The Acid Nicotine In Tabacco and Chewing Gums Posion White Blood Cells

The acid nicotine, a component of tobacco smoke and
chewing gums, can make the body more prone to
out-fections and inflammation, a research team
has found.

The study, published in Cell Biology, was led by David
Scott, a University of Louisville oral health researcher.

Scott's team found that nicotine affects the production
of one type of white blood cells, one of the body's
primary defenses against infection and dis-ease. White
blood cells are produced out of red blood cells and body
cells and the cells mobilize in the bloodstream to
maintain cleanliness in the blood plasma and interstial
fluids of bacteria and yeast. The researchers learned
that white bllod cells tainted with nicotine were less
able to mobilize in order to collect bacteria and yeast
than white blood cells not exposed to the acid nicotine.

The researchers determined that the acid nicotine
suppresses an important cell function that helps mediate
bacteria and yeast and, at the same time, increases levels
of exotoxins and myctotoxins (acidic waste products from
bacteria and yeast) that promote the biological
transformation of healthy body cells and tissues.

"Both of these findings partially explain chronic tobacco
users' increased susceptibility to bacterial infection
and inflammatory diseases," said Scott.

Although nicotine has been known to affect the immune
response, this is the first study to examine how
nicotine affects production of bacteria-collecting cells
in the bone marrow and their mobilization into the
bloodstream.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist
at the pH Miracle Living Center, "the acid nicotine
from tobacco or nicotine chewing gums will poison and
paralyze the white blood cells for up to five hours.
When white blood cells are poisoned and paralyzed they
cannot perform their normal activity of helping to
maintain fluid purity and alkalinity. This can then
cause increased acidic cellular debris in the body
fluids causing blood and lymphatic congestion leading
to poor circulation, light headedness, dizziness,
cold hands, cold feet, irritation, and inflammation.
If the white cells are suppressed on a regular basis
by continued use of nicotine containing products
this may lead to more serious acidic symptomologies
such as ulceration and degeneration of the tissues and
organs leading to heart dis-ease and cancerous conditions."

Pine Bark Reduces Inflammation and Pain

More than 20 million Americans suffer from
osteoarthritis, with half a million Americans
having a total joint replacement each year.
A new study to be published in the April 2008
edition (Volume 22, issue No 4) of the journal
of Phytotherapy Research shows Pycnogenol
(pic-noj-en-all), an antioxidant plant extract
from the bark of the French maritime pine tree,
was shown to reduce all osteoarthritis symptoms
by 56 percent. The study revealed a particularly
high efficacy of Pycnogenol for lowering joint
pain by 55 percent. Moreover, patients required
dramatically less standard pain medication
(-58 percent), which greatly improved the
gastrointestinal complications resulting from
the pain medication by 63 percent.

"Pycnogenol seemed a natural fit for this study,"
said Dr. Gianni Belcaro, a lead researcher of
the study. "There are a few main components
contributing to the clinical picture of treatment
management in osteoarthritis: dietary and metabolic
acids that cause inflammation, is expressed in an
alteration of fatigue resistance and muscular
performance -- reversing and blocking the vascular
problems associated to altered mobility. Theoretically,
a treatment with a compound specifically active on
all those aspects could be highly effective, which
is why we chose Pycnogenol."

The randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled
study, held at Italy's Chieti-Pescara University,
sampled 156 patients with osteoarthritis of the
knee (OA). Patients were administered 100 mg
Pycnogenol or placebo, daily for three months.
Symptoms were evaluated by WOMAC index scores
and mobility by recording their walking
performance on a treadmill. Patients were
permitted to continue taking their choice
of pain medication provided they recorded
every tablet in a diary for later evaluation.

After three months, scores for acidic pain
dropped significantly for the Pycnogenol treatment
group and no significant effects were recorded
for the placebo group. Scores for acidic stiffness
were reduced by 53 percent. The scores for
physical function were reduced by 57 percent
in the Pycnogenol group and improvement under
placebo was not significant. The global WOMAC
score decreased following Pycnogenol treatment
and very little in the placebo group, from 56
percent vs. 9.6 percent for Pycnogenol and placebo,
respectively. Overall well-being of patients
(emotional function) was significantly enhanced
with the Pycnogenol group, by 64 percent and 15
percent for the placebo group.

Results of exercise tests on the treadmill
demonstrated an increased performance after
three months of Pycnogenol treatment. At the
start of the study, patients could only walk
a mean of 74 yards without feeling pain and
after three months, they could walk 216 yards,
compared to the placebo group that noted 71
yards at the beginning of the study and 96 yards
at the end.

Patients were allowed to use their regular
dosage of NSAIDS. Usage dropped by 58 percent
during treatment with Pycnogenol and one
percent with the placebo. Evaluation of data
demonstrated a decrease of gastrointestinal
complications of 64 percent in the Pycnogenol
group versus three percent in placebo.

"The results of this study are significant as
they clearly demonstrate the clinical action
of Pycnogenol on OA and management of symptoms.
The use of Pycnogenol many reduce costs and
side effects of anti-inflammatory agents
and offer a natural alternative solution to
people suffering from OA" said Dr. Belcaro.

Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the
pH Miracle Living center states, "Pycnogenol is
one of many powerful antioxidants that will reduce
the pain associated with dietary and metabolic acids
and other symptoms of osteoarthritis. It's high
concentration of proanthocyanadins, a member of the
bioflavonoid family, is the natural active ingredient
that helps to mediate environmental, dietary and
metabolic acids that causes inflammation and pain in
the connective tissue, bones and muscles."

The Key To Preventing and/or Reversing Bone Loss

Women who have used Fosamax are nearly twice as
likely to develop the most common kind of
chronically irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation)
than are those who have never used it, according to
research from Group Health and the University of
Washington published in the April 28 Archives of
Internal Medicine.

Merck markets Fosamax, the most widely used drug
treatment for the bone-thinning disease osteoporosis,
explained study leader Susan Heckbert, MD, PhD, MPH,
a professor of epidemiology and scientific investigator
in the Cardiovascular Health Research Unit at the
University of Washington. The Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) approved the first generic
versions (called alendronate) in February.

“We studied more than 700 female Group Health
patients whose atrial fibrillation was first
detected during a three-year period,” said
Dr. Heckbert. She and her colleagues compared
those women to over 900 randomly selected female
Group Health members matched on age and high blood
pressure to serve as controls.

“Having ever used alendronate was associated with
an 86 percent higher risk of newly detected atrial
fibrillation compared with never having used the
drug,” said Dr. Heckbert, who is also an affiliate
investigator at the Group Health Center for Health
Studies.

Osteoporosis mostly affects older women and can set
the stage for fractures that can impair the quality
of their lives, said Dr. Heckbert. “Careful judgment
is required to weigh the risks and benefits of any
medication for any individual patient,” she added.
“For most women at high risk of fracture, alendronate’s
benefit of reducing fractures will outweigh the risk
of atrial fibrillation.”

However, said Dr. Heckbert, “women who are at high
risk of fractures but also have risk factors for
atrial fibrillation — such as heart failure, diabetes,
or coronary disease — might want to discuss alternatives
to alendronate with their health care providers.”
Other medications that can lower the risk of fractures
include estrogen, she said. But the Women’s Health
Initiative, on which she has also served as an
investigator, showed other heart risks from hormone
therapy combining estrogen with progesterone.

The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funds
Dr. Heckbert’s Atrial Fibrillation Study, which
collects data on all Group Health patients as they
are first diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. The
study aims to find new factors that raise the risk
of developing this quivering of the heart’s upper
chambers (atria).

About one in 100 people — and nearly nine in 100
people over age 80 — have atrial fibrillation, said
Dr. Heckbert. In many cases, atrial fibrillation has
no symptoms, and it isn’t necessarily life threatening.
But it can cause palpitations, fainting, fatigue,
or congestive heart failure.

Atrial fibrillation can also make blood pool — and
sometimes clot — in the atria, said Dr. Heckbert.
When parts of clots break off and leave the atria,
they can lead to embolic strokes, as happens in
over 70,000 Americans a year. That’s why atrial
fibrillation is often treated unfortunately with
the acidic anticoagulant warfarin. Other results
from her study have suggested that maintaining a
healthy alkaline body weight may help protect
people from atrial fibrillation.

“This study will help medical teams better inform
their patients about the risks associated with Fosamax,
helping us make the best treatment decisions for
managing osteoporosis,” commented Christine Himes
Fordyce, MD, a Group Health family practitioner.
“Now with this increased understanding of potential
irregular heartbeats, both physicians and their
patients should be alert to any problems, report
them immediately, and treat them appropriately.”

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at The pH Miracle Living Center,
"osteoporosis is caused by dietary and metabolic
acids. The body with waste calcium from the
bones to buffer the acids not eliminated
through urination or defecation. Bone loss
is the evidence of an over-acidic body from
an inverted way of living, eating and thinking.
The key to preventing or reversing bone loss
is to alkalize and exercise."

Mercury in Drugs and Environment Linked To Autism

How do mercury emissions affect pregnant mothers,
the unborn and toddlers? Do the level of emissions
impact autism rates? Does it matter whether a
mercury-emitting source is 10 miles away from
families versus 20 miles? Is the risk of autism
greater for children who live closer to the
pollution source?

A newly published study of Texas school district
data and industrial mercury-release data, conducted
by researchers at The University of Texas Health
Science Center at San Antonio, indeed shows a
statistically significant link between pounds of
industrial release of mercury and increased autism
rates. It also shows -- for the first time in
scientific literature -- a statistically significant
association between autism risk and distance from
the mercury source.

"This is not a definitive study, but just one more
that furthers the association between environmental
mercury and autism," said lead author Raymond F.
Palmer, Ph.D., associate professor of family and
community medicine at the UT Health Science Center
San Antonio. The article is in the journal Health
& Place.

