Are You Losing Your Mind?

Are you drinking carbonated water or sugary beverages? (This would include fruit juices, exotic fruit drinks and energy drinks with or without caffeine.) If you are, you are risking losing your mind!

Sugary acidic beverages are part of the American way of life, but five or more cans a day may raise the risk of lightheadedness, muddle thinking, dizziness, cold hands, cold feet, forgetfulness, foggy thinking, memory loss, and Alzheimer's dis-ease, according to a new study by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology.

The research team, using mice genetically predisposed to develop Alzheimer's-like symptoms, added a 10 percent solution of acidic sugar water to the diet of half the mice being tested. Over 25 weeks, the acidic sugar-water mice gained 17 percent more weight than the controls. They also developed insulin resistance and had a higher cholesterol count.

When tested for mental function, the acidic sugar-water mice scored lower on tests for memory retention and learning ability. Upon examination of their brains, they showed more than twice the amyloid acidic plaque deposits found in the controls. In the brains of humans with Alzheimer's, beta-amyloids are the sticky acidic proteins that form acid plaque deposits. A prior study in 2006 also connected obesity with Alzheimer's.

The researchers were not sure whether Alzheimer's symptoms were due to the acid sugar water itself or to the combination of more advanced acidic conditions like diabetes and obesity, which are known Alzheimer's risk factors. They said, however, that the study highlights the "potential risk of sugary beverages."
The amount of acid sugar water fed to the mice is roughly equivalent to humans drinking five cans of soda a day. The researchers said, "Although since mice have a higher metabolism, it may actually take less sugar intake in humans."

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, "all sugary beverages are acidic and will compromise the alkaline design of the human body, leading to sickness and dis-ease. When you add carbonic acid with the sugary beverage found in all carbonated water or soda drinks you might as well plan on Alzheimer's symptoms unless you die from a heart attack first. To experience a heart attack, stroke, cancer or Alzheimer's sooner in life just add caffeine with your carbonated sugary drink.

The important thing to remember here (no pun intended) is no one gets Alzheimer's, heart attack, strokes, or cancer - you have to do it with your lifestyle and dietary choices. A healthy and fit body is all about personal choices! Therefore, the way to health, energy and fitness, throughout life, is to make alkaline lifestyle and dietary choices. If you follow this simple advise you will never get sick and you will never die from cancer, heart disease, stroke, or end up losing your mind."

The Hidden Book

I am sitting here at Starbucks typing away on my little Neo realizing how wonderful life is right now.
I am placing the finishing touches on my book and I have a long list of people already interested in purchasing it the minute it comes out. I am healthy and happy and compared to this time last year I am rocking and rolling.

This time last year I was exhausted and near panic.
I had given myself until October to find the answer to my question of 'what is cancer' and more importantly 'how can I cure myself of it'. I had promised friends and family that if I did not have my answers by October that I would have the surgery that the doctors were still pleading with me to have. It was a surgery that I did not want. After all, who in their right mind wants a partial radical mastectomy followed by chemo and/or radiation? I was running out of time and I needed an answer fast. I had exhausted most of my leads and was now down to daily searching of the internet for new blogs, press releases, anything that had to do with cancer and its possible cure.

I was sitting in my office twirling around in my chair like a four year old visiting her mom at the office.
I had my clown nose on. Yes, you read right. My clown nose. It's red and is made of foam with a little slit in it that opens up just enough for my nose. I keep it in my desk and I pull it out and put it on whenever I feel that I am getting too serious about the cancer.

I know, cancer is supposed to be serious, but I always felt that I didn't need to take it too seriously.
Taking it seriously gave it more power and I didn't want to give it any more power than it already had over my life. So the red foam clown nose is my cloak of invisibility. Whenever I wear it I become invisible to the cancer and anything that had to do with it. It keeps me safe and hidden away from the negative emails and letters that I received every day from 'well meaning'
people who said that they were praying for me and that God wanted me to have the surgery and God made Doctors so that they could help people like me. I always laughed at this notion that God created cancer just so that he could keep the doctors busy. This was crazy talk but I was the one wearing the clown nose!

