pH Balance

Most people don't understand the importance of increasing their pH. As one whose spouse is a cancer survivor, I'm one who is going to make sure the nasty "C" doesn't come back.

I remember the only things we worried about pH was water and soil. That's not true any more. Your blood is probably the best indicator of your surrounding pH and what you need to do, increase it or decrease it.

One of the things I make my spouse do is take a sufficient amount of anti-oxidants along with alkalizing supplements. Chlorophyll is an alkalizing supplement. So is alfalfa and spirulina.

The best thing to do is stay away from acidic food: tomatoes, oranges, grapefruit, etc. It takes ten times the amount of alkaline to over-ride one times the amount acid, yes, ten to one. That's a pretty drastic ratio. Let's see...one cup of tomato to ten cups of spinach. I don't think so! So, the best thing to do is don't eat the tomato and you won't have the acid. Besides, tomatoes have carbs, which we have to watch. A little is okay, but a lot isn't.

I love tomatoes. A lot of people do. The answer is to watch the amount of acid you eat and make sure you counter act it with enough alkaline.

The best thing to do is to take alkaline drop supplements, drink lots of alkalizing tea, drink "green drinks," or any other way you find that you like that ingesting alkaline or alkaline producing agents.

You can purchase pH strips or paper to test your pH and keep track of your pH level.
