Acid is Stored in our Fat Cells - Scientific Study

Posted by admin on September 12, 2008
Acid/Alkaline, Ionized Water, Water / No Comments

By Alderin Ordell, MA, based on the IonLife Report : 

Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, Alkalize or Die

“The countless names of ill-nesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause … too much tissue acid waste in the body!” 

Dr. Robert O. Young, The pH Miracle

“We can heal ourselves by changing the environment inside our bodies. Potentially harmful invaders, then, will have nowhere to grow and will become harmless.” 

Storing Acid in our Bodies :

Dr. Lynda Frassetto from the University of California believes that humans, in evolutionary terms, have changed. Once upon a time, our bodies used to break down food and dispose of the acid waste with our kidneys and livers. But now, because of the sheer amount of acid waste the average American produces, she sees our inner bodies being turned into a war zone, where our body is fighting to protect its most strategic reserves — our kidney and liver — from total degradation and failure. 

To prove this theory, Dr. Frassetto studied 1000 people and discovered that we are indeed stockpiling acid waste in our fatty deposits instead of eliminating it with our kidneys and liver. Cholesterol and crystallized uric acid are solidified acids that have been dumped within the body for later disposal, which never comes. Our bodies have made the choice to preserve our kidney and liver instead of processing the acid waste. 

The cost is tremendous — obesity, low energy, and many acid related diseases such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, cancer, and much more. 

When our bodies are excessively acidic, they borrow essential minerals such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium from our vital organs and bones to buffer or neutralize the acid. The result is our bodies suffer from prolonged degradation or corrosion which manifests into these dehabilitating conditions. 

The reason is simple — the average American diet contains way too much acid. Diet coke and other soda is probably the most acidic food people consume at a pH of 2.5. Beer and meat are at 3.5, then there’s diary, white pasta, most water, wine, hard alcohol, nuts and butters, beans, oils — all acidic foods. All produce acid waste in our bodies that they can‘t handle. 

Dr. Robert O. Young agrees with Dr. Frassetto‘s theory. Sugar is an acid and he sees Westerners consumption of sugar as the reason why so many are overweight. The body has to protect itself from the excess sugar, so it creates fat to encase the acid. “Fat,” he says. “Is saving our lives.” 

Then there’s the problem of disease. The stomach works by producing acid to break down food. Whenever this acid is made, alkaline buffers are also created and sent through our blood stream, naturally alkalizing our body. A healthy balanced body has alkaline reserves to battle diseases, infections, and viruses. But if excessive acid must be continuously neutralized or stored, our alkaline reserves will be depleted, leaving our bodies weakened and disease prone.

Acid and Stress :
Acid comes from three sources — food, pollution, and stress. Of these three, stress is the greatest problem. One shot of adrenaline can neutralize and acidify an alkaline diet. So stress management as well as diet management is essential to maintaining an alkaline body. 

The worst case scenario in which many Westerners fit into is where we work 40-50 hour stressful weeks with hardly any breaks to calm ourselves down. We consume fast food and coffee for quick bursts of artificial energy to just get through our work day. Then we come home to family stresses, household chores, bills, and more and never really relax and give our bodies a chance to neutralize all the acid we produced through stress and from eating very acidic foods. 

So acid in our bodies build up until we begin to show symptoms — digestive problems, headaches, overweight, bone pains, elimination issues, muscle tension and pain, heart problems, high blood pressure, and more. 

We spend our lives giving ourselves to our jobs and families and never take the time to nourish our bodies, mind, and soul.

More Effects on Acid on our Body :
Acidity is like rust. We have 96,000 kilometers of veins and arteries, all of which are corroded by acid. If nothing is done, acid interrupts all cellular activities and functions — from our beating heart to the way we think. 

Acid coagulates blood. Blood also can’t flow around fatty acids so capillaries clog up and die. Our skin begins to wrinkle and isn’t as stretchy. Even if you put out the money for a face lift or liposuction, the acid still remains and will do damage. As for our lungs and other organs, all are involved in the maintenance of correct blood pH so if all have to work harder to deal with excessive acid, all will stop functioning a whole lot sooner than we want them to. 