I finished my playtime with my nose and my chair and leaned back on my desk. I was facing my bookshelf. Now, I have to tell you that I am quite proud of my personal library. I believe that you can tell a lot about the personality of someone by looking at their library or lack of one. My library literally spoke volumes about me.
It said I was hopeful, always searching, open minded, thoughtful and funny. It also said that I've been a reader all my life; a propensity that I received from my parents. If you can read and comprehend, you can find the answers to all life's questions and teach yourself how to do anything.

That's when I saw it. A paperback that had been slid pretty tightly, maybe even forced into much too small of a space, and placed upside down. I had to tilt my head to the left in order to read its spine. The pH Miracle by Dr. Robert O. Young and Shelley Redford Young. I remembered this book. I bought it several years ago looking for the secret of weight loss and had read half way through the book and decided that the program in the book was much too hard for someone who really was only wanting to lose five pounds. Ultimately, never having been known to throw away a book, I shelved it and forgot all about it.

So here I was head tilted looking at the book. I pulled or rather pried the book from the shelf and read the front, The pH Miracle, Balance Your Diet, Reclaim Your Life ... hmmm, wasn't that what I had been seeking desperately to do? Reclaim my life? I started reading and it all came back to me. This made total sense to me. It wasn't written by a medical doctor but by a microbiologist and a nutritionist. These were people who weren't looking to turn me towards more surgery or chemo or radiation. They were just explaining to me what cancer was and wasn't and how I could change my body so that the 'cancer' would not be part of it any longer.

I dove into the book and when I finally surfaced for air I was a different person. I had the hope. I had the courage; but most of all I had the answers. Take a deep breath and smile. Things are only going to get better. :)

Peace and Blessings,

About Kim Tinkham:

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2007, just two days before my fiftieth birthday. Rather than go the conventional route of mastectomy followed by chemo and/or radiation I chose to seek out an alternative way to heal my body and on November 6, 2007 was pronounced cancer free. This blog is a continuation of research that I am currently doing regarding the importance of eating alkaline foods and drinking alkaline water for your overall health.

Healing Diet

Following a detoxification diet is critical to good health because our bodies are constantly bombarded with toxicity in our everyday lives. Most people can't avoid everyday pollutants altogether, but they can take steps to protect their health using a healing diet.

Once environmental illness is diagnosed, the logical first step to take is removing the offending toxins from a person's environment and begin body detoxification. Only then can healing begin. Detoxification is the key to getting better. Continue Reading >>

Increase Your Carotenoids For Long-Term Health

Carotenoids are a group of phyto-chemicals that are a powerful alkalizing weapon against dietary and metabolic acids that cause cancer. They are found in leafy green, yellow, and some white vegetables and many fruits.

Over 600 carotenoids are found in nature, 50 of which are used in the human diet. Of these, beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, beta-crytoxanthin, and gamma-carotene can be converted by the body into vitamin A. In this transformation, only the amount of vitamin A needed for health is generated, and the rest remains as the original carotenoids.
For example, whether you take 10,000 IU of beta- carotene or a million, the amount of vitamin A produced in the body remains the same. This makes the carotenoids a very safe way to get your vitamin A.

Studies show that mixing some vitamin A with the carotenoids is especially beneficial for healthy white blood cells and for preventing any cancerous condition. Each of the various types of carotenoids has a different function in the body and also accumulates in different concentrations in various tissues and organs.

For example, lycopene from tomato, lutein from avocado and beta and alphacarotene concentrate in the cervix or prostate, thus playing a major role in preventing cervical or protstate cancer. Alphacarotene, but not beta-carotene, plays a major role in protecting the lungs and in preventing cancerous lungs. Astaxanthin plays a role in restoring healthy active white blood cells in the elderly. Lycopene is especially efficient in preventing breast and prostate cancer, while lutein and zeaxanthin play a major role in protecting the eyes and improving vision.

