What does pH mean in the body?

What does pH mean?

The power of Hydrogen. Hydrogen is a main element of our atomic signature of our physical body. This pH is basically a simple measure of the alkalinity and acidity of our cells. The normal scale is 0-14 with 7 being considered neutral. We are striving to keep ourselves around the 7 mark.

Some symptoms of acidity:

blood sugar challenges
lack of energy
skin issues
acid reflux
indigestion
fungal problems
inflammation (cells, joints)
constipation
headaches
stiffness
stress
fat accumulation
diseases


What causes acidity?

1) Poor food choices and ingestion of same (processed sugars, simple carbs, pesticides etc)


2) This leads to poor assimilation and creates more acid/alkaline imbalance

3) This leads to poor elimination which creates re-absorption of toxins

4) This creates biological terrain suitable for yeast, Candida, fungi proliferation and they in turn continue to create more acidity (toxins)

5) More acid we become, the more yeast, fungi are created that rob us of nutrients and create more toxins

6) The higher the toxic load, the more our cells become compromised and the less efficient the body becomes, the more ailments we have…

7) The less oxygen we have in our cells and the more carbon dioxide we have. Even Earth has the same issue!

8) The less oxygen we have, the greater our brain fog

9) The greater the brain fog, the less we are able to use our thinking mind in a positive manner and our thoughts become toxic

10) Toxic thoughts lead to acid puddles in the nerves!


Cellular acidity and alkalinity, when in balance, offer us vitality and health. Each cell in our body has both a positive and a negative charge to it. On the inside of our cell the biological terrain is acid and holds a positive charge. The outside of the cell is alkaline and holds a negative charge. Our body tries to maintain its balance and excretes excess through the kidneys (urine) and sweat is another avenue used.
If the acid levels are too high the body will not be able to excrete the excess and must either store it in fat or buffer it with minerals from organs and bones to neutralize it. This acid state of the cells causes inflamation and when the cells are inflamed, the body is challenged to drop fat and to heal.

The first urine sample in the morning will more than likely be a little more acidic than later in the day because the kidneys have been working with the rest of the body to expel the excess acid and it has been accumulating in the bladder. Having said that please note that in a balanced body the strip should not read less than 6.5 and is preferable to have the strip read 6.75 in the morning. This is a metabolic reading and is indicative of the health of the cells and the body’s ability to metabolize and neutralize acids. The second urine sample on arising should have a neutral reading of 7. A composite reading over time will allow a better indication of the health of the body as no single reading is a very good indication of overall acid/alkaline state. Maintaining a 6.5 to 7.5 ratio is the optimum range where the body can absorb nutrients (from air, food, water) to restores itself.

It is a very simple formula really. If we do not know who we are as energy first and as a physical body (matter), then we will not see/accept the relationship and relevance of clean air, organically grown foods (bio-organic is the best) and clean mineral rich water to our health of our thinking mind, loving emotions, Spirit senses and of our physical body. Until we are willing to know who we are, we are challenged to change. all change begins in the mind and I feel is translated into the pH balance of our cells. This is a reflection of the internal balance of our dual Soul mind and emotions.

toxicity ...

I have been thinking about toxicity a lot of late and what it all means. My next class is on toxicity and symptoms of same and a cleansing program using the foods of nature as one focus of the program. So because of this my awareness is heightened as to what others are saying/offering. I have noticed a lot of people offering “detox diets” and supplements to assist in detoxifying the body of accumulated “toxins” that run the chemical gamut of “foreign to our chemical physical design.” What this shows me is that people have awareness that we are polluting ourselves and coming up with all sorts of combinations of chemicals to assists our detoxifying process. I feel that a lot of these supplements are actually adding to our toxic overload and fleshing out some pockets at the same time. They also have not, to my mind, connected our thoughts, emotions and senses to the quality and quantity of the air, food and water and our health. They have externalized, and therefore separated, their thinking and their proposed “solutions.”

