"Few people realize that herbal remedies
work much better when the patient's pH is balanced."
Dr. Ralph Weiss, N.D.
"There is little difference between
plants and higher animals (including humans) when it comes to pH balance.
We know from 30 years of research that the optimal pH of plant tissue
fluid is 6.4. A pH imbalance, caused by acidic dietary inputs,
will result in diseased states - in
both plants and animals."

How Western Civilization
Fell Prey to Mild Acidosis
Cancers thrive in an acidic environment --
not an alkaline one. What's more, cancer isn't the only degenerative disease
to share this characteristic.
"Modern civilization has made more changes to
the pH of the diet of homo sapiens in the last forty years
than it has in the previous forty thousand. . . And it's all acidic. . ."
It's a simple fact, seemingly tangential
to any of the central issues surrounding any of the most recognized
therapies used in the cancer field today. But it isn't. The adjustment
of pH from acidic (5.8 and lower) to a more neutral (though slightly
acidic) pH of around 6.4, is considered critical by many clinicians.
The fact is, many alternative cancer care practitioners have been
talking about the gradual shift to more acidic foods, including
an epidemiological state of mild acidosis that has caused an increase
in not just cancer, but also MS and diabetes.
The "acid shift" is well-known
and documented, as Westerners have moved more towards processed foods,
and away from a diet of fresh foods. The fact is, modern civilization
has made more changes to the pH of the diet of homo sapiens in the
last forty years than it did in the previous forty thousand -- and,
in the name of "shelf stability," it is all acidic.
"The explosion in the use of food-grade acidulents
was completely predictable: there is not a single preservative
that doesn't work more effectively in an acidic substrate."
Processed foods, especially those
that contain water in the 15-50% range (called "intermediate moisture"
foods by food technologists), all require preservatives. The explosion
in the use of food-grade acidulents, including citric, phosphoric,
malic, tartaric, and lactic acids, was completely predictable: there
is not a single preservative that doesn't work more effectively in
an acidic substrate. In fact, there is not one single food-grade
preservative approved by a Western food and drug agency that will
work better in a neutral or alkaline environment than it will in
an acidic one. The most popular antimicrobial preservatives in use,
including all sorbates, benzoates, proprionates, parabens, nitrates,
and their salts -- all of them -- all require pH ranges that are
well below 4.0 to work optimally. This isn't speculation: it's
hornbook food science. Acidulents are everywhere:
every can of soda pop, every IM snack product, every jar of tomato
sauce, every loaf of bread. Two hundred years ago most of these
acidulents weren't even chemically identified, let alone put into
use. Today they are ubiquitous. They have thoroughly infiltrated
the food supply.
None of this is to suggest
that most of these preservatives (most of them are fatty acids, so
they're acidic, too) or the acidulents used to make them work
better and acidify foods, are inherently harmful. Except for
nitrates, there is no credible research to show that approved
preservatives are harmful. It is not the preservatives themselves
that are harmful. It is the acidic metabolic environments that
acidulents and preservatives create in the absence of more
alkaline food stuffs that do the damage.
Clinicians who understand
the importance of pH balance will often have their patients
measure the pH of urine and saliva over several days to see
if it is imbalanced. The best time to do this is upon
arising in the morning -- well before breakfast.
Cancer patients are almost never found
to have a pH that is not considerably more acidic than the mean.
(One doctor has told us that his cancer patients measure an
average of about 5.6, and normal, healthy patients measure
about 6.4. This is significant when we take into account that
the pH scale is logrithmic: 5.0 is 100 times more acidic than
6.0).
In the main article
(at right) we discuss how pH ties together several different
therapies and could help us explain other disease states
that appear to be unique in their frequency starting in
the early-to-mid 1900's and continuing to the present.
We have much research
yet to do, but a clear picture is beginning to emerge:
you cannot strongly acidify the diet of an entire civilization
without seeing a dramatic upsurge in acid-related disorders.
And a correlation
between both now appears evident -- and, indeed, historic.

he
companion to our H3O Concentrate,
the HRx Hydroxide Concentrate draws from the same
proprietary technology, only it carries entirely different
uses. Whereas H3O is a super pure,
non-corrosive acid, HRx is its alkaline counterpart.
The HRx concentrate measures about pH 13.5 -- so it should be
violently caustic, and yet it is not. Coming from the same
technology as H3O, this is not surprising...
