The World Health Organization reports:
"Basically, you die earlier and spend more time disabled if you're an American rather than a member of most other advanced countries."
American doctors do a good job of diagnosing disease and prescribing medication, however, if you want to prevent or reverse disease, you often meet up with resistance or even ridicule. Often, the canned answer is, "You are getting older, learn to live with it." is not just the wrong attitude - it's wrong. Our health can be improved, dramatically.
It isn't necessarily their fault - they were taught to treat symptoms. The problem with that logic is - if you do not correct the cause of the disease, it will come back, often as a different and more debilitating illness. At some point, surgery may be recommended, however, we only have a certain number of body parts that we can live without. And, again, without correcting the problem, it will come back [even after surgery], in one form or another.
On the audio tape entitled "How to Become Your Own Best Doctor," Dr. Morgan Rogers shares his perspective on the failing medical system in America. He contrasts America's obsession on treating symptoms with other nations who use combined efforts to reverse disease by eliminating the cause.
Alkaline vs Acidic
The human body is composed of 78% water. The cells in the body are 98% water. The body fluids of healthy people are slightly alkaline while the same fluids of those who are sick are acidic, ranging from slightly acidic to extremely acidic. The degree of acidity significantly affects the body's own ability to prevent and/or reverse illness and disease [including degenerative diseases]. According to Dr. Mark Cochran, in his book The Secrets of pH Concerning Health and Disease, in order to avoid disease and premature aging, the body should remain in a slightly alkaline condition.
Our efforts to establish and maintain good health are often thwarted by our lack of knowledge. Frankly put, our problems stem from either one of two things [or a combination of both of them.]
- What we put into our bodies [by eating, drinking, breathing or absorbing, etc.] or
- What we are not taking in that we should [nutrients, vitamins, minerals, water, etc].
Whatever comes into contact with our skin or lungs is absorbed into the body within a matter of seconds. If the product causes acidity, the entire body responds. To achieve and maintain a healthy alkaline body, we must eat foods and use products that produce an alkaline body. In addition to eating properly, one of the best and most effective ways to accomplish this, is to use an effective detoxifying system.
The normal American diet consists of a lot of fast food, high in protein, fat, sugar and carbohydrates, which contributes to an overly acidic body. Another source of acid is soda. Soda has an acidic range around 2.5 pH [similar t battery acid]. It takes an incredible amount of "good" water to counteract the effects of soda. In other words, you may have to drink nearly 32 glasses of 7.0 pH water to eliminate the bad effects of 1 glass of soda. In addition to soda - coffee, caffeine, sugar and smoking all contribute to raising the acid levels in one's body, thereby contributing to many serious health problems.
It is important to understand that changing the body's pH does not cure disease, however, it allows the body to heal itself by ridding it of toxins and allowing the body to operate at its optimum ability, which is a key to achieving and maintaining good health. Creating an environment where our bodies can not only fight disease but thrive is not difficult, but it does require a bit of knowledge and considerable commitment. Learning about the alkaline - acid connection will give you the knowledge -- you will have to find the commitment from within.
Again, there are many ways to improve your body pH. One such line of products that seems to work well is Miracle II, which includes; soap, moisturizing soap, neutralizer, neuralizer gel, moisturizer, and deoderant. I personally use the Miracle 2 products and recommend the following website for more information or to make a purchase - www.miracle2ofutah.com. For the best Miracle II prices available, in your email or phone call to Bob Vance, let him know that you read about Miracle 2 products on ComPortOne.
