Alkalize or Die is a valuable
resource to have in your home. It lists an almost complete list of
foods with their corresponding acid or alkaline forming potential.
We use it as a great reference source in sticking to the 80/20
alkaline/acid diet. You can order you copy of this treasure from the
Amazon link on this page. You simply won't get it any cheaper any
where else.
We encourage you to read each
and everyone of the quotes from Alkalize or Die on this on this page and see
what
Dr.
Baroody says about how acid wastes causes our organs and systems to
deteriorate by attacking them.
Acid Waste Accumulation Attacks Your Organs
"The countless names attached to
illness do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come
from the same root cause ....too much tissue acid waste in the body!
Unfortunately, waste acids that are not eliminated when they should
be reabsorbed from the colon into the liver and put back into
general circulation. They then deposit in the tissues. It is these
tissue residues that determine sick-ness or health!
Discover what tissue acid wastes are present and begin the process
of alkalizing yourself, thus ridding them from the body -- the
result being superior health, energy and strength to enjoy life
fully." page 15
"Therefore in my opinion, acid wastes literally attack the joints,
tissues, muscles, organs and glands causing minor to major
dysfunction. If they attack the joints, you might develop arthritis.
If they attack the muscles, you could possibly end up with
myofibrosis (aching muscles). If they attack the organs and glands,
a myriad of illness could occur." page 20
Acids Attack The Heart
"The
heart is one of the most alkaline dependent organs in the body. It
is partly innervated by the vagus nerve which functions best in an
alkaline environment. The heart pumps about 520 quarts of blood an
hour and about 13,000 quarts of blood a day. The blood, if not
toxin-free, puts a tremendous strain upon the heart. 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."

Acids Attack The Liver
"This diverse organ has some three hundred functions. Primarily it
processes acid toxins from the blood, produces numerous alkaline
enzymes for the system and is the first line of defense against any
poisons. In addition, 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.
Let this organ become too
congested with protein acid wastes and death is imminent. Therefore,
clean up the liver, the "river of life," by using the
alkaline-forming principles given in this book"
page 24
Acids Attack Pancreas
"The pancreas is highly dependent on correct alkaline diet. In return it produces alkaline digestive enzymes and sodium bicarbonate. All aspect of pancreatic function reduces excess acidity. The pancreas also regulates blood sugar balance which creates energy in body. Thus, to have proper blood sugar balance, maintain a primarily alkaline-forming diet." page 24
Acid Attack the Kidneys
"This diverse organ has some three hundred functions. Primarily it
processes acid toxins from the blood, produces numerous alkaline
enzymes for the system and is the first line of defense against any
poisons. In addition, 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.
Let this organ become too

Acids Attack The Small
Intestines
"
The small intestines performs many
functions and has many different parts necessary to health. Among
these are the all-important Peyer's Patches in the upper portion of
the small intestines which are crucial to life. They are essential
for proper assimilation of food throughout the system and supply an
important link between the autonomic and cerebrospinal nervous
system by producing lymphatic system's wide ranging nodal network.
Further, they produce large amounts of enzyme chyle. This is in my
opinion, the major alkalizing substance created in the physical
body. Thus, the uninterrupted flow of chyle into the system is
paramount. Too much acid
waste production from acid-forming foods is a great burden on the
Peyer's Patches and lessens the production of chyle.
The way these vital lymphatic patches fare can determine the length
of our life. It might be stated thus: The more properly
functioning
Peyer's Patches we have, the longer we live. The fewer
we have, the greater our chance of leaving this world! It is noted
in autopsies that those of older years, and/or in a debilitated
condition, have a greatly reduced number of Peyer's Patches
remaining. " Page 25
Build Your Alkaline Reserve
"The great alkaline reserve is
the body's bank account. The body can call upon it anytime to
release alkaline elements for the neutralization of acid.
"Biochemically, the alkaline reserve acts as a buffer to maintain
proper balance in the blood. The blood works in very narrow
parameters and sickness quickly results if these are imbalanced.
When we ingest more alkaline-forming minerals than are needed at one
time, the remainder is stored in the body tissues for future use ...
money in the bank.
"After food is digested, it is carried to the tissues where it is
oxidized. The carbonic acid salts of the alkaline elements react
with the circulating acid, bind up the acid and release weak
carbonic acid. This weak carbonic acid is readily eliminated through
the lungs ac carbon dioxide and water. The mineral elements, both
alkaline and acid, are then set free. If the alkaline and acid
elements are freed simultaneously, the alkaline elements immediately
neutralize the acids. If not, the acids elements are neutralized by
the great alkaline reserve. Thus at all times there must be an
excess of alkali stored in the body as a reserve.
.....The alkaline reserve is only a back-up system with limited
quantity to keep you from constantly poisoning yourself with too
much acid-forming food. page 21
When there is overindulgence in acid-forming food (especially fried
processed foods) the body sickens. In its marvelous wisdom, the body
will make every possible effort to rebalance this transgression by
expelling as quickly as possible, all the acid-forming residues. But
when this alkaline reserve is depleted, death follows. page 22
The Alkaline Water Defense
"The newest concept in drinking water today
is electronically restructured alkaline water.
...This method yields alkaline drinking water and has another facet
that I find particularly interesting. It lowers the millivoltage of
the water. This means that the water molecule is reconfigured into a
lighter, simpler form that is definitely more alkaline product, but
there is a hertz frequency change that is beneficial." page 127
"I have administered over 5000 gallons of this water for about every
health situation imaginable. I feel that restructured alkaline water
can benefit everyone.
After years of very positive continuous clinical experimentation
with hundreds of clients using electronically-restructured alkaline
water, it is my opinion that
this technology will change the way in which all health care
providers and the public approach their health in the coming years.
Restructured water alkalizes by displacing acids and replacing
alkalines. The other health
benefit of restructured water is the imparted frequencies which are
not in distilled water. These frequencies assist in acid
displacement toward the elimination channels.
My suggestion is to drink
restructured
alkaline water whenever possible." The second choice is
distilled water with added trace minerals" page 126
Please notice that Dr. Baroody stated that trace minerals should
also be added to distilled water, an unnecessary step when drinking
mineral rich alkaline water. We highly recommend all our customers
getting this book.