Since so much of Alpha Omega
Lab's work has centered around cancer, (accelerated by our work
in third world countries where people cannot afford conventional
treatment to begin with), this became our starting point.
Early in our work with
HRx, it became apparent that it had dramatic potential
in overall nutrition, particularly for those suffering from
most types of cancer; adult diabetes; and possibly muscular
dystrophy. Our suspicions were entirely theoretical.
We were aware, for instance, that
many of those who view cancer as a "nutrient deficiency" disorder -- even those
who concur with the polymorphic microorganism theories of
Antoine Bechamp, Royal Rife, and others; or such etiological
theories as "parasitic carcinogenesis" (i.e. Hulda Clarke)
-- acknowledge the harmful role of pH imbalance.
Genius is not required to acknowledge the
obvious: cancers cannot grow or even survive in an alkaline,
or even a neutral, pH environment. They require acidity.
In working with the inventors of HRx, we came to understand
that if you made ordinary drinking water with it regularly, bringing
the "water" to a pH of approximately 9.0, and you drink it,
the pH of saliva and urine samples will reflect values in
the 6.4 to 7.0 range -- not 5.2 to 5.9. This meant that
HRx indisputably brought the entire circulatory system,
and therefore the organ tissues through which the blood passes,
into less acidic pH ranges. But the next question was not
so easy to answer: is there really much significance in
making the body less acidic? And does this observation,
now confirmed after four years of use, bring any relief to
a patient who has a disease that is created because
of mild acidosis to begin with? In other words, so what
if acidosis brought on the cancer -- will reversing the acidosis
benefit the patient now that the cancer process is already
in place? And what about the many other maladies that,
in whole or in part, are aggrevated, if not created, as
a result of a pH imbalanced physiology biased to acidity?
Even at this writing,
we do not have enough empirical evidence, let alone
well-constructed longitudinal studies, to support
conclusive findings, despite some of the miraculous anecdotal
comments we have received. What we can rely on is the clinical
findings of doctors we have consulted in several countries --
physicians we know and respect. And this is what we know:
The effectiveness
(putting aside any toxicological issues for a moment) of the
leading alternative cancer treatments in use today, in part,
draw their efficacy from the fact that they mildly adjust
the pH upward. These include: (1) hydrogen peroxide
(H2O2) therapy, (2) ozone therapy, (3) cesium,
and (4) coral water or coral powder. Improperly
handled, all three can be quite toxic when used
internally. We know through experimentation that none of
these will bring as quick a change in pH balancing as will
HRx. (Enthusiasts of bio-oxidative therapies will
be quick to point out, however, that in the case of
hydrogen peroxide and ozone, it is the
oxygenation and not the pH balancing, that are behind
the benefits, since cancers cannot survive in aerobic
environments, either.)
With this working
knowledge in hand, we now feel confident to recommend the
following as a nutritional support adjunct to
our internal Cansema products (Caps
and Tonic III; and our
CanSupport Nutritional Support
product lines, as well as a general purpose pH balancing
program:
- Add 2 fluid ounces (that's 4 Tablespoons, or about 60 ml.) to each gallon
(4 quarts, or 3.785 liters) of purified water. Distilled
water is optimal. Pro rate accordingly.
- Use this solution
for drinking water; for coffee and tea; and for cooking.
Try to consume not less than 64 fl. oz. (2 quarts, or
roughly 1.6 liters) per day. This concludes all uses:
drinking "water," reconstituted beverages, cooking, etc. --
wherever and however you consume it orally. WHEN you
take the prepared solution is important, too: in order
to allow the digestive acids of the G.I. tract to properly
digest your food, it is best to take the solution, or
any beverages you make with the hydroxide solution,
between meals. You probably want to allow at least
45 minutes between the time you take beverages and
your next meal time. If you use the solution in the
preparation of meals (i.e. in cooked meals), use it
sparingly and in not more than one meal per day.
- Monitor your pH with the strips that are provided. A good system
recommended by some clinicians is to measure the pH of
the saliva and urine and divide by two. Take your
daily measurement upon getting up in the morning, before
breakfast. If you measure at other times of the day,
particularly after meals, you will get skewed results.
- Keep a log of these daily measurements.
- As your pH measurements move higher, closely monitor
the results. You are looking to be in the range of
6.4 to 6.6 average. From this point forward, go
with a "maintenance program" of "two days on, two days
off" with your HRx Solution, or "as needed" to
keep you, at the least, above an average pH of 6.2.
- That's all there is to it. If you still have questions,
just email us.
