Acidic Urine – 3 Things You Want to Avoid

The phrase, acidic urine gets quite a few searches on the web every day. Why are people searching on acidic urine?

When someone searches for acidic urine, that person could have either positive or negative motivations. In the following paragraphs we are dealing only with the negative or pain avoidance motivation side. We are going to tackle the three actions or errors that a person would want most to avoid.

For a general overview of the challenge area here, you ought to know that high uric acid in your blood and urine can lead to agonizing gout. This happens because high uric acid can lead to crystal formation in your joints, leading to the agonizing symptoms of gout.

So what exactly do we need to avoid here? And explain to me, just why should I wish to avoid that?

Well, when dealing with high uric acid, we are actually dealing with your body’s metabolism which produces the uric acid in the first place. Chemical compounds called ‘purines’ break down as a part of this process and form uric acid. Importantly, purines exist in our foods too.

Thus, we need to take steps to ensure that we reduce and maintain uric acid levels in urine and blood at healthy levels. And so, here then are the 3 things you should avoid…

]]>

First off, avoid foods with high purine levels. The main reasoning for this is that as you saw above, purines produce uric acid, and, they exist in our food as well as our bodies.

What amount of avoidance will I need? For foods with very high concentrations, then complete avoidance. For foods with relatively low-medium levels, then some reduction in their intake should be sufficient.

Second, you need to avoid stress. And just why would that be? Well, stress increases your metabolism, and as you’ve seen, your metabolism produces uric acid. So gout and stress are definitely linked. Therefore, you need to reduce your stress.

Third and finally, avoid becoming overweight. The reason behind this is that a person who is overweight has more body mass and thus their metabolism can produce more uric acid. Being overweight is recognised as being one of the most critical factors in having high uric acid, and therefore gout.

Now whilst these 3 issues are important, they aren’t the whole story. There are many other issues to be addressed to arrive at a proper cure for gout. And you really do need to prevent frequent gout attacks because they can lead to permanent joint damage and other problems such as kidney stones.

You’re in luck though. There’s a special gout report available online [see below] that has all the information you need in one place. It is what thousands of ex-gout victims worldwide have successfully used to prevent their gout returning. It also contains a special 2 hour gout pain relief program.

And it uses fully-researched, totally natural methods. So that you benefit two ways: (1) you get rid of your excruciating pain very fast, and, (2) you prevent your gout returning, so that you reduce the risk of permanent damage.

So to get gout symptom relief in 2 hours, plus, prevent your gout returning in the future, then go to http://gout-relief-today.blogspot.com and discover how you can quickly do both without expensive drugs with their horrible side effects.

An Acidic Vaginal Environment When You Want A Girl Baby

A few of the things that I advise couples to do when they want to conceive a girl baby are things that might happen naturally or by accident. In other words, sometimes, you might luck out and do the things that make it more likely to have a girl baby without really trying. Examples are having intercourse well before ovulation and using shallow penetration when you have sex. Both of these things will help you get pregnant with a female baby, and you might already be doing these things without making any real additional effort.

However, there is one variable that many couples will have to make a very conscious effort to complete. This is raising the mother-to-be’s vaginal acidity. This is something that doesn’t always happen on it’s own and sometimes needs a little help and attention. I will discuss why this is so in the following article.

Why Couples Who Want To Go Pregnant With Girl Babies Might Want To Raise The Mother-To-Be’s Vaginal Acidity: Sometimes, when I begin discussing this, people think I’m advising it because it aids in conception. This really isn’t the case. I only advise it for couples wanting a girl. This would be bad advice for couples who wanted a son. Here’s why.

When you have intercourse with your partner, his sperm producing chromosomes are going to race for your egg. The goal is for one of them to fertilize it. Some of these (the Y’s) will be those that will end up producing a boy baby. And, some of them (the X’s) will be those that might ultimately become little girl babies. If you are hoping for a daughter, then you want for their to be many more healthy and viable X’s available to the egg. To take it even further, you want as few Y’s left in that race as you can manage. And, of those that are still available, you’d ultimately like for them to be compromised or weakened in some way so that the girl producing chromosomes can beat them out and fertilize your egg so that you will be successful in getting pregnant with a girl.

