The Cause of Degenerative Disease
 |
Felicia Drury Kliment is an adjunct professor at City College in New York and an alternative health consultant. "It took me twenty years of resaerching,writing,and consulting in the field of alternative health before I found the common denominator in all degenerative diseases:acidic wastes.These wastes are lergely the by-products of the food we eat.Wherever the wastes accumulate in the body,they cause nearby organs to malfunction and degenerate." "Alkaline water also rids the body of acidic wastes." |
"Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkaline to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount… It may seem strange to say that all disease is the same thing, no matter what its myriad modes of expression, but it is verily so."
William Howard Hay, M.D.,writer of "New Health Era"
"The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!"
Theodore A. Baroody, N.D., D.C., Ph.D.,writer of "Alkalize or Die"
Many doctors, herbalists and nutritionists believe that most degenerate diseases are caused by:
Understand pH
pH is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14—the lower the pH the more acidic the solution, the higher the pH the more alkaline the solution. When a solution is neither acid nor alkaline it has a pH of 7 which is neutral.

Acid Alkaline Unbalance
Our body's balance between acidity and alkalinity is referred to as acid-base balance. Body acidity increases when the level of acidic compounds in our body rises (through increased intake or production, or decreased elimination) or when the level of basic (alkaline) compounds in our body falls (through decreased intake or production, or increased elimination). Body alkalinity increases with the reverse of these processes.
The kidneys and lungs in our body maintain our body's acid/base (pH) balance. Acidosis is an increase of acidity in our body,usually refers to acidity of the blood plasma. Acidosis occurs when arterial pH falls below 7.35, while its alkalosis occurs at a pH over 7.45. Arterial blood gas analysis and other tests are required to separate the main causes.
The rate of cellular metabolic activity affects and, at the same time, is affected by the pH of the body fluids. Healthy human-arterial blood pH varies between 7.35 and 7.45. Blood pH values are limited between 6.8 and 7.8. Changes in the pH of arterial blood outside this range result in irreversible cell damage.
Symptom of Acidosis
• Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen.
• Weight gain, obesity and diabetes.
• Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones.
• Immune deficiency.
• Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations.
• Hormone concerns.
• Premature aging.
• Osteoporosis; weak, brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs.
• Joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid buildup.
• Low energy and chronic fatigue.
• Slow digestion and elimination.
• Yeast/fungal overgrowth.
A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. Most people who suffer from unbalanced pH are acidic. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals—including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium—from vital organs and bones to neutralize the acid and removes it safely from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity—a condition that may go undetected for years.
According to research cancer thrives in an acidic environment and not in a normal, more alkaline environment. When you have cancer, your pH levels are low and your body is too acidic. The blood, lymph and cerebral spinal fluid in the human body are designed to be slightly alkaline at a pH of 7.4. Cancer cells become dormant at a pH slightly above 7.4 and will die at pH8.5 while healthy cells will live.
Be Careful of Your Acidic Diet
Acidosis is very common in our society and it is mostly due to our diet:
- far too high in acid-producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy
- far too low in alkaline-producing foods like fresh vegetables.
- acid-producing processed foods like white flour and sugar
- acid-producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks.
- too many drugs are acid-forming
- artificial chemical sweeteners like NutraSweet, Equal, or aspartame , which are extremely acid-forming.
One of the best things we can do to correct an overly-acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.

Note that a food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves very acidic residue in the body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming.

Easy & Efficient to Maintain Acid-Base Balance
Drinking alkaline water is an easy and efficient way to help neutralize an acidic human body. The advantage of drinking alkaline water is that while being absorbed by the body, it helps neutralize acidic wastes, making them more soluble in the blood vessels.
