What Causes Me to be Acidic?
By far the most common imbalance seen in our society is over acidity.  The
reason for this is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in
acid-producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in
alkaline-producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid-
producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid-producing
beverages like coffee and soft drinks. We use too many drugs, which are acid-
forming; and we use artificial chemical sweeteners like NutraSweet, Equal, or
aspartame, which are extremely acid-forming. One of the best things we can do
to correct an overly-acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle. Refer to the
recommended reading mentioned below for specific help with diet and lifestyle.

Steps to take if I'm too Acidic?
The following "program" may help to reduce your acidity.  If your urine and/or
saliva pH test is below 6.0, start with steps 1, 2 and 3 below and continue adding
steps until desired results are achieved. Be sure to monitor your progress with
easy-to-use
pH Test Strips:

  1. Enzymes are essential: Take 1-2 capsules of Digestive Enzymes or Garden
    Essence Plant Enzymes with every meal. Also take 1-2 capsules of
    Protease Plus or Protein Digestive Aid and/or Liquid Noni between meals
    on an empty stomach.
  2. Correct easily absorbable magnesium is needed: Take 2 Magnesium
    Complex with each meal which provides highly absorbable magnesium to
    help build necessary buffers. Magnesium is often lost in urine as a
    consequence of too much acid in the body.
  3. Alkaline minerals are essential: Take 1 ounce of either Essential Liquid
    Minerals or Chinese Mineral-Chi Tonic once daily.
  4. Alkalize with Green Food: Take 1 teaspoon of preservative-free Liquid
    Chlorophyll in water up to eight times daily.  Supplementing with
    Greenzone Capsules is highly recommended.
  5. Vitamin A & D hold calcium in the body. Taking NSP's Vitamins A &
    D will help the body buffer acid.
  6. What if my pH is still too acidic? Calcium is abundant in the diet and
    present in most foods, but if you chose to supplement with it, the correct
    type of Calcium must be used for maximum absorption. Use Liquid
    Calcium according to label instructions if saliva pH is 5.8-6.5.  It contains a
    very absorbable Calcium/Magnesium to buffer acid. Children should use it
    too but in a smaller dosage. If your urine and saliva are both over-acid, take
    Synerpro Calcium Magnesium or Herbal CA. Monitor your pH daily.
  7. EFA’s: Use 1 capsule of Flax Seed Oil, Super Omega 3 or Super Oil
    Capsules 3 times a day.
  8. Cleanse as needed: Take a psyllium hulls supplement such as Psyllium
    Hulls Combination  at bedtime to maintain regular bowel movements. Use
    TIAO HE PAK twice a year for liver, bowel and kidney detoxification. Bod-
    E-Klenz is also a great overall body cleanse which has all the essential
    nutrients your body needs to replenish your system.

OTHER HELPFUL HINTS:
  • Eat more alkalizing foods, especially those that contain Calcium,
    Magnesium, Potassium and Chlorophyll.
  • Use Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids.
  • Take Vitamin B12 daily with Probiotics.
  • Drink 8-10 glasses of filtered pure water daily. Add Chlorophyll.
  • Drink 2 oz alkaline juice made with carrots, celery and beets.
  • Alkaline bath soak: 1 cup Epson salts, 1 box baking soda, 10 capsules
    Ginger. Soak for 20 minutes, then rinse.
  • Exercise: any movement is better than no movement.

Get the book! Get a copy of the book Alkalize or Die by Dr. Baroody and
carefully follow his dietary recommendations choosing more foods that are
alkaline-forming and less that are acid-forming. A healthy diet should consist of
80% alkaline-forming foods and 20% acid-forming foods.


What if I'm Overly-Alkaline?       
Alkalinity is relatively rare, but if your urine and/or saliva pH consistently test
above 7.0, then you may need to support your Urinary system and help with
Lymphatic drainage.  Start with steps 1, 2 and 3 below and continue adding steps
until the desired results are achieved. Be sure to monitor your progress with easy-
to-use
pH Test Strips. You will notice that some of these steps are the same as
those recommended above for an overly acidic condition. This is because these
steps have a buffering effect, or in other words they are
balancing, tending to
bring the pH back toward normal no matter which direction it has gone:   

  1. Enzymes are essential: Take 1-2 capsules of Digestive Enzymes or Garden
    Essence Plant Enzymes with every meal. For stronger enzymatic action,
    take 1-2 capsules of PROTEASE PLUS or Protein Digestive Aid and
    Liquid Noni between meals on an empty stomach.
  2. Support urinary and lymphatic systems' ability to excrete toxins: Take
    K Combination and Lym-Mx in water according to directions. Then use  
    KB-C  and Colostrum or Marshmallow to maintain.
  3. Correct calcium is needed: Calcium is abundant in the diet and present in
    most foods, but if you choose to supplement with it, the correct type of
    Calcium must be used for maximum absorption.  Use NSP's Liquid
    Calcium  or for extra support, take Herbal CA daily.
  4. Vitamin C: Use Vitamin C Time Release. Use 3,000 mg or more, to
    maximum bowel tolerance. (If diarrhea occurs, reduce intake.)
  5. EFA’s: Use 1 capsule of Flax Seed Oil  Super Omega 3 or Super Oil
    Capsules 3 times a day.
  6. Cleanse as needed: Take a psyllium hulls supplement such as Psyllium
    Hulls Combination at bedtime to maintain regular bowel movements. Use
    TIAO HE PAK twice a year for liver, bowel and kidney detoxification. Bod-
    E-Klenz is also a great overall body cleanse which has all the essential
    nutrients your body needs to replenish your system.

OTHER HELPFUL HINTS:
  • Eat more acid-forming foods, especially those that contain: Phosphorus,
    Sulfur and Potassium.
  • Eat lots of high-fiber foods with Probiotics.
  • It may be necessary to avoid red meats, cheese, nuts and nut butters
    depending on your digestive ability and blood type.
  • Take Vitamin B12 with Probiotics.
  • Drink 8-10 glasses of filtered pure water daily.
  • Soak in the bath and try dry skin brushing: 1 cup Epsom salts and 10
    capsules Ginger. Soak for 20 minutes. Then rinse.
  • Practice deep breathing.
  • For Urinary System support, use Cranberry/Buchu Concentrate as needed.