Another important function of the carotenoids is that they stimulate detoxification, which is vital in preventing cancerous condition and degenerative brain disorders. A number of studies linked low blood carotene levels with poor brain function in the elderly.

Extensive tests have shown no toxicity from even very high doses of carotenoids, even in children and infants. So, what about the study that linked beta- carotene with increased rates of lung and prostate cancer? First, the researchers used synthetic beta- carotene with no accompanying vitamins and minerals.
All of the patients were heavy smokers, heavy drinkers, or had been exposed to asbestos -- all factors which contain high amounts of toxic acids, leading to sickness and dis-ease.

Increasing your carotenoids and protecting your body from lifestyle, dietary and metabolic acid is as simple as drinking our new Doc Broc Power Plants.

Health Tip: Watch your body pH

Minerals are important to maintain one's health. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel Prizes, said each disease is associated with certain mineral deficiencies.

One vital function of minerals is to keep an alkaline body pH. When one does not feel good and when one knows something is wrong, one sees a doctor. However, the doctor does not know there could be something wrong with the person's body pH.

Often times, when you feel sick, your pH is too low or strongly acidic. One should have a slightly alkaline pH, anywhere between 7.1 and 7.4 roughly. PH 7 is neutral and below 7 is acidic. A normal alkaline pH keeps all cells functioning properly.

A low acidic body pH is one of the most common causes for diseases such as cancer. 85 percent of cancer patients are found to have a low pH between 5 and 6. At a normal pH level, cancer cells cannot grow. This is why some cancer patients control their cancer after they change their lifestyle, including diet.

How does one maintain a normal pH? Continue Reading >>

FOOD COMBINING

Dr. William Howard Hay introduced food combining in 1911. His basic premise is that there is one underlying cause for health problems and that is the wrong chemical condition in the body.

The wrong chemical condition is acidity which is caused by the manufacture and accumulation of acid from the products of digestion and metabolism in amounts greater than the body can eliminate.

This acid condition results in a lowering of the body's vital alkaline reserve, the depletion of which causes toxaemia or autointoxication.

Dr. Hay classified foods into three types according to their chemical requirements for efficient digestion.

These three types are: -

• Alkali forming foods such as fruits and vegetables. Alkali forming means the end products of such foods after digestion. Even acid tasting fruits such as lemons yield alkaline salts in the body.
• Concentrated proteins such as meat, game, fish, eggs or cheese. These foods are acid forming in their final end products in the body.
• Concentrated carbohydrates or starch foods, which are acid forming. These include grains, bread, and all foods containing flour, all sugars and foods containing sugars (sucrose), but not the naturally occurring sugars found in fruit. Continue Reading >>

Common Mistakes on the pH Miracle Diet

The pH miracle diet is an exciting new way for people to take control of their health. By lowering your dependence on acid producing foods and raising your intake of alkali foods you can attain optimum health. The pH scale is from 1 to 14 , 1 being very acidic and 14 being very alkaline. The blood in the human bloodstream tends to run slightly alkaline at 7.35. All foods, beverages and in fact everything we put into our bodies will breakdown into acid or alkali. The body will store and eliminate excess amounts of these things respectively.

An excess amount of acid stored in the body will cause the blood to cluster in the bloodstream, causing fatigue and trauma to the body on the cellular level. When there is so much shutdown going on in the body, the immune system will be lowered allowing disease and illness to enter. By keeping the balance of the pH level in the body at 7.35 you can ensure good health. Continue Reading >>

Three Girls Die From HPV Vaccination and The Truth About HPV

Vaccinations amid controversy over state legislatures in the U.S. requiring young girls to take Gardasil, Merck's new vaccine for human papillomavirus (HPV), severe side effects are being reported.

