One in every three American adults suffers from an over-acid condition called arthritis. It's one of the countries leading health problems and is the leading cause of disability in Americans over the age of fifteen.Although numerous pharmaceuticals are prescribed to ease the pain of arthritis they do not cure arthritis because they do not deal with the cause - an over-acidic lifestyle and diet.
Alkalizing foods and drinks including plant antioxidants can reduce and even eliminate the dietary and metabolic acids that cause the inflammation that leads to irritation and/or inflammation of the joints, tendons and muscles. Bottom line, there is only one cause of irritation, inflammation and degeneration of the body tissues that leads to arthritis, osteoarthritis, sclerosis, osteoporosis and all cancerous conditions of the tissues and that is dietary and metabolic acids that have not been properly eliminated through urination, defecation, perspiration or respiration.
The pH Miracle Living Lifestyle and Dietary Plan, I sometimes refer to as the C.O.W.S. Plan will help remove the dietary and metabolic acids that cause all irritation and inflammation in the body and begin the process of restoration and healing. The following is an outline of Dr. Young's C.O.W.S. Plan for achieving ideal sustainable health and energy.
C = Chlorophyll
The most important thing one can do is to increase the amount of whole organic green foods and drinks.
This would include cucumbers, avocados, broccoli, celery, green papaya, green peppers, limes, kale, collard greens, leafy greens, just to name a few.
I recommend 9 to 12 servings of fruits and veggies everyday. Alkalizing fruits and vegetables are great for breakfast, lunch and dinner. To help meet your daily servings of fruits and veggies I have created a whole food organic green fruit and vegetable powder that can be added to your soups, water, sprinkled on a salad or mixed into your food. I have also created a liquid chlorophyll which can be mixed in water, added to soups or taken orally.
O = Oil and Oxygen
The key to increased oxygen is to exercise for at least 1 hour every day. This would include walking, jogging, rebounding, whole body vibrational exercising, swimming, yoga, just to name a few.
My favorites are jogging, yoga, and whole body vibrational exercising. The benefits of exercise are critical for improving blood and lymphatic circulation for removing acids from the connective tissues and joints that can cause irritation, inflammation and degeneration.
When you are moving your body you are moving dietary and metabolic acids out of the tissue that can then be eliminated through the pores of the skin via perspiration and/or through the mouth via respiration.
I also recommend drinking at least 3 to 4 ounces or 125 ml of cold pressed organic Omega 1,3,5,6, and 9 oils found in linseed oil, flax, borage, hemp, avocado and olive oil.
The pH Miracle Living Center is offering an Omega 5 oil from pomegranate and an Omega 1 from organic avocados. The best source for Omega 3, 6 and 9 oils are from linseed, hemp and flax. We are now offering the best source of cold pressed organic Omega 3, 6 and 9 oil from linseed oil from the green fields of England.
W = Water
Drinking at least 1 liter per day of pure alkaline water per 25 k of weight or 50 lbs. is critical for maintaining the alkaline design of the body. The best way to purify and alkalize your water is with our latest Young Life Ionizer 5000, 6500, 7000 or 8500.
S = Salt and Sunshine
Without salt there is no life. Our blood is salty, our sweat is salty, our urine is salty and our tears our salty and for good reason.
It is salt that maintains the alkaline design of your body. It is salt that keeps your heart beating. It is salt that buffers dietary and metabolic acids. It is salt that allows energy to be transported throughout the body.
It is salt that allows you to move, think and breath. It is salt that acts as the glue that holds the spirit and the physical body together. Salt is life. A no or low salt diet is death! Go to the following link to learn more about the importance of salt in your diet and the kind of salt that is best to eat.
It can also be said that without sunlight there would be no life. I recommend at least 30 minutes of direct sunlight every day to recharge and energize the body with photons that are then converted by the body into electrical energy.
The following are some additional whole food nutrients that I recommend taking to buffer dietary and metabolic acids and restore health and energy to the joints, tendons, bones and muscles.
1) Glucosamine-chondroitin sulfate
A number of large-scale, double-blind clinical studies have demonstrated the ability of these two nutrients to alleviate pain and aid joint reconstruction.
2) Hyaluronic
The joint contains cartilage composed of complex glycosaminoglycans, which aid in joint health.One food nutrient that supplies this vital substance is hyaluronic. This is a component of connective tissue whose function is to cushion, lubricate and buffer the dietary and metabolic acids from the blood.
3) MSM
Also called methyl sulfonyl methane, MSM is a natural form of sulfur found in living organisms.
Its main benefits are a reduction of inflammation and the ability to penetrate many tissues, including joints to buffer acidity.
4) Collagen type II
This is a major component in cartilage, and s upplementation has demonstrated benefits in reducing acidic pain and improving joint function.
5) Tart cherry extract
A number of studies have shown that concentrated extracts of tart cherries improve joint function and reduces dietary and metabolic pain.
6) The Spice Curcumin
This is one of the most powerful natural anti-inflammatory substances known. Its effects are comparable to steroids, without the acidic harmful effects of steroids.
7) Quercetin
This is also a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant. When combined with curcumin, you get a powerful anti-inflammatory or anti-acidic effect because they each act on different inflammatory biochemical pathways.
8) Linseed oil
Lineed oil contains a high concentration of gamma-linolenic acid, which has significant anti- inflammatory or anti-acidic properties. It also moistens mucous membranes and the skin.
9) Natural vitamin E
Vitamin E, in natural form, has significant anti-inflammatory or anti-acidic effects.
10) Magnesium oxide and sodium bicarbonate
Magnesium oxide and sodium bicarbonate are not only powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory, but they also strengthen the tissues and the ligaments surrounding the joint. Magnesium oxide and sodium bicarbonate have been shown to reduce inflammation, while a deficiency increases it. They not only slash hydorgen ions or metabolic acids but they block the release of inflammatory acidic cytokines as well.
A survey found that a dearth of magnesium is one of the most common mineral deficiencies seen, with 75% of the population lacking it. Chronic illness and many medications worsen magnesium and sodium bicarbonate loss.
I have created three very important mineral salts of magnesium oxide called pHlush, sodium bicarbonate called pHour salts and a broad spectrum of mineral salts called pHlavor salts. Go to the following links to learn more about the importance of mineral salts.
11) Stinging nettle extract
This plant extract has been shown to have powerful anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have found it to be very protective of the brain as well. It is often included in natural supplements used to treat chronic prostate problems for the same acidic reasons.
12 ) Glutathione from Avocado
The most powerful of all antioxidants of dietary and metabolic acids that leads to inflammatory and/or degenerative conditions.