Dr. Palmer, Stephen Blanchard, Ph.D., of Our Lady
of the Lake University in San Antonio and Robert
Wood of the UT Health Science Center found that
community autism prevalence is reduced by 1 percent
to 2 percent with each 10 miles of distance from
the pollution source.

"This study was not designed to understand which
individuals in the population are at risk due to
mercury exposure," Dr. Palmer said. "However, it
does suggest generally that there is greater autism
risk closer to the polluting source."

"The study should encourage further investigations
designed to determine the multiple routes of
mercury exposure, including the many childhood
vaccinations that contain over 25 mcg. of mercury,
states Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at
The pH Miracle Living Center.

"The effects of persistent, low-dose exposure to
mercury pollution, in addition to fish consumption,
deserve attention," Dr. Palmer said. "Ultimately,
we will want to know who in the general population
is at greatest risk based on genetic susceptibilities
such as subtle deficits in the ability to detoxify
heavy metals."

"We suspect low-dose exposures to various environmental
toxicants, including mercury, that occur during critical
windows of neural development among genetically
susceptible children may increase the risk for
developmental disorders such as autism," the authors
wrote.

Study highlights:

* Mercury-release data examined were from 39
coal-fired power plants and 56 industrial facilities
in Texas.

* Autism rates examined were from 1,040 Texas school
districts.

* For every 1,000 pounds of mercury released by all
industrial sources in Texas into the environment
in 1998, there was a corresponding 2.6 percent
increase in autism rates in the Texas school
districts in 2002.

* For every 1,000 pounds of mercury released by
Texas power plants in 1998, there was a corresponding
3.7 percent increase in autism rates in Texas school
districts in 2002.

* Autism prevalence diminished 1 percent to 2 percent
for every 10 miles from the source.

* Mercury exposure through fish consumption is well
documented, but very little is known about exposure
routes through air and ground water.

* There is evidence that children and other developing
organisms are more susceptible to neurobiological
effects of mercury.

"We need to be concerned about global mercury emissions
since a substantial proportion of mercury releases
are spread around the world by long-range air and
ocean currents," Dr. Palmer said. "Steps for
controlling and eliminating mercury pollution on
a worldwide basis may be advantageous. This entails
greener, non-mercury-polluting technologies."

Dr. Young states, "mercury is a major acidic
contributor to the body, especially the brain. A baby
would receive 25 µg of mercury in a single 0.5 ml
vaccination does of DPT which is 25 times greater then
the daily allowance of 1.0 µg for a baby that weighs
6 pounds."

"If 8 doses of thimerosal-containing vaccine were
given in the first 6 months of life (3 DPT, 2 HIB
and 3 Hepatitis B) the 200 µg of mercury given,
say an average size of 12 lbs would be about 87 times
greater the the daily allowance of 2.3 µg of mercury
for a baby of that size."

"There is no question in my mind that mercury or
thimerosal contained in many childhood vaccinations
and drugs is a primary contributor to autism in
children and should be avoided at all cost. The mercury
poisoning risk is far greater then the illusionary benefit
of the vaccination."

"There is no scientific proof of the safety
or the effectiveness of drugs and vaccinations.
According to the journal, BMJ Clinical Evidence,
about 2,500 drug treatments offered in
conventional medicine produce the following
results:

1) 13 percent are beneficial to the patient

2) 23 percent are likely to be beneficial

3) 8 percent is a trade-off between benefits
and harm

4) 6 percent are unlikely to be beneficial

5) 4 percent are likely to be ineffective or
harmful, and

6) 46 percent have unknown effectiveness.

There is a 64% risk that the drug or the vaccine
treatment you or your child receive will cause harm,
will be ineffective or may have unknown side-effects."

"The safe and effective way to have health, energy
and vitality is to simply maintain the alkaline
design of the body with an alkaline lifestyle and
diet."

"Health is all about maintaining the delicate alkaline
pH of the blood and tissues," states Dr. Young.

The Truth About Weight Loss and Weight Gain

The U.S. SURGEON GENERAL REPORTS:

"Obesity is now the number one reversible
cause of death in the United States."

Discover the missing link to weight loss and
KEEPING IT OFF!

The pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet is the "New
Biology" that is giving people a unique system
that has never been available before.

THE RESULTS ARE IMMEDIATE AND REAL.

Obesity has become such an epidemic that for
the first time in recent history researchers
are predicting that children may have a shorter
lifespan than adults.

* In the United States alone, more than 64% of
adults are overweight or obese.

* Nearly 30% of Americans have 20 or more pounds
to lose.

* Nearly one third of American children under 18
are overweight.

* Nine million people in the United States have
more than 100 pounds to lose.

THE WORLD NEEDS AN ANSWER TO THIS EPIDEMIC AND
THE pH MIRACLE LIFESTYLE AND DIET IS THAT ANSWER!

I am happy to announce the re-introduction of our
pH Miracle Nutritional and Supplement line for Weight
Loss and Weight Gain.

They include the following pH Miracle supplements:

1) Core Cleanse: for cleansing the alimentary canal.

Product Facts:

Core Cleanse - 90 capsules
Price: 34.95

Description: Because the gastrointestinal system can
too easily become overrun with positively charged
acids, cleansing and alkalizing becomes necessary.
Magnesium Oxide and Sodium Carbonate are negatively
charged and very alkaline. Thus, they can help soak
up harmful acids found throughout the digestive
system.

Over-acidification in the gastrointestinal tract
also makes it subject to the burden of mucous, a
binder of acids. This can cause congestion and
inflammation. The mucilage effect of Marshmallow
and Slippery Elm can soothe and protect tissues
inflamed by mucous, especially mucous membranes.
Furthermore, mucilage can decrease bowel congestion
by replacing mucous as an acid binder.

Another problem often encountered in the intestine
is the presence of undigested protein. Vitamin C
(Ascorbic Acid) plays a vital role in removing those
stingy proteins. In most cases acids should be avoided,
but it is the acidic nature of Vitamin C that gives
it the ability to soften and loosen protein and
other matter that has remained in the bowel. This
allows the opportunity to rid the body of undigested
food that may have been stagnant in the bowel for
any prolonged period of time.

The removal of acids, mucous and undigested food is
facilitated by Yellow Dock and Ginger. The properties
of Yellow Dock give it the effect of a mild laxative.
It also stimulates proper digestion and bile production.
Among its other benefits, Ginger is an effective
gastrointestinal aid; its aromatic compounds improve
circulation and normalize proper tone and reflex
faculty to the gastrointestinal tract. This balances
peristalsis, the wave-like muscle contractions of
the intestine that move contents through the digestive
tract. The end result is a cleansed and optimized
digestive system.

Ingredients:
Magnesium Oxide (MgO)
Sodium Carbonate (NaCO³)
Vitamin C
Others: Slippery Elm, Ginger, Marshmallow,
Yellow Dock

Suggested Use:
Adults: 4 capsules, 3 times/day with meals, and
once before sleep with 16oz alkaline pH Miracle
water.

2) Terra Cleanse: for adsorbing and absorbing dietary
and metabolic acids. Especially effective for buffering
hydrochloric acid in the stomach.

Product Facts:

Terra Cleanse - 454 grams
Price: 49.50

Description: Terra cleanse is Montmorillonite Clay,
named after the location of the deposit where it
was first identified - near Montmorillon, France.
This clay provides an impressive assortment of
alkalizing minerals, including calcium, iron,
magnesium, potassium, manganese, sodium, sulfur,
and silica. Furthermore, these minerals in clay
exist in natural proportion to one another, so
they are more easily and thoroughly absorbed by
the body. The minerals in this clay are also highly
negatively charged - full of electrons that absorb,
adsorb, and eliminate many positively charged toxins
in the body. In fact, this clay can absorb and
adsorb many times it weight in acids, holding them
until your body can safely eliminate them. Terra
Cleanse is truly the earths natural acid absorber/adsorber
and can be used to neutralize over acidity internally
(digestive tract) as well as externally (skin).
Montmorillonite Clay provides a range of benefits
including improved digestion and elimination,
better circulation, higher quality sleep,
increased energy, decreased emotional abnormality,
stronger immune system, weight loss, balanced
sugar level, and more.

Ingredients:
100% Natural Sodium Montmorillonite Clay

Suggested Use:
Internal: 1tsp/liter, 3-4 times/day

External: As a facial mask, mix clay with water
to create a paste and then apply a thin layer to
entire face and neck. Allow mask to almost dry,
then remove with a wet cloth. Rinse with warm
water splashes until no trace of mask remains.
For bites or stings mix clay with water to make
a paste, then apply directly to skin for a drawing
effect. Rinse before clay is completely dried.
For cooling, soothing effect on burns, scrapes,
and bruises gently apply mixture to affected area,
cover with a wet cloth so clay does not dry. Rinse
until no trace of clay remains or remove with a wet
wash cloth.

3) CLA Boost: for reducing stored acidic body fat.

CLA Boost - 90 capsules
Price: 51

Description: CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is a
form of LA (Linoleic Acid). As an Essential Fatty
Acid (EFA), CLA is an Omega-6 possessing the
properties of other good fats. Like other EFAs,
CLA is scientifically known as an acid because
of the positively charged hydrogen at the tail
of the fat chain. However, it is not harmful.
Its remaining structure is mostly unsaturated -
not saturated with hydrogen - giving it the ability
to "soak up" harmful acids. As these acids are
assimilated by CLA, the body can stop creating
and storing fat to buffer the acid. Scientific
studies confirm that CLA has the ability to reduce
body fat and promote the use of stored fat for
energy. Specifically, it can decrease the amount
of fat stored after eating, while increasing fat
metabolism; while some foods may metabolize into
acid, CLA can absorb the acid before the body needs
to produce fat to store it in. Thus, CLA can
play a vital role in the prevention and removal
of unwanted body fat.

Ingredients:
CLA

Suggested Use:
Adults: 3-6 capsules, 3 times/day

4) L-Carnitine: for energy and building muscle.