1,637 adverse reactions have been reported by Judicial Watch, a public interest watchdog, including three girls who died shortly after receiving the immunization.

Judicial Watch obtained the reports from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration using the Freedom of Information Act.

In Australia, 25 girls who had just received their first injection of the vaccine experienced headache, nausea, and dizziness. In some cases, the problems were so severe that they were hospitalized.

The good news is that shares of the vaccine's Australian developer, CSL, fell after the incident was reported in the news.

Immunity is not found in poisoning the body with acidic vaccines but in maintaining the alkaline design of the body fluids.

What I have discovered is that immunity is found in the alkaline pH of the fluids of the body at 7.365.

Immunity is not found in the White Blood Cells as currently taught by current medical savants!

The purpose of the White Blood Cell is to the maintain the cleanliness of the body fluids - not in destroying some invading phantom or contagious virus.

Last week I had a wonderful email from a young woman who was diagnosed with HPV. She DID NOT have the HPV vaccine but started the pH Miracle Living Plan with the pHour salts and pHlavor salts.

She went back for a re-test 3 months later and doctors could not find any titers of HPV.

WHY? The Truth About HPV

The reason medical tests could not find any titers of HPV? HPV is not a micro-organism or a virus but an acidic liquid waste product from an over-acidic lifestyle and diet.

The latin word for virus is poison. The posion or virus in the body that can make us sick, tired and fat is an acidic liquid waste product from metabolism and diet.

The key to a healthy body and to reverse the symptoms of any dis-ease is to buffer and eliminate these dietary and metaboloic acids from the body.

The best way to buffer and eliminate dietary and metabolic acid is to supplement the diet with the natural mineral salts found in pHour salts and pHlavor salts.

The only thing you prove when you vaccinate with ANY vaccine is that you can poison yourself while putting your health and life at risk!

The reason more people do not die from vaccination is found in the body's response to the acidic vaccine by the immediate release of the most important alkaline buffer in the body, known as sodium bicarbonate.

Green Vegetables May Cut Your Risk For Prostate Cancer

Eating broccoli and cauliflower can slash a man's risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer in half.

A team from the U.S. National Cancer Institute and Cancer Care Ontario in Toronto conducted a study of the diets of 1,300 men and found that regularly eating broccoli and cauliflower cut their risk of developing deadly prostate cancer better than any other vegetable.

The team found that, overall, eating fruits and vegetables didn't appear to lower the risk of prostate cancer, even though previous studies have shown a link. But their study found that eating at least one weekly serving of dark green and cruciferous vegetables, which include broccoli and cauliflower, did, in fact, lower the risk of developing aggressive prostate cancer.

A weekly serving of broccoli lowers the risk by 45 percent, and a weekly serving of cauliflower cut the risk still more, by 52 percent. Eating spinach also seemed to reduce the risk for prostate cancer.

"Aggressive prostate cancer is biologically virulent and associated with poor prognosis," said study leader Dr. Victoria Kirsch. "A possible means to reduce the burden of this disease may be primary prevention through increased consumption of broccoli, cauliflower, and possibly spinach."

To help prevent prostate cancer with the anti- oxidant power of dark green vegetables, Robert O. Young Ph.D, D.Sc., developed a 28 to 1 concentration of dark green vegetables, including Kale, Broccoli, and Collard Greens.

VIBRANT HEALTH Starts With pH Balance!

VIBRANT HEALTH Starts With pH Balance!

Your body is really no different than many other living bodies:

• Fish need the water that they swim in to be the correct pH - or they get sick and die
• Plants need the pH of the soil in which they live to be perfect in order to flourish.
• Even good old Planet Earth needs balance...the balance between Alkaline oxygen and ACIDIC carbon dioxide. And we all know what excess carbon dioxide emissions (imbalance) can do to the planet. Continue Reading >>
