Alkalinity & the pH Connection

Do you know that body fluids, such as blood, spinal and saliva of the healthy body are alkaline (high pH), whereas the body fluids of the sick are acidic (low pH)? Do you know that most degenerative disease attributed to aging, such as cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, and other maladies like fatigue, kidney stones and gallstones have all been scientifically linked to mineral deficiencies that result in your bodily fluids, including your saliva, becoming more acidic?

Do you know that scientists have found that cancer thrives in an acidic medium, but cannot survive in an alkaline medium? Do you know that by spitting on a penny's worth of pH paper you can measure your level of acidity and health? Do you know that with vitamin and mineral supplements, you can lower the acidity of your body fluids and become healthy and more alkaline?

Did you know that scientists have found that cancer CANNOT survive in an alkaline medium? "If the doctors of today do not become the nutritionists of tomorrow, then the nutritionists of today will become the doctors of tomorrow." -- (Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research)

What Is Coral Calcium

Coral Calcium is weathered reef-building coral, a fossil of coral. It is gathered from the pristine waters of the Nansei Islands which are the Ryukyu and the Satsunan Islands combined. They spread southeast between Kyushu and Taiwan. Its status as a natural food additive was officially recognized by the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare in July 1989.

Coral Calcium contains naturally balanced calcium, magnesium and other trace element minerals indispensable to the vitality of the human body. Coral Calcium dissolves into water to produce a healthy alkaline mineral water. These minerals chemically alkalize acidic water, in other words they raise the pH. They also have high cell permeability because of their small particle size and ionic charge.

They produce water which is healthy and superior to natural spring water in both taste and quality. Old acidic water in a living body is gradually transformed into new Coral Calcium enriched alkaline water. This is the basis of the incredible restorative and healing power of Coral Calcium in addition to the myriad benefits of calcium as a supplement.
The importance of supplying dietary calcium is known to every adult American.

Compared to other calcium preparations, Coral Calcium is high in magnesium and plentiful in other trace elements which tend to be lacking in today's diets. Increasingly, it has come to be used as a material for strengthening mineral content of processed food, health food or other food items, as well as its burgeoning use as a nutritional supplement.

Optimum Health: PH 7.5

It is important to remember that the intervals on the pH scale area exponential. Therefore the pH scale represents vastly wider differences in concentration than the figures themselves seem to indicate. The examples described below represent several magnitudes of difference rather than the tiny numerical difference between pH 4.5 and pH 7.5. This small numerical difference can be tremendous when it is applied to your survival.

Alexis Carrel kept a chicken heart alive in an alkaline solution for 28 years. He was able to do so by constantly changing the solution so that the composition of the solution maintained a certain alkaline proportion of elements. Acid byproducts of cell metabolism were also eliminated. The following is a summary of various pH levels and their respective significance:

7.6 pH Ideal alkaline level. To maintain this level of alkalinity, it is recommended that you consume a minimum 800 mg of calcium daily

7.0 Your body is neutral. It is neither alkaline or acidic. To bring your pH level to 7.5 it is recommended that you consume 1,000 mg of calcium daily

6.5 Your body is 10 times more acidic than pH 7.5. To bring you pH level to 7.5. It is recommended you consume 1,200 mg of calcium daily. You may be developing diseases.

6.0 Your body is 20 times more acidic than pH 7.5. To bring your pH level to 7.5. It is recommended you consume 2,400 mg of calcium daily.

5.5 Your body is 100 times more acidic than pH 7.5. To bring your pH level to 7.5. 800 mg of calcium are recommend daily. Serious degenerative diseases may be present.

5.0 Your body is 200 times more acidic than pH 7.5. To bring your pH level to 7.5. It is recommended you consume 3,200 mg of calcium daily.

4.5 Your body is 1,000 times more acidic than pH 7.5. To bring your pH level to 7.5 It is recommended that you consume 3,600 mg of calcium daily.

In an important scientific breakthrough scientists discovered that the body fluids of healthy people are alkaline with a high pH. The bodily fluids of sick people are acidic with a low pH.

It is also important to note that ionic calcium as in coral calcium is recommended because it is more readily absorbed by the body. Magnesium is also crucial to maintaining body fluids at a ratio of one part of magnesium to three parts of calcium.

Each milligram of calcium requires approximately 2 international units of Vitamin D to insure proper absorption by the small intestine. Another amazing discovery is that most degenerative diseases attributed to aging such as cancer, osteoporosis and heart disease as well as other diseases such as allergies, kidney stones and gallstones have all been scientifically linked to mineral deficiencies.

Particularly deficiencies in ionic calcium that result in your bodily fluids becoming more acidic.

Degenerative Diseases

Over 150 degenerative diseases are linked to Ionic Calcium Deficiency. Here are just a few: Cancer, Diabetes, Arthritis, Heart Disease, Osteoporosis, Kidney Stones, Gallstones, Hypertension, Eczema, Bone Spurs, Muscle Cramps, Gout, Indigestion, Rickets, Fibromyalgia, High Cholesterol, Headaches, Hiatal Hernia, Insomnia and many more. Acidosis is an overly acidic body.