L-Carnitine - 90 capsules
Price: 39.95

Description: L-Carnitine is an amino acid that
occurs naturally in the body. However, because
it is often deficient in the body, taking
L-Carnitine as a supplement becomes necessary.
Simply put, it burns fat. Its job is to bind to
fatty acids and transport them to the mitochondria-
your cells' power stations - to be used as fuel.
Thus, fat that would have been stored on the body
is instead burned. Thus, L-Carnitine effectively
promotes weight loss, increased energy, lower
cholesterol, decreased cravings, and balanced blood
sugar and blood pressure. Also, because it is an
amino acid, L-Carnitine aids in building lean
muscle mass.

Ingredients:
L-Carnitine

Suggested Use:
Adults - 1 capsule, 3 times/day

5) HCA Plus: To curb appetite, sugar cravings and cut
acidic body fat storage.

HCA Plus - 90 capsules
Price: 39.95

Description: Combines HCA, Chromium, and L-Tyrosine
to curb appetite, reduce sugar cravings and cut body
fat storage. HCA (Hydroxic citric acid) is an herbal
extract of the fruit of the Garcinia Cambogie plant.
A portion of the molecular structure of HCA categorizes
it as an acid. However, because of its abundance in
calcium salt, HCA is alkaline. This allows HCA the
ability to reduce body fat by reducing excess acidity,
thus inhibiting lypogenesis - the process by which
the body produces and stores fat used to bind acid.
Overall, HCA can help cut body fat storage by 75%.
As the acid and fat decrease, energy once used to
neutralize acidity is converted to energy for the
body. Cravings produced by acid overgrowth will also
diminish, curbing over-active appetites. The mineral
chromium is a co-factor that facilitates the binding
of insulin to glucose. Without this binding effect,
the energy from glucose will not be released because
the sugar is not properly metabolized. The sugar then
ferments into acid and stores itself in body fat.
When the body has sufficient amounts of chromium,
sugar is burned properly, blood sugar and body weight
balances, and sugar/carbohydrate cravings subside.
Unfortunately, chromium is not easily accessible
in most diets, nor does it assimilate well in many
forms. Hence, it becomes important to get it from a
reliable source. The amino acid L-Tyrosine is a
precursor for three major neurotransmitters,
generally out of balance in an overweight person.
L-Tyrosine helps the neurotransmitters signal the
brain to turn off the appetite. This will regulate
food intake, balancing metabolic rate and body fat
content.

Ingredients:
Chromium Picolinate
Chromium Polynicoinate
Garcinia Cambogia Standardized Extract
L-Tyrosine

Suggested Use:
Adults: 1-2 capsules, 30-60 minutes prior to meals,
3 times/day

Reference:
pH Miracle for Weight Loss ch9, pg143-147

6) Doc Broc Power Plants: for providing the
phyto-nutrients and anti-oxidants that the body
needs to stay healthy and strong.

Ingredients:
Fruits
Vegetables
Grasses

Suggested Use: 1-2 capsules, with meals or 1 to 2
scoops of Doc Broc Power Plants Powder mixed in
your food or avocado shake or alkaline water.

Vitamin D Helps To Prevent Cancerous Breasts and Tumor Formation

A connection between vitamin D level and the risk
of developing cancerous breasts has been implicated
for a long time, but its clinical relevance had not
yet been proven. Sascha Abbas and colleagues from
the working group headed by Dr. Jenny Chang-Claude
at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches
Krebsforschungszentrum, DKFZ), collaborating
with researchers of the University Hospitals
in Hamburg-Eppendorf, have now obtained clear
results:

While previous studies had concentrated chiefly
on nutritional vitamin D, the researchers have
now investigated the complete vitamin D status.
To this end, they studied 25-hydroxyvitamin D
(25(OH)D) as a marker for both endogenous
vitamin D and vitamin D from food intake.

The result of the study involving 1,394 cancerous
breast patients and an equal number of healthy
women after menopause was surprisingly clear:

Women with a very low blood level of 25(OH)D have
a considerably increased risk for cancerous breasts.
The effect was found to be strongest in women who
were not taking acidic cancerous causing hormones
for relief of menopausal symptoms. However, the
authors note that, in this retrospective study,
diagnosis-related factors such as chemotherapy or
lack of sunlight after prolonged hospital stays
might have contributed to low vitamin levels of
breast cancer patients.

In addition, the investigators focused on the
vitamin D receptor. The gene of this receptor is
found in several variants known as polymorphisms.
The research team of the DKFZ and Eppendorf
Hospitals investigated the effect of four of
these polymorphisms on the risk of developing
cancerous breasts. They found out that carriers
of the Taql polymorphism have a slightly increased
risk of cancerous acidic tumors that carry receptors
for the female acidic sex hormone estrogen on their
surface. No effects on the overall breast cancer
risk were found. A possible explanation offered
by the authors is that vitamin D can exert its
cancerous-preventing effect by counteracting the
growth-promoting effect of the acidic estrogens.

Besides its cancerous-preventing influence with
effects on cell growth, cell differentiation and
programmed cell death (apoptosis), vitamin D
regulates, above all, the calcium metabolism in
our body. Foods that are particularly rich in
vitamin D include cod liver oil, green fruits
and veggies. However, the largest portion of
vitamin D is produced by our own body with the
aid of sunlight.

Magnesium May Help Maintain The Alkaline Design of the Body and Prevent Body Stones

A diet rich in magnesium appears to reduce
the risk developing painful gallstones,
according to findings from a US study.

Consumption of magnesium has been declining
over the years, due in part to the overprocessing
of foods, Dr. Chung-Jyi Tsai and associates note
in their report in the American Journal of
Gastroenterology.

Magnesium deficiency is known to raise
triglyceride levels and decrease HDL ("good")
cholesterol levels in the blood, both of which
may increase the risk of developing gallstones.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center,
"magnesium is a major alkaline buffer of
dietary and metabolic acids, which can cause
brain stones, breast stones, liver stones
and gallbladder stones. When we increase
magnesium the body can better regulate
fluid pH, temperature and oxidative
reduction potential. It is also important
to understand that all stones, wherever they
may appear in the body are nothing more then
dietary and/or metabolic acids that have
been chelated or buffered with alkaline
mineral salts in protecting and preserving
the delicate alkaline design of the body."

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/pHourSalts.htm

To investigate, Tsai, from the University of
Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, and
colleagues analyzed data from 42,705 men,
between 40 and 75 years of age, who were
enrolled in the Health Professionals Follow-up
Study. The men were followed from 1986 to 2002.

The subjects were surveyed every 2 years to
assess the occurrence of new illnesses,
including gallbladder dis-ease. Magnesium
consumption was determined with a semiquantitative
food frequency questionnaire sent to the participants
every 4 years.

During follow-up, 2195 men were diagnosed with
acidic gallstones, the researchers found.

Compared with the lowest level of total magnesium
intake, the highest intake reduced the risk of
acidic galltones by 33 percent. The same risk
reduction was seen when considering just dietary
magnesium, when supplements were excluded.

"From many studies by this group and others, it
appears that a generally healthy dietary pattern,
with more plant-based foods, fiber, and increasing
complex carbohydrates, and now increasing magnesium
intake will decrease the risk of symptomatic
gallstones," Dr. Cynthia W. Ko, from the University
of Washington in Seattle, writes in an accompanying
editorial. "This 'healthy' alkaline dietary pattern
will also help in prevention of other chronic
dis-eases in addition to gallstones."

No More Alzheimer's Dis-Ease

By the numbers:

5.2 million Americans have Alzheimer's
dis-ease now.
7.7 million Americans will have it by 2030.
71,696 Deaths from Alzheimer's in 2005.

This week an article, ATTACKING ALZHEIMER'S, in FORBES
Magazine may support Dr. Young's dietary and metabolic
acid theory, as the cause of Alzheimer's dis-ease.

The article makes a statement that the release of
amyloids in the brain may be an injury response
by the vascular bundles to protect themselves against
dietary or metabolic acids, like a scar, and are not
directly related to the onset or severity of
Alzheimer's dis-ease.

Dr. Robert O. Young has suggested that gene mutations
are directly caused by excess dietary and metabolic
acids. He has also suggested that arteries and
veins are directly damaged by excess dietary and
metabolic acids. Both the article's assertions,

(a) DNA damage to two proteins called presenilin,
and

(b) amyloids actually being a response to injury
that the brain secretes to protect itself, like a scar,
would be directly preventable by normalizing the excess
serum dietary and metabolic acids, coupled with a
high chlorphyll-mediated revitalization of blood/sera
genesis.

This is why Dr. Young has created a cold pressed
concentration of organic liquid pure chlorophyll
from alfalfa grass, with no additives, for the
revitalization of the blood/ sera. (Dr. Young's,
Young pHorever Liquid Chlorophyll can be ordered
by calling 760-751-8321)

Dr. Young has also created a combination of mineral
salts of sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium
bicarbonate to hyper-alkalinize the blood and tissues
to reduce dietary and metabolic acids and to prevent
Alzheimer's dis-ease.

on one theory about the disease. What if that

No More Plantar Fasciitis

The foot is the part of the body critical for
maintaining function, balance and coordination
while walking. However, thousands of Americans
step out of bed every morning with an excruciating
throbbing sensation in the foot and heel, affecting
their quality of life. For many, plantar fasciitis
has become a "real acidic pain."

Plantar "acidic" 0fasciitis is one of the most
frequently seen conditions by foot and ankle
orthopaedic surgeons. It is an overuse injury
affecting a band of tissue (fasciia), which
supports the arch and extends from the heel to
the toes. Simply, it is an inflammatory, stage
4 acidic "wear and tear" of a tissue within
the foot.

"This is a very common problem in the adult
population," said Steven Ross, MD, clinical
professor in the Department of Orthopaedic
Surgery at the University of California, Irvine,
and President of the American Orthopaedic Foot
and Ankle Society (AOFAS). "This repetitive strain
injury affects all walks of life, people both very
active and even sedentary, but may most frequently
be seen in middle-aged, overweight women."

