THE IMPACT OF ACIDOSIS ON YOUR ORGANS:
 

HEART
    The heart is one of the most alkaline-dependent organs in the body. It is partly enervated by
the vagus nerve which functions best in an alkaline environment. Correct heartbeat is altered by 
acid wastes. These wastes rob the blood of proper oxygenation and degeneration of the heart 
follows. An alkaline system creates an ideal heart function.
     
STOMACH
    Digestive difficulties (belching, bloating, sensitivity at the waist, intestinal gas, 
regurgitation, hiccups, lack or limitation of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation,
colic in children) may indicate vagus nerve problems and possible hiatus hernia syndrome, which
can produce acid residue throughout the system. Hiatus hernia can quickly reduce necessary 
hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Without proper hydrochloric acid breakdown of foods, the foods 
become too acidic.
     
LIVER
    The liver has over three hundred functions, including processing acid toxins from the blood 
and producing numerous alkaline enzymes for the system and is your first line of defense against 
any poisons. All the nourishment obtained through the gastrointestinal tract enters the blood by 
way of the liver. The load on the liver is much heavier when acid waste products are constantly 
floating in the blood. If the liver becomes too congested with protein acid wastes, death is 
imminent.
     
PANCREAS
    The pancreas is highly dependent on correct alkaline diet. All aspects of pancreatic function 
reduce excess acidity and regulate blood sugar balance. To have proper blood sugar balance, you 
must maintain a primarily alkaline-forming diet.
     
SMALL INTESTINES
    The Peyer's Patches, in the upper portion of the small intestines are crucial to life. They 
are essential for proper assimilation of food and producing lymphocytes for the lymphatic 
system's wide ranging nodal network. They also produce large amounts of the enzyme "chyle", which
is a major alkalizing substance. The uninterrupted flow of chyle into the system is crucial. Too 
much acid waste production from acid-forming foods is a great burden on the Peyer's Patches, 
which lessens the production of chyle.
     
KIDNEYS
    In an adult, about 1 liter of blood per minute passes through the kidneys. By executing their
primary duty, the kidneys keep the blood alkaline and extract acid. Kidneys that are 
over-stressed with too much acidity create kidney stones, which are composed of waste acid cells 
and mineral salts that have become gummed together in a waste acid substance. Therefore, by 
reducing acid-forming products from entering the body, the chances are better that you can avoid 
this painful condition.

COLON
    The colon must be kept clean of accumulated acid wastes. Poisons collect on the colon walls 
and in cases of diarrhea or constipation will harden and reabsorb into the bloodstream. Good 
bowel action (complete elimination) must be done at least 2 times per day.
     
LYMPHATIC SYSTEM
    There are 600-700 lymph glands in the body. Lymph fluid carries nutrition to the cells and 
removes acid waste products. Lymph fluid flows best in an alkaline environment. When the body is 
overly acidic, it slows, creating one of the most chronic, long-term, life-threatening 
situations. Gradually, the lymph dries and begins to form very tiny to very large adhesions 
throughout the tissues. These adhesions can interfere not only with lymph fluid but with blood 
flow as well. Hindered lymph flow increases tissue acid storage. Not drinking enough purified 
water will also slow the lymph. Waste products from foods that are not properly digested are 
reabsorbed into general circulation via the lymphatic ducts of the small intestine. In addition, 
bowel movements that do not completely clear the body of its daily poisons are also reabsorbed.

HOW NEGATIVE EMOTIONS CREATE ACIDITY:
    Have you ever been so upset with someone or something that you get an upset stomach? All 
negative emotions create an acidic environment. Have you ever heard anyone say you are letting 
your problems "eat away at you" or "get the best of you"?
 
Fear is the underlining cause of most disease. It will undermine your life and your health. Fear 
causes anger. Anger causes hate. Hate will consume you with continual suffering. Love and 
understanding cleanse and heal the body creating an alkaline environment within you.


Note about Pharmaceutical Drugs:

As far as acids are concerned, the only things more acid than protein are pharma drugs, ALL of 
them. Most drugs are alkaloids that, as with protein, contain nitrogen. These drugs have to be 
converted first to their corresponding strong acid, nitric acid in this case, and then to the 
mineral salt, sodium, potassium or calcium nitrate before they can be excreted.

Aspirin, Motrin, all such anti-inflammatory medicines for arthritis, make the arthritis worse in 
the long run. This is so because the aspirin and the rest are alkaloids that are converted to 
strong acids in their excretion. Strong acids don't help joints and aching bones. When the body 
can't deal with the excess acids we consume, one of the places these acids are stored is in the 
joints. Fluid taken from a swollen joint is always acid.

Coffee is a drug, herbal medicines are drugs. All substances that have alkaloids as their active 
ingredients are drugs. Pharmaceutical drugs are essentially synthetic alkaloids.
