Biologically Correct Diet - 11th Installment

Have you read the previous installments?

Previously mentioned was the fact that an acid body was a sick/dead body and an alkaline body was a well/healthy body. Also mentioned was the fact that the objectionable foods were acidic and the fresh fruits/nuts/seeds were alkaline. Here are some source materials that go into more depth on this relationship.

From the Sedona Health Letter:
Have you ever wondered why you can eat like a horse and still feel run down? Why you can get miles of exercise and not drop that extra chunky ten to fifteen pounds? Why most people you know are suffering from some kind of horrible imbalance doctors can't fix? Why, for all our medical breakthroughs, heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes are skyrocketing?

The answer is simple.

Most people are suffering from ACID OVERLOAD. What? Here's what we've discovered: Supermarket food is acid-forming. Meats, eggs, bread, cheese, crackers, etc. are ALL ACID in nature. (They should have added all cooked/processed food.)

All that food we crave is acid-forming and over-acidification of body fluids and tissues is linked to every known disease including that dragged-out daily fatigue most of us complain about and the endless list of digestive disorders.

When your body is overly acidic, you become vulnerable to germs, yeast, bacteria, molds, and fungi. These harmful microorganisms thrive in acidity. Most people today live on over-processed, over-cooked food. It's no wonder that "Tums" is America's best-selling drug.

What's the opposite of acid food? In a word, alkaline. What's alkaline? (Fresh) fruits, vegetables, nuts, and a few grains such as rice, spelt, amaranth, and quinoa (not wheat, corn, oats, or rye).

What's the science behind this theory? The relationship between acid and alkaline is scientificaly quantified on a scale of 1 to 14 known as pH. On that scale, 7 is neutral. Below 7 is acid and above 7 is alkaline.

Most of us eat 80% acid foods and 20% alkaline foods and just the opposite ratio is the one that will guide you to disease-free vibrant health - for life!

From True Health (Edgar Cayce):
Acid-alkaline balance is extremely important to normal physiology. For example, the blood will maintain a slightly alkaline range of 7.35 to 7.45. Extended pH imbalances of any kind are not tolerated by the body. The management of the pH factor is so important that the body's primary regulatory systems (especially breathing, circulation and eliminations) closely regulate acid-alkaline balance in every cell and system of the organism.

Researchers believe that high acidity can deplete bones because the body has to steal alkalizing minerals (especially calcium) from bones to keep the blood from dropping into the acid range. Thus acid-alkaline balance may be relevant to diseases such as osteoarthritis and osteoporosis.

Alkalinity can be increased by consuming less meat and (man-made) sweets and consuming more fresh, raw fruits and vegetables. Although eating fruit to increase alkalinity may seem to be a contradiction because some fruits are acidic outside the body, digestion uses up their acidic components, leaving an alkaline residue. The the net effect is alkaline-producing in the system. ...just as Nature intended.

Edgar Cayce consistently emphasized the importance of maintaining a proper acid-alkaline balance in the body. For most individuals, Cayce noted that the normal diet is about twenty percent acid to eighty percent alkaline-producing.

According to Cayce, ...eating acid-producing foods or combining foods improperly (even alkaline-producing foods) is said to lead to hyperacidity, even to "superacidity" in some instances.

High systemic acidity was consistently noted by Cayce in conditions such as arthritis. He sometimes observed that infectious agents (such as viruses) do not thrive in an alkaline environment..."cold germs cannot exist in alkalines."

In another instance when asked how to prevent colds, Cayce responded, "Keep the body alkaline! Cold germs do not live in an alkaline system! They do breed in any acid or excess of acid of any character left in the system."

Tibetan Lama Hanh:
"Maintaining higher energy within oneself is impossible if one consumes dead matter as food.
Most people are full of energy and enthusiasm in their youth, but then during adulthood they lapse into a slow, downhill slide that they pretend not to notice. After all, their friends are slowing down and their kids are active, so they spend more and more time sitting around eating the foods that taste good...(because they have become addicted to those foods.)
Before long, they begin to have nagging complaints and chronic problems such as digestive difficulties or skin irritations that they write off as just age, and then one day they get a serious illness that won't go away. Usually they go to a doctor who does not stress prevention and they begin to take drugs, and sometimes the problem is helped and sometimes it isn't. And then, as the years fly by, they get some disease that progressively gets worse, and they realize they are dying. Their only solace is that they think what is happening to them occurs to everyone --- that it is inevitable.
If we seek higher energy and at the same time consume foods that rob us of this energy, we get nowhere.
All disease is a drop in vibrational energy, and when our energy drops to a certain level, there are natural forces in the world that are designed to disincorporate our bodies.
When anything dies the cells of the body immediately lose their vibration and become very acid in chemistry. That acid state is the signal to the microbes of the world, the viruses, bacteria, and fungi, that it is time to decompose this dead tissue. This is their job in the physical universe...to return a body back to the earth.
When our bodies drop in energy because of the kinds of foods we eat, it makes us susceptible to disease. Here's how that works. When we eat foods, they are metabolized and leave a waste or ash in our bodies. This ash is either acid or alkaline, depending on the food. If it is alkaline, then it can be quickly extracted from our bodies with little energy. However, if these waste products are acid, they are very difficult for the blood and lymph systems to eliminate and they are stored in our organs and tissues as solids...low vibrational crystaline forms that create blocks or disruptions in the vibratory levels of our cells. The more such acid by-products are stored, the more generally acid these tissues become.
Then, a microbe of one type or another appears and senses all this acid and says, 'Oh, this body is ready to be decomposed.'
To repeat: when any organism dies, its body quickly changes to a highly acid environment and is consumed by microbes very quickly. So, if we begin to resemble this very acid, or death, state, then we begin to come under attack from microbes. All human diseases are the result of such an attack."

Now, we know why some people get diseases and why others do not...why some people die young and why others live long lives...why drugs do not cure, only make us sicker.
