As I wrote in my book, “Flood Your Body With Oxygen, Therapy for Our Polluted World”, alkalinity and oxygen go hand in hand. Being healthy, alive, and burning food for energy includes the constant process of billions of tiny cells making chemical reactions that generate waste acids in our bodies. The constant process of cleaning the waste acids out as fast as we make them is paramount to good health. Our bodies must maintain the proper balance between being alkaline or acid for us to be alive. This balance is measured on a scale called pH. This scale and measurement spans from a low of 1 - being very acid – through neutral at 7, to a high of 14 which is extremely alkaline. A pH value below 7 is considered acid and above 7 alkaline. Maintaining a slightly alkaline pH condition overall is crucial for having good health. If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals, supplements, and food. Your body pH affects everything. I have been teaching worldwide about this importance of bodily pH being a major factor and measurable reflection of our health for 17 years.

The Current Focus On pH Overlooks the Real Cause

Currently, the modern awareness of the importance of pH is reflected in the existence of many ads talking about it. Machines and supplements are being touted that all claim to alkalinize the body. This awareness and importance of proper pH, and therefore most writings and discussions, focus solely on regulating various types of food or water intake as the way to adjust the overall body pH. They simply ignore the most vital nutrient that the body is constantly using to adjust its own pH, as needed in each vital area. The writers do not make the proper connections in their minds, so they miss the most important factor in creating proper pH.

Body Acidity Breeds Disease

It is widely accepted scientifically that a body with too many accumulated waste toxins and acids inside it is unhealthy. A readily seen - and felt - example of this fact is when we become sore after exercise. This soreness is entirely due to the over-accumulation of lactic acid in our muscles. It’s just waiting to be removed. In a few days, the body marshals its resources and buffers the lactic acid - and the soreness goes away. Cancer also causes an over-accumulation of lactic acid around the cancer site that causes other nearby cells to become aberrated. Many people have removed this cascade of advancing acid-fueled cancers by restoring the normal acid/alkalizing balance.

At the cellular level, a continuous buildup of various waste acids throughout the body creates what is referred to as a chronically acidic body pH. This system-wide, low pH, over-acidic condition allows the proliferation of harmful microbes and aberrant cells that begin to grow uncontrollably. Microbes and cancer flourish in acidic conditions. Maintaining a healthy, slightly alkaline, body condition creates an environment wherein harmful microbes and acid-caused aberrant cells simply can’t exist. Before WWII, doctors were openly aware of this. Thankfully, this information is finally reaching the awareness of the general public again.

Which pH is Correct?

It is imperative that our bodies maintain a narrow range of correct pH in the blood. In fact, there is not just one, but various pH scale acid/alkaline measurements considered normal and healthy:

Normal pH of Various Body Tissues
Skeletal muscle 6.9 - 7.2
Heart 7.0 - 7.4
Liver 7.2
Brain 7.1
Blood 7.35 - 7.45
Saliva 6.0 - 7.4
Urine 4.5 - 8.0

Our bodies will rob nutrients or alter body compounds such as bicarbonate, amino acids, albumin, globulin, & hemoglobin throughout the body to maintain the correct acid/alkaline balances. Unfortunately, most health practitioners only concentrate on these secondary compounds as de-acidifiers and miss the #1 most important de-acidifier. Oxygen therapy is one of the most important approaches one can use in order to achieve optimal health.

The BIG Truth about Eliminating Acids - Oxygen!

No wastes or toxins can leave the body without first being combined with oxygen. This is the BIG truth that most health practitioners overlook. Instead of looking at the BIG picture, they are narrowly focusing in on detail. As a result of many TV ads, people recently went nuts buying up Coral Calcium, the #2 most important acid buffer, but they all missed the #1 way the body gets rid of waste acids - using OXYGEN! The calcium eaters enjoyed great results because the body must fall back on its calcium reserves to survive when there isn’t enough oxygen. What would have happened if they all had plenty of the #1 de-acidifier, OXYGEN, instead? Isn’t it obvious that if the body can get rid of acid wastes by having enough oxygen around to oxidize, buffer, neutralize, and burn the acids up, then won’t the body naturally become more alkaline?

When the body is overwhelmed by acidosis-toxicity, mechanisms are triggered to help neutralize the build up of poisonous acids in order to maintain a healthy, slightly alkaline pH. Alkali solutions (pH over 7.0) tend to absorb oxygen, while acids (pH under 7.0) tend to expel oxygen. For example, a mild alkali can absorb over 100 times as much oxygen as a mild acid. So it’s a two-way street - the more acid in the body, the less ability the body fluids have to absorb oxygen. This is the classic spiral down into disease. The more oxygen in the body, the more ability its fluids have to absorb oxygen. This is the upward spiral of health.

