Some friend previously commented on the stubbornness of alkaline pH believers: these people have taken this classic quackery - the teaching of some false science to a whole new level, that they held such false teaching firm as RELIGION. Trying convincing them with scientific theory and evidences is like futile laboring to convert believers of false religion.
Question:
"**** has stage 4 nsclc lung cancer with mets to liver. She is on the whole body diet monitoring her body ph. This last week it has been around 6-6.5 instead of 7.3 or 7.4 where cancer cells can't survive. She has not yet started her treatment yet so chemo would not be the reason. Her diet is strict. No sugar, meat, dairy and not even grains at this point. Only green vegetables and limon water and green tea. She has paniced and thinks that she will die if she does not get that ph up. Does anyone on this site have any ideas as to what she can do? I am trying to take care of her but don't know what else to do."
my answer:
if your true body pH drops to 6-6.5, you are dead!
You can play with urine pH by changing diet, but your physiological /blood /body pH stays constant or you go onto kidney dialysis or die.
Apparently she seeks only endorsement of her belief:
"I read "Cancer A Second Opinion" by Josef Issels, MD as well as The Anti Cancer Diet by another MD,( gave the book back and don't have his name). Also, read this book online, "Alive and Well" Dr. Philip Binzel. All three of these doctors talk about the body ph and how it contributes to the beginning of cancer. I would recommend these books to anyone who has gone through chemo/rad and now are trying to keep the cancer in remission. Had I not read these books and the success stories of real live people who cured the remaining cancer left in their bodies with this diet change I would still be in pure hell over this news of my **** with stage 4 lung cancer..."
my answer:
it is not a crime to be ignorant - we all are from time to time, but it is a sin to come out in public spreading quack theory and misleading beliefs. A bodily pH of 6-6.5???? He or she would be deader than an ancient mummy!!!!
You can try to read as many MD or PhD books, but what you really need to pick up is some middle and high school science basics. [is there a nicer way to say this?]
Otto Warburg discovered many decades ago that cancer prefers anaerobic metabolism even in the presence of abundant oxygen supply - the result is an accumulation of lactic acid, and lowering of pH in cancer cells, this in turn leads to necrosis, hypoxia and invasive phenotype of cancer.
So, yes, cancer causes lower local pH (not body or systemic pH), but NOT the other way around. You can develop life-threatening metabolic acidosis by totally different mechanism, but such acidosis does not cause cancer!
A healthy balanced vegetarian diet helps prevent, slow the progression of, cancer, NOT because such diet raises your body pH;
A meat packed, sugar-sweet, hormone rich, fiber-less, imbalanced diet hurts your chance to survive cancer, NOT because it lowers your bodily pH.