It is the PRIMARY indicator or the precursor to all of the above mentioned problems. It signals the onset of Ionic Calcium Deficiency Disease or I.C.D.D. A simple SALIVA pH test can determine if your body is overly acidic.

SALIVA AS A BAROMETER OF HEALTH

Saliva contains a pre-digestive enzyme called Ptyalin which converts starches into glucose. The Ptyalin enzyme works best when the pH is greater than 7.0. Except for stomach fluid and urine, all body fluids of the healthy body are mildly alkaline at pH 7.4.

Your blood must remain at this pH. If it changes your body acts immediately to restore the proper pH or you could die. As the body becomes deficient in the nutrients that maintain these pH levels such as calcium, the body responds with a rob Peter to pay Paul defense mechanism.

The body robs the saliva of alkaline nutrients to pay the blood to preserve life. This is manifested in a nutrient deficient saliva becoming acidic. Thus, the more nutrients robbed from the saliva, the more acidic it becomes, indicating the state of nutrient deficiency or the state of your health. You can't afford not to take this test. It may save your life!

The History Coral Calcium

At the dawn of life itself on this planet, the balance of all living things began in the ocean. And among the oldest and most primitive organisms is CORAL, with over 2,500 known varieties. Coral reefs are formed over thousands of years, and in places like Okinawa, they may build up into large islands. The reefs are gradually worn away by the action of waves and tide. The residue consisting of finely ground coral sinks to the seabed where it mingles with the previous elements of the sea itself.

This story all begins in 1979 on the islands of Okinawa and Tounoshima, off the coast of Japan, where a British journalist from the Guinness Book of Records, was given the assignment of interviewing Sigechiyo Izumi, the world's oldest documented living person, a sprightly 115 year old man in remarkably good health.

The journalist was astonished by his vitality and the fact that he had worked until the age of 105. After noticing that most of the islands inhabitants were in ridiculously good health and seldom died before age 95, he persuaded Mr. Izumi to submit to a medical checkup.

The results were nothing short of fantastic. How could a person of his age possibly be so healthy? A team of researchers came to the island to answer this question and made some amazing discoveries. They found that the water the islanders drank was different from water found anywhere else in the world.

These particular islands were built up over the years from coral reefs. When rain falls on the islands, it percolates down through these ancient coral deposits and picks up minerals and other elements that make it truly unique. Not only did this water contain many essential minerals that made it very similar chemically to the elements found in the human skeleton and bodily fluids, the amniotic fluid and blood, but it also was very alkaline, with a pH of 8.6.

After years of research, it was found that just a small amount of these special coral sands added to just about any liquid would bring it into pH balance. Further, they found that it also neutralized any waste products that may be present in water and added a number of important substances often removed during treatment at local water plants.

Even water of poor quality that contained impurities such as bacteria, algae, heavy metals, fluoride, and chloroform left over from the treatment process, representing considerable health hazards, could also be helped to be brought into balance.
Eleven years ago, the health conscious Japanese government authorized Coral Bio-Tech Company, Ltd. To mine the coral sand that had collected on the sea floor around Okinawa. Today the company has 85,000 employees in Japan involved in the mining, packaging and distribution of the coral sand to over four million Japanese who use the product daily.

Coral Bio-Tech, careful not to damage any of the living coral, extracts, pulverizes and treats this Sango coral sand, which has been enriched with valuable minerals and trace elements from the sea. The coral is then packaged. When placed into any liquid its high concentration of calcium and magnesium carbonates raises the liquid's pH level from acidic to alkaline.

The story didn't end when the world's oldest documented living man finally passed away at the ripe old age of 121. The product went from Japan to Europe and now to the United States. Today you can quench your thirst with water that contains the same properties that helped to give him such a long and healthy life. Incidentally, an autopsy was performed after his death and the doctors were astounded to find that his organs were like a person of fifty years of age.

The Benefits of Maintaining a Balanced pH

The human body has tremendous healing power. Properly maintained, the perfect pH balance to sustain a healthy life is between 7 and 8.6 alkaline. Drinking 1½ liters of water a day with a the recommended dose of coral calcium, your body will maintain a perfect pH level. Coral Calcium cleanses the kidneys, intestines and liver while breaking down heavy metals and drug residues in the body. It also contains various antioxidants that wrap around the cells to act as a buffer against free radicals.
Water is the single most important element for sustaining human life.

The body consists of 66% water, the blood, 83%. It is responsible for transporting nourishment to every living cell and is the key to all your bodily functions. Under normal conditions, the average person requires 1.5 to 2.5 liters of water a day.
Just how pure is the water you are currently ingesting? The quality of our water table which has as its source our surface water is steadily deteriorating because of pollutants, pesticides and other contaminants. Even our ground water is becoming more acidic.

