pH Scale, pH Level, pH Balance

What does 'body pH' mean?
The pH, which is an abbreviation for ‘power of hydrogen’, is a measuring unit of acidity and alkalinity of a solution. It is numerically equal to 7 for neutral solutions, increasing with increasing alkalinity (14 = maximum alkalinity) and decreasing with increasing acidity (0 = maximum acidity). The urine, blood, saliva, digestive juices and the fluids inside and outside the body’s cells each have an optimum pH level, whereby blood pH is the most telling of all.
At rest, the normal blood pH of a human being is slightly alkaline, with a pH around 7.4 on the pH scale. Anything above that value is considered alkaline; anything below is described as acidic. Both, in their extremes, are life-threatening for the human body; if the pH value drops below 6.8 or increases above 7.8, the cells of the body cannot function properly anymore and the human will die.

Illustration: The pH scale

How does pH imbalance affect our body?
The pH level, the acid-alkaline measurement of our bodies, affects every cell in our body. A constantly imbalanced pH level won’t be tolerated by our internal system as well as our entire metabolic process. Both depend on a healthy alkaline environment through pH balance. By consuming too many unhealthy, acid forming or acidic foods, the growth of harmful bacteria, fungus, yeast and other micro organism is promoted within our body, which may result in obesity (we create fat cells to carry acids away from our vital organs), allergies (the absorption of undigested proteins due to an overly acidic body is a major cause of allergy conditions), fatigue (an over-acidified body produces toxins and weakens the body’s ability to produces enzymes and hormones) and many other unhealthy conditions.
How to achieve pH balance?
A diet, which consists of a proper acid alkaline balance of foods, will help to transform your body's pH balance from dangerously acidic to healthy (slightly) alkaline. Above that, you should add plenty of alkaline water to your daily diet.
A proper alkaline diet suggests taking in at least 80% of alkaline foods, like green vegetables or grasses, and never more than 20% of neutral and acidic foods. Eating green foods, vegetables and alkaline foods will help our internal fluids to achieve a natural pH balance as the acidic environment inside the body will be eliminated. That means, by eating vegetables all day long, or taking sprouted greens dietary supplements, and avoiding acid forming and acidic foods, the body’s pH level will gradually be balanced. When pH balance is achieved, your body will start to restore its overall health.

Over the last five years, scientist have discovered through a chain reaction of metabolic event that elevated levels of insulin in the bloodstream increase blood levels of a hormone called "insulin like growth factor one " (IGF-1) and decrease another hormone called "insulinlike growth factor binding protein three" (IGFBP-3). The decrease in IGFBP-3 causes tissues to be less sensitive to one of the body's natural chemicals signals (retinoic acid) that normally limits tissue growth. In addition, IGF-1, a potent hormone in all tissues, is a major regulator of growth: increased levels of IGF-1 encourages growth, and reduced levels slow growth. Children who are below normal height have low levels of IGF-1. When IGF-1 is injected into these children, they immediately start to grow taller. As you might expect, tall children have higher levels of IGF-1.

Diets that cause insulin resistance-particularly, high glycemic carbohydrate diets-increase IGF-1 levels, lower IGFBP-1 levels, and decrease tissue sensitivity to retonic acid. There hormonal changes, in turn, accelerate growth in developing children.

What does this have to do with adult health? Its been found that IGF-1 is a powerful stimulator of cell division-growth- in all cells during all phases of life. In fact, scientist suspect that IGF-1 may be one of the primary promoters of all unregulated and tissue growth in the body. But IGFBP-3 prevent unregulated cell growth by causing cancer cell to die naturally through a process called "apoptosis". Over the last decade, numerous scientific papers have shown a strong association between elevated levels of IGF-1, lowered level of IGFBP-3, and breast cancer in premenopausal women, prostate cancer in men, and colorectal cancer in all adults. In animal model of many types of cancer, scientist can promote cancer by adding a key ingredient - IGF-1; conversely adding IGFBP-3 slows cancer. So, the whole chain of hormonal events initiated by elevated blood levels of insulin tends to promote the cancer process

The Paleo diet (Revised Edition), lose weight and get healthy by eating the foods you were designed to eat, Loren Cordain, Ph.D., John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Pag. 80-82, Par, 4

Mexico and the US base their food pyramids on grains and very little good quality animal protein. Both of these country's lead the world in obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. Why can we stop and question these foods that are imposed to us? At one point there are not doing there jobs to keep all there population healthy.

High consumption of refined grains or grains in general, sugars and process food that are unnatural for are genetics will always cause harm. Eliminating these foods for your daily diet would be the best thing that you can do for your health.

ITS BEEN FOUR DAYS

Its been four days since we headed out to visit our daughter in New York. We were stopping in North Carolina to visit some friends, since it is half way. Well, surprise to all the car broke down and is waiting for a part to be delivered. Car will be done hopefully on Monday.

Since we left from home, our friends have put us up and we have been enjoying their company. The other day we adventured out to the beach and site seen the beauty of North Carolina. I would like to take this time and thank the
Cerniglia’s for showing us a wonderful time.

Until Monday, keep your fingers crossed for I am looking forward to seeing my daughter. New York here we come.

This journey is some what of a challenge. I have to adjust my food search and pills, but it is an adventure and am ready for what ever comes my way.

Hoping that everything goes okay on Monday with my car and it gets fixed. Until next time have a merry Sunday.

Journey Ahead

Hello everyone,

My journey will start this month by being on the Road Again.  It starts by going to New York to visit my daughter. Packing, Packing a lot of her things, its head to toe in the car.  Looking forward to this visit~  I had not seen her since before my treatments in Mexico.  Dan and I will be driving up and will be taking our time.  We will be stopping half way to visit some friends and then heading up to New York.