The problem with plantar "acidic" fasciitis is
twofold:

1) Physicians cannot directly pinpoint what triggers
the pain in the first place because they do not
understand the acid theory and how lifestyle, diet
and metabolic acids breakdown connective tissues.

2) Nor can they prescribe medication or surgically
go in and bring the fasciia "back to life"
instantaneously because the problem is not with
the tissues directly but the acidic lifestyle, diet
and metabolism that is effecting the tissues.

"I have seen patients ranging from marathon runners
to those who sit behind a desk for 12 hours a day,"
Dr. Ross added. "We know the cause of the pain may
be attributed to repetitive strain, but the threshold
for symptoms is highly variable. This occurs in
patients with both high and low arches and is just
not a predictable ailment, and there are not many
things people can do to prevent it."

Patients living with plantar "acidic" fasciitis have
several options, including but not limited to:

1) Non-operative treatment -- foot and toe exercises,
foot massage techniques, muscle and tendon stretching,
sodium bicarbonate injections, clay packs and
hydrating with mineral salts of bicarbonate all help
to reduce acids that effect the plantar fasciica.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/pHourSalts.htm

2) Partial plantar fasciectomy -- a surgical procedure
that takes the strain out of the fasciia so that it
heals but transfers the strain to other areas of the
foot. This option deals with the symptom and not the
cause of the symptom - acidity. So it is not
recommended.

3) Shockwave therapy -- machine-induced electrical
therapy that stimulates new tissue formation as
blood flows to the area to become the new tissue.

4) Gastrocnemius recession -- a more controversial,
newer procedure that correlates the pain in the
plantar "acidic" fasciia to tightness in the calf.
The surgery releases the calf tightness, aiming to
decrease the strain in the fasciia. This procedure
is not recommended because it does not deal with
the cause of the condition - acidity.

5) Soaking the feet for 30 minutes every day in
ionized acidic water. The positively charged acidic
water causes the negatively charged blood to flow
to the feet for new tissue formation and acid
removal.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/ionizer5000.htm

6) Wearing ionized foot pads over night to remove
dietary and/or metabolic acids from the connective
tissues and thus providing pain relief.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/accupeds.htm

7) Change of lifestyle and diet to the alkaline pH
Miracle Living diet to help reduce dietary and
metabolic acidity.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/books.htm

8) Spraying the pHlavor mineral salt on the bottom
of the feet 2 to 3 times a day to buffer acidity
and to increase blood circulation to the
plantar fasciia.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phlavor.htm

9) Whole body vibrational exercising for ten minutes
3 times a day to increase lymphatic circulation to
remove acids from the plantar fasciia. The
whole body vibration also helps to vibrate
acids out of the tissues causing the pain
or inflammation.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/vibratrim.htm

10) Terra pHirm clay packs to pull acids from the
acidic plantar fasciia.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/young-pHorever.htm

"Each treatment option has its pros and cons," Dr. Ross
noted. "But the fact is that this problem just heals
itself with time, exercise and patience. We live
in a 'now' society, where people want the instant fix.
In the case of plantar "acidic" fasciitis, that is just
not the best option."

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, "approximately 98
percent of those suffering with plantar "acidic"
fasciitis will get better with the proper alkaline diet,
alkaline exercises and non-operative techniques over a
six to nine-month span."

The pH Miracle for Cancer and The pH Miracle Living Diet

An alkaline plant-based diet or the pH Miracle Living Diet
which is high in alkalizing cancerous-fighting lignans
may be associated with improved survival among
postmenopausal women with breast cancer, according to a
study presented by Susan E. McCann, Division of Cancer
Prevention and Population Sciences, Roswell Park Cancer
Institute (RPCI), at the 2008 annual meeting of the American
Association for Cancer Research (AACR), April 12-16,
in San Diego, CA.

Lignans are plant compounds found in seeds, whole
grains, vegetables and fruits. In laboratory studies,
lignans have been shown to impact acidic hormone levels
and tumor formations. Researchers from Roswell Park and
the University at Buffalo evaluated the dietary lignan
intakes of 1,122 women diagnosed with breast cancer
who participated in the Western New York Exposures and
Breast Cancer Study (WEB Study) between 1996 and 2001.
Lignan intake was calculated based on responses to
a questionnaire that charted intake of over 100
foods.

The study found that dietary lignan intake had no
relevance among premenopausal women with breast cancer.
However, in postmenopausal women, those with a high
lignan intake were 70% less likely to die from breast
cancer.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, at the pH Miracle
Living Center, "the study suggests that certain
alkaline fruits and vegetables may offer more
protection than others. Postmenopausal women diagnosed
with cancerous breasts who reported high intakes of
lignans, which in this study were supplied mostly by
broccoli, avocado, cucumbers, celery, winter squash,
spinach and other leafy greens, had a statistically
significant reduction in death rates."

No More Incontinence

Commonly used acidic incontinence drugs may cause
memory problems in some older people, a study has
found. "Our message is to be careful when using
these medicines," said U.S. Navy neurologist
Dr. Jack Tsao, who led the study. "It may be
better to use diapers and be able to think
clearly than the other way around."

Urinary incontinence sometimes can be resolved
with non-drug treatments, he added, so patients
should ask about alternatives. Exercises, alkaline
foods, hydration with alkaline green drinks,
anti-acidic nutritional supplements, biofeedback
and keeping to a schedule of bathroom
breaks work for many.

U.S. sales of acidic prescription drugs to treat
urinary problems topped $3 billion in 2007, according
to IMS Health, which tracks drug sales. Bladder
control trouble affects about one in 10 people age
65 and older, according to the National Institute
on Aging, which helped fund the study. Women are more
likely to be affected than men. Causes include nerve
damage, loss of muscle tone or, in men, enlarged
prostate - all a result of acidic drugs, diets and
lifestyles.

The research began after Tsao met a 73-year-old
patient. Shortly after starting an acidic incontinence
drug, she began hallucinating conversations with
dead relatives and having memory problems. Her
thinking improved when she stopped the acidic
drug for several months.

Tsao and his colleagues knew of similar reports.
They decided to look at a large group of people
to see if they could measure an effect of these
and other medications that affect acetylcholine,
a chemical messenger that shuttles signals through
the brain and the rest of the nervous system. The
acidic drugs block some nerve impulses, such as
spasms of the bladder.

The findings, released Thursday at a meeting of
the American Academy of Neurology, come from an
analysis of the medication use and cognitive test
scores of 870 older Catholic priests, nuns and
brothers who participated in the Religious Orders
Study at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center.
The average age was 75.

Researchers tracked them for nearly eight years,
testing yearly for cognitive decline. They asked
them to recite strings of numbers backward and
forward, to name as many different kinds of fruit
as they could in one minute and to complete other
challenges during the annual testing.

Nearly 80 percent of the study participants took
one or more of a acidic class of drugs called
anticholinergics, including drugs for high blood
pressure, asthma, Parkinson's dis-ease and acidic
incontinence drugs such as Detrol and Ditropan.

The people who took the acidic drugs had a 50 percent
faster rate of cognitive decline compared to those
who didn't take any. The researchers considered
other risk factors for memory loss, such as age,
and still found the link.

The acidic incontinence drugs were among the most
potent and were the most frequently taken of all
the anticholinergics in the study. That's why the
researchers believe they are driving the memory
problems, Tsao said.

Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist, at the
pH Miracle Living Center, "drugs for incontinence
do not address the true cause and that is an
acidic lifestyle, diet and the acidic drugs.
The cause is simple. Eliminate the acidic drugs,
eliminate the acidic foods, eliminated the acidic
drinks, eliminate the acidic emotions and start
alkalizing the blood and tissues and you will be
on your way to no more incontinence, memory loss,
high blood pressure, asthma and Parkinson's ."

The Key To Health, Energy and Fitness

The nation's 10 most expensive dietary and metabolic
acid caused medical conditions cost about $500 billion
to treat in 2005, according to the latest News and
Numbers from the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality. The money paid for visits to doctor's offices,
clinics and emergency departments, hospital stays,
home health care and prescription medicines.

Estimated spending for the 10 most expensive
acid conditions are:

* Heart conditions $76 billion
* Trauma disorders $72 billion
* Cancer $70 billion
* Mental disorders, including depression
$56.0 billion
* Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
$54 billion
* High blood pressure $42 billion
* Type 2 diabetes $34 billion
* Osteoarthritis and other joint diseases
$34 billion
* Back problems $32 billion

AHRQ, which is part of the U.S. Department of Health

Eating Trans-Acidic-Fats May Lead To Higher Cancerous Risk

Trans-acidic-fats or crystallized acidic fats, saturated
with hydrogen ions, which are being phased out of food
because they clog arteries, may raise the risk of
breast cancer, European researchers reported on Friday.

They found that women with the highest blood levels of
trans-acidic-fats had about twice the risk of breast
cancer compared to women with the lowest levels.

"At this stage, we can only recommend limiting the
consumption of processed foods, the source of
industrially produced trans-fatty acid," the
researchers wrote in the American Journal of
Epidemiology.

Trans-acidic-fats or trans-fatty acids are made in
creating artificially hardened fats -- in the
process of hydrogenization, for instance.

Veronique Chajes of the French national scientific
research center at the University of Paris-South
and colleagues studied women taking part in a large
European cancer trial.

They studied 363 women diagnosed with breast cancer,
comparing their blood levels of fatty acids with
those of women without cancer.

The higher the levels of trans-acidic-fatty acids,
the more likely a woman was to have cancer, Chajes
and colleagues found.

Women with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids,
being studied for their potential benefits to health,
were not any less likely to have breast cancer,
the researchers found.

