Your pH Determines Your Health
Over 200 Diseases have been linked to a lower (acidic) pH blood level.

Cancer, Diabetes, Arthritis, Heart Disease, Osteoporosis, Eczema, Gallstones, Kidney Stones, Indigestion, Hiatus Hernia, Lupus, Fibromyalgia, Gout, Headaches,
... And Many Many More.

What is pH?

The pH scale ranges from 0 on the acidic side to 14 on the alkaline and a solution is neutral if its pH is 7. At pH 7, water contains equal concentrations of H+ and OH- ions. Substances with a pH less than 7 are acidic because they contain a higher concentration of H+ ions. higher concentration of OH- than H+. The pH scale is a log scale, so a change of one pH unit implies a tenfold shift in the concentration of hydrogen ions.

The body is largely made up of water, a medium which is biologically useful in allowing nutrients, oxygen and bio-chemicals to be transported from place to place. This water based medium can have either acid or alkaline properties which are measured by a graduated scale called pH (for "potential of hydrogen"). 1.0 to 6.9 is considered acidic, 7.0 is neutral, and 7.1 to 14 is alkaline. The lower the pH, the greater the acidity, while higher pH levels are alkaline.
The Importance of Balancing pH

Living things are extremely sensitive to pH and function best (with certain exceptions, such as different portions of the digestive tract) when solutions are nearly neutral. Most interior living matter (excluding the cell nucleus) has a pH of about 6.8.

Blood plasma and other fluids that surround the cells in the body have a pH of 7.2 to 7.45. A blood pH of 6.9 could induce coma and possibly death to the body. So the body possesses numerous special mechanisms to aid in stabilizing these fluids so that cells will not be subject to appreciable fluctuations in pH. Substances which serve as mechanisms to stabilize pH are called buffers. Buffers have the capacity to bond ions and remove them from solution whenever their concentration begins to rise. Conversely, buffers can release ions whenever their concentration begins to fall, thus helping to minimize the fluctuations in pH. This is an important function because many biochemical reactions normally occurring in living organisms either release or use up ions.

ALL DISEASES THRIVE
IN AN ACIDIC BODY ENVIRONMENT

Scientists have found that healthy people have systems that are alkaline.   Oxygen can not be absorbed by our cells in a highly acidic environment.

Almost everything we do - our stressful life styles and our diets - pushes us into the acidic range:   Even exercise creates (lactic) acid.

Body fluids range between 4.5 and 7.5 pH (blood must maintain 7.35 to 7.45 pH in order for you to survive).

Soft drinks such as cola have a pH of about 2.5.

It takes 32 glasses of Alkaline water to neutralize the acid from one 12 oz. cola ! ! !
      WATER OR COKE?

       This is really an eye opener.... Water or Coke? We
       all know that water is important but I've never seen
       it written down like this before.
       WATER

       1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

       2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so
       weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

       3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's
      metabolism as much as 3%.

       4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger
       pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a
       University of Washington study.

       5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

       6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses
       of water a day could significantly ease back and
       joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

       7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy
       short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and
       difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a
       printed page.

       8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the
       risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the
       risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less
       likely to develop bladder cancer.

       And now for the properties of COKE:

       1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol
       carries two gallons of coke in the truck to remove
       blood from the highway after a car accident.

       2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and
       it will be gone in two days.

       3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into
       the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one
       hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke
       removes stains from vitreous China.

       4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub
       the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap
       aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

       5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals:
       Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble
       away the corrosion.

       6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked
       in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

       7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into
       the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and
       bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished,
       remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix
       with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.

       8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke
       into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run
       through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help
       loosen grease stains.

       9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

       For Your Info:

       1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid.
       Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4days.
       Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones
       and is a major contributor to the rising increase in
       osteoporosis.

       2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the
       commercial truck must use the Hazardous material
       place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

       3. The distributors of coke have been using it to
       clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
      Now the question is, would you like a coke or a glass
       of water?
