FACT:
THE pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects
EVERY CELL IN OUR BODIES.
Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm your body. Proper
pH Balance is the foundation for optimal health.
YOUR BODY IS ALKALINE BY DESIGN BUT ACIDIC BY FUNCTION
It is always seeking to maintain proper balance. Just as the body regulates its temperature in a rigid
manner, so will it manage to preserve a very narrow pH range - especially in the blood. As a matter of
fact, the body will go to such great lengths to maintain a blood pH of 7.365 that it will even create stress
on other tissues or body systems to do so. CHRONIC OVER ACIDITY WILL INTERRUPT ALL CELLULAR
ACTIVITIES AND FUNCTIONS - IT INTERFERES WITH LIFE ITSELF.
When the pH of the body gets OUT OF BALANCE (TOO ACIDIC), we may experience LOW ENERGY,
FATIGUE, EXCESS WEIGHT, POOR DIGESTION, ACHES AND PAINS, AND EVEN MORE SERIOUS
DISORDERS.
The body becomes imbalanced and overly acidic primarily as a result of three things:
1) INGESTING ACIDS.... eating too many acidifying foods - like processed sugar, meat, dairy, coffee,
alcohol, etc. - create an ACID ASH in the body. The overload of these acids can overwhelm the body's
ability to neutralize them.
2) CREATION OF ACIDS... microforms such as anaerobic bacteria, yeasts, and fungi proliferate as the
body becomes more and more acidic. PATHOGENS AND MICROFORMS CREATE ACIDIFYING TOXINS IN
THE BODY. As the body becomes more and more acidic, bad bacteria, YEASTS and other microforms
proliferate in the body. These living organisms steal your nutrients by feeding on them and create a host
of toxins as a result. THESE TOXINS ARE VERY ACIDIFYING AND POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS.
3) IMPROPER ELIMINATION OF ACIDS... not all acids are the same; some are weak and some are strong.
Weak acids like Citric Acid are much easier to neutralize than strong acids like uric acid. The body uses
many systems in order to buffer acids including breath, mineral reserves and fat. WHEN A BODY'S
BUFFERING SYSTEMS BECOME DEPLETED OR COMPROMISED, EXCESS ACIDS BUILD UP.
pH is a measure of ACIDITY & ALKALINITY.
The pH scale goes from 0 to 14.
At a pH of 7, the half way point, there is a balance between acidity and alkalinity.
The "p" comes from the word power or potential. The "H" is the symbol for the element of Hydrogen.
Together, the term pH means "Potential of Hydrogen." The greater potential a substance has for freeing
the hydrogen ions, the smaller its pH value is.
The pH scale is logarithmic, meaning that the values separating each unit are not of equal value along the
scale but increase in proportion to their distance from the midway point of an even balance between
acidity and alkalinity.
As you can see as you begin the downward cycle of acidification, each point you drop actually calculates
to a 10 fold decrease in pH. For example, urinary pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than 7. On the other hand,
urinary pH of 5 is quite a different story. While it may appear that 5 is only
"1 point less " than a reading of 6, in actuality it is 100 times more acidic than 7.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE MORE ACIDIC YOU HAVE BECOME, THE GREATER THE
EFFORT YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE IN ORDER TO GET BACK INTO BALANCE.
If you have led an acidifying lifestyle for a long time, the road to restoration certainly will NOT happen
overnight - however .....
YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.....
IS YOUR pH BALANCED????? FIND OUT BY TESTING!!!
In order to maintain proper health, the body is CONSTANTLY SEEKING TO GET RID OF THE EXCESS ACIDS
THAT IRRITATE THE TISSUES AND DEPLETE THEM OF MINERALS. One of the principal systems it uses
for this purpose is the RENAL SYSTEM (KIDNEYS). The normal rate of acid excretion through the kidneys
gives urine a pH that falls between 6.5 & 7.25 By testing the degree of acidity of the urine, you can
determine whether your body is eliminating a normal quantity of acids. IF the acid excretion rate is higher
than normal, the Urinary pH will be more acidic. THIS LOW URINARY pH IS ALSO AN INDICATION THAT
THE BODY IS SATURATED WITH TOO MUCH ACID.
Another indicator of the overall pH balance in your body is the pH of your saliva. When your body has the
mineral reserves that it should, the abundance of minerals will show up in a saliva pH test as a pH reading
of 7.0 to 7.50.
A LOW SALIVA pH READING INDICATES THAT THE MINERAL RESERVES IN YOUR BODY ARE LOW AND
ARE BEING USED TO BUFFER ACIDS ELSEWHERE IN THE BODY.