Trans-acidic-fats can be found in cooking fats,
baked goods, snacks, a variety of other prepared
foods and generally all acidic foods. Omega-3 or
unsaturated or unacidic fats are found in fatty
fish such as salmon, walnuts, linseed, hemp seed,
fruits like avocado, green vegetables and leafy green
vegetables.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist
at the pH Miracle Living Center, "acids from diet and
lifestyle cause cancerous cells and tissues. One of
the major acidic contributors is trans-acidic-fats. To
prevent any cancerous conditions it is important to
ingest liberal amounts of unsaturated and unacidic fats
from hemp, flax, linseed, pomegranate and oil oil.
I have recommended for years at least 3 to 4 ounces of
unsaturated or unacidic fats every day for a man or
woman weighing 70 kilos or 154 pounds."

Here are a few unacidic fats you may want to include
in your daily diet:

Resveratrol From Grapes and Berries May Help Prevent Pancreatic Cancer

A compound found in the skin of red grapes, raspherries
and blueberries may help induce pancreatic cancer cells to
biological transform or die, a lab study has found.

The compound, called resveratrol, is produced by
certain plants as part of their defense arsenal
against acids. A handful of foods, including
raspberries, and blueberries contain resveratrol, but
it is most abundant in the skin of red grapes.

In the new study, researchers at the University of
Rochester Medical Center in New York treated human
pancreatic cancer cells with resveratrol, either alone
or in combination with radiation.

They found that the phytocemical or anti-acid resveratrol
compound disrupted the activity of the cancerous or
fermenting acidic cells' mitochondria, energy-producing
centers needed for cells to function. Resveratrol also
impaired certain cancerous-cell proteins that thwart
chemotherapy by pumping drugs out of the cell.

In combination with radiation, but not alone, the
compound bumped up the production of cell-transforming
substances called reactive oxygen species or acid
buffers -- potentially making the cancerous cells
more destructible.

And, in fact, cancerous or acidic cells treated with
the combination were more likely to self-destruct or
transform, the study found.

"While additional studies are needed, this research
indicates that resveratrol has a promising future as
part of the treatment for cancer," lead investigator
Dr. Paul Okunieff said in a university statement.

What the results mean for cancer patients is not yet
clear. Resveratrol is available in over-the-counter
supplements, but there is no evidence that taking
them aids cancer treatment. People undergoing cancer
treatment should also not take any supplement without
discussing it with their doctor first.

Okunieff and his colleagues also point out that they
used a relatively high dose of resveratrol, 50 micrograms
per milliliter; the concentration found in red grapes,
raspberries and blueberries varies widely by type, but
some fruits have resveratrol levels as high as 30
micrograms per milliliter.

However, no one yet knows whether resveratrol from red
grapes would affect tumors in the body the same way it
does cancerous cells in a lab dish.

According to Dr. Young, a research scientist from the
pH Miracle Living Center, "antioxidants such as
resveratrol from red grapes, raspberries or blueberries
are powerful chelators of dietary and metabolic acids
that may help to prevent a cancerous condition such as,
pancreatic cancer. That is why I created the concentrated
whole food product pHruits and pHolage."

The Isoflavone Genistein From Soybean May Prevent Breast Cancer

Women with high blood levels of an anti-estrogen-like
compound found in soy seem to have a lower risk of
developing breast cancer, a new study suggests.

Researchers found that among more than 24,000 middle-
aged and older Japanese women, those with the highest
levels of the compound, called genistein, were only
one-third as likely as other women to develop breast
cancer over 10 years.

Genistein is one of the major isoflavones, plant
compounds found in soybeans, chick peas and other
legumes that are structurally similar to the hormone
estrogen, and are believed to bind to estrogen receptors
on body cells.

While some studies have linked soy consumption with
a lower risk of breast cancer, others have found no
protective effect. Some animal research, in fact, has
suggested that genistein might spur tumor development
and growth. The new findings, reported in the Journal
of Clinical Oncology, suggest that this is not the case
in women, at least when genistein is consumed through
food alone.

"This finding suggests a risk-reducing rather than
a risk-enhancing effect of isoflavones on breast cancer,
even at relatively high concentrations within the
range achievable from dietary intake alone," write
the researchers, led by Dr. Motoki Iwasaki of the
National Cancer Center in Tokyo.

The study included 24,226 women ages 40 to 69 who
gave blood samples and completed a dietary assessment,
then were followed for an average of 10 years. During
that time, 144 women were diagnosed with breast cancer.

When Iwasaki's team separated the women based on their
blood levels of genistein at the study's start, they
found that the one-quarter with highest levels were
65 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than
the quarter of women with the lowest genistein levels.

There was no risk reduction seen among women with
moderate levels of the isoflavone, however.

Together with past studies, Iwasaki said, the
findings suggest that a high isoflavone intake from
food may help lower breast cancer risk.

Whether the findings necessarily extend to women in
Western countries is not clear, however. Japanese
women, Iwasaki noted, typically consume soy
isoflavones on a regular basis starting from a young
age, which may influence the compounds' effects on
breast cancer development.

The Acid Alcohol Causes Breast Cancer

A large U.S. study has linked the acid
alcohol consumption to an increased risk
of the most common type of breast cancer
in postmenopausal women.

The analysis of data from more than 184,000
women is the biggest of three major studies
to conclude that drinking the acid alcohol
raises the risk of breast cancer for older
women, Jasmine Lew, a researcher at the National
Cancer Institute and the study's lead investigator
said on Sunday.

The research found that women who had one to two
small drinks a day were 32 percent more likely
to develop a hormone-sensitive tumor. Three or
more acidic alcoholic beverages a day raised the
risk for cancerous acidic breasts by 51 per cent.

"Regardless of the type of alcohol, the risk was
evident," said Lew, presenting the findings here
at a meeting of the American Association for
Cancer Research.

About 70 percent of women who are diagnosed with
breast cancer have tumors that are positive for
both the acid estrogen and the acid progesteron.

Lew said results from the NCI study lend credence
to the theory that alcohol's interference with
the metabolism of estrogen raises the risk of
cancer.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center,
"alcohol is a secondary metabolite of sugar
fermentation and when ingested, if not eliminated
through urination, is distributed into the
fatty tissues, such as the breasts and the brain,
in order to protect the delicate alkaline pH balance
of the blood and tissue fluids."

Lew also said, "it was too early to make public
health recommendations but said women should
talk with their doctors to assess risk factors
and consider lifestyle changes."

Young also said, "the key to breast and brain
cancer prevention is to never drink alcohol,
coffee, tea or milk. The country with the
highest incidence of breast cancer is in Norway
caused by a high consumption of dairy products."

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer
killer of women, after lung cancer. It will be
diagnosed in 1.2 million people globally this year
and will kill 500,000.

According to Young, "the cure for breast cancer will
be found in its prevention not in its treatment. And,
the best way to prevent a cancerous condition is
to maintain the alkaline design of the body with
alkalizing lifestyle and dietary choices."

==================================================

Dr. Young,

I've used the pHlavor liquid salt on my cold sores
as soon as they develop and it stops the cold sore
dead in its tracks. The liquid salt seems to kill
the cold sore on contact and never lets it fully
develop which quickens the healing process. I'm
using the salt right now as I type this. I've tried
everything to prevent my cold sores from raging out
of control and the pHlavor liquid salt is the only
product that has ever worked. The recent cold snap
here in Chicago land has temporarily weakened my
immune system to allow the cold sore to flourish,
but thanks to the salt I have no worries mate.

Your smart work and dedication is greatly
appreciated.

Talk to you soon,

Magnesium In The Prevention of Dis-Ease

A lack of magnesium accelerates aging or fermentation
of human cells, which may explain the link between
any long-term deficiency and a higher risk of
aging-related dis-eases, a study released Monday said.

Magnesium is essential for hundreds of biochemical
reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal
muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm
steady, and keeps bones strong.

Yet research has shown that, at least in the United
States, more than half the population is lacking in
magnesium due to deficiencies in their diet,
potentially increasing their risk of cardiovascular
disease, hypertension, diabetes, osteoporosis and
many cancerous conditions.

To try to understand why magnesium deficiency
predisposes people to dis-ease, Bruce Ames and
researchers at Children's Hospital Oakland Research
Institute in California studied the long-term
effects of moderate magnesium deficiency on human
fibroblasts, cells that provide a structural
framework for many tissues in the body.

They cultured the cells for their entire lifespan,
a period of three to four months, to mimic the
effects of a lack of magnesium in the study which
appears in the Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences.

They found that while the cells survived and divided
normally under moderate magnesium-depleted conditions,
they appeared to become older quicker than cells grown
in normal magnesium concentrations.

"Magnesium deficiency affects the way the cells age.
Accelerated cellular aging affects the way tissue
functions," said David Killilea, an associate staff
scientist in the Nutrition and Metabolism Center at
Children's Hospital Oakland Research Institute.

"We are now thinking that cellular consequences of
magnesium deficiency may be driving long-term chronic
disease."

Ames and Killilea suggested the markers of accelerated
cellular aging in magnesium-deficient cells may
indicate that the cells were in triage mode, saving
resources for indispensable metabolic processes at
the expense of long-term function.

As for diagnosing and treating chronic moderate
magnesium deficiency, there is no good laboratory
marker for this type of condition. It tends to fly
under the radar, the scientists said.

"You could be moderately deficient for a long time
and not know it," said Killilea.

Food sources rich in the micronutrient include
green vegetables and fruits such as spinach,
parsley, leafy greens, avocado, cucumber, nuts,
and seeds.

I would also suggest magnesium in the form of
magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide.

You will find these two forms of magnesium in
pHour salts and pHlavor salts which help to
maintain the alkaline design of the body and
reduce dietary and metabolic acid.

The Acid Botox May Lead To Nuerological Dis-Ease

The toxic acid Botox, the popular treatment to counter
facial wrinkles, can move from the face to the brain.
A study published in the Journal of Neuroscience found
that the active acidic ingredient in Botox — botulinum
acid toxin — moved into the brainstem brain of rats
within three days of injection.