Did you know that if any substance changes from a 7 to an 8 pH, it has become ten times more alkaline? The opposite is also true, if it changes from a 7 pH to a 6, it has become ten times more acidic. 

If our blood pH drops from its optimum level of 7.36 pH to 7 pH, you will lapse into a coma and die. This change represents our body becoming four times more acidic than it should be. In this environment, beneficial microforms will die and aggressive microforms sustained by an acidic environment begin to multiply and mutate, becoming parasitic and pathogenic agents. You would die from poisoning from your own blood. Because of this, our organs are totally subservient to blood pH meaning the body will destroy our organs before it lets our blood pH change too much. 

Coca Cola gives us such a charge not just from the caffeine but because its 2.5 acidity sets of alarms all over our body and stored alkaline reserves are called in to fight the surge of adrenaline. Coca-cola, is 50,000 times more acidic than neutral water and it takes 32 glasses of neutral pH water to balance one glass of soda! The “high” you experience is your body screaming for help while you enjoy the thrill of its fear. 

Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, author of “Alkalize or Die” says, “Too much acidity in the body is like having too little oil in the car. It just grinds to a halt one lazy Sunday afternoon. There you are — stuck. The body does the same thing.”

Your Energy Levels :
Our metabolic process is dependent on balance. Our 75 trillion cells are slightly acidic on the inside, while our outside inner sea should be alkaline. Without this acid/alkaline relationship, no chemical or energy interchange could happen because there isn’t any pH balance. There needs to be polarity between our cells and inner sea or the energy of the cell has difficulty flowing into the surrounding tissues. Thus, we don’t get the energy from the food we eat. In fact if its too acidic, it will make us tired– the opposite process of what we need!
Parasites :
More and more doctors are beginning to understand that disease is caused by an unbalance of nutritional, electrical, structural, toxicological, or biological systems of our body, allowing germs to flourish. Yeast, fungi, viruses, and moulds are all microforms that exist in our bodies. They feed off of glucose, fats, and proteins in our bodies. They deposit their toxic excretions in us, making us even more acidic. 

Disease can only be cured when our blood is maintained and a normal, slightly alkaline level, where these germs can‘t thrive. We need to reestablish balance and work with our bodies, not against them.

Mineral Absorption :
People spend a lot of money on supplements each year — and most of it is wasted. The reason is there are many factors that influence which minerals are absorbed by the body and which aren’t. 

Every mineral has its own signature pH. When you look at a element chart, those at the lower end can be absorbed at a high range of pH. But those at the higher end like need a much smaller pH range to be absorbed. If you body is not balanced it will reject most minerals. 

Iodine, for example, is high on the atomic scale and thus needs near perfect pH for it to be absorbed. Iodine is a requirement for a healthy thyroid. Thyroid deterioration has been linked to arthritis, heart attacks, diabetes, depression, cancer, obesity, and fatigue. 

There has also been a depletion of minerals in our agriculture lands, leading to inadequate mineral supply in our diets. Minerals are important because they determine the conductivity of electricity in our bodies. Our nervous system uses electricity to monitor and report on our organs and subsystems. If our bodies aren’t balanced, our nervous system cannot keep accurate information and our organs and subsystems won‘t get what they need to operate correctly.

Mercury and other Heavy Metals :
The more acidic a body is, the more it holds onto heavy metals such as mercury. Heavy metals create a high oxidative stress that acidifies the body, making it even worse. A recent study of Alzheimers disease identifies mercury as the prime suspect for being the cause. 

The good news is alkaline water has been shown to have an immediate detoxifying effect on the body. People experience the normalizing of bowel movements and classic detoxification symptoms such as itching, body aches, and head aches as the toxins leave their bodies.

Balancing with Alkaline Water and Food :
To achieve balance, health practitioners recommend an 80/20 mix of alkaline and acidic foods. Problem is, most people don’t like and don’t normally eat enough alkaline food such as spinach, broccoli, and silver beets.  

