Re: Here is .....
The body will eventually choose to make itself acidic, as a means of compensating for the user's inadvertently having poisoned it slowly over half a lifetime or less.
In time, others will validate my assertion that
Iodine is the Great Alkalizer. The basis for my conclusion follows from:
http://biomedx.com/microscopes/rrintro/rr1.html
from the article above:
"Our body pH is very important because pH controls the speed of our body's biochemical reactions. It does this by controlling the speed of enzyme activity as well as the speed that electricity moves through our body. "
Now, we can link halogen imbalance to body pH in many ways. First and possibly foremost for many involves the inhibitory effect that fluorides have on the body's enzymes. If the body's enzymes (catalysts) are poisoned (look up "catalyst poison" on goog) by fluoride (from chronic fluoride intake, regardless of source) so that the number of optimally-functioning enzymes in the body is substantially diminished, then the body's natural feedback mechanism for controlling enzyme activity by pH control will be less effective than it would be in the absence of the fluoride inhibition, and it will try its best to accommodate the lack of response of the body's enzymes by LOWERING the body's pH, so as to "speed things up". Notice the sections in the article in the link above that says that lowering the pH speeds things up. This is the body's way of compensating for its catalyst systems (enzymes), when they are being chronically inactivated.
The body goes more acidic, to compensate for decreased enzyme activity caused by chronic fluoride-induced enzyme inhibition. Becoming acidic is the body's natural response to having its enzymes poisoned, and de-activated, by fluorides , bromides, and heavy metals.
The answer may be to minimize intake of fluoride, bromide, heavy metals and other enzyme poisons. if possible, these ought to be moved out somehow. The research done by Dr. Abraham, Flechas, and others indicates that
Iodine can do this. I believe that they've shown that
Iodine kicks out bromides, fluorides, lead, mercury, and aluminum.
If the body is restored to a state where its enzyme systems are no longer substantially de-activated, then one would expect the body to adjust its pH to being less acidic, once again.
Thus, too much acidity may really just be an indicator of the level to which the body's enzymes are inactivated.
When the body makes itself acidic, all sorts of other problems start occurring too, like joint stiffness, lack of energy, etc.
The body is not a swimming pool where one can merely adjust the pH by adding hydroxide. Adding lime is treating the symptom, rather than the cause.
