Synopsis: ph
testing is one of the best methods of making daily progress measurements
in your healing progress. It is simple, inexpensive and meaningful.
PH testing is perhaps, the easiest and
most significant marker that you can use on a daily basis to constantly
monitor your healing process. One of the important properties of a
dietary approach to treating cancer relates to ph. My introduction to
alternative cancer treatment was through the subject of ph. I was told,
"Cancer and arthritis cannot grow in an alkaline body". This
was the advice that started me on the road to the cancer free state that
I now enjoy.
"pH" is chemical shorthand for
"hydrogen ion concentration" .. Less than 7 is acidic and more
that 7 is basic (alkaline). The most healthy ph is 7.0 or 7.2, which is
neutral to slightly alkaline.
PH paper is available from many sources.
It is readily available from health food stores for about $10 for a 15
foot long roll. Measurement is very easy. You simply tear a half inch
strip from the roll, wet it on the tip of your tongue, and compare the
color to the chart on the side of the box.
The most significant reading is taken in
the morning upon arising and before anything is eaten or drunk.
This will provide a daily reading of your healing process. If your body
is acid, it is not healing well.
Our bodies are made acid by two primary
causes, eating meat, and stress. In my case, if I deviate from a good
raw food and juice diet, my ph becomes immediately acid. A day or two on
a good diet, and I have a very healthy ph again. I know some
people who do not get good readings in the morning. They find that their
ph is much better in the afternoon when they haven't eaten or drunk
anything for two hours.
PH measurement is such a good indicator
of your progress in treating your cancer effectively that I recommend it
to you heartily.

Below is a portion of a report on TIAN
XIAN in the section below labeled "Other internal treatments"
According to the research of Dr.
Enderlein, total healing of chronic illness only takes place when and if
the blood is restored to a normal, slightly alkaline pH. It is of
incredible importance to someone who is fighting a disease,
overcoming an illness, or just desiring to feel better. What it means is
this...
Your Body pH Affects EVERYTHING. Human
blood stays in a very narrow pH range right around 7.3 (slightly
alkaline). Below or above this range means symptoms and disease.
When pH goes off, microorganisms in the
blood can change shape, mutate, become pathogenic, and thrive.
When pH goes off, ENZYMES that are constructive can become destructive.
When pH goes off, OXYGEN delivery to cells suffer. low oxygen
delivery to cells is a major factor in most if not all
degenerative conditions.
Two time Nobel laureate, Dr. Otto Warburg
of Germany, won his first Nobel Prize for his discovery of oxygen
deficiency in the CANCER growth process. As stated above, when pH
is off and our bodies are running more acid, our cells are getting
less oxygen. Cancer thrives under an acid tissue pH/oxygen
deficient environment. Is it any wonder today why cancer rates are up?

blood alkaline.

An excerpt from the book, The pH Miracle
by Robert O. Young, Ph.D.
From chapter one.
"The pH level of our internal fluids
effects every cell in our bodies. The entire metabolic process depends
upon an alkaline environment. Chronic acidity corrodes body tissue, and
if left unchecked will interrupt all cellular activities and functions,
from the beating of your heart to the neuron firing of your brain. In
other words, over acidity interferes with life itself."
Dr. Young continues in his book to
advocate the following steps:
Step 1: A transition period in which acid
foods are replaced with alkaline foods in the diet. He says that,
except in the case of severe disease which must be immediately and
drastically addresses, a slow change is more comfortable and is more
likely to be maintained.
Step 2: Cleansing for one week using some
supplements and a mild laxative.
Step 3: Follow a strictly alkaline diet
for seven weeks using nutritional supplements.
Step 4: Maintain your diet with 79% to
80% alkaline foods plus a full range of other healthful foods.
This book has a list of acid and alkaline
foods and a large selection of recipes and suggestions. It is one
of many resources that advocate the same kind of program which is
practiced in many alternative cancer treatment facilities.

Another interesting book is; Alkalize or Die, by Dr. Theodore A. Baroody.
In Chapter one, he describes the difficulty of getting an accurate pH
reading of the body by measuring the pH of urine, saliva, or other body
fluids. He also describes how a healthy regimen can cause these ph
measurements to indicate acid, as the healing process removes the acid
causing materials from the body.
In subsequent chapters, he describes the
extreme importance of the bodies careful regulation of ph by releasing
stored alkaline minerals to balance against the acid produced by an
improper diet. He gives recipes, menus and a wealth of other supporting
information.
He describes his 80% alkaline forming-20%
acid forming diet which is considered ideal to build health. In
researching successful alternative healing systems, he discovered
that all of them produce alkaline forming reactions in the diet. He
discusses the effects of stress, music, attitude, prayer, and other
factors in determining our acid-alkaline balance.This book is available

The subject of the importance of ph and
the ways to control it by alternative means are cutting edge science
which is not supported by universities, governments or drug companies.
If you believe, as I do, that the subject is of critical importance to
cancer patients, I encourage you to investigate, learn, and apply these
principles to your life.

while they are not free, the authors have done extensive research and
some have had experience with thousands of cancer patients!
During
the past 100 years, medical practice has been conformed to the restraints
brought about by legal intervention to exclude many former practices and to
limit therapies to those that conform to the standards of the FDA and other
agencies. Prior to this time, many alternative protocols were openly
available. Some of these treatments are highly effective but are illegal to
prescribe because they don't conform to the current legal requirements.