As a society, we are “hemorrhaging” and we are all focusing externally on developing the best and most elaborate band aide money can buy. Very few are recognizing that we are the problem and we have to ask ourselves why and what is causing the problem in the first place. Very few recognize that when we separate ourselves from quality and quantity of Nature, Earth and Universe that we separate ourselves from our health and love of life…of living. We are living in a cesspool that we have created. We have trashed Earth and poisoned the soil and then we wonder why we are having health issues. Once again I just have to say “Duh!”

Toxicity of our cells, of our mind, of Nature, Earth and even the Universe are not separate. We share a chemical pattern. Let me begin with the Universe and our unconscious dumping into space all unwanted hardware...not to mention the energy of negative thoughts! Think of all the space debris we have “left” there from our various forays into space….not to mention the tearing of the fabric of space in the process, but that is another story. We have countless aged, dead, dying satellites orbiting around in the magnetic field of Earth. What does all this “foreign” metal do to the electro-magnetic energy field of Earth? I have to wonder if this debris that we have so cavalierly abandoned to space is not also impacting the energy field of space. How? I do not know exactly. I know that we are a fractal pattern of the Universe so I think of being a chemical consciousness (or unconsciousness) and knowing that we ALL are electro-magnetic (chemical) energy, each with its own energy field. I reflect on how my energy field can be distorted dramatically from how I am thinking and the emotions I am using and externally from the electro-pollution that abounds in “normal” living and it can be a challenge to maintain my balance on all levels. With this stream of thinking I find it an easy move to extrapolate my energy field (from my thoughts and emotions and senses) out to interact with Nature, Earth and the Universe and to see that nothing is separate. ALL IS.

We are a combination of the chemicals of space (and our DNA pattern differs by .1% from a banana and rocks from Mars showing yet again how we are a part of the Whole) so continuing on with this train of thought, it stands to reason that as we are affected from external pollution, then so to must the Universe and Earth also be impacted, maybe not to the same degree, but impacted nevertheless. So that is one level to look at. There is Earth’s wobble that is noted by scientists, and I am surprised someone doesn’t just look at it all and say “Duh!” and then set about cleaning up the mess and begin to clear up the orbiting debris. The same goes for Earth and Nature. We have polluted Earth so horribly inside and out (from space debris, to burying toxic waste in the Earth and dumping into our oceans. Nothing has escaped our ignorance) that Nature is challenged to grow well and we eat from Nature so it should be no surprise as to why we have so much disease and basic unhappiness going on! How can we be healthy and happy when our chemical supply (from Earth and Nature) is so polluted? We are only as healthy and happy (shows in dynamic, expansive electro-magnetic energy field) as the food, air and water we take in. Food, air and water are from Nature, Earth and the Universe. So once again we see the inseparability of everything.

So how does all this apply to toxicity of our cells? I am getting to that. I felt I had to go around the Universe to get here. I am trying to allow my mind to go and I am learning to trust (as apposed to judge and control) my thoughts. We can see our interdependence on the Universe, Earth and Nature to the quality and quantity of the air we breath, the water we drink and the foods we eat, and these all have a direct influence to the state of our health; mental, emotional and physical. In a simple test of the pH of our urine we can see where our cellular health is. When our body become too acidic…read toxic!, then we are compromising all systems. When our cells become too acidic, all systems become stressed, our energy drops, and fat begins to accumulate in an effort to “protect” vital organs and acts as storage for toxins in the body. This toxic load stresses everything and just like the wobble in Earth’s rotation, our point of balance is very wobbly at this point. A toxic body/mind is ripe for dis-ease, disease, excess fat, stressed cardio-vascular systems, fungus, bacteria, virus become opportunistic and blood sugar challenges abound. This is just a glimpse of what can happen to us. Of course you could come to class and learn more of the symptoms, cravings and what to do about it all J.
Until next time…go well into this very good day.
