Symptoms of Acidosis
Due to fast paced daily lifestyles, eating on the run, people have to
face a constantly growing endangerment: the over-acidification
(Acidosis) of the body cells, which will interrupt cellular activities
and functions. It is a major root of sickness and disease. Having
our cells constantly exposed to an acidic environment leads to
Acidosis!
Studies have shown that an acidic, anaerobic (which is also the
lack of oxygen) body environment encourages the breeding of
fungus, mold, bacteria, and viruses. As a result, our inner
biological terrain shifts from a healthy oxygenated, alkaline
environment to an unhealthy acidic one (
acidic pH scale).
It is a lot of “hard work” for our body to neutralize and detoxify
these acids before they can act as poisons in and around the cells,
ultimately changing the environment of each cell.
When our body pH becomes more and more acidic it starts to set
up defense mechanisms to keep the damaging acid from entering
our vital organs.
Unhealthy conditions which can be caused directly by Over-
Acidification / Acidosis are:
  • Weight issues
  • Brittle hair and nails
  • Joint pain and Arthritis
  • Headaches
  • Acne
  • Osteoporosis
  • Low energy and Chronic fatigue
  • Allergies
  • Frequent colds
  • Bronchitis
  • Infections
  • Heart problems

  • Obesity
It is known that acid gets stored in fat cells. As a defense
mechanism, your body may actually produce fat cells to protect
you from your overly acidic condition. To protect itself from
potentially serious damage, the body creates these fat cells to
store the acids and carry them away from vital organs. Those fat
cells and cellulite deposits may actually keep acid wastes at a safe
distance from your vital organs. Many people have found that a
return to a healthy alkaline inner biological terrain helps them loose
excess fat.
  • Joint Pain and Arthritis
All substances left by the metabolizing process are acidic and
toxic; therefore these have to be neutralized by alkalizing elements,
e.g. calcium ions, sodium ions, and lithium ions, among which
calcium is the most important. Calcium ions are positively charged
ions which are constantly looking for acid, to form calcium
carbonate in our body. Calcium carbonate is harmless and will be
moved out of the body, providing our body fluid pH is alkaline.
Otherwise, it is being deposited around body joints. If the calcium
ion level is low in the blood and body, excess acid will remain in
our body and will lead to numerous health problems, like Join Pain
or Arthritis.
  • Osteoporosis
Many people think they can eliminate osteoporosis by increasing
their consumption of milk and dairy products. But in fact the
instances of osteoporosis are rare in countries where the
consumption of dairy products is very low. So osteoporosis is an
acidosis problem. As the body becomes more acidic, our body tries
to remain healthy to protect us against heart attacks, illness,
strokes or even cancer. In doing so, it takes calcium from the teeth,
bones and tissues, making them weak and brittle.
  • Underweight
Yeast and fungus produced in an acidic environment can feed on
our nutrients and thus reduce the absorption of everything we eat
by as much as 50%. Without protein the body can’t produce
enzymes, hormones or other chemical components necessary for
cell energy and organ activity. This causes people to become very
thin, which is not healthier than being overweight. As alkalizing and
oxygenating takes place, the body naturally begins to seek its own
ideal weight.
  • Low Energy and Chronic Fatigue
When having our cells constantly exposed to an overly acidic
environment our biological terrain's oxygen level drops, leaving us
tired and fatigued. This will allow parasites, fungus, bacteria, mold
and viral infections to flourish and gain a hold throughout the body.
  • Heart attack
If our internal biological terrain is exposed to excessive acidity,
bacteria and/or fungi and/or viruses can attach themselves to the
inner walls of arteries. This can attract white blood cells, causing
proteins and cells to clot. In this way a plaque forms in the artery,
thus narrowing the artery and restricting the flow of blood, nutrients
and oxygen to the tissues supplied by that artery. Should that
happen to the coronary artery, a heart attack can occur.
  • Allergies
The toxins produced within an acidic, oxygen deprived
environment as well as the absorption of undigested proteins is
major cause of allergy conditions. When the digestive system is
weakened, a wide range of allergic reactions can occur, e.g. food
allergies, and the overall susceptibility to allergens is increased.
  • Acne
There are many different forms of acne, and not few are linked to
an unhealthy diet. Especially foods that are highly acidic tend to
cause acne.
  • Frequent Colds, Bronchitis, Infections, Headaches
Only when our pH level is fairly balanced, the binding of oxygen to
the hemoglobin protein of our red blood cells in the lungs operates.
If the pH is too acidic, microbes in our respiratory systems can
grow much more easily, and in that way cause bronchitis,
pneumonia and sinusitis, and invade our cell system. This can
result in cough, bronchial spasms (asthma), colds, infections and
headaches.
