Kemp Trading - Articles: Acid & Alkaline Balance

Western medicine does not attempt to remove acid wastes from the physiological s ystem; so today's modern medicine is deficient in treating adult diseases.

Even if medicines cure the disease, and the acids are not removed form the body; the treatment's effectiveness will only be temporary.

Bad diets, including meat and potatoes, fried foods, refined bread, soft drink colas and sugars, build up acid salts in the body. Often these deposits, by having to be stored away from the blood flow, can remain in the body for decades.

Stress, both mental and physical, can create acid deposits in the body. Mental stress can make you feel depressed.

While the physiological, scientific connection to stress in the body has not been completely established, there exists a school of thought in psychology, called psychosomatic, which maintains that one's mental state will influence health.

Doctors in Japan, following more than forty years of research and testing, believe that daily drinking of alkaline water can lift depression.

Lets look at some of the healing benefits of drinking ionized alkaline water.

Obesity is a major health problem in America. It arises from the overeating of carbohydrates and fats.

When the metabolic process is not able to burn them away, the blood must place these fatty acids somewhere. It first stores them under the skin, around the waist in men, and around the hips, thighs and breasts in women.
Then it deposits wastes around organs and tissues, which then receive a smaller supply of nutrients and are thereby damaged.

This second stage is more deadly.

An easy gentle way to lose weight is to wash fatty acids out of the body by drinking six to eight glasses of alkaline water a day.

This practice has been employed in Japan for the last thirty years, and doctors there record numerous instances of weight loss.

Dr. Keiichi Morishita in his book, "The Hidden Truth of Cancer", states that if the blood develops a more acidic condition, then these acidic wastes have to be deposited somewhere in the body. If this unhealthy process continues year after year, these areas steadily increase in acidity, and their cells begin to die.

Other cells in the affected area may survive by becoming abnormal; these are called malignant. Malignant cells do not respond to brain commands. They undergo a cellular division that is out of control. This is called cancer.

Modern medicine in America treats these malignant cells as if they were bacteria or viruses. It uses chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to treat cancer.

Yet none of theses treatments will help very much, if after all the acidic environment remains.

Drinking water that has a high alkaline pH, because of its de-acidifying effect, will help in preventing cancer, and in Asia, alkaline water is regularly served to patients.