Alkaline water, however, is much easier to adapt to your eating lifestyle. Not only does it help you achieve that 80/20 alkaline to acidic balance, it also hydrates your body as much as three times more effectively than regular water because the water molecule has been reduced. The minerals in the water are negatively charged making them much easier for your body to absorb. Also, alkaline ionized water is full of bound oxygen plus negative hydrogen ions that are nature’s original antioxidant. Then you also have a state of the art nine stage water purifier working for you that will remove 99.9% of most organic and inorganic contaminants. 

Just carry your 4 ounce dropper bottle of Real Water Concentrate around and enjoy glass after glass of ionized, alkaline water while you’re at work or school, and drink a glass in the morning and before bed. 

If you can drink alkaline ionized water while also eating a sensible diet and incorporating alkalizing activities into your lifestyle such as meditation or prayer, your body will balance. 

Sang Wang, scientist, inventer, and drinker of alkaline water for seventeen years says the problem with trying to alkalize with food is that unless you can afford organic, you will metabolize a large amount of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other chemical residue. He adds that if drink too much alkaline water, it will simply pass through the kidneys and flush away any germs that might be there. 

In summary, alkaline ionized water is used by millions of Japanese and Korean families and has been a part of their culture since the 1980’s. Alkaline ionized water is found in hospitals, sanitariums, and clinics throughout these countries.

 The Importance of Water To The Human Body

 

© 2008 - Dr. James Chappell



"Water is the only substance on earth that is naturally present in three different forms - as a liquid, a solid (ice) and as a gas (water vapor)."



It has been said, water is so intelligent, it created humans to move itself around. Water; what is it really and why is it so important?



Pure Water - 

Pure water is merely two molecules of hydrogen gas and one molecule of oxygen gas in liquid form. The ratio of negative to positive ions will determine its acidity or alkalinity. The activity (formerly called concentration) of positive charged hydrogen to the negative charged hydroxide or oxygen bonded hydrogen will determine whether it has a positive or negative ionic charge. This is extremely important which I will discuss in a moment.



Water is a universal solvent. This means it has the ability to detoxify the body at a cellular level. Depending on our activity and environmental temperature, the average adult in the United States loses one half (1/2) gallon of water/fluids per day through perspiration, respiration, urination and defecation. If we don’t replace this amount of water on a daily basis, we slowly dehydrate. The most obvious sign of dehydration is dry, flaky, wrinkled skin. However, a misinterpreted signal of thirst is hunger. Most of us eat when we should be replacing fluids with bio-available water.



Simply, water is so vital; we can only live a few days without it. Matter-of-fact, rapid dehydration causes heart and kidney failure and death. Gradual dehydration leads to a litany of signs, signals and symptoms often mistaken as disease. Proper hydration is so critical; it is the first common denominator in The HONSTEC Syndrome. As you may recall, The HONSTEC Syndrome is seven common denominators anyone of which cause illness. The ‘H’ stands for hydration or lack of it.



Water Quotes - 

"To understand water is to understand the cosmos, the marvels of nature, and life itself."

Masaru Emoto in "The Hidden Messages in Water"



"Water is life’s matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water."

Albert Szent-Gyorgyi



"If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water."

Loran Eisley





During 37 years of research and education, I have come to realize the importance of bio-available substances including water. In the 60’s, we in the health movement said, you are what you eat. In the 70’s, we added you are what you assimilate. Finally, in the 80’s, we said, you are what you eat, assimilate and don’t eliminate. The key is absorption; assimilation or availability. Drinking water has little affect if it is not absorbed at the cellular level, and cellular absorption or bio-availability is determined by its ionic charge.



Ions – 

An ion is an atom or molecule which has lost or gained one or more electrons, giving it a positive or negative electrical charge. A negatively charged ion has more electrons, and is known as an anion. Conversely, a positively charged ion has fewer electrons, and is known as a cation.



"Negative ions increase the flow of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy," says Pierce J. Howard, PhD, author of The Owners Manual for the Brain: Everyday Applications from Mind Brain Research and Director of Research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C.



“Negative ions are created in nature when air molecules separate from sunlight, radiation, and moving air or water such as waterfalls and pounding surf,” says ion researcher Michael Terman, PhD, of Columbia University in New York.



