The Cause Of Most Disease
- By:James Harris
Most diseases ravaging our communities have one common cause. More and more doctors herbalists and nutritionists believe that the cause – and the solution – come down to three words: ACID ALKALINE IMBALANCE. More and more doctors and therapists are seeing the light and recommending alkaline water.
“ALKALIZE THE BODY”
The concept of acid/alkaline imbalance as the cause of disease isn’t a new one. One of the first persons who talked about the need to alkalize the body was the great “Sleeping Prophet”, himself, Edgar Cayce. Mr. Cayce would always refer to body detoxification with herbs, colonics, fasting, massage, steam baths and diet modification with the aim of alkalizing the body.
“ALL DISEASE IS THE SAME”
In 1933 Dr. William Howard Hay published a groundbreaking book, A New Health Era in which he maintained that all disease is caused by autotoxication (or “self-poisoning”) due to acid accumulation in the body. Here is what he said:” Now we depart from health in just the proportion to which we have allowed our alkalis to be dissipated by introduction of acid-forming food in too great amount.
“THE COUNTLESS NAMES…DO NOT MATTER”
More recently, in his remarkable book Alkalize or Die; Dr. Theodore A. Baroody says essentially the same thing: “The countless names of illnesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause…too much tissue acid waste in the body!”
“POTENTIALLY HARMFUL INVADERS…WILL HAVE NOWHERE TO GROW”
Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD, in his book, The pH Miracle says it this way:
“Those willing to look again, and with clear eyes, will be rewarded with the secrets to permanent health. We can heal ourselves by changing the environment inside our bodies. Potentially harmful invaders, then, will have nowhere to grow and will become harmless.”
“DRINKING FOUR TO SIX GLASSES OF ALKALINE WATER A DAY WILL HELP TO NEUTRALIZE OVERACIDITY”
Dr. Susan Lark, University lecturer and author of The Chemistry Of Success, says: “Drinking four to six glasses of alkaline water a day will help to neutralize over acidity and over time will help to restore your buffering ability. Alkaline water should be used when conditions of over acidity develop, such as cold, flu or bronchitis. Like vitamins C, E and Beta Carotene, alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of its excess supply of free electrons. This can help the body against the development of heart disease, strokes, immune dysfunctions, and other common ailments.”
“(THE WORLD) SHOULD READILY AGREE TO THE USE OF IONIZED ALKALINE WATER AS AN ANTIAGING AGENT.”
Arthur M. Ecano, MD says that..”if the world has accepted antioxidants to slow down the aging process, it should readily agree to the uses of ionized alkaline water as an antiaging agent. Their roles are closely linked and intertwined such that a lasting antiaging program is incomplete without addressing both free radicals and organic acid wastes.”
“ALKALINE WATER HAS PROFOUND LONG TERM EFFECTS BECAUSE IT ALKALIZES YOUR BODY AND PROVIDES AN EFFECTIVE ANTIOXIDANT”.
David Niven Miller, anti-aging expert and author of Grow Youthful, “Increasing your consumption of good quality purified or filtered alkaline water can transform your health and play a central role in the healing of virtually all degenerative diseases. Alkaline water has profound long-term effects because it provides and effective antioxidant.
“ALKALINE WATER RIDS THE BODY OF ACIDIC WASTES.”
Felicia Drury Kliment author of the acid alkaline balance diet affirms the need to rid ourselves of acid wastes: “After carefully evaluating the results of my advice to hundreds of individuals, I’m convinced that toxicity in the form of acidic waste is the primary cause of degenerative disease. Unfortunately the national obsession with nutrional supplements obscures the vital role played by the excretion of acidic toxins in normalizing organ function…
“ALKALINE WATER IS A GREAT WAY TO NEUTRALIZE AND FLUSH OUT ALL THE TOXINS AND ACIDS.”
Daniel Reid, Author of “The Tao of Detox “ says: “drinking alkaline water is a great way to neutralize and flush out all of the toxins and acids that drain from the tissues and bodily fluids, and to quickly rehydrate the body and keep the blood alkaline.”
“THE AGING PROCESS CAN BE REVERSED.”
Harald Tietze, author of “Youthing” says “by drinking alkaline water, the aging process can be reversed and the wastes can be reduced in the long-term to a level of a much younger person. The functions of the organs can be revived.”
”OUR PETS NEED DETOXIFICATION”
Randy Kidd, DVM, PHD, author of Gut Feelings in The Whole Dog Journal
“Our world has become laden with toxins, many of which are carcinogens. Our dogs are exposed to an even higher toxic load than we are; their noses are constantly sniffing the ground, where toxins accumulate. We throw even more toxins into the mix every time we use pesticides or medications to kill internal parasites, and when we feed them foods heavy with artificial preservatives, colors, and flavors. By the time they are a few years old, our pets have been so exposed to the plethora of toxins that exist in their (and our) world, I think every holistic, long-term health maintenance protocol needs to include an entry period of detoxification” .
