No More Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, Sclerosis, Osteoporosis and Cancerous Conditions

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.

Proanthocyanadins Protect the Heart From Dietary and Metabolic Acids

An alkalizing antioxidant polyphenols-rich or proanthocyandin diet keeps the heart younger.

This finding comes out from a study by the University of Grenoble in collaboration with the other Centres participating to the FLORA Project, a European Commission funded research studying the effects of flavonoids, a variety of polyphenols, on human health.

The scientific work, published in the Journal of Nutrition, is one of the few approaching this field by in vivo studies. "So far- says Marie-Claire Toufektsian, leading author of the study - the biological and protective activities of various flavonoids have been extensively studied in vitro, on cell- based assays. Nevertheless, this kind of approach has a major limitation: it is extremely difficult to assess precisely the nature of all flavonoids absorbed following consumption of fruits and vegetable plants present in a given meal. In other words, laboratory cultured cells alone are not sufficient to study a complex mechanism such as that of absorption of food flavonoids". That is why we need to turn attention on other features.
The most obvious solution appeared to be to study the effects of this kind of alkalizing polyphenols on experimental animals. The turning point started from fruit and vegetable plants: those rich in flavonoids made the case of researchers.

Toufektsian used two kinds of corn: one anthocyanin-free (anthocyanins is a variety of flavonoids) and the other, obtained by the Department of Biomolecular Sciences and Biotechnology of University of Milan through traditional cultivation techniques with no transgenic modifications, rich in anthocyanins.
"The corn seeds were introduced into a rodent food formula in order to obtain two groups of rats following two different kinds of diet for a couple of months" says Chiara Tonelli, head of the Milan group. In the meantime researchers accurately measured the anthocyanins levels in urine and plasma samples from the two groups of rats by using a method developed by the Research Laboratories at the Catholic University of Campobasso. Then researchers studied the onset and evolution of myocardial infarction induced experimentally in both groups.

"We found -- Toufektsian adds -- that chronic consumption and effective absorption of anthocyanins rendered the rats more resistant to myocardial infarction; in other words, the size of the infarct was significantly reduced in rats fed the anthocyanin-rich diet".

The quantity of absorbed anthocyanins is important too. Maria Benedetta Donati, scientific coordinator of the Research Laboratories of Campobasso, argues that "the rats fed the anthocyanin- rich diet received about 13-fold more anthocyanins than most people following a standard Western-type diet, where the daily consumption of flavonoids is relatively low and the average intake of anthocyanins is estimated to be only 12 mg per day".

The Authors turned their attention on an alkaline diet stressing the crucial difference between this kind of diet and the so called Western Diet, that is rich in fats and poor in fibres. "The anthocyanins content of the traditional Mediterranean diet is much higher than that of the Western Diet, which might explain why the Mediterranean diet is cardioprotective" says Michel de Lorgeril, cardiologist, head of the Grenoble group.

Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist from the pH Miracle Living Center, states, "the best source of the acid buffering-alkalizing proanthocyanadins is from green fruits and veggies. Eating 9 to 12 servings of green fruits and veggies every day will help to provide the protective proanthocyanadins needed to buffer the dietary and metabolic acids that can lead to heart dis-ease and cancerous conditions."

You can simply obtain these beneficial antioxidant proanthocyandins by ingesting a concentration of whole food fruits and vegetables in Dr. Young's latest and greatest product called, pHurits and pHolage.

Prevent Aging With Broccoli

Eat your broccoli and broccoli sprouts!

That's the advice from UCLA researchers who have found that a chemical in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables may hold a key to restoring the body's alklaine design, which declines as we age.

Published in this week's online edition of the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the study findings show that sulforaphane, a chemical in broccoli, switches on a set of antioxidant/antiacid genes and alkaline buffers in specific immune cells, which then combat the injurious effects of molecules known as dietary and metabolic acids that can damage cells and lead to dis-ease.

Acids from diet and metabolism are byproducts of normal body processes, such as the metabolic conversion of food into electrical energy, and can also enter the body through small particles present in polluted air. Oxidative or acid damage to body tissues and organs is the cause of aging and dis-ease.

"The mysteries of aging have always intrigued man,"
said Dr. Andre Nel, the study's principal investigator and chief of nanomedicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

According to the UCLA study, the ability of aged tissues to reinvigorate their antioxidant/antiacid defense can play an important role in reversing much of the negative impact of dietary and metabolic acids on the immune system. However, until this current study, the extent to which antioxidant defense can impact the aging process in the alklaine buffering system was not properly understood.

The UCLA team not only found that the direct administration of sulforaphane in broccoli reversed the decline in cellular immune function in old mice, but they witnessed similar results when they took individual immune cells from old mice, treated those cells with the chemical outside the body and then placed the treated cells back into a recipient animal.

"We found that treating older mice with sulforaphane increased the immune response to the level of younger mice," said Hyon-Jeen Kim, first author and research scientist at the Geffen School.

To investigate how the chemical in broccoli increased the immune or alkaline buffering system's response, the UCLA group confirmed that sulforaphane interacts with a protein called Nrf2, which serves as a master regulator of the body's overall antioxidant/antiacid response and is capable of switching on hundreds of antioxidant/antiacid compounds and rejuvenating genes and the alkaline buffering system.

Kim said that although there is a decline in Nrf2 activity with aging, this pathway remains accessible to chemicals like sulforaphane that are capable of restoring some of the ravages of aging by boosting antioxidant/antiacid pathways.

"Dietary antioxidants have been shown to have important effects on immune function, and with further study, we may be adding broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables to that list,"
Nel said.

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, states, "the alkaline chemical of sulforaphane from broccoli is one of the most powerful buffers of dietary and metabolic acids in preventing aging, wrinkles, enervation, inflammation, induration, ulcerations, and degeneration of the animal or human organism."

This is why Dr. Young created a 28 to 1 concentration or organic broccoli sprouts in his lastest whole food creation called, "pHruits and pHolage,"
