THE pH REGULATORY
SYSTEM OF THE BODY
The pH balance
of the human bloodstream is recognized by all medical physiology texts
as one of the most important biochemical balances in all of human body
chemistry.
pH is the acronym for "Potential Hydrogen". In definition, it is the
degree of concentration of hydrogen ions in a substance or solution. It
is measured on a logarithmic scale from 0 to 14. Higher numbers means a
substance is more alkaline in nature and there is a greater potential
for absorbing more hydrogen ions. Lower numbers indicate more acidity
with less potential for absorbing hydrogen ions.
Our body pH is very important because pH controls the speed of our
body's biochemical reactions. It does this by controlling the speed of
enzyme activity as well as the speed that electricity moves through our
body.
The higher (more alkaline) the pH of a substance or solution, the more
electrical resistance that substance or solution holds. Therefore,
electricity travels slower with higher pH.
All biochemical reactions and
electrical (life) energy
are under pH control.
If we say something has an acid pH,
we are saying it is hot and fast. As an example, look at
the battery of your car. It's an acid battery. On cold days you want it
to be hot and ready, and you want your car to start fast.
Alkaline pH on the other hand, biochemically
speaking, is slow and cool. Compare it to an alkaline
battery in a flashlight. You want that battery to be cool, and to burn
out slowly.
Here is an example of how pH can control. Look around you at society in
general. Do you see people getting exhausted, burned out, and quick to
anger? Do you see a rise in violence? In part it could be due to the
fact that people today lean to an acid pH. As a society we are running
hot and fast. How did we get there? We guzzle coffee for breakfast
(acid), burgers for lunch (acid), wash it down with king size colas
(acid), and have a pizza (acid) for dinner. In fact, with this scenario,
you could easily correlate the rise of violence in our society with the
increasing number of fast food restaurants on every corner. But I
digress. However, this does lead me to the second part of the pH and
digestive metabolic equation. pH is under the

direct
control of what we put into our mouths. Kind of makes sense doesn't it?
What we eat and drink will impact where our body's pH level falls, and
our body's pH will control the activity of every metabolic function
happening in our body.
pH is behind the body's electrical system and intracellular activity as
well as the way our bodies utilize enzymes, minerals, and vitamins. That
is why pH is one of the first things to be looked at if you are
experiencing unbalance in your body in any way, shape, or form. And
since our body's pH level is a direct result of what we eat and drink,
anytime we are experiencing imbalance, we need to look at what we have
historically been eating and drinking because this impacts our pH. It's
a circle. You can't look at one without looking at the other.
What we eat and drink is directly tied to the functioning of our
digestive system. From our mouth through our small intestines and
through our colon, that system plays the most important part in our
physical well being. This system, what we feed it, and how it impacts
our pH, is the essential core that determines whether we have perfect
health or not. It is really so simple.
Now you may be thinking that all of this makes perfect sense. It is so
simple that you would think that modern medicine could look at it, put
two and two together and simply attempt to bring people back into
balance through the food that they eat.
Hippocrates said, "Let food be your
medicine.
Let medicine be your food."
If it were only so simple. Modern medicine has
gotten to where it is today in part through a scientific and
philosophical debate that culminated in the 19th century. On one side of
the debate was French microbiologist Antoine Bechamp. On the other side
was French microbiologist Louis Pasteur. Bechamp and Pasteur strongly
disagreed in their bacteriological theories. They argued heatedly about
who was correct. It was...
The Argument that Changed the Course
of Medicine.
Pasteur promoted a theory of disease that
described non-changeable microbes as the primary cause of disease. This
is the theory of monomorphism. This theory says that a
microorganism is static and unchangeable. It is what it is. Disease is
solely caused by microbes or bacteria that invade the body from the
outside. (This is the germ theory.)
Bechamp held the view that microorganisms can go through different
stages of development and they can evolve into various growth forms
within their life cycle. This is the theory of pleomorphism. He
discovered microbes in the blood which he called microzymas. These
microbes would change shape as individuals became diseased, and for
Bechamp, this was the cause of disease; hence disease comes from inside
the body.
Another scientist of the day, Claude Bernard, entered into the argument
and said that it was actually the "milieu" or the environment that is
all important to the disease process. Microbes do change and evolve, but
how they do so is a result of the environment (or terrain) to
which they are exposed. Hence, for Bechamp, microbes, being pleomorphic,
will change according to the environment to which they are exposed.
Therefore, disease in the body, as a biological process, will develop
and manifest dependent upon the state of the internal biological
terrain. At the core of that terrain, is pH.
Both men acknowledged certain aspects of each other's research, but it
Pasteur was the stronger, more flamboyant, and more vocal opponent when
compared to the quiet Bechamp. Pasteur also came from wealth and had the
right family connections. He went to great lengths to disprove Bechamp's
view. Pasteur eventually managed to convince the scientific community
that his view alone was correct. Bechamp felt that this diverted science
down a deplorable road - a road that held only half the truth.
On his deathbed, Pasteur finally acknowledged Bechamp's work and said,
"Bernard was correct: the microbe is nothing: the terrain is
everything." It was a 180 degree turnaround. With his death imminently
at hand, he as much as admitted that his germ theory had flaws. But his
admission fell on deaf ears. It was far too late. It could not reverse
the inertia of ideas that had already been accepted by mainstream
science at that time. Allopathic (drug based) medicine was firmly
entrenched on the road that was paved by Pasteur.
The result of that road is what you see today practiced as medicine.
When a body is out of balance, doctors attempt to put it back into
balance, first through drugs, then through surgery. The general effect
is to remove the symptoms, not to deal with the ultimate cause of the
ailment.
