if you

constantly do that,

you are neutralizing your digestive juice. Good digestion is everything.

If we

have it, we wouldn't be so ill.

Didn't you say your husband was disabled? Who cooks for him or is he able

to do that?

Take care,

Edith

juicing and drinking plenty of greens, still NOTHING seems to help. I

am so full of fungus that there is thick slime in my mouth day and

Steph,

Do you understand the healing crisis that comes with changing to this sort

of program? I did almost lose my job over being sick but mostly because

the crisis would last several days. when I got sick, I needed 4 years to

retire.

I limped thru and was able to with my husband pushing me the whole way...

I wanted to quit.

Don't give up when the crisis begins. Keep the bowels open and drink

plenty of water.

good luck,

Edith

I make many trips to town in the afternoons, so I manage to get to

Walmart at least three times a week. In Cheifland, which is where I

go, they have lots of restaraunts and fast food places etc... My

husband will NOT eat anything healthy no matter how hard I try to get

him to do so. He drank the juice I was making for about a week and

then said it just made him so sick he would not take it anymore. He

likes cake and icecream every night before bed, hambergers from

Macs, likes pork and eats a lot of sausages and meats which he

used to cook for himself. Now that he can't cook all that pork sausage

he might live a little longer LOL. He smoked three packs a day of the

camels so he now has COPD and the damage is permanent. I begged him to

stop but he would not until he could no longer breathe well enough to

puff on one. He is doing the same thing with his diet. I do pick

up for him prepared foods from places like the Chinese restaraunt and

the types of meat dinners he likes from other good restaraunts on the

way home. Kentucky fried chicken, pizza places, subway, prepared

salads from Walmart etc... It is the only kind of food I can get him to

eat. Even if I cooked for him a lot (which I used to do before I got

so ill), he would still want the same stuff and I can't see killing

myself for that when i can scaresly do enough to feed myself what I am

supposed to eat. Don't ask me how we ever got together because I

truely have no answer 8:>{{ Steph