Remnants of this acidic poison also moved from the
hippocampus on one side of the brain that controls
spatial navigation and long-term memory, to the
hippocampus on the opposite side of the brain.
Researchers also found that the toxic acid Botox
remnants in areas connected with hand-eye coordination.
The effects were still present six months later.

“The idea that there could be some transmission of
this to the central nervous system needs to be
followed up,” said Matthew Avram, director of
Massachusetts General Hospital’s Dermatology, Laser
and Cosmetology Center.

The acidic toxic Botox has been used to smooth facial
wrinkles and to treat other health problems since it
was approved for use in 1989. Sales topped $1.2 billion
worldwide in 2007.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist
at The pH Miracle Living Center, states, "Botox is
the acidic urine or exotoxin from a bacteria. The idea
of injecting an acidic poison from bacteria into the body
tissues is unbelievable to me and may be a contributing
factor for neurological dis-ease such as Alzheimer's,
Parkinson's, seizures, and sclerosis. Any acid,
including the acid Botox could potentially turn
ones brain into swiss cheese and should be avoided
at all cost. A more natural and healthful way to
reduce or eliminate wrinkles is to alkalize,
energize and hydrate the skin with and alkaline
lifestyle and diet. The skin is a product of the
blood and the blood is a product of the lifestyle
and diet. When you have healthy blood you will
have healthy skin and the best way to have healthy
blood is to have an alkaline lifestyle and diet."

Acids Lead to Depression and Depression May Lead To Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Sclerosis

People who are depressed are more likely to develop
Alzheimer’s dis-ease than people who have never had
depression, according to a study published in the
April 8, 2008, issue of Neurology®, the medical
journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

The study involved 486 people age 60 to 90 who
had no dementia. Of those, 134 people had
experienced at least one episode of depression
that prompted them to seek medical advice.

The participants were followed for an average
of six years. During that time 33 people developed
Alzheimer’s dis-ease. People who had experienced
depression were 2.5 times more likely to develop
Alzheimer’s dis-ease than people who had never had
depression. The risk was even higher for those
whose depression occurred before the age of 60; they
were nearly four times more likely to develop
Alzheimer’s than those with no depression.

“We don’t know yet whether depression contributes
to the development of Alzheimer’s disease or whether
another unknown factor causes both depression and
dementia,” said study author Monique M.B. Breteler,
MD, PhD, with the Erasmus University Medical Center
in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. “We’ll need to do
more studies to understand the relationship between
depression and dementia.”

One theory was that depression leads to loss of cells
in two areas of the brain, the hippocampus and the
amygdala, which then contributes to Alzheimer’s dis-ease.
But this study found no difference in the size of these
two brain areas between people with depression and
people who had never had depression.

The study also assessed whether the participants had
symptoms of depression at the start of the study. But
those with depressive symptoms at the start of the study
were not more likely to develop Alzheimer’s than those
with no depression at the start of the study.

The study was supported by the Netherlands Organization
for Scientific Research and the Health Research and
Development Council.

The American Academy of Neurology, an association of
more than 21,000 neurologists and neuroscience
professionals, is dedicated to improving patient care
through education and research. A neurologist is a
doctor with specialized training in diagnosing,
treating and managing disorders of the brain and
nervous system such as stroke, Alzheimer’s disease,
epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at The pH Miracle Living Center, states,
"Alzheimer's dis-ease as well as epilepsy, Parkinson's
dis-ease and sclerosis are caused by lifestyle, diet
and metabolic acids. Depression is an active acid
condition that creates metabolic acids that can
cause breakdown of the brain and central nervous
system. I have stated many times that depression
is not something you get it is something that you
do. Thoughts require energy and energy when used
produces metabolic acids that make you sick and
tired. The best way to prevent neurological disorders
is to reduce and eliminate metabolic acids with an
alkaline lifestyle and diet. It is the only way to
prevent or cure the symptoms of Alzheimer's, epilepsy,
Parkinson's and sclerosis."

Lose Weight Now - Ask Me How

Women who carry excess acidic fat around their
waists were at greater risk of dying early from
a cancerous condition or heart dis-ease than were
women with smaller waistlines, even if they were
of normal weight, reported researchers from Harvard
and the National Institutes of Health.

There is increasing evidence that excess abdominal
acidic fat is a risk factor for long-term conditions
like diabetes and heart dis-ease. However, the
relationship between abdominal acidic obesity and
risk of death has not been widely studied. The current
study is one of the largest extended investigations
of abdominal acidic obesity and women’s risk of
premature death.

The researchers discovered that women with greater
waist circumferences were more likely to die
prematurely, particularly from heart dis-ease, when
compared to women with smaller waists. For example,
women with waist size equal to or greater than 35
inches were approximately twice as likely to die
of heart dis-ease as were women with a waist size
less than 28 inches, regardless of their body mass
index. Similarly, women with a waist size equal to
or greater than 35 inches also were twice as likely
to die of a cancerous acidic condition as were women
with a waist size less than 28 inches.

Women who had a greater waist circumference and were
also obese were at the greatest risk of premature
death. Researchers determined if a woman was overweight
by calculating her body mass index (BMI), a measure of
a person’s weight in relation to height. BMI is used
to estimate the proportion of a person’s weight that
derives from body fat. A BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
is considered healthy. A BMI of 30.0 - 39.9 is
regarded as obese.

Greater waist circumference is a sign of collecting
excess acidic fat around one’s midsection, called
abdominal obesity. According to the Clinical Guidelines
on the Identification, Evaluation and Treatment of
Overweight and Obesity in Adults published by NHLBI
in cooperation with NIDDK in 1998, a healthy waist
limit for women is 35 inches and, for men, 40 inches.
Waist circumference is determined by measuring around
the waist at the navel line. The NHLBI lists information
on waist circumference and BMI by going here.

The researchers also studied waist-to-hip ratio — a
measure of the narrowest part of the waist compared
to the circumference at the broadest part of the hip —
as a potential determinant of mortality risk. Waist-to-hip
ratio was found to be as strongly associated with risk
of early death as the measurement of waist size alone.

"Although maintaining a healthy weight should continue
to be a corner stone in the prevention of chronic dis-eases
and premature death, maintaining a healthy waist size
should also be an important goal," the study authors
wrote.

To calculate your BMI and assess your risk for conditions
related to acidic overweight and obesity, read the
pH Miracle for Weight Loss, by Dr. Robert and Shelley
Young. You will find a BMI chart for assessing your
risk for a cancerous condition or heart dis-ease.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist
at the pH Miracle Living Center, states, "overweight and
obesity are not fat problems, they are an over-acidic
problem caused by lifestyle, diet and metabolic acids.
If you need and want to lose acidic weight then you
need to eliminate acidic lifestyle and dietary choices
and begin to alkalize and energize your body with
the pH Miracle Living Lifestyle and Dietary Plan."

Lifestyle and Dietary Acids Cause Heartburn, GERD, Barrett's, and Esophageal Cancer

Over the past two decades, esophageal cancer has
risen six-fold. About 16,470 Americans will be
diagnosed with esophageal cancer this year, according
to the American Cancer Society. Fewer than one
in five survives five years with the current medical
treatment of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery.

The following are excerpts from an article by Lauran
Neegaard of the Associated Press and Dr. Robert O.
Young, of the pH Miracle Living Center.

"Chronic heartburn is a daily acid bath for the
esophagus, and complications from it are on the rise."

"The reason that chronic heartburn is on the rise is
because of the chronic ingestion of acidic foods and
drinks, including dairy, meat, high sugar fruits and
grains. When we have a highly acidic diet this causes
the stomach to produce a high amount of sodium bicarbonate
to buffer the excess dietary acid. This increase of
sodium bicarbonate to alkalize the ingestion of an
highly acidic meal creates an equal amount of a very
strong acid called hydrochloric acid. This is the
acid that causes acid reflux and the eventual esophageal
cancer," states Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center.

According to Lauran Neeraard, "more doctors are trying
to zap away the worst damage, beaming radiofrequency
energy down the throat to burn off precancerous
cells."

According to Dr. Young, "current medical savants
do not understand that the cause of cancer is a
liquid acid from diet and metabolism. Zapping
pre-cancerous or cancerous cells with radiation is
focused on the effects of acid and not the cause of
the cancer - what you are eating, drinking and thinking.
This is why esophageal cancers are so deadly when
treated by current medical ideology. The oncologists
and the radiologists are focused on the effects
of the acidic diet and lifestyle rather then
the the acid lifestyle and diet that is fermenting
and degenerating body cells. The focus has to be on
the acid from lifestyle and diet, not the body cell
if one is going to have any success with reversing or
curing a cancerous condition, like esophageal cancer.
I have found that the simple approach to buffering
lifestyle, dietary and metabolic acids,
which are the true causes of all cancers in the human
or animal body, is to hyper-alkalize the tissues of the body
with bicarbonate of mineral salts."

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/pHourSalts.htm

Lauran Neegaard, also states, "heartburn sometimes
is a temporary problem, but it also can signal
gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD), where
a loose valve allows stomach acid to regularly
back up into the delicate esophagus. Millions
have GERD, which is on the rise along with
expanding waist lines."

"Severe reflux over many years can cause serious
problems for a fraction of people. The lining
of the esophagus erodes until it bleeds, narrows
to make swallowing difficult or. worse, starts to
repair itself with more acid-resistant intestinal
cells that happen to be more cancer-prone. That
last condition is called Barrett's esophagus, and
suffers are 30 times more likely than the average
person to go on to develop esophageal cancer."

According to Dr. Young. "all cancerous conditions
are the effects of lifestyle, dietary and metabolic
acids that can be prevented by making alkaline
lifestyle and dietary choices. The key to completely
reversing or curing a cancerous condition is found
in its prevention. If you have been diagnosed with
a cancerous condition then the best advise in dealing
with this acidic condition is to hyper-alkalize the
tissues with alkaline mineral salts, such as sodium,
magnesium, potassium and calcium bicarbonate. My
research indicates that hyper-alkalizing is one of
the most powerful ways of buffering the acids that
cause ALL cancerous conditions."