]]>

One way to set up this scenario is to also set it up so that the woman’s vaginal tract becomes more acidic. The reason for this is that this condition is hostile or unfavorable to those very Y’s that you are trying to discourage. Think about it this way. All of these sperm are racing for your egg, but, along the way, they will have to navigate their way through your vaginal tract. If they are met with an acidic surrounding, this is better for the X’s because they can handle the acid. Since the Y’s (or the sperm that produces boys) are compromised when the surroundings are too acidic, couples who want a son would be best served to make sure that they create an alkaline environment (and actually lower their acidity.)

As I said, this isn’t always something that you will accomplish by accident or without knowing it. Some couples have to be very deliberate with this. You can start by using PH testers to see the level where you are starting. There are some lucky couples that start out to being acidic enough. But, others will have to make some changes to their diet or incorporate a douching regimen (or both) to see the results that they need.

I’ve put together a few websites that take a lot of the guess work out of becoming pregnant and choosing your baby’s gender. You’ll find step by step instructions, resources for determining ovulation times, douche recipes and food PH lists, information on when to conceive, tips, support, and examples of ovulation predictors / PH testing strips.

Ph Balance Of The Human Body / Unhealthy Verses Healthy / Acidic Verses Alkaline

Have you ever thought about the human body what makes it tick. What makes it produce static electricity and generate energy so that we may do a multitude of tasks at any given moment in time. Where does the magnetism come from and how does it operate. Well that’s what we’re going to talk about.

There is not a computer or a machine built by man today that is more complex and wonderful to behold than the human body.  Now many scientists do disagree on the amount of cells we possess, some believe 6 trillion cells and others believe over 60 trillion cells. Who cares who’s right, the fact of the matter is the human body is simply amazing. There’s just one question I want to ask? What gives it the spark of life, energy, magnetism? That’s the question I’m going to attempt to answer for you.

When you and I take in a breath of air we are not only breathing in oxygen, but we are also breathing in nitrogen and pollutants as well. Of the air that we breath on a daily basis approximately 18 to 24% is only oxygen almost 70 % is nitrogen and the rest is carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other pollutants that we have put into our atmosphere over time and space. Now what about this nitrogen? Nitrogen is what I like to refer to as the spark of life. It is the nitrogen in the air that we breath that sparks the neurotransmitters ot the brain to send messages throughout the human body telling it what to do at any given moment in time. Yes, but how does it do that you may ask?

Our bodies are a complex structure of skin, matter, water, blood, cerebral spinal fluid, organs, veins and arteries etc. etc. etc., that are primarily composed of Ions, Protons, Neurons etc.  that are  the cataclysts for the electical charges emitted by the human body. These electrical charges are first started by that first chemical we talked about,  Nitrogen, which is responsible for igniting the spark to send messages via the brain through neurotransmitters to the rest of the body. These messages are sent through the central nervous system of the body through the spine telling the body what to do.  Your spine is not only a skeletal structure of bones to hold you upright and keep you together but it is also a protective covering for the central nervous system made up of veins, arteries and oxygen rich blood to name a few. It is through this central nervous system that the brain sends messages throughout the body via the blood and water. 

]]>

Now what is all this leading up to you may ask? It is leading up to that key chemical in the human body called hydrogen. What about hydrogen. Have you ever heard of the PH balance of the human body. PH stands for Potential of Hydrogen within a mixture. PH balance is measured from 0 to 14, and yes you guessed it 7 is balanced or by some referred to as neutral. If your test shows under 7 you are acidic and over 7 is alkaline. What you want to do is to take your body from being acidic to alkaline because disease cannot co-exist in an alkaline body. Alkaline means more oxygen in the blood and the more oxygen rich your blood is the less chance you have of being sick or contracting a  disease. Disease cannot exist in an alkaline body. So how do I bring my body to be more alkaline you may ask? Good question.

