Understanding Body Chemistry — Alkaline vs. Acidic

Much of the nature of getting healthy and well is related to making sure that the body’s chemistry is regulated properly. A healthy individual with a high degree of well-being is very likely to have a body chemistry that is either close to neutral or favoring the side of alkaline chemistry.

On the other hand, an individual who is plagued with health problems, no matter which area of the body, is highly likely to have acidic chemistry ravaging throughout the body, or perhaps much acidity within a specific area of the body.

If you observe the chemistry of Planet Earth, you will notice that this is an alkaline-dominant planet. This is the type of chemistry that allows for new life to grow, including plant and animal life. If you observe other planets such as those in our solar system that are dominated by acid chemistry, you will also notice that they are completely devoid of life.

Acid chemistry is destructive and breaks down and disintegrates matter. Alkaline chemistry allows for the growth, sustenance, and development of matter. You can also see healing and regeneration take place under alkaline conditions.

Chemistry can be measured on a PH scale, from 0 to 14. 7 is completely neutral. Anything below 7 is acidic, and the further it goes down, the more acidic it is. Anything above 7 is alkaline, and the higher the measurement, the more alkaline it is.

The human body is naturally alkaline-dominant. Look at the blood for example, where the blood PH is slightly above 7 PH, meaning it is slightly alkaline. Much of the concept about chemistry in the body and in achieving good health is just common sense. Think about what would happen if the blood became acidic. It would essentially disintegrate the capillaries which are containing it within a matter of minutes. The blood must remain alkaline in order for the entire cardiovascular system to function.

The body has its own natural defense mechanisms to protect itself against acids and overly acidic conditions. For example, you can observe cholesterol plaque building up in certain areas as a buffer to protect against acids. You can also see swelling and water retention as a way to dilute the chemistry of an area and make it less acidic.

Also, you can observe the production of mucus and mucosa, which acts as a slime wall to shield tissue against acids which are absolutely destructive and will burn through tissue if undeterred. People often have mucus buildup throughout the body, not just in their head and throat, but also their chest cavity, lungs, and especially mucosa that builds up throughout their intestinal tract, acting as a protective buffer upon the bowel wall.

Also, you can sometimes observe actual lumps or balls that are built up in certain areas of the body, which encapsulate specific concentrated areas which are extremely acidic — this essentially shields the rest of the body from the acids which are contained within them. These blobs can grow quite large and in most cases the outside is made of a lipid, protective material, while what is contained inside is an extremely acidic slurry.

Oftentimes these reactive symptoms of the body are viewed as causative and the main focus, when in fact they are just defense mechanisms of the body to a chemical threat that is overly acidic. By building an awareness of the underlying body chemistry, and employing alkalizing techniques, the body can naturally reverse the processes, including buildup of cholesterol plaque, water retention, and mucus production. Even creation of large lumps are known to get smaller and eventually disappear when the body’s PH returns to a more alkaline state.

I will also mention occasionally there are issues when the body becomes too alkaline, and it is possible to have an excess of alkaline conditions in the body. However, this problem of over-alkalinity is extremely rare, occurring perhaps 1% or even far less in my understanding, as compared with the ubiquity of health problems that are relating to overly acidic conditions.

Changing the body’s chemistry is not necessarily easy, but it is simple. The body’s compass is always set to return itself to a state of alkalinity via its own self-healing process, if you can get out of its way and stop putting acids into it.

The body can take many years and in some cases decades of having acidic things being done to it, before finally starting to experience negative affects. Did you ever notice how many children can eat anything and never seem to be negatively affected? These youngsters can even continue to grow larger and foster their bodies’ development regardless. Then you have individuals like Keith Richards, the drug-taking, cigarette-smoking guitar player from The Rolling Stones, who can pour acids into his body for numerous decades and still have a high degree of energy and well-being. For some people, it never catches up with them until the very ends of their lives and God bless them for that. You can call that being lucky, having extremely good genes or having very strong constitutions health-wise.

For those people who are not super lucky, we have to figure out the hard way to keep our bodies in a state of balance and well-being. If we can just focus on getting the body into a more alkaline state of chemistry, it should be able to use its own innate intelligence to fix itself.

Just as your body knew what to do as you aged from Age 0 to Age 16 and intelligently grew in all the right ways, it will also be able to address your health concerns and problems and regenerate itself back into proper balance. However, you have to get out of its way for it to function in this way. You need to stop constantly barraging your body with acidic chemistry. Each time you do it’s like an attack on the body, which drains all resources that would otherwise be used on healing, growth and regeneration.

Acids in the body are filtered out of the body through the lymphatic system and the kidneys, as well as the bowels, lungs, skin, and menstruation in pre-menopausal women. As well as indirectly through the liver (which ultimately transmutes chemistry and sends acids to the kidneys for final elimination).

If an individual can get their lymphatic system and kidneys stimulated and filtering, as well as clean out their intestines and liver, and so a parasite cleanse, they are well on their way to getting years and even decades of acids cleared out of the body. This can be achieved with herbal supplements as well as doing multi-day total body cleansing, without changing the diet too dramatically. Also it is important to stimulate and get the endocrine system functioning properly which regulates all body functions and therefore has a far-reaching impact on changing body chemistry. Another aspect of altering body chemistry is obviously to avoid chemicals which are harmful — from food, water, the surrounding air, and what is being put in and on the skin and hair.

The next level after that is to make changes to one’s eating habits. Traditional cooked foods are almost all acid-forming. Raw foods, especially fruits, are mostly alkaline-forming. There are only a handful of categories of foods on the planet which are alkaline-forming, namely fruits and some vegetables. By eating these foods as much as possible and avoiding cooked acid-forming foods as much as possible, the body gradually starts becoming more alkaline. The food input is the hardest of all to change, while taking supplements and doing multi-day full body cleansing is typically easier. In terms of eating healthier, somebody doesn’t have to go ‘cold-turkey’ and switch overnight, but can do so gradually.

Making the body into an alkaline condition is quite simple, and common sense will affirm that eating alkaline-forming foods like raw fruits will accomplish this. It’s not necessarily going to be easy and breezy to pull off — just remember that the amazing results will reward your efforts 1,000 times over if you seriously go after it.

The last level that comes to mind is considering the emotions and focus of awareness that an individual has. If you take a look at how emotions tie into the adrenal system of the body, you will see that stress, fear, anger, and other low-vibration type emotions literally cause production of cortisol and essentially create an acidic aftershock within the body. On the other hand, if you look at things like love, physical affection, and joy, they cause positive sensations and production of serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin which soothe and reassure the body. Whether each of these chemical reactions are exactly alkaline I am not sure, but these processes are related to the principal of the nurturing and healing aspect of alkaline chemistry, and are deeply needed as well to promote self-healing from an electrical and spiritual perspective.

It is important to remove areas of attention, or as many as possible, that are negative, including blaming people for problems, being angry, constant worrying and stress. Even if somebody does everything else properly, in terms of the mechanics of detoxification, it would still be very difficult for this individual to heal and regenerate properly if these types of negative conditions are abundantly dominating his or her focus and attention.

Some people get into using these natural methods and they start to heal themselves but run into a block. In many of these instances, they are running into an emotional block of some kind due to something that they are struggling to let go of, whether emotionally, psychologically, from an Ego standpoint or spiritually.

With all of these things in mind, all of this is related to one important goal — which is to return your body to a state of alkaline-dominant chemistry. Once this is achieved, there are no limits to the levels of health and well-being that can be enjoyed, and it truly opens you up to then live a happy life and to be all you can be!