There is a strong correlation between the pH of the body's internal environment and that of the urine and
saliva:
URINE AND SALIVA BECOME ACIDIC WHEN THE BODY'S INTERNAL ENVIRONMENT BECOMES ACIDIC.
The pH testing strips that are available through this site are
FORMULATED SPECIFICALLY TO TEST SALIVA AND URINE
AND ARE THE MOST ACCURATE and economical test strips
on the market.
ALKALIVETM Ph STIXTM are unlike most pH test strips available.
Due to the narrow range in pH of these bodily fluids
(generally 5.8 to 7.6), it is imperative that a pH test strip give
a clear indication in small pH unit increments - these strips
give an indication in .25 increments and test a range of
4.5 to 9.0 ... also the double color indicator method allows
for a more accurate determination of the pH value of what
you are testing.
HOW DOES A PERSON ATTAIN / REGAIN pH BALANCE
WITHIN THEIR BODIES???
THE FOLLOWING ARE STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN AND ALSO
WHAT WE, AS A FAMILY HAVE USED TO ATTAIN OUR
BALANCED pH......
1) pH BALANCE BEGINS WITH SUPER HYDRATION....
Proper hydration is the most crucial factor in ESTABLISHING
AND MAINTAINING proper pH. Since your body is 70% water,
it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to constantly replenish your
supply of it. The body loses 2.5 liters of water every day just
through normal bodily functions. The QUALITY of the water that
you drink is just as important as the QUANTITY of water that you drink.
The water you put in your body must be able to prevent toxins and chemical substances from
accumulating, thus preventing destructive influences on cells. Water must also TRANSPORT MINERALS
AND NUTRIENTS REQUIRED FOR CELL METABOLISM AND REMOVE ANY SUBSTANCE THAT CAN
DAMAGE THE CELL. Ideally, you should be drinking 3 - 4 liters of water daily. THE WATER SHOULD BE
NON-CHLORINATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CHLORINE IS NOT HEALTHY FOR THE BODY CELLS.
For 4 years we tried different products and we have found that for balancing pH of the body there is
NOTHING MORE EFFICIENT than GSH IMMUNITY.
2) pH BALANCING IS ALSO ATTAINED BY CLEANSING AND
DETOXIFICATION of liver & Kidney 2 of the waste organs in our
bodies...
As your body becomes more and more acidic, the internal environment becomes inviting for microforms
and harmful bacteria to grow and proliferate. These mircoforms excrete toxins in your system thereby
causing your body to become even more acidic which allows for more microforms to grow on a continual
basis. CLEANSING THE BODY OF THESE MICROFORMS AND THEIR CORRESPONDING TOXIC WASTE IS
VITAL TO REGAINING A HEALTHY BALANCE WITHIN YOUR SYSTEM.
My husband is a diabetic type 2. He has kidney spill of protein which means that his tiny blood vessels in
his kidneys were having trouble maintaining normal function. Using GSH IMMUNITY has kept his kidney
function extremely efficient In fact his spill is now under control / in fact it is improving. He does take the
minimum traditional medication but his MD told him that once a protein spill occurs in a kidney it always
progresses. That is why Diabetes is so dangerous, it does effect the kidney function which effects pH
balance as well as B/P etc etc. The fact he is under control and in fact decreasing the spill says
something about what he is doing to help prevent further damage. GSH IMMUNITY IS EFFICIENT IN
KIDNEY FUNCTION in our experience.
3) pH BALANCE CONTINUES WITH DETOXIFICATION - ELIMINATE THE MICROFORMS AND TOXINS THAT
CREATE ACIDS.... MICROFORMS SUCH AS YEASTS, FUNGUS AND MOLD THRIVE IN ACIDITY.
These damaging organisms love to swim in their own toxic waste and FLOURISH IN LOW OXYGEN
LEVELS THAT COME WITH ACIDITY. When your body becomes chronically acidic, microforms proliferate
and further acidify your body - creating a never ending cycle.
IN AN ACIDIC ENVIRONMENT, THESE UGLY ORGANISMS GROW OUT OF CONTROL, BREAKING DOWN
TISSUES, BODILY PROCESSES AND YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM. The end result of this overgrowth is a body
that is weak, tired, and prone to potentially serious health concerns.
Since mircoforms are living organisms, they require food in order to survive. After they digest glucose,
proteins, and fats in your body, they excrete poisonous Mycotoxins and Exotoxins; they also host
dangerous Endotoxins.