Negative ions are odorless, tasteless molecules that are either breathed into our respiratory system or consumed through our digestive system. High concentrations of air-generated negative ions can be found in nature in mountain forests, waterfalls and beaches. Digestible negative ions are found in certain waters. According to research, consumption from either source usually will cause people to feel energized and invigorated, which helps relieve stress, alleviate depression, and boost energy. High ion concentrations also apparently inhibit bacterial growth and perhaps foster plant growth. The good effects are attributed to high concentrations of negative ions rather than positive ones.



Negative ions are exceedingly beneficial for a person’s metabolism as a means of enhancing human behavior. They act in a complex mechanism to bring about hormone and biochemical reactions in the body and brain. It is impossible to get an overdose of negative ions, which act like pure water in washing away poisons. Generally, the more negative ions you are exposed to, the better and more uplifted you feel.



Positive ions or the lack of negative ions may cause Serotonin Hyper-function Syndrome or "Irritation Syndrome" and involves sleeplessness, irritability, tension, migraine, nausea, heart palpitations, hot flashes with sweating or chills, tremor and dizziness. The elderly become depressed, apathetic and extremely fatigued.



Side-effects from increasing serotonin levels in your body include; anxiety, nervousness, tremors, sweating, dizziness, lightheadedness, dry mouth, upset or irritated stomach, appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach gas, rash and itching. Less common side-effects include changes in sex drive, impotence, abnormal dreams, difficulty concentrating, acne, hair loss, dry skin, chest pains, allergy, runny nose, bronchitis, abnormal heart rhythms, bleeding, blood pressure changes, headaches, fainting when rising suddenly from a sitting position, bone pain, bursitis, twitching, breast pain, fibrocystic disease of the breast, cystitis, urinary pain, double vision, eye or ear pain, conjunctivitis, anemia, swelling, low blood sugar, and low thyroid activity.



Anything that will increase negative ions within a balanced limitation would therefore be a health benefit.



Understanding pH – 

In solutions, including water, in which the activity of positive charged hydrogen (H+) equals that of negative charged hydroxide (OH-), the pH value will be 7.0 and are known as neutral. When the activity of hydrogen exceeds hydroxide, the pH value will be lower than 7.0 and is known as an acid. Solutions in which hydroxide (OH-) activity exceeds hydrogen (H+) will have a pH value greater than 7.0 and are known as bases or alkalines. Therefore, pH is dependent on ionic activity or the ratio of positive charged hydrogen (+) to negative charged hydroxide (-).



All natural foods contain both acid and alkaline forming elements. In some, acid forming elements dominate, in others alkaline forming elements dominate. According to modern biochemistry, it is not the organic matter of foods which leave acid or alkaline residues in the body. The inorganic matter; sulphur, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium and calcium determines the acidity or alkalinity of the body fluids. Food comparatively rich in acid forming elements are acid forming foods, those comparatively rich in alkaline forming elements are alkaline forming foods.



An acidic condition inhibits nerve action, alkalinity stimulates nerve action. One who has a balanced condition can think and act (decide) well. A balanced food plan is a great help in maintaining the pH balance of the blood; however it does not reveal results in a day or two. It takes a longer time to show the effect. Cold showers make the blood alkaline, while hot showers make the blood acid. If the blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body so the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition.



Acid-Alkaline Forming Foods 

Foods may be classified in relation to the metabolic process as acid or alkaline. Alkali’s are soluble salts and acids are corrosive agents which have trouble combining with other things. A balanced diet contains 35% acid forming foods and 65% alkaline.

Highly Alkaline

Beans String, Banana-Speckled, Dandelion greens, Dates, Figs, Prune, Raisins, Chard.

 

High Alkaline

Almonds, Avocado, Banana-Yellow, Bean Fresh, Beet, Blackberries, Carrot, Chives, Cranberries, Endive, Grapes Sour, Kale, Peach dried, Persimmon, Pomegranate, Plum, Raspberries, Spinach.