The first thing the body does to fight acidity is take in more oxygen the only way it knows how - through breathing harder so that it can push more CO2 out of the lungs and make room for more oxygen in the blood. We now have great supplements that can make the same things happen.

Everyone complains they need more energy. How many people get winded and pant easily with a minimum of effort expended? That’s a low oxygen and over-acid condition plainly expressing itself when there isn’t enough oxygen, minerals, and sulfur (MSM) available.

In low-oxygen cellular environments, excess carbon dioxide (carbonic acid) and lactic acid collect, so the body oxygen and intra-cellular amino acids are used up trying to buffer these acids. Lymph and saliva try to neutralize and dilute the acids, but they each thicken more as we dehydrate – thereby lowering their efficiency.

Next, your high pH electrolytes (calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium) are used up binding salt acids; and then, your skin, urinary tract; colon and respiratory system become overloaded trying to filter them out. Then blood plasma changes while loading with bicarbonate in an attempt to neutralize the increasing acidity. If the low oxygen and minerals and water conditions persist and no change in oxygen levels, diet, or elimination are forthcoming, then the bones, teeth, joints and muscles will be robbed of their calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium reserves. This causes severe mineral deficiency. And, when all this fails - because the acidic mucoid sludge continues to block everything and pile up - then the body can no longer neutralize the acids. In a final attempt to survive, the body pushes the excess acids and toxins away from the core and out to be stored in the peripheral vital areas of the skin and extremities.

Diseases Related to Emergency Peripheral Toxin Storage
carpel tunnelAcid and toxins in the wrist
Acid osteoarthritisand toxins in the knees
Acid and toxins in the feet and gouttoes
dermatitis and eczemaAcid and toxins in the skin
Acid and Rheumatoid Arthritis toxins in the joints and fingers
Acid and toxins in the fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue,tissues & degenerative disease, etc., etc.

As the last straw, when these areas are filled, the vital organs will start filling up and you get the resulting end - cancer, diabetes, heart disease and serious arthritis. -- Adapted From What in the Cell Is going On? - Gary Tunsky”

How Can We Supplement With Oxygen, The Most Effective Eliminator of Acid?

I could use any combination of good oxygenators and plant source mineralizers, but in this discussion I will use two popular natural oxygen and mineral supplements as my examples:

OxyLiftTM the concentrated catalytic oxygen, nano-ionic mineral, amino acid, enzyme and subtle energy charged liquid provider. Tiny natural sea vegetable minerals mean instant absorption.
OxyEarthTM the natural powdered pristine full-spectrum ancient sea vegetable colloidal mineral and sulphur/MSM (all sorely missing from our diets) supplement. MSM is considered an oxygenator as it supports the body detoxifying its cell walls allowing free-flowing of nutrients and oxygen in, and toxic acidic wastes out.

If everyone would take just these two supplements daily, we might be able to revolutionize the healthcare system. OxyLiftTM & OxyEarthTM are the short and long term oxy-builders.

Continuous OxyLiftTM and OxyEarthT supplementation give the body plenty of the two most important raw materials needed so that it can eliminate acid waste: oxygen and vegetable source minerals. By continuously supplying the body with its needed supplemental oxygen and natural sea vegetable minerals - especially MSM/sulphur - the body can more effectively eliminate acid waste and sludge.

Most importantly, if we always have enough oxygen and minerals in the tissues and plasma, then the body won’t have to rob itself of vital buffering nutrients and minerals to neutralize the acids and stay healthy. In this way - with continual usage - these supplements safely allow the body to properly and gently slowly alkalinize itself over time.

When it comes to maintaining a proper and healthy acid-alkaline balance, oxygen and full spectrum natural minerals are the first things to look at. Only when you first have the proper levels of oxygen and minerals available, should you seek other answers to your health challenges. Every case is different, but many have not had to go past this first step. Because we are all so different, results will always vary.

Forget the latest new fantastic health supplement craze. Get back to what you are made of - and do not have enough of - first. We don’t really need to be chasing all the high-priced exotic new stuff. What you need FIRST are the basics, fully charged natural oxygen, plant minerals, and water. Plenty of them, all day, and every day without fail. Start there, & give it 3-6 months. You just may be very surprised - and very happy - how simple it all really is.