TOXINS LIKE THESE ARE SEVERELY DAMAGING TO HEALTHY CELLULAR
FUNCTION AND REPRODUCTION.
These toxins are also strong acids that MUST be eliminated. In order to jump-start the process of
balancing your pH, it's imperative that you "clean house" and eradicate the microforms and their
corresponding toxins.
We have clients that have a very low pH - thus having an acidic body and as well have a Systemic
Candida infestation. We have them balance their pH level with GHS IMMUNITY, however, not only does
the
GHS IMMUNITY balance the acidic body but it also aids the Digestive System to keep all 9 strains
of Candida within the intestines instead of being able to leak out to cause a systemic candida
infestation.
4) pH BALANCING CONTINUES WITH SUPPLYING MINERALS FOR BUFFERING....
The biggest problem for people suffering from acidification is the THE FACT THAT THE CONCENTRATED
MASS OF ACIDS HAVE ACCUMULATED DEEP IN THE INNER TISSUES. The quantities of acids that have
built up become too great to be carried by the blood to the skin and kidneys for elimination,
sooooooooooo.. THE BODY IS THEN FORCED TO USE A SECOND OPTION TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY
OF THE BLOOD pH.
THIS CONSISTS OF DIRECTING THE ACIDS NOT TO THE ORGANS OF ELIMINATION TO BE DISCHARGED,
BUT INTO THE TISSUES WHICH CAN WITHSTAND FLUCTUATIONS OF pH LEVELS BETTER THAN THE
BLOOD
CAN. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND... THIS MEANS THE BODY IS PLACING CLUMPS OF ACID
INTO THE PANCREAS, DIGESTIVE ORGANS,LUNGS..... ANYWHERE IT CAN DEPOSIT IT.
THESE CLUMPS OF ACID SAY.... "WELCOME" TO DISEASE
When the pH of the body is very low it requires the neutralization and elimination of a very large quantity
of acids. When available, the body will use mineral reserves in order to neutralize their acids. When
alkaline minerals bind with acids, a neutral salt is made, which can then enter the bloodstream for
elimination with out affecting the pH of the blood. Taking these alkaline minerals on a regular basis
supports the body's efforts and greatly accelerates the process of de acidification and restoration to pH
balance.
ALSO... MINERAL ASSIMILATION IS AFFECTED BY pH.
Minerals have DIFFERENT pH LEVELS AT WHICH THEY CAN BE ASSIMILATED INTO THE BODY.
MINERALS ON THE LOWER END OF THE ATOMIC SCALE CAN BE ASSIMILATED IN A WIDER pH RANGE,
AND MINERALS HIGHER UP ON THE SCALE REQUIRE A NARROWER AND NARROWER pH RANGE IN
ORDER TO BE ASSIMILATED BY THE BODY. For example...
Sodium and magnesium have wide pH assimilation ranges.
It narrows somewhat for calcium and potassium.
Narrows more for manganese and iron.
More for zinc and copper.
More for iodine.
Iodine, which is high up on the atomic scale, requires near perfect pH for its assimilation into the body.
Iodine you may know, is one of the most important minerals for proper functioning of the THYROID. But,
the thyroid doesn't get access to iodine unless the body pH is near perfect.
With a society in a largely pH unbalanced state, one would suspect a lot of thyroid problems.
Malfunctioning thyroids have been connected to arthritis, heart attacks, diabetes, cancer, depression,
overweight, fatigue and more. Are you starting to see the basic metabolic picture evolving here?
Minerals play an important role in our overall health. Essential and trace minerals can support our health,
while certain heavy metals can destroy our health.
5) pH BALANCING CONTINUES WITH ENZYME SUPPLEMENTATION...
Enzymes are protein molecules which initiate and control nearly every biochemical process in the body.
The presence of CERTAIN ENZYMES MAKES IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO DIGEST FOOD, REPAIR TISSUE,
and RID OUR BODY OF DANGEROUS TOXINS. Every enzymatically controlled reaction is crucial to overall
health.
A few of the duties that enzymes perform include:
- breaking down food particles, enabling them to pass through the intestinal wall and enter the blood
stream.
- transforming tiny food nutrient particles into tissue found in muscles, nerves, organs, glands, etc....
- contributing to the process that stores sugar in the liver and muscle tissue.
- enabling mineral molecules to link up with blood cells.
- helping to detoxify our blood and tissues by enabling our immune system to attack foreign material.
- directing metabolism on a cellular level and converting food to energy, which fuels virtually every
biologic
mechanism of the body ENZYMES ARE INDEED THE SPARK PLUG OF LIFE, yet it is important to
understand
that the average diet is enzyme-deficient.