 

Alkaline

Agar, Alfalfa, Apple & Fresh Apple Cider, Apricot fresh, Artichokes globe, Bamboo shoots, Bean snap, Beans sprouted, Berries most, Blueberries, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Cantaloupe, Cauliflower, Celery, Cherries, Chestnuts, Chicory, Coconut Milk, Collards, Corn fresh and sweet, Cucumbers, Daikon, Eggplant, Escarole, Garlic, Ginger root, Gooseberry, Grapefruit, Guava, Horseradish fresh and raw, Kelp, Kohlrabi, Leek, Lemon and Peel, Lettuce, Lime, Loganberry, Mango, Melons, Milk raw, Acidophilus Yogurt, Whey.

 

Neutral Oils

Cold Pressed, Expeller Pressed, Almond, Avocado, Coconut, Canola, Cottonseed, Linseed, Olive, Safflower, Sesame, Soy, Sunflower, Walnut.

 

Acid

Asparagus, Beans dried, Cashews, Coconut dried, Cranberry Juice and concentrate, Egg yolk, Filbert, Fruit Jellies (Jams Canned, Sulphured, Sugared, Dried), Grapes Sweet, Pasteurized Milk Products, Dry Peas, Pecans, Plums Damson, Tofu fries, Water-chestnuts.

 

Highly Acid

Alcohol, Artichoke root, Barley, Bread, Buckwheat, Caffeine, Coffee, Corn, dry and products, Custards, Drugs, Flour all, Ginger preserved, Honey, Lentil dry, Mate, Millet, Oatmeal, Peanuts, Rice all, Rye Grain, Soy Bread, Soy noodles, Sorghum, grain, Spaghetti and other Pasta, Sugar Cane, raw beet, Tobacco, Walnut (English), Wheat grain.

 





From an extreme acid such as hydrochloric acid (-1.0 pH) to lemon juice (2.4 pH), cola (2.5 pH), orange or apple juice (3.5 pH), tomato juice (4.0 pH), beer (4.5 pH) to coffee and tea (5.0 pH), to pure water (7.0 pH), vegetable juice (average 8.0 to 9.0 pH) to sodium bicarbonate (12.0 to 14.0 pH), all liquids, solids and gases have a pH value. The key is knowing what they are and creating a balance in your life of alkaline or 7.0 and above dominate foods and liquids.



Again, anything that will increase alkalinity within a balanced limitation would therefore be a health benefit.



Testing Real Water Concentrate 

Recently, I had the opportunity to test the pH and the Oxygen Reduction Potential (ORP) or ionic value of a product called Real Water Concentrate for the Real Water Club. Unlike other products using potentially harmful substances to alkalize liquids, Real Water Concentrate uses a proprietary process call E2 Technology™. The only ingredients in Real Water Concentrate are purified water with trace amounts of magnesium and potassium. The E2 Technology™ process energizes the minerals with an abundance of negative ions attaching itself to the water. To my knowledge, there is no technology, company or product that can reproduce this process of ionic energy imprinting.



As a scientist, I have no interest in the outcome of any evaluation. I am merely reporting my observations and results. For five consecutive days, I placed twenty drops of Real Water Concentrate in 8 ounces of distilled water with a pH of 5.0. I tested this water using a Pinpoint pH monitor every 15 minutes for four hours. The average pH was 9.43. At the same time, I also tested this water using a Pinpoint ORP monitor. The pure distilled water had an ORP reading of +200. After infusing the Real Water Concentrate, the reading averaged a (MINUS) -127. In essence, Real Water Concentrate produces a strong alkaline anti-oxidant when mixed in solutions such as water.



Certification/Endorsement - 

In lieu of all the evidence available indicating the health benefits of consuming alkaline substances and anti-oxidants, I believe this additive has extreme health benefits. I therefore certify and gladly endorse this product as producing the results so described and tested. As long as the company continues to produce the same quality product, I will recommend it as a valuable water additive to create alkalinity and increase ones oxygen reduction potential or anti-oxidant level. I suggest you try this product and see what it does for you.



Sincerely,



Dr. James Chappell