First of all there are many foods that are acidic and many that are alkaline. Tomatoes for example are very acidic and yet pasta without the sauce on it is alkaline.  Before you even attempt to bring your body to being alkaline it is a good rule of thumb to know your blood type and see what foods are good to eat for your blood type. Eating the wrong combination of foods is one of the greatest disease producing venues on the planet today. You may think you are eating a balanced diet yet the wrong combination of foods for your blood type is detrimental to your health. Get on the internet and search foods for certain blood types.

To bring this into perspective let me share with you what happened to me a year ago. Our family had an anniversary I attended at a Mandarin Restaurant ( an all u-can eat buffet ) but as it turns out I overindulged in Shrimp and Prime Rib ( red meat ) and the next day I contracted gout  ( an arthritic disease ) and I could not walk. My big toe was the size of a tennis ball. Gout basically is too much uric acid in the blood caused by the wrong combination of foods taken in simultaneously. Now, I am an O blood type which means I am a meat eater and my body needs more meat as well as lots of fruit and vegetables yet someone who is a B or AB blood type needs to be eating more fruit, vegetables and fish yet less meat.

The wrong combination of foods is why many people have a multitude of problems and get sick.Certain foods taken simultanously can be detrimental to your health. It is good to find out what blood type you are and what foods are good for that blood type. One last thing, you must  bring your body to being more alkaline from acidic by starting to drink more herbal teas and green teas instead of too much coffee. Also start making your own lemonaide with lemons and limes which are good alkaline foods. You will notice a huge difference if you start doing this on a regular basis. Implement good habits like this and good things will follow as far as your health is concerned.

Special Warning stay away from chinese green teas as they still use DDT on their crops in China. DDT ( d ichloro d iphenyl t tichloroethane - which is a synthetic pesticide ) was banned in North America in the 1960′s since it is one of the hightest cancer causing agents on the planet. Green teas from Japan, the U.S., Canada and the United Kingdom is a safe bet.

 Our bodies are made in such a way that they may heal themselves as long as you are injecting the right things into them. Our amazing immune system is made in such a way that it will fight off sickness and disease given the right circumstances and the right chemicals meaning the right nutrients and enzymes necessary for the human body. The four main reasons people get sick is, 1) the  wrong combination of foods taken in simultaneously, 2) chemicals in the air we breathe, 3) chemicals in the food we eat, or 4) a blockage in the body.  That blockage may be in the form of a blocked colon, blocked artery, a pinched nerve or a blocked gland .  Only around 15 % of sicknesses are heredity or from a virus while 85% are a result of these four things. Now having said this I am not one of the only people on this planet that adheres to this theory. Norman Walker who was a Doctor and a Naturopath who lived to be 99 years of age and cured multitudes of people of a myriad of diseases also subscribed to this theory.

Alkaline Acidic Diet Works In 3 Days

You will feel strong, alive, and young if you use the alkaline acidic diet everyday. Turning 30 and feeling old is not unusual since 25 is the age of decline. Before I used the diet, I was pretty healthy back then, but when I turned 32, I felt symptoms that I have never felt before in my life. I felt that my energy was always low and that I get tired easily and I feel ill almost everyday.

It was a case of unusual premature aging. The feeling of aches and pains in my muscles and joints, agitation, dizziness, and a lot more uncomfortable feeling of sickness. It was like living with pain everyday. Soon my fatigue turned chronic and I was feeling all sorts of symptoms from illnesses I don’t even know.

I felt my heart palpitate, I had panic attacks and anxiety attacks that I never had before. I thought it was just the stress, so I tried to drink vitamins, but to no avail. I was very depressed and very stressed, I was feeling suicidal. It was not just physical pain, but also emotional torture because I was unable to live a pain free and fulfilling life.

]]>

It was hard to live the way I wanted to when I was literally feeling sick and tired all the time. I tried to change my lifestyle by exercising everyday and eating a balance diet, but I was not very successful and everything just went back to the way it was. It was hard to eat different foods that you don’t like. It was just not going to be my habit for very long.

My sickness continued and I was even more depressed and stressed. I almost could not function outside of my house. I felt like something inside me was wrong. Later on I found out that it was inside me that was wrong, I was right, I just had to make a move and be informed of what I can do.