Then our plans are to go to Mexico again for more treatment.  They call it the booster plan.  This will be for 10 days and will be as an out patient.  It will be more relaxed for I will not have to be in the facility everyday and  it will be nice seeing my doctors again.

I will be informing all on how my treatments turn out.  I am so lucky to be able to share my experience without being sick.  I hope by showing my experience it will allow others to think twice of surgery, chemo and radiation.

I had been DX almost five months and the tumors have shrunk with functional medicine.  I have had quality of life with enjoying time with my family without pain.

MY ORGANIC GARDEN

YOU TO CAN GROW YOUR GARDEN ANYWHERE

" 'Green fingers' are a fact, and a mystery only to the unpracticed. But green fingers are the extensions of a verdant heart. A good garden cannot be made by somebody who has not developed the capacity to know and love growing things."

SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH

5-14-11

What is the truth? Is it what the media says? Or even what our doctors tell us? We learn from a young age about trust and our parents tell us who and what to trust. But did we listen to them! The answers to all of the questions above are we have to listen more to our hearts. Since I was diagnosed with cancer, I have been searching and researching and found out that the only one that you can rely on is yourself. By doing research you will gain knowledge and be able to make your own mind up.


I have always took into account peoples opinions and did not take into account that we are only on this earth for a short time. We need to take control of what is good and what is not. I am very passionate
aboutkeeping people informed about what is around us, this is why I am doing this journal to show that there is another way we can take care of your health without harmful things. We can take care of ourselves without man made chemicals.

I am hoping that this will open up your mind to idea’s that you never thought of and change your ways. I know from where I sit that I have made changes that I never thought of and feel so much better about myself.

Please, join me in the fight to changeand go organic and stay away from processed foods and chemicals. So many diseases occur from these harmful products. We need to show that it is not all to do with the money, but the hearts of people. We are
each a drop of water, but together we are an ocean.



I am going back to Mexico in June for a booster treatment. The treatments consist of:

What is NK CELL Therapy:

The discovery of NK cells occurred in the early 1970s by Swedish professor Rolf Kiessling during research on the well-characterized ability of T-lymphocytes to lyse tumor cells against which they had been previously immunized. During these experiments, investigators consistently observed what was termed a natural reactivity, that is, a certain population of cells seemed to be able to lyse tumor cells without having been previously sensitized to them. As these discoveries were incompatible with the established model at the time, many of these observations were initially considered artifacts.

However, by 1973, 'natural killing' activity was established across a wide variety of species, and the existence of a separate lineage of cells possessing this ability was postulated. Through the use of monoclonal antibodies, natural killing ability was mapped to the subset of large, granular lymphocytes known today as NK cells.

The cells were named "natural killer" because of the initial notion that they do not require activation in order to kill cells that are "missing-self" recognition ("missing-self" recognition is a term used to describe cells with low levels of MHC class I cell surface marker molecules — a situation that could arise due to viral infection, or in tumors under strong selection pressure of killer T cells).

With the discovery of activating receptors almost two decades after the discovery of the inhibitory receptors these cells continue to be called by the same name, though “natural” no longer means the same thing. The term “natural killer” continues to be justified by:

morphology characteristic of activated cytotoxic lymphocytes, large size, high protein synthesis activity in the abundant endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and preformed granules

the mature state (does not require much new
protein synthesis and remodeling before starting to kill)

I am looking forward completing my journey with me managing the cancer and to showing you all that you can live a quality of life while fighting the disease as well as after without chemicals and surgery.

Until next time, keep your head up high and love in your heart.

NATURAL HEALING WATER alkaline water

WE ARE BORN FROM OUR MOTHER’S WOMB WITH OUR BODIES BEING ALKALINE.

OUR BODIES ARE MADE UP OF 70% OF WATER

　

AS WE GET OLDER WE DRINK SODAS AND OTHER DRINKS THAT ARE ACIDIC

AND EAT FOODS THAT ARE EQUALLY ACIDIC

OUR FOOD AND WATER WE USE ARE VERY IMPORTANT

FOR OUR HEALTH

WHAT IS WATER

Water is made up of a bond between two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Its chemical formula is H2O

Water is always in movement. The idea of “still water” is misapplied as the molecules that make up water cause it to move constantly. It is also the only natural element found on earth that can exist in all three states of being: liquid, solid and gas.

Water is probably one of, if not the most, substances in the universe. It can help create life and it sustains life as well as keeping planets working the way that they should. Water is more than the stuff that comes out of your faucet-it literally keeps you alive! Answering the questions what is water made of and what is water made up of might seem simple, but simple things often carry a great weight

HOW CAN WE CHANGE OUR EATING AND DRINKING HABITS FROM ACIDIC TO ALKALINE?

FIRST WE NEED TO KNOW THAT OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE BALANCED AND IN ORDER TO BALANCE WE NEED TO HAVE IT ALKALINE. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT ; FOR OUR IMMUNE SYSTEM FIGHTS OFF ILLNESSES.

EATING ORGANIC FOODS WILL KEEP YOU FROM THE CHEMICALS THAT THEY SPRAY ON THE PLANT. EATING GREEN VEGETABLES WILL PROVIDE ALKALINE AND DRINKING KANGEN WATER WILL ALSO PROVIDE YOUR SYSTEM WITH ALKALINE.

　

Water is essential for life, but it is often overlooked. It's critical not only to drink water, but to drink the right water; find out how choosing Kangen water can truly change your life with an Enagic Water® system.

KANGEN WATER IS A NATURAL HEALING SYSTEM FROM JAPAN. IN JAPAN MANY HOSPITALS USE IT AND THE JAPANESE ARE AMONGST THE LONGEST LIVING PEOPLE IN THE WORLD..