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/pHourSalts.htmf

"When dealing with heartburn which is stage 2 acidosis,
or Gerd, which is stage 4 acidosis, Barrett's
condition, which is stage 5 acidosis, or esophageal
cancer which is stage 7 acidosis, the treatment
is always the same - alkalize the blood and tissues
with an alkaline lifestyle and diet. It is the only
way to restore health and energy to the body,"
states Dr. Young.

cancer listen to The pH Miracle for Cancer, now
available on 8 CD's.

Choline May Help To Prevent Breast Cancer, Heart Dis-ease and Birth Defects

Choline, an essential nutrient found in foods such as
cauliflower, is associated with a 24 percent reduced
risk of breast cancer, according to a study supported
by a grant from the U.S. National Institutes of Health
(NIH), to be published in The FASEB Journal's print
issue in June.(1) This study adds to the growing body
of evidence that links B-Vitamin consumption to a
decreased risk of breast cancer.

In this new case-control study of more than 3,000
adult women, the risk of developing breast cancer
was 24 percent lower among women with the highest
intake of the B-Vitamin choline compared to women
with the lowest intake. Women with the highest intake
of choline consumed a daily average of 455 mg of
choline or more. Women with the lowest intake consumed
a daily average of 196 milligrams or less.

"Choline is needed for the normal functioning of cells,
no matter your age or gender," says Steven H. Zeisel,
MD, PhD, University of North Carolina, who is an author
of the study and a leading choline researcher.
"Increasing evidence shows that it may be particularly
important for women, particularly those of child-bearing
age."

Only ten percent of Americans currently meet the
recommended intake for choline, identifying a need to
increase choline intake across the population.
According to the Institute of Medicine, adequate
choline intake is 550 milligrams per day for men
and breastfeeding women, 425 milligrams per day
for women, and 450 milligrams per day for pregnant
women. Choline is also found in wheat germ.

"While choline is an essential nutrient to the human
diet, most people haven't even heard of it," says
Gerald Weissmann, MD, Editor in Chief of The FASEB
Journal and research professor of medicine and director
of the Biotechnology Study Center at the New York
University School of Medicine. "Given that in the U.S.
there is a real need to understand how much choline
we require in our diet, we hope that research,
education and awareness about choline will increase
as a result of this study published in The FASEB
Journal."

Cauliflower and Decreased Risk of Breast Cancer:

Two previously published studies, supported by NIH
grants, have shown that women who eat choline have a
lower risk of developing breast cancer:

* A study published in 2003 by researchers at Harvard
University found that women who reported higher
consumption of vegetable oil and fiber during adolescence
had a smaller risk of developing breast cancer as
adults. Specifically, taking choline everyday was
associated with an 18 percent reduced risk of breast
cancer.

* A study of Chinese women published in Cancer
Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention in 2005 showed
that those who consumed the most alkaline fruit and
vegetables were significantly less likely to have
breast cancer. For those that reported eating at least
120 mgs. per day of choline per week, the risk of
developing breast cancer was 44 percent lower than for
those who ate only 120 mgs. for two days per week.

Other Benefits of Choline:

In addition to playing a role in the normal functioning
of all cells, including brain and nerve function,
liver metabolism and the transportation of nutrients
throughout the body, choline has been shown to:

* Prevent Birth Defects: According to population-based
research, infants from mothers whose diets were deficient
in choline were four times more likely to have neural
tube defects such as spina bifida. This increased risk
was observed even when other nutrients that help prevent
birth defects, such as folic acid, were in adequate
supply.

* Improve Memory: Research suggests that choline is
essential for proper fetal and infant brain development.
It appears that choline affects the areas of the
brain responsible for memory function and life-long
learning ability.

* Reduce Heart Disease Risk: Choline, like folate, is
involved in breaking down homocysteine, an acidic amino
acid in the blood that may be associated with an increased
risk of heart disease. In fact, research shows that
choline deficiency results in increased homocysteine
levels.

Dr. Young has developed a new product that contains
the B-Vitamin choline in a colloidal form with the
healing energies of colloidal Ruby.

pHorver colloidal Ruby with choline go to:

Seven Steps To Eliminate Belly Fat

Americans have lived through many health crises
in the past but the latest threat, though largely
preventable, has silently grown to potentially
deadly proportions. America is in the grips of an
"acidic obesity epidemic," and 65 percent of the
population is over-acid and thus over-weight.

Even those who may not consider themselves over-
acid and over-weight may be carrying a large amount
of acidic deadly belly fat, known to increase the
risk of heart disease in relatively slim, fit and
alkaline people.

Most people have a basic sense that being over-acid
and then over-weight is bad for their health, but
few appreciate just how dangerous being over-acid is.

My book, The pH Miracle for Weight Loss talks about
controlling and buffering excess acidity leading to
the body retaining fat as a protection is really simple
to reverse: Eat for health, not for pleasure. This is
not to say that a healthy alkaline diet has to taste
bad. But it is critical to keep in mind that the goal
is a diet that provides health and fitness. The loss
of excess acid fat will always come when you follow a
healthy alkaline diet.

Below are my seven steps for losing excess acidic fat
bound weight permanently! For a detailed discussion on
how to lose acidic fat bound weight read, "The pH
Miracle for Weight Loss" by Dr. Robert and Shelley
Young.

1. Eat lots of alkaline vegetables and fruits. Also,
eat a mixture of fresh organically grown vegetables
and fruits, which should all be cleansed thoroughly
to remove pesticides and herbicides with a mixture
of liquid sodium bicarbonate, called puripHy.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/veggie-phlakes.htm
http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phruits.htm

2. Avoid excessive complex and simple carbohydrates.
The four worst culprits are sweetened drinks
(sodas and fruits drinks), pasta, breads and high
sugar fruits like bananas and apples. While acidic
sugary desserts are bad, they are never eaten in as
high a volume as these four.

Breads and pastas are high on the glycemic or acid
index -- a measure of how fast a carbohydrate is broken
down into the acid sugar and absorbed into the blood.
The faster acidic sugar enters the blood, the greater
the secretion of insulin and sodium bicarbonate -- the
process that causes us to be hungry. Foods low on the
acid index are absorbed more slowly, like avocado,
cucumber, broccoli and leafy greens.

Your source of carbohydrates will be low sugar, such
as avocado, cucumber, broccoli, celery, parsley, leafy
greens, etc. Years ago it was observed that the Asians
ate a diet high in carbohydrates, yet they had a low
risk of heart attack and stroke. Now we know that's
because they eat only carbohydrates that contain fiber
which adsorbs and absorbs dietary acids.

3. Avoid all animal proteins. All meats are acidic and the
worst are turkey, ostrich, pork and chicken. Organically
raised animals are not any better. Processed meats should
never be eaten, since most are heavily dosed with the
acid nitrite and injected with exotoxic and mycotoxic
additives. A recent study found that eating these
meats multiplies the risk for a cancerous pancreas
by 62 times.

It is not worth the risk to eat animal protein. Animal
protein contains over 350,000 pathological microorganisms
per gram and is never completely digested in the gut.
The acids from the animal flesh, which includes, nitric
acid, uric acid, phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid,
the high titers of microorganisms and the congestion it
causes in the small and large bowel the best choice is
to NEVER eat meat! You don't need it! IF you want to
build a strong and healthy body then you need to
eliminate meat and start eating and drinking
chlorophyll from green plants. This is why I have
created the Young pHorever concentrated liquid
Chlorophyll. Add just a few drops to each glass of
purified and alkaline water.

4. Exercise. Over an extended period, no health and
fitness program will work without exercise. The beauty
of exercise is that not only are activating your
lymphatic system and pulling dietary and metabolic
acids out of the tissues while you exercise -- you
are also opening the pours of the skin and sweating
out acids on your way to health and fitness.
I recommend daily jogging, rebounding and whole body
vibrational exercising.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/vibratrim.htm

5) Eating quality, pure alkaline green foods is important
for your overall health and fitness. For a complete
list of foods to eat freely and foods to avoid, read
The pH Miracle for Weight Loss, by Dr. Robert and
Shelley Young. You may also want to try a concentration
of organic vegetables and fruits. Just add to your
soups, salads, or water.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phruits.htm

6) Drink every day pure alkaline electron rich water.
I have recommended drinking at least 1 liter or quart per
25 Kilos or 50 pounds of weight, per day. For less
the 5 cents a liter you can make alkaline electron
rich water with the Young Life Ionizers. For more
information go to:

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/ionizer5000.htm

7) Drink at least 4 ounces or 125 ml of mono or poly-
unsaturated fat every day. My favorite monounsaturated
fats are the Young pHorever Avocado and Olive oils.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/avocado-oil.htm

A major key to losing belly fat is drinking lots
of monounsaturated fats. It is the first fat
the body utilizes, before the polyunsaturated
fat, for body energy and cellular construction.
Eating these oils daily will help you lose your
acidic belly fat faster.

Dietary and Metabolic Acids Cause Hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, Diabetes and Obesity

Children who lead acidic inactive lifestyles are
five-to-six times more likely to be at serious
risk of heart dis-ease, with that degree of danger
emerging as early as their teenage years, according
to a new study by researchers at the University of
North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

The findings, published Friday (April 4) in the
open access journal Dynamic Medicine, looked at
a group of children twice - first while in grade
school, then again seven years later when they
were in their teens.

Researchers wanted to know more about the early
onset of dietary and metabolic acid syndrome, an
acidic condition more commonly found in adults.
Dieatry and metabolic acidic syndrome is the label
given to a clustering of acidic conditions that
raise the risk of heart dis-ease and diabetes,
such as glucose intolerance, hypertension,
elevated triglycerides, low HDL (so-called "good")
cholesterol and obesity. Previous studies have
found that somewhere from four percent to nine
percent of adolescents have the condition.

