Dear Natural Healing House Friends,
The body should be slightly alkaline in order to build an alkaline reserve for acid-forming conditions such as stress, lack of exercise, or poor dietary habits. The most alkaline-producing foods are fruits, vegetables, sprouts, cereal grasses, and herbs. Food such as meat, fish, poultry, eggs, most dairy, most grains and legumes, refined sugars, drugs and chemicals are acid forming. When the body is too acidic as a result of these foods, candida, harmful bacteria, and viruses proliferate. This is especially the case with arthritic and rheumatic conditions.
When foods are metabolized, acids are produced which are neutralized by the alkaline salts (carbonates) of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Therefore, our intake of these mineral salts affects our acid/alkaline balance, as does the type of food we eat. Foods containing large amounts of chlorine, phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen (most animal products) tend to be acid-forming. Those rich in calcium. potassium, magnesium, and sodium, (most vegetables) tend to be alkaline-forming. Nearly all fresh fruit, vegetables, and legumes are alkaline-forming.
The over-acid person is grouchy, sensitive, and exhausted, inclined to aches and pains, headaches, problems with sleeping, and acidity of the stomach. When excessive amounts of acid can't be buffered, due to a lack of alkaline reserves, the gastric secretions of the parietal cells diminish and bile becomes acidic, and pancreatic enzymes become ineffective at breaking down food into micronutrients. The acidification and resulting congestion of bile results in a blockage of the liver's ability to detoxify as well as lymphatic congestion. The resultant biliary impairment may result in an insufficiency of pancreatic enzyme and insulin production that results in exhaustion of one or more endocrine glands, low blood sugar, diabetes and many other degenerative disorders.
In addition to eating an alkaline diet, we recommend supplementing with ALKABASE for those needing to reverse acidosis.
We also recommend LacticPlus drops, which have an energetic effect on the body's internal biological terrain and promotes a healthy acid-base balance. It is commonly combined with Dalektro N and the two other homaccord remedies CitriPlus and FormiPlus.This remedy also stimulates proper metabolic processes throughout the body to help ensure that waste products are excreted efficiently and to prevent illness.
In addition, L(+) lactic acid is good for the skin and bowels, and is particularly useful in treating psoriasis. It also improves mitochondrial respiration by up to 350% (the mitochondria is the energy-producing organelle of the cell), which helps enhance athletic performance.
One of the biggest causes of acidity is our negative thoughts and emotions. For this reason we recommend PSY-STABIL to help cope with the excess stress and anxiety of our modern lifestyle.
