Subject: ACID & ALKALINE BY HERMAN AIHARA (a must for cancer patients)
This is a must reading for cancer patients on the importance of eating a balanced acid and alkaline diet. Herman Aihara is a Japanese scientist, and he is one of the founders of macrobiotics. Here is a short sectron from his book:
"According to modern physiology, this is true for all humans, as I mentioned previously. Our body cells are surrounded by fluids which should be slightly alkaline in order to sustain life. If you go jogging or do heavy exercise, you experience shortness of breath, tiredness, and muscle stiffness. This is the result of the production and accumulation of lactic acid, which is in turn the result of the incomplete combustion of glucose. In other words, under conditions of heavy exercise the body is not getting enough oxygen to metabolize glucose. At such times, the pH of the blood will be around j7.26 - 7.27 instead of the normal 7.3 to 7.4. This is an acidic condition of the blood. This kind of acidity is corrected by the body's buffering system, which changes strong acids to weak acids and eliminates them as carbon dioxide (CO2) which we exhale as part of our breath. If the condition of our extracellulqar fluids, especially the blood, becomes acidic, our physical condition will first manifest tiredness, proneness to catching colds, etc. When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then manifests pain and suffering such as a headache, chest pain, stomachache, etc. According to Keiichi Morishita in his Hidden Truth of Cancer, if the blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body such so that the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition. As this tendency continues, such areas increase in acidity and some cells die; then these dead cells themselves turn into acids. However, some other cells may adapt in that environment. In other words, instead of dying- as normal cells do in an acid environment- some cells survive by becoming abnormal cells. These abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function nor with our own DNA memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer."

From this wonderful and eye opening book, and with the use of darfield microscopy for before and after results, this diet was put together to reverse cancers. Moreover, the diet seems to work for everything under the sun in illness.
Good health,
Steve
