Ive been hashing over some books I love . I knew the info on this site rang true and now its all coming back to me. Lets see If Im doing my homework correctly. Ill attempt to put the essence of this alkaline /acid connection in two nutshells….



The Eastern view :



Chi is the life force in all things including the human body . In the human body Chi requires a strong electrical field to propel it. It is the dynamic tension between the yin and yang that provide that electrical field. There are a number of ways to supply the proper elements required for this dance of yin and yang including breathing, exercise, and more to our specific to our thoughts on this forum, the proper eating and drinking of natural organic foods and water. By eating in balance, the yin and yang dance can provide us with all we need to keep ourselves healthy well into “old age”.



Western view:



Professor Otto Warburg summed up his research on the cause of cancer by saying ( Im paraphrasing here) “When healthy cells are put into a position where it becomes impossible to breathe- cellular respiration-they pass into a state of fermentation and then become true cancer cells”. What holds true for cancer cells holds largely true for all degenerative disease. Cancer is simply the last step of years of degeneration of the body.



“ In nature the electrostatic field exercises an important influence on the ‘respiration-phosphorization’ chain “



“The longevity of civilized man depends to a very high degree on the continual presence of a sufficiently powerful electric field”





Either way you want to look at it, it boils down to the same essence. We need the electrical field generated by the opposites of acid/alkaline for proper health. Cancer operates in an acidic, anerobic environment. So what do we do about it? We balance it out . Two of the most effective holistic cancer treatments are oxygen therapy and Max Gersons’ juicing protocol ( 20 lbs of juiced vegetables a day!). What do they deliver? Aerobic and alkaline environments for a start!



All of life is about balance why should health and nutrition be any different?



So………………



I have lived for years in an acid state. So for myself on a nutritional level, I need to first develop strong alkaline eating habits to reverse the acidity in my tissues. How long this will take I don’t know. I do know I didn’t get here in a hurry and I believe hurrying the process to get back into balance is a mistake. In other words going optimally alkaline as opposed to maximally alkaline. So I will and have, adopt an alkaline diet I can live with, eating natural foods , vegetables and vegetables juices and whole grains. I will supplement with Moreless’ drink which I am inclined to believe is a superior way to restore my lost minerals. A synergistic and organic approach appeals to me greatly. I would much rather eat natural food than take a pill.



Once I regain my natural balance I plan to continue eating in the same general way , emphasizing a slight alkaline balance. Once again balance is the key, if we continually strive to be more alkaline than what nature intended we shall run into trouble on that fork of the road too!
