PH Balance

Dr. Otto Warburg

Though the best cure for cancer is the prevention of it in the first place cancer has been proven to be reversible.
So how do we alkalize?

By keeping a pure, oxygenated environment wherein little to no fermentation takes place.
In other words: eat pure, unrefined foods, breath deeply, be stress-free, and do aerobic exercise daily.
Anaerobic (“without air/oxygen”) exercise causes fermentation in the body. Though it is vital to get the heart pumping and your pulse to raise, be careful about doing too much anaerobic exercise because it stresses the body and creates an acid environment.
Doing yoga, breathing deeply, meditating, laughing, singing, and eating foods that are alkalizing/oxygenating (both words are pretty much synonymous) all contribute to an alkalized pH. Even thinking happy, positive thoughts has been shown to alleviate stress, and thereby reduce the amount of cellular fermentation.

Things to know:
–We gain weight only when the body is toxic and cannot take out the trash. When our bodies are not able to output the same amount of toxins we input they become toxic/acidic. If you are not excreting the same amount of toxins you are are eat, put on your skin, or breathe in the air–you are creating cancerous conditions inside your body.

–You sweat daily and have at the VERY LEAST 1 full and complete bowel movement every day. (Your output of toxins should be equal to your input in order to keep your cells oxygenated and your blood at 7.3-7.4 [slightly alkaline.])

–Since most Americans do not output the same amount of matter that they input into their bodies it explains why so many people diet but do not lose weight. The body creates fat cells to store acid and other toxins. For instance, almonds have 79% fat, whereas pork only has 58%. The difference between the two is that pork, as with all meats, is literally dead. When anything is in a state of death or decay it holds an acidifying effect on its environment as it breaks down. Pork in particular is at 3 (or lower) on the pH scale, whereas almonds are at 8.

–Acidifying factors include hearing, thinking, or saying harsh/bitter/angry words; being in a traffic jam; feeling jealous or vengeful; over working; over-exercising; eating acidifying foods; inhaling, or being exposed to acidifying chemicals; and using electronics for too long (tvs, radios, computers, phones etc). This basically includes anything that reduces the amount of oxygen being delivered to the body (especially being in a stressful or fearful situation–wherein humans subconsciously begin to breath shallowly).

–Alkalizing factors include drinking fresh, pure water; breathing deeply; smiling or laughing; eating dark, leafy greens; eating citrus fruits; being in nature, singing or listening to/playing music, and thinking positive thoughts.

Soy: Friend, or Foe?

Ancient writings from China suggest that the soybean was traditionally considered unfit for human consumption. The reason may be that the soybean is uniquely endowed with certain toxic anti-nutrients that are now being linked to breast cancer, thyroid disease, menstrual and fertility issues as well as severe allergies, compromised immunity and brain damage(1).

Conclusion: Well, is soy friend, or foe?

Now that we’ve taken a look at the research from both sides of the isle, glanced at soy’s history, and taken into consideration the perspectives of two ancient systems of medicine, what’s the verdict? Here’s my take on it:

Soy should not be your main source of protein. Avoid soy pills. Avoid or reduce soy milk, soy cheese and other processed soy foods.

A note on tofu: in Japan, tofu is significantly more cultured with a much stronger taste than it is here in the states. American tofu should be eaten in moderation.

Enjoy traditionally fermented soy products such as miso, tempeh, natto, and traditionally brewed soy sauce. Still, make sure even these products are organic and non-GMO. Very important!

Consider including natto either as a food in your diet, or the enzyme nattokinase as a supplement, to maintain the optimal health of your arteries and protect them from atherosclerosis and blood clots.*

What is a GMO?

“Genetically Engineered Foods,” “Genetically modified organisms,” or GMOs, are organisms that have been created through application of transgenic, gene-splicing techniques that are part of biotechnology. This relatively new science allows DNA (genetic material) from one species to be transferred into another species, creating transgenic organisms with combinations of genes from plants, animals, bacteria, and even viral gene pools. The mixing of genes from different species that have never shared genes in the past is what makes GMOs and GE crops so unique. It is impossible to create such transgenic organisms through traditional crossbreeding methods.

We Have the Right To Know
92% of Americans want the FDA to label genetically engineered foods. Watch the new video from Food, Inc. Filmmaker Robert Kenner to hear why we have the right to know what’s in our food. Will you join these individuals — and over half a million Americans — in contacting the FDA to require the labeling of genetically engineered (GE) foods? (copy and paste the following).

Morning bliss

In the morning after rising, drink one glass of warm water. This will help end ‘dehydration’ of the night and increase the regularity of the bowel movement. A little later, drink a second glass of warm water, this time add a teaspoon of honey and the juice of two slices of fresh lemon. This helps to remove AMA and harmful bacteria from the gastrointestinal tract, and assists the intestines in eliminating any accumulated waste material. Wait for at least 30 minutes before eating breakfast.
