Alkaline & Acid Foods  

Are You Eating Enough Alkaline Foods? 

 

The chart below shows the contribution of various food substances to the acidifying of body fluids. In general, it is important to eat a diet that contains foods from both sides of the chart. Allergic reactions and other forms of stress tend to produce acids in the body. The presence of high acidity indicates that more of your foods should be selected from the alkalizing group. Check your pH using a pH Test Kit to find out if your selections are providing the desired balance.  It is best to eat a diet comprised of 25% acid foods and 75% alkaline foods, and to have an Alkaline PH increase.  We hope you will find this chart helpful on your journey to better health.

Eating and drinking too much (or any) acidic foods, with a lowered pH, results in inflammatory disorders which can become symptomatic when combined with gene flaws. Kidney stones come from acid ash formed in the urine in the kidneys. Pancreatitis and cholecystitis are inflammatory disorders. Acidification caused by drinking milk, causes gas, bloating, acne, asthma, and eczema. A physician who pretends to study milk allergies has recently reported that you can just go on eating milk, year after year, and the allergies and diseases caused by milk acidification will just go away! I wonder who pays him to write his articles and lie to the public like that. Milk is a near poison for the acidification and all the diseases it causes. Lactose intolerance is intolerable and will never go away once you get it. Never drink Cow's Milk or any other kind of milk. Do not feed it to your children.

 

SLE is an inflammatory allergic reaction to your own protein. Gout comes from the acidification associated with drinking wine. The hangover from drinking liquor is not limited to the head pain-bad feelings experienced the next day. It occurs in the back pain, shoulder arthritis, and osteochondritis (fraying of the cartilage in your joints) that goes on and on and on weeks after the so-called hangover is gone. Yes, breast cancer occurs with greatest frequency in obese women, who are consuming excesses of acidic foods. Chronic inflammation and a little genetic flip and cancer of the breast finds a haven in the inflamed breast. Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory disorder, as is Crone’s Disease. Heberden's nodes, the swellings on the last joints of your fingers, occurs in osteoarthritis. The swellings and deformities of Rheumatoid Arthritis occur from acidification.  And what happens in the prostate gland of guys who smoke and drink alcohol like in the olden days? Prostatitis is not grand, now is it?

 

Find out how to use Apple Cider Vinegar to combat acidification. Learn about alkaline water and products like Barley Green.  Make and take green shakes in a power blender so you get all your fruits and vegetables daily. Learn to keep your acidity low, and lower. There is nothing as wonderful as feeling healthy. That is maybe the best feeling in existence. Go for it. Call Dr. Monte Meldman at 847-236-9999 to learn more about how to alkalize and de-acidify your body so that you get your share of healthy living.