So I asked doctors and researched the Internet for an alkaline acidic diet that I can stick to. I found that an alkaline acidic diet is easier to stick to than regular yo-yo diets that never work.

I felt all my symptoms disappear in almost 3 days of doing the alkaline acidic diet. I felt that it was a miracle, but no, alkaline acidic diet is science. The science of balancing the alkaline and acid in our bodies to give us a healthy inner terrain. If you want to be as healthy as I am, you can visit http://acidalkalinediet.org

How to Use a Soda Ash Feeder for Treating Residential Acidic Well Water

Corrosive well water not only ruins copper pipe, plumbing and fixtures, it can also cause heavy metals such as lead, cadmium and copper to contaminate drinking water as the household pipes corrode.

Well water chemistry varies widely between wells and if corrosion is suspected, a simple water test can pinpoint what is making the water corrosive. Acidity in water is expressed by the pH scale, which ranges from 1 to 14. A pH of 7 is considered neutral, with less than 7.0 being acidic and greater than 7.0 being alkaline. In addition to pH, alkalinity, calcium carbonate, total dissolved solids and temperature are measured and can quickly show if acidity is the main cause of the corrosion.

Acidic water is usually caused by dissolved carbon dioxide in rain water, which allows carbonic acid to form. As the rainwater soaks into the ground it ends up as the source for the acidic well water for homeowners. In some cases, mineral acids from mining or naturally occurring mineral acids cause the water to be acidic.

If the water is acidic, or in the range of 4 to 6.8, the water can benefit by having the pH neutralized to a pH of between 7.0 and 7.5. Frequently water that is corrosive is also low in calcium hardness and dissolved solids. This type of water can be made non-corrosive by the simple addition of soda ash. Soda ash, or sodium carbonate, is a non-toxic product that when added to water in the correct dose can raise the pH to 7.0 to 7.5 without making the water harder or affecting the taste or color of the water.

In some cases if there is dissolved iron or manganese in the water, after the pH is raised, the iron and manganese will oxidize and be visible in the water. If the iron is greater than 0.3 ppm and the manganese is greater than 0.05 ppm, a backwashing iron filter should be used after the soda ash is injected.

]]>

Soda ash pump systems automatically inject the soda ash solution into the water when the well pump runs. A small pump called a metering pump is used to inject a small amount of soda ash (sodium carbonate) into the water automatically. For home wells the metering pumps are usually wired to turn on and start pumping soda ash solution when the well pump is energized or running.

For best results, allow a few minutes of contact with the water for pH adjustment to occur and the soda ash solution to thoroughly mix in the water by using a contact tank. However, for many residential applications, the existing pressure tank and piping system is enough to provide some mixing, since the pH is neutralized almost instantly.

Soda ash is bought dry, usually in 25 or 50 lb bags and mixed with soft or pure water in the solution tank. When a saturated solution is achieved (approximately 3 pounds per 5 gallons of water, which creates a 10% solution), a solution of between 50 and 500 ppm are injected, depending on the pH, alkalinity and flow rate of the water.

In some cases, instead of dissolved carbon dioxide causing the low pH or acidity, the acidity is caused by mineral acids, either natural or from mining or other industrial wastes. In this type of water, the pH is less than 4.0 then sodium hydroxide (lye) may need to be used with the same type of pump that is used for soda ash. Soda ash works best to neutralize the pH when the pH is between 4 and 6.8.

Another approach to neutralizing acidic water is by the use of a calcite neutralizer filter. These filters will typically raise the pH of the water to 7.0 to 8.0 and add 30 to 100 ppm of hardness depending on the alkalinity and water hardness. Unlike soda ash feeders, these units do raise the hardness of water. They can have certain advantages over soda ash feeders, if there is sediment in the water, or small amounts of iron, in that they also double as self-cleaning filters.

In neutralizer filters, acidic waters slowly dissolve the calcium and magnesium media on contact as the water flows through the filter, raising the pH of the water and increasing the alkalinity. This eliminates the effects of corrosive water chemistries and can help to prevent corrosion of piping and fixtures.