Water pH can become acidified by bacteria, algae, chloroform, nitrates, and the materials used to transport it to your home. To illustrate the value of balanced water, at a pH level of 6 crabs die and fish die at a level of pH 3.

We are alkaline by design and acidic by function. Maintaining alkalinity is essential for life, health and vitality. All leading biochemists and medical physiologists have recognized pH or Acid-Alkaline balance as the most important aspect of a balanced and healthy body. They have long known that an alkaline pH is critical to cellular health.

We live and die at the cellular level. In order to understand a basic knowledge of pH balance, it is necessary to realize that all of the cells of the human body, billions of them, are slightly alkaline and must maintain constant alkalinity if they are to produce the ATP that gives us energy and cellular function. Alkalinity builds up and acidity tears down.

As each alkaline cell performs its task of respiration, it secretes metabolic wastes which are acidic. These acidic end products of cellular metabolism must not be allowed to build up. The body goes to great lengths to neutralize and detoxify these acids before they are in a position to act as poisons in and around the cells.
By removing wastes efficiently on a regular basis we prevent the changing environment of the cell that leads to degeneration.. Optimum alkalinity at the cellular level equals optimum health.

Ionic Calcium Can Put the Balance Back in Your Life Today

Ionic Calcium helps you fight degenerative diseases. The most important mineral for your good health is Calcium. A minimum of 800 mg of calcium is recommended daily. The key advantages of Ionic Calcium are that it boosts your immune system, balances your pH and detoxifies your body.

35% of your body's mineral content is Calcium. It is the glue that holds all your cells together and the mineral that carries the electrical current that makes the heart beat. Calcium regulates muscle contractions and opens the receptors of the cells for feeding. It allows brain cells to communicate with each other, stops bleeding in cuts and is responsible for keeping the blood alkaline.

Calcium produces voltages for all crucial biochemical reactions and allows DNA to replicate. It is responsible for producing strong cellular building material and is the essential building block of enzymes and hormones. Calcium is the principal ingredient in the formation and maintenance of bones.

It triggers DNA synthesis in the fertilized egg and allows the fetus to develop. It builds and maintains bones and teeth, regulates heart rhythm, eases insomnia and helps regulate the passage of nutrients in and out of the cell walls.

Calcium assists in normal blood clotting, helps maintain proper nerve and muscle function and lowers blood pressure. It is essential to normal kidney function. According to current research, Calcium reduces the incidence of colon cancer and reduces blood cholesterol level.

Cancer and pH

Cancer cells grow well in a culture solution produced by the metabolic wastes of regular cell cultivation. Since the metabolic waste material of regular cells is acidic, cancer cells like this acidic condition. Dr. S. Ikada

According to modern physiology, our body cells are surrounded by fluids that should be slightly alkaline in order to sustain life. If the condition of these extracellular fluids, particularly the blood, becomes more acidic, our physical condition will first manifest tiredness, proneness to catching colds, etc.

When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then manifests pains and suffering such as headache, chest pain, stomachache and so on. If the blood develops a more acidic condition, according to Keiichi Morishita in his Hidden Truth of Cancer, our body will inevitably deposit these excess acid forming substances in some area of the body. For instance in the breast area for Americans or the stomach for the Japanese.

In this way the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition. As this process continues, such areas will increase in acidity and some cells will be destroyed. However, some other cells may instead adapt in that environment and become abnormal. They have adapted to and are existing in an acidic condition.
These abnormal cells are called malignant. Malignant cells do not respond to brain function or our own memory code. Therefore, malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer.

Why does an acidic condition in the body fluids cause cells to become malignant? Acidity in the extracellular fluids kills nerve cells which are connected with the brain, it also disrupts the electrochemical environment that transmits vital metabolic instructions from the brain. Acidity in the intracellular fluids damages cell nuclei, which control cellular growth. Therefore, cancer develops in the following way:

We ingest acid forming foods. This causes an increase of acidity in the blood. Through a process of ionic exchange, the blood reestablishes its critical pH by leeching alkalinity from the lymph or fluid that surrounds our tissue, thus increasing the acidity in the extracellular fluids.

In typical chain reaction the lymph leeches alkalinity from intracellular fluids. Precipitating an increase of acidity in the intracellular fluids. This disrupts the delicate process of mitosis and causes the birth of malignant cells. This is the onset of cancer growth.

The above scenario on cancer development is an over simplified summary of the cancer research of several scientists. A Dr. Yanagisawa observed the blood of two leukemia patients. One a survivor of the atomic explosion on Hiroshima, and the other a fisherman who suffered from atomic bomb radiation near the Bikini Island in the Pacific.

He observed these patients to have blood low in calcium and magnesium ions, which translates into an acidic condition. When the number of calcium ions decreased to 15 mg./100 ml. Of serum, the patients died.
