I have become a big fan of Jamaican DJ, Barry G's radio talk show, where he discusses health issues. I was listening to one of his programs recently where a doctor came on to talk about the big 'C' that is taking the world by storm. Yes, I'm talking about CANCER like an international celebrity (which it has quickly become). A point that the doctor made, is that ACIDIC ENVIRONMENTS IN THE BODY BREED AND FEED CANCER. Remember in high school we learn about Acidic vs. Alkaline (or Basic). We used pH strips to test different solutions : pH of 7.0 is neutral, below 7.0 is acidic, above 7.0 is alkaline. Now in the body, it is important to maintain a balance in pH to secure good health. Any imbalance in pH can and will cause disease in the body. The longer you allow this to persist, the more serious the illness will become, and the more your LIFE is at risk.
Many people without the knowledge of the chemical constitution of the foods we put in our bodies, will defend their lifestyles, and further, degrade other people's diets not realizing that what they feel safe eating (too much of) is sometimes the worse thing they can do for their health. What we consume, or don't consume affects our immunity, and in turn affects our brain power, physical vitality, and LIBIDO. You wouldn't want to negatively affect your LIBIDO, now would you?
Most of the premature disfunction that we have in this day and age are from highly acidic diets, which also lead to proliferation of CANDIDA -which causes dandruff(and balding), yeast infections, athlete's foot, scaly skin, and many other physical imbalances. The saying "you are what you eat" is exact! If you eat acidic foods, your blood, which is the essence of life, becomes acidic. If you eat alkaline...you get the drift.
So even though that 'mushroom-and-jalapeño pizza' is off-the-chain, ordering it everytime I see a Dominos commercial will ultimately lead to my demise. Why am I picking on pizza, our favorite American dish? Check out the charts:

If you are paying close attention, you will notice that the same foods, when processed, change in pH. For example, AVOCADO is alkaline, while AVOCADO OIL is acidic. Remember that BALANCE means - the right amount of each thing. Therefore, you cannot totally eliminate acidic foods for the rest of your life! You must find a healthy middle.
The pH scale is from 0 - 14
| 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 healthy 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 |
To MAINTAIN healthy pH : 60% alkaline, 40% acidic. To RESTORE healthy pH : 80% alkaline, 20% acidic. Also note that the 'energy' or 'vibration' of different foods is the same as the energy/vibration they produce : ACIDIC vibrations include: Overwork, Anger, Fear, Jealousy, Stress. ALKALINE vibrations include: Meditation, Prayer, Peace, Kindness, and Love. Remember that cancer is also caused by toxic emotions, pollutants, and environmental stress. We can counteract these 'killers' by incorporating more alkaline-forming foods into our diets, giving our bodies more of that positive energy to counteract or balance the negative, unhealthy vibrations.
Take Good Care!