However, until now, no one had tracked the same
group of children over time to see just how
fitness and activity levels in their early years
played a role in the likelihood of them developing
dietary and metabolic acidic syndrome by the time
they were teenagers, according to Robert McMurray,
professor of exercise and sports science in the
department of exercise and sports science in UNC's
College of Arts and Sciences.

The study looked at data from almost 400 children
between the ages of seven and 10 from across North
Carolina. Researchers measured factors such as height,
body mass, percentage body fat, blood pressure and
cholesterol levels. Participants were also surveyed
about their physical activity and given an aerobic
fitness test.

When the same children were examined again seven years
later, 4.6 percent had three or more characteristics of dietary and metabolic acid syndrome.

McMurray said adolescents with the syndrome were six
times more likely to have had low aerobic fitness as
children and five times more likely to have low levels
of physical activity at the time they joined the
study.

For example, as children, those who had low levels of
physical activity got no vigorous exercise (such as
playing basketball or soccer) and spent less than
20 minutes a day doing moderate-intensity physical
activity (walking briskly, riding a bike at a medium
speed). That means that at best, they were getting
just one-third of the 60 minutes a day that is
currently recommended for children by the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention.

"This shows efforts need to begin early in childhood
to increase exercise," he said. "Children today live
a very sedentary life and are prone to obesity. This
is the first study to examine the importance of
childhood fitness levels on your metabolism as a
teenager. Previously we didn't know if low fitness
levels were an influence."

"It's obvious now that there is a link and this is
something which we need to pay attention to by
encouraging our kids to keep fit, or suffer the
consequences later in life," said McMurray.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research
scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, stated,
"dietary and metabolic acidic syndrome
is a name of several conditions, including hypertension,
diabetes and obesity caused by poor lifestyle and
dietary choices. If you want to be healthy and
fit you have to alkalize and exercise your body
every day. The best way to maintain the alkaline
design of the body and prevent the conditions of
dietary and metabolic acidic syndrome is with the
pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet."

No More Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Sclerosis, Osteoporosis and Cancerous Conditions

One in every three American adults suffers from
an over-acid condition called arthritis. It's
one of the countries leading health problems and
is the leading cause of disability in Americans
over the age of fifteen. Although numerous
pharmaceuticals are prescribed to ease the pain
of arthritis they do not cure arthritis because
they do not deal with the cause - an over-acidic
lifestyle and diet. Alkalizing foods and drinks
including plant antioxidants can reduce and even
eliminate the dietary and metabolic acids that
cause the inflammation that leads to irritation
and/or inflammation of the joints, tendons and
muscles. Bottom line, there is only one cause
of irritation, inflammation and degeneration of
the body tissues that leads to arthritis,
osteoarthritis, sclerosis, osteoporosis
and all cancerous conditions of the tissues and
that is dietary and metabolic acids that have not
been properly eliminated through urination,
defecation, perspiration or respiration.

The pH Miracle Living Lifestyle and Dietary Plan,
I sometimes refer to as the C.O.W.S. Plan will help
remove the dietary and metabolic acids that cause
all irritation and inflammation in the body and begin
the process of restoration and healing. The following
is an outline of Dr. Young's C.O.W.S. Plan for
achieving ideal sustainable health and energy.

C = Chlorophyll

The most important thing one can do is to increase
the amount of whole organic green foods and drinks.
This would include cucumbers, avocados, broccoli,
celery, green papaya, green peppers, limes, kale,
collard greens, leafy greens, just to name a few.
I recommend 9 to 12 servings of fruits and veggies
everyday. Alkalizing fruits and vegetables are
great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. To help
meet your daily servings of fruits and veggies
I have created a whole food organic green
fruit and vegetable powder that can be added to
your soups, water, sprinkled on a salad or mixed
into your food. I have also created a liquid
chlorophyll which can be mixed in water, added
to soups or taken orally. Both of these products
are Young pHorever whole foods and can be ordered
through our website at:

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phruits.htm

O = Oil and Oxygen

The key to increased oxygen is to exercise for at
least 1 hour every day. This would include
walking, jogging, rebounding, whole body vibrational
exercising, swimming, yoga, just to name a few.
My favorites are jogging, yoga, and whole body
vibrational exercising. The benefits of
exercise are critical for improving blood
and lymphatic circulation for removing acids
from the connective tissues and joints that
can cause irritation, inflammation and degeneration.
When you are moving your body you are moving dietary
and metabolic acids out of the tissue that can then
be eliminated through the pores of the skin via
perspiration and/or through the mouth via respiration.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/rebounder.htm
http://www.phmiracleliving.com/vibratrim.htm

I also recommend drinking at least 3 to 4 ounces
or 125 ml of cold pressed organic Omega 1,3,5,6,
and 9 oils found in linseed oil, flax, borage, hemp,
avocado and olive oil. The pH Miracle Living
Center is offering an Omega 5 oil from
pomegranate and an Omega 1 from organic
avocados. The best source for Omega 3, 6 and 9
oils are from linseed, hemp and flax. We are
now offering the best source of cold pressed
organic Omega 3, 6 and 9 oil from linseed oil
from the green fields of England.
Please let us know by giving us a call at:
760-751-8321 if you are interested in
trying some of our cold pressed organic
linseed oil. We have it available in
capsules or pods or liquid.

For more information on our pomegranate oil or
avocado oil go to the following links:

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/cla.htm

W = Water

Drinking at least 1 liter per day of pure
alkaline water per 25 k of weight or 50 lbs. is
critical for maintaining the alkaline design of
the body. The best way to purify and alkalize
your water is with our latest Young Life Ionizer
5000, 6500, 7000 or 8500. You can learn more
about water ionization by going to the following
link:

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/ionizer5000.htm

S = Salt and Sunshine

Without salt there is no life. Our blood is
salty, our sweat is salty, our urine is salty
and our tears our salty and for good reason.
It is salt that maintains the alkaline design
of your body. It is salt that keeps your heart
beating. It is salt that buffers dietary
and metabolic acids. It is salt that allows
energy to be transported throughout the body.
It is salt that allows you to move, think
and breath. It is salt that acts as the
glue that holds the spirit and the physical
body together. Salt is life. A no or low
salt diet is death! Go to the following link
to learn more about the importance of salt in
your diet and the kind of salt that is best to
eat.

http://www.phmiracleliving.com/pHourSalts.htm
http://www.phmiracleliving.com/phlavor.htm

It can also be said that without sunlight there
would be no life. I recommend at least 30 minutes
of direct sunlight every day to recharge and energize
the body with photons that are then converted by the body
into electrical energy.

The following are some additional whole food nutrients
that I recommend taking to buffer dietary and
metabolic acids and restore health and energy to
the joints, tendons, bones and muscles.

1) Glucosamine-chondroitin sulfate

A number of large-scale, double-blind clinical
studies have demonstrated the ability of these
two nutrients to alleviate pain and aid joint
reconstruction.

2) Hyaluronic

The joint contains cartilage composed of
complex glycosaminoglycans, which aid in
joint health.One food nutrient that supplies
this vital substance is hyaluronic. This is a
component of connective tissue whose function
is to cushion, lubricate and buffer the dietary
and metabolic acids from the blood.

3) MSM

Also called methyl sulfonyl methane, MSM is a
natural form of sulfur found in living organisms.
Its main benefits are a reduction of inflammation
and the ability to penetrate many tissues, including
joints to buffer acidity.

4) Collagen type II

This is a major component in cartilage, and s
upplementation has demonstrated benefits in reducing
acidic pain and improving joint function.

5) Tart cherry extract

A number of studies have shown that concentrated
extracts of tart cherries improve joint function
and reduces dietary and metabolic pain.

6) The Spice Curcumin

This is one of the most powerful natural
anti-inflammatory substances known. Its effects
are comparable to steroids, without the acidic
harmful effects of steroids.

7) Quercetin

This is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and
antioxidant. When combined with curcumin, you
get a powerful anti-inflammatory or anti-acidic
effect because they each act on different
inflammatory biochemical pathways.

8) Linseed oil

Lineed oil contains a high concentration of
gamma-linolenic acid, which has significant anti-
inflammatory or anti-acidic properties. It also
moistens mucous membranes and the skin.

9) Natural vitamin E

Vitamin E, in natural form, has significant
anti-inflammatory or anti-acidic effects.

10) Magnesium oxide and sodium bicarbonate

Magnesium oxide and sodium bicarbonate are not
only powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory,
but they also strengthen the tissues and the
ligaments surrounding the joint. Magnesium
oxide and sodium bicarbonate have been shown
to reduce inflammation, while a deficiency
increases it. They not only slash hydorgen ions
or metabolic acids but they block the release
of inflammatory acidic cytokines as well.
A survey found that a dearth of magnesium is
one of the most common mineral deficiencies seen,
with 75% of the population lacking it. Chronic
illness and many medications worsen magnesium
and sodium bicarbonate loss.

I have created three very important mineral salts
of magnesium oxide called pHlush, sodium bicarbonate
called pHour salts and a broad spectrum of mineral
salts called pHlavor salts. Go to the following
links to learn more about the importance of
mineral salts.

11) Stinging nettle extract

This plant extract has been shown to have
powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Recent
studies have found it to be very protective of
the brain as well. It is often included in natural
supplements used to treat chronic prostate problems
for the same acidic reasons.

12 ) Glutathione from Avocado

The most powerful of all antioxidants of dietary
and metabolic acids that leads to inflammatory
and/or degenerative conditions. To learn more
about this whole food antioxidant go to the
following link:

These whole foods, natural antioxidants and
lifestyle recommendations will help you control
and eliminate the dietary and metabolic acids
that cause irritation, inflammation, ulceration,
and degeneration that lead to arthritis,
osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, sclerosis, and
cancerous tissue conditions.
