An understanding why you get sick, here is the fixer upper.

In general, our body must maintain a near perfect pH balance. It is critical to the maintenance of good health. The symbol pH is used to represent the acidity or alkalinity level. pH stands for Potential for Hydrogen. Some have called it Potential for Health. Anything from 6.9 and under is acid and from 7 and over is alkaline. Essentially every function of the body is dependent on our bodies maintaining a precisely balanced pH in the blood, and other critical bodily systems.

The pH diet is based on the idea that a person should consume foods that are slightly alkaline, because the body’s normal pH is slightly alkaline. Advocates claim that consuming a diet high in acidic foods, such as animal protein, sugar, caffeine, and processed foods, may disrupt the pH of the bloodstream, and increase a person’s likelihood of developing chronic or degenerative diseases.

The above is taken from Doctor’s information literature.

My name is Ralph Morton, I live in Beautiful British Columbia, and I am 80 years of age.

Like many “80 year olds” I have suffered with many maladies, and like many other seniors I have looked for ways to clear them up. I have found a way to do it.

I want to say right here and now, what I found out is helpful to everyone. I know you have heard it all before, however, this is the only way I can put it. This is most likely the most important piece of advice you will ever hear.

Are you still with me.? Doctors will tell you what I am saying is correct

Did you know that your health is mostly governed by your pH level? As you know your body is an amazing piece of complex machinery, if one can call it machinery. The whole system works to the benefit of one person, You.

Whatever help you can your system, give it, believe me it responds by giving you the best of service. If you are ill, it can be corrected by correcting your pH level.

Cancer for example.

Bit of history here. In 1931, a Doctor by the name of Anton Wallberg won the Nobel Prize for discovering that Cancer or any other illness could not establish themselves in an alkaline body, whereas, it and other illnesses rapidly grows in an acidic body.

The difference between an alkaline body and an acidic body is the pH level. Now, it is not very much, even a point is either way is dangerous. To much alkaline or to much acid can cause extreme problems. In fact, some peopple die if there is as much as one point.

Let’s look at the food you must NOT eat if you want to stay alkaline.

This is such a huge subject which I need to get right, should anyone feel I am straying from the point I ask that you give me a little guidence.

Tomorrow I will give the foods that are alkaline and also more information to get you healthy.
