The body maintains a delicate acid-alkaline balance. Everything from healthy cells to cancer cells to soil quality and ocean life is affected by pH.
Proper pH varies throughout your body for many reasons. For example, your bowels, skin and vagina should be slightly acidic–this helps keep unfriendly bacteria away.
Saliva is more alkaline. While your urine is normally more acidic, especially in the morning.
In addition, your body regularly deals with naturally occurring acids that are the by-products of respiration, metabolism, cellular breakdown, and exercise.
By far the most important measurement is your blood. For optimal cellular health, your blood pH must be slightly alkaline with a pH between 7.365 and 7.4. A basic understanding of how our bodies maintain an alkaline blood range is important for good health. Your body doesn’t just find the balance it works extremely hard to create it.
Most people are bathing their cells in an inflammatory acid bath multiple times per day with tons of sugar, processed foods, and factory farmed animal products.
One of the biggest casualties of that type of diet is the toll it takes on the body, especially the digestive system, liver, and kidneys. Inflammation, allergies, arthritis, skin problems, constipation, bowel issues, stress (physical & mental) and chronic disease like cancer absolutely love this diet.
Excess acidity also sets the stage for bad bacteria (like yeast and fungus) and even viruses that wreak havoc on our health.
Therefore, maintaining pH balance is one of the important tools to optimizing your health.

So true that’s why I drink Alkalyzed water regularly! Love my Enagic Water system…so glad I don’t need to go to the store to buy it, right out of my tap!

Squeeze lime in your drinking water every time. It greatly helps especially with our modern acidic based diet. (lime or citrus is actually alkaline in the body) Apple Cider vinegar as well – the ONLY alkaline based vinegar – consume this daily with sliced raw onions. the cider neutralizes the sulfur taste of the onions so its good eating.
Cut sugars, starches, and meats ( my weakness) 🙁
Which is brought on by eating meat ! Meat is acidic , our bodies are alkaline , veg is alkaline !

This is deliberately misleading. Otto Warburg’s Nobel was for his “discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme”.

His hypothesis on cancer have proved nothing, and have themselves not been proved. There is pre-clinical work being done, but nothing with enough substance to be the seen as proof by any rational person. Which is why you will not hear about it from doctors.
The work being done may result in a treatment for cancer, but at this stage it may just as easily not result in anything useful.