Neutralizer filter tanks are filled with a blend of calcium and magnesium carbonates made from naturally occurring minerals, which dissolve into the water, making it less corrosive. More mineral can quickly and easily be added to the filter tank, typically once per year for most residential applications. No special tools are required.

Generally soda ash feeders are preferred if the water has a pH of less than 5 or 5.5, whereas calcite neutralizers may work better when the pH is between 5.5 and 6.8.

What Causes Your Body To Be Highly Acidic?

The truth is, to effectively counter the hazards of acidity, the body’s natural detoxifying functions must be kept in optimal condition.

For a body that is excessively acidic, disease will soon follow; and a body that is totally acidic, is as good as dead. Contrary to popular belief and the common premise, there is absolutely NO such thing as a “Natural Death”. The truth is, death is caused by the progression of acid, which overwhelms the body, and ceases it from functioning.

So what are the secret agents which are causing us all these problems?

- Consumption of processed, pre-packed food,
- Sugar rich and carbohydrate rich food(i.e. pasta),

]]>

- Dairy products (i.e. milk, ice cream, and cheese),
- Produce grown with the use of pesticides, preserves, antibiotics, and hormones
- Beef, pork, and poultry
- Alcoholic beverages,
- Synthetic medication and processed iodized table salt

Another contributing factor to acidity is the wide spread and careless emission of pollutants on the environment, which affects ecosystems, drinking water, and the air we breathe in. Chronic stress also causes excess acidity – insufficient sleep, rest, exercise, and changes in lifestyle can cause the body to produce more acid than it normally does. Hence, the cells absorb more and release less toxins, causing malfunctioning colons, skin, kidneys, and lungs.

Maintaining a healthy level of alkalinity in the blood will prevent and neutralize the effects of acidity. A higher level of alkalinity promotes the increase of oxygen in the blood. The high alkalinity in blood, promotes oxidation as the pumping of the heart is optimized. This also allows the cells regenerate faster, and flush out toxins naturally. High alkalinity encourages the efficient absorption of vitamins and nutrients by the cells, which is essential if the body is to slow down the effects of aging. For a much straightforward analogy, a baby’s body is extremely alkaline, and an old timer’s body is extremely acidic.

Natural Remedy for Urinary Tract Infection: How an Acidic Diet Can Cure U.T.I.

Article by Joe Barton

Did you know that Urinary Tract Infections can cause severe body damage including kidney damage and failure? Unfortunately, there will be about 12 million people who develop a urinary tract infection in this year alone. Most will seek expensive medical treatments and millions will cope with the painful symptoms which include: frequent urination; constant need to urinate but with no success; nighttime urination; aches above pelvis; clouded urine; blood in urine; fatigue; vomiting; fever; and chills and night sweats.

These debilitating symptoms can make life miserable. And still, after all of these symptoms, doctors still find people who do not seek any treatment because of embarrassment or costly treatment. Do you or a loved one suffer from a urinary tract infection? If the answer is ‘yes’ we encourage you to seek treatment immediately to avoid severe kidney complications. In fact, a urinary tract infection (UTI) is an ailment with a simple cure. Let me explain.

The Cause of Urinary Tract Infections Can Lead to Cure

Whenever you deal with body wellness it is important to understand the cause of any ailment. If you know the cause then you can understand the cure. So what is the cause of a urinary tract infection?

In most cases, UTIs are the result of bacteria, such as E. coli that make their home in your urinary tract and bladder. This bad bacteria (E. coli) is usually fought off by a healthy immune system. However, E. coli can spread when immunity is lower and a UTI can result. In addition, UTIs (especially urethritis) can result from sexually-transmitted diseases, such as herpes simplex virus, gonorrhea, and Chlamydia.

Knowing these facts can lead to a urinary tract natural cure with no use of medications (with harsh side-effects) or surgery!

An Acidic Diet and Vitamin C lead to Urinary Tract Infection Natural Remedy

It is important to remember that bacteria is growing and multiplying in your urinary tract and bladder. To cure urinary tract infections, you must kill the bacteria from your system and flush it out of your body. In fact, this is what your body was made to do if given the correct means.