Enzymes are destroyed as a result of cooking food at a high temp, or by micro waving. The refined and
processed foods we eat are also void of necessary enzymes. Raw, uncooked foods are laden with
enzymes. They are present to help digest the very food they are found in.
WHEN ENZYME RESERVES BECOME DEPLETED, WE PLACE A LARGE AMOUNT OF UNNECESSARY
STRESS ON BODY ORGANS SUCH AS THE PANCREAS, LIVER, LYMPH SYSTEM.
Enzyme deficiency contributes greatly to acidification of the body. Without sufficient enzymes, foods and
proteins go undigested and eventually ferment in the body; this causes toxicity and acid overload.
Research studies strongly suggest that significant numbers of people with liver disease, high blood
pressure, arteriosclerosis, tuberculosis and even obesity have low tissue enzyme levels.
Even if your enzymes are not deficient they require specific pH environments in order to function.
WHEN THE pH ENVIRONMENT IS TOO ACIDIC, VITAL ENZYMES LOSE THEIR STRUCTURE AND
FUNCTION, and ELECTRONS CANNOT CIRCULATE. This renders them useless and unavailable for the
chemical reactions required for nutrient digestion and absorption. WITHOUT THE PROPER pH,
ENZYMATIC REACTIONS FAIL AND THE METABOLISM OF CELLS SLOWS SIGNIFICANTLY.
We would suggest that if a client has a particularly low pH level that once it is corrected they might want
to take an extra step in helping the body regain normalcy, helping the liver and lymph systems detox and
regain normal function. We have tried these formulas with huge success and would recommend them to
anyone. We have many clients on these formulas, they are not formulas that you would require for an
extended period of time depending on your health statis.
GSH IMMUNITY IS SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN TO BE AN EXTREMELY EFFICIENT NATURAL DETOXIFIER
AVAILABLE FOR THE LIVER / BRAIN / LUNGS AND ALSO FOR ALL THE OTHER ORGANS.
6) pH BALANCE CONTINUES WITH PROPER ACID DRAINAGE...
One of the primary causes of pH imbalance and acidification is the insufficient elimination of acids. There
are two types of acids; strong acids and weak acids:
- WEAK ACIDS like Citric Acid, Pyruvic Acid, Oxalic Acid, Acetic Acid, and Tartaric Acid are found in fruits
and vegetables. These types of acids are relatively unproblematic and are rather easy to neutralize and
eliminate.
- STRONG ACIDS in our bodies - like Uric Acid, Sulfuric Acid, Phosphoric Acid and Nitric Acid - primarily
come from animal protein. THESE ACIDS ARE LIKE THE BATTERY ACID IN YOUR CAR. These types of
acids are very PROBLEMATIC, DIRECTLY CONTRIBUTING TO ILLNESSES LIKE GOUT, KIDNEY STONES
AND EVEN HEART DISEASE. THESE ACIDS COMPROMISE THE pH BALANCE OF THE TISSUES AND
FLUIDS OF THE BODY. Strong acids must be excreted by the kidneys or the skin because they contain
sulfur, phosphorus or nitrogen which cannot break down into water and carbon dioxide to be eliminated in
the same way that weak acids are.
Organs responsible for the elimination of acids are the KIDNEYS, SKIN and the LUNGS. The SKIN AND
KIDNEYS ARE ABLE TO ELIMINATE STRONG ACIDS. The LUNGS on the other hand
ELIMINATE WEAK OR VOLATILE ACIDS.
When a weak acid combines with water, it is converted into Carbonic Acid which then breaks
apart into Carbon Dioxide and water. You breathe out the Carbon Dioxide and pass the water out through
your Kidneys. The quantity of acids that the Kidneys and Skin eliminate each day may not match the
quantity of acids consumed or produced by the body on that day. It is important to stimulate the Kidneys
and Skin to increase the amounts of acids they filter and void.
KIDNEYS / SKIN / LUNGS WHICH ARE EXTREME DETOXING PARTS OF OUR BODY NEED HELP IN BEING
ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR JOB. GSH IMMUNITY IS AN EXTREME AID IN PROVIDING THE BUILDING
BLOCK, CYSTEINE TO THE BODY AS WELL AS MINERALS AND pH BALANCERS TO AID BALANCING THE
BODY AND THUS REGAIN HEALTH.
Extra help for Skin ---
If you take as hot as a bath as you can 2 - 3 times a wk in 1/4 - 1/2 cup of Epsom Salts this will open up the
pores and draws out toxins that have been placed in the pores, this is a BIG help.
