To begin with, we have an insidious silent killer called acidosis that has been stealing the breath of life from you and our planet. The average person is completely uninformed of the acid/alkaline theory on which all life is based. There is only one person to take responsibility for your health and that is YOU!

Let's take a look at how the acid/alkaline balance affects our overall health. Your stomach is an acidic organ. Your large intestine is slightly on the acid side, whereas your organ tissues and body fluids should be slightly alkaline - 7.2 to 7.4 pH for good health. Modern living has thrown off this internal balance. Why?

Fifty to sixty years ago nature provided all the raw materials to keep your body in proper balance such as a proper acid/alkaline balance. It was in the soil and in our food.

Why does nature no longer provide
the proper pH balance as it once did?

To begin with, the planet itself is in an acidic state because the soil has been stripped of its alkaline minerals and has been denatured with chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides. These, together with toxic wastes, cause the soil to have an acid pH.

Our lakes and rivers have also been chemically poisoned to the point of killing the fish and wildlife that also call this planet home. If we are killing them off, then it follows we are killing ourselves off at the same time.

What about the air we breathe?

We all know it is polluted with toxic acid chemicals. We breathe in air full of acid chemical particulates which mix with the moisture in our lungs causing our tissues to become acidic.

Our planet is a living, breathing organism. What we give to her she will give back to us. We poison ourselves by poisoning our planet. This downhill slide picked up speed just after World War II with the evolution of factory farming using factory fertilizers. It gives us faster, bigger crops with more chemicals and less nutrition and, at the same time, exhausts the soil of its minerals and friendly micro-organisms.

How does this affect our food?

Think for a moment of the fruit and vegetables you eat. They look like good fruits and vegetables but they don't taste. With the minerals absent from the food it tastes like cardboard. Celery sticks taste like chemical sticks - no minerals but lots of chemicals. Minerals give food flavor. This is why processed foods need all the additives - to give them a flavor, false as it may be.

Consider a corn field that has all the proper minerals and friendly micro-organisms in the soil. Bugs will not attack or eat the corn because it has a proper pH - in other words, it is not acidic. When the terrain is in proper balance, the corn is healthy and bug-free because it contains its own anti-bug properties. Why would humans be any different?

Today, food is grown for profit - not for the well being of those who eat it. You haven't been getting your money's worth for many years. We fill our shopping carts and our stomachs, but because of the lack of minerals, enzymes, and micro-organisms in food today, we are starving to death. We are at war within our own bodies - bad bacteria, fungus, parasites, and viruses that feed off disease and the imbalance we now know as "acidosis".

So where's the beef? Lets look for a moment at the cattle industry. After World War II, chemical fertilizers came fast and furious creating a short-cut for farmers that would lead to de-mineralizing the soil and de-naturing the food, causing the animals to become sick and even sterile. Does this sound like someone you know and love? Again the chemical and drug cartels rushed to the aid of farmers by adding hormones and antibiotics to the livestock's food and water. It is this situation that created the problem with chemicals - and the rush to solve the problem with more chemicals. It appears as though there is only one winner here - and it isn't the general public who are eating the chemicals.

What do you think the effect is on the cattle, and the people who eat them because of all the antibiotics and hormones over the last 50 years? Sickness, sterility, chronic illness, and disease. If we do not restore balance to nature then we will suffer by our own doing. All pain and disease in the body (except for trauma) is caused by metabolic acidosis.

You must alkaline your system to re-fuel your enzymes, hormones, and immune system. We can not reclaim our planet until we work together globally. We must focus on reclaiming our inner terrain if we hope to be happy and healthy while living on a toxic planet that is not about to change quickly. All of our food, water, and air has become acidic. It no longer has the ability to alkalize.

Our trees are dying from acid rain, and our food is chemically treated and grown in acidic soil watered by acid rain. We know the health conditions of the animals we eat. We talk of the number of animals on the endangered list on their way to becoming extinct, but never consider that we are also on the same list. Talk about universal justice. We have denatured and poisoned our existence. We must now learn how to eliminate the acid from our body and get the proper nutrition which cannot be found at your corner grocery store.