By creating a hostile environment for bacteria in the urinary tract you can actually naturally cure urinary tract infections! And just how do you do this? The answer lies in killing bacteria with acidic foods and Vitamin C (also called ascorbic acid). By allowing natural acids to reach the bladder you can actually kill the harmful bacteria in the urinary tract. Also, the Vitamin C will give a boost to a weak immune system (one cause of UTI) allowing your immunity to fight the bacteria.

If you choose to treat your urinary tract infection with a home remedy, it would be important to know how to balance the Ph in your urinary tract. By discovering what alkaline ingredient balances the acidic diet you will be on a sure path to naturally curing your urinary tract infection.

Recent research has discovered by consuming acid foods, flushing the urinary tract, and balancing the acids with an alkaline ingredient; a UTI suffer can actually naturally cure their urinary tract infection in hours. To learn about a guaranteed natural remedy (using acidic foods, Vitamin C and a natural alkaline) that cures urinary tract infections in hours… please check out our website today!

Diabetics…Are acids Eating You Up…High Acidic Foods Can Turn Off The Insulin

Article by Don Penven (Brandywine)

An astounding scientific breakthrough!

Microbiologist and scientist, Dr. Robert O. Young made an astonishing discovery. Conducting research in conjunction with the Johns Hopkins Medical School, Dr. Young was looking for the causes of disease.

Not only did he discover the cause of diabetes, his findings are providing the key to unlocking the real causes of a host of other ailments.

Dr.Young found that the reason the pancreas stops manufacturing insulin that carries glucose to our body cells, and why sometimes the cells refuse to accept the energy-giving glucose, is because of the high acidic content in the blood.

He believes that if we reduce the acid intake from the foods we eat, or neutralize these acids by eating foods with high alkalinity, better health will be the outcome.

These discoveries sent shockwaves through the scientific community. But the major drug companies took little notice. Why? Because the drugs they manufacture for the treatment of myriad illnesses including diabetes are a multi-billion dollar business.

We can’t have people curing themselves by increasing their intake of fruits and vegetables, now can we. The drug companies can’t patent something that grows on bushes and trees.

Numerous sources suggest that green vegetables assist significantly in restoring good health. Many plant foods have a cleansing and alkalizing effect on the body, but processed and refined foods (including fast foods) often increase the levels of acidity and unhealthy toxins. Medical science is slowly beginning to recognize the devastating effects of excess acids in the body, since they appear to be the underlying cause of many diseases.Where a degree of confusion exists is the fact that some foods, like many citrus products and tomatoes are acidic in nature but become alkaline when we eat them. Today many people maintain a diet primarily comprised of acid-forming foods, (i.e. sugar, animal meat, some dairy products, breads, etc.) rather than green plant foods.

While only a very few fruits vegetables are acidic when eaten, most animal meats are.

So is this article suggesting you become a vegetarian? NO WAY! But how many overweight, diabetic vegetarians do you know?

Early on it was stated here that we should reduce acid intake or neutralize acids by balancing them with alkaline foods. Here are a few alkaline foods that may already be in your diet: Asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers, beets, lettuce, collards, spinach and more.

If this article opened your eyes to new and important discoveries, ones your doctor may still not know about, then I urge you to get all the facts available. In order for you to make an informed decision about how to proceed from this moment on, learn all you possibly can. You see, there really is a light at the end of the tunnel.Get more Information HERE!

How To Make Yourself More Acidic When You Want A Girl Ba

Article by Sandy Dean

I often hear from women who desperately want to conceive a girl baby. Many of them realize that they need to make their vaginal tract more acidic in order to have the best chance of having a girl baby. The reason for this is that being acidic greatly diminishes the number of the boy sperm chromosomes (the Y’s) that are able to race for the egg. An acidic environment makes things very difficult for the Y’s which in turn makes things easier for those X’s that produce girl babies.

So while many women understand that they need to be more acidic, many of them are also confused at how to effectively and safely do it. So in the following article, I’m going to offer some tips on how to make your PH more acidic is you’re trying for a girl baby.

Option Number One For Becoming More Acidic
