Eating Fruits and Veggies? Check Urine pH

Noelle Holly, MD

In an article to appear in the upcoming British Journal of Nutrition, researchers at the Norfolk, UK branch of EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) have shown that a diet high in fruits and vegetables and low in meat -- what they call an "alkaline" diet -- correlates with alkaline urine.[1]

Urinary biomarkers have been shown to reflect dietary intake and nutritional status with some degree of accuracy. For example, 24-hour urinary excretion of nitrogen and potassium and self-reported, seven-day dietary intake have been shown to correlate.[2]

In the current study, a subpopulation of EPIC (n=363) provided casual and 24-hour urine samples and completed a quantified dietary recall over the past week using a validated self-report tool called the seven-day diary. Individuals with an alkaline diet -- high in fruits in vegetables and low in acidic foods like meats -- were identified as having a low potential renal acid load and alkaline urinary pH, according to the seven-day diary.

As more data on the long-term effects of diet are collected, expect to hear more about dietary acid-base load and other objective markers of dietary habits.

EPIC is the largest prospective cohort study of diet, lifestyle, and health outcomes (including cancer) ever conducted, having followed over a half-million subjects in 10 countries from 1993-1999.[3]

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 >>

An Avocado Day Will Keep The Doctor Away

Here at the Rancho del Sol in Sunny California we are always picking our organic avocados and shipping them fresh, directly to your home. (Freshly picked avocados ripen in three to four weeks and can last up to 3 months when refrigerated)

Our avocados are rich in nutrients, with Vitamins A, B-complex, C, E, H, K and folic acid,. They also contain the buffering minerals so critical in neutralizing excess acidity, magnesium, copper, iron, calcium, potassium and many other trace elements.

The Rancho del Sol Avocados are a perfect food in that they provide all of the essential amino acids -
18 amino's in all - plus 7 fatty acids, including omega 3 and 6. They also contain more protein than cow's milk (about 2 percent per edible portion).

The water content of our avocados ranges from 70 to 80 percent. This high water content makes these avocados a type of hydrating and energizing fuel for the body to burn, instead of a sugar-based fuel which leaves and acidic ash waste in your blood.

Avocados rank as the most easily digested rich source of fats and proteins in a whole food.

Approximately 63 percent of the fat contained in our avocados are mono-unsaturated and only 17 percent is saturated. Both types of these fats serve as food energy sources for our fuel rather than glucose or protein. The rest of the fat found in our avocados, about 20 percent are polyunsaturated and serve in cellular construction.

Scientific evidence from a May 1999 study conducted by the California Avocado Commission shows that nutrient-dense avocados contain 76 mg of beta- sitosterol per 100 grams of fruit. Beta-sitosterol is a plant sterol that occurs naturally in our avocados. Certain sterols can inhibit cholesterol absorption in the intestine and result in lower blood cholesterol levels. In animal studies, phytosterol has been shown to inhibit the growth of tumors, particularly the growth of prostate tumors.

The 76 mgs. found in our avocados is more than four times the level found in other commonly eaten fruits, such as bananas, apples, cantaloupes, grapes, plums and cherries. And our avocados do not have all the sugar that raises blood glucose and acidity. Our avocados contain at least twice the amount of beta- sitosterol found in other foods, including corn, green soy beans and olives.

A survey conducted by the National Cancer Institute in a 1992 demonstrated that ounce per ounce the glutathion content in avocados is three times that of bananas, apples, cantaloupes, grapes, plums and cherries.

Glutathione is composed of three amino acids and functions as a buffer neutralizing acids that can cause damage to cells in the body during the process of aging, heart dis-ease and any acidic cancerous condition.

Numerous studies have linked glutathione to the prevention of various types of cancer, including cancer of the mouth and pharynx and also heart dis-ease.

Dr. David Heber, director of the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition and author of "What Color Is Your Diet," has this to say about our avocados: "The California avocado is an excellent dietary source of glutathione and phytosterol, further demonstrating the value of the diverse plant-based diet in providing micro-nutrients that may have unique roles in the body and the potential to improve overall health and prevent chronic disease."

Dr. Heber's findings also indicate that California grown avocados contain a biochemical called lutein, a carotenoid recently discovered in avocados and found in green vegetables, which can help protect against various forms of cancer, including prostate cancer.

UCLA lab tests showed that lutein reduces prostate cancer cell growth by 25 percent, while lycopene from tomatoes reduces cell growth by 20 percent.
When lutein and lycopene were combined, prostate cancer cell growth was reduced by 32 percent. This indicates that both nutrients together help protect against prostate cancer better than either nutrient alone. "Lutein and lycopene in combination appears to have additive or synergistic effects against prostate cancer," said Heber. "Our result suggests that further study should be done to investigate the nutrient interactions of lutein and lycopene at a sub-cellular and molecular level."

This research is why I recommend avocados and tomatoes for breakfast every morning. Traditionally, lutein has been found in green vegetables such as parsley, celery and spinach, but it was also recently discovered in avocados. (To purchase your Rancho del Sol organically grown avocados, avocado cold-pressed avocado oils, avocado based glutathione, our concentrated avocado pHurit and pholage powder and our avocado base Doc Broc Power Plants, go to:

In fact, research has shown that avocados are the highest fruit source of lutein among the twenty most frequently consumed fruits. In addition to the new prostate cancer findings, lutein is also known to protect against eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness.

The new research at UCLA also indicates that avocados have nearly twice as much vitamin E as previously reported, making them the highest fruit source of this powerful buffer of metabolic and digestive acids.

Vitmain E is known to slow the aging process and to protect against heart disease and common forms of cancer by neutralizing metabolic acids, which may cause cellular damage. Dr. David Heber states, "avocados are recognized as an excellent source of mono-unsaturated fat which is known to lower cholesterol levels, but the antioxidant and biochemical properties of avocados are less well- recognized. Thee plant nutrients naturally found in fruits and vegetables work together to reduce oxidative stress and prevent disease."

Dr. Heber, along with 35 scientists at the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, has long endorsed a diet based on 5 to 11 servings per day of a diverse selection of fruits and vegetables, including the avocado.

Worldwide research demonstrates the high intake of fruits and vegetables is associated with better health, largely due to their disease-fighting properties.

The Rancho del Sol Avocado contains fourteen minerals, all of which regulate body functions and stimulate growth. Especially noteworthy are its levels of iron and copper. These minerals aid in red blood cell regeneration and the prevention of nutritional anemia. Avocados are also a higher source of potassium than bananas, and contain ionic sodium, which gives them a high alkaline reaction without all the acidic sugar.

Avocados contain no starch and very little sugar and therefore do not pollute the blood with the sugar acid but provides a high source of healthy fats, which can metabolize for energy or construct cellular membranes. Avocado is also a great source of protein at 10 to 15 percent.

For all the reasons above, the Avocado will be one of the most important foods that you eat as you balance your endocrine system or the energy system of your body. I encourage anyone who is doing Type I or Type II idabetes to eat 2 to 3 Avocados a day. This will allow your body to enjoy the protective attributes of glutathione, lutein and lycopene while receiving a broad spectrum of vitamins, minerals and healthy fats.

The Spark of Life - The Negative Charged Ion

Every breath we take, every move we make...
so goes the song.

Yet every move we make does depend on every breath we take and every drink (or meal) we take, because our movement is fueled by electrical energy that we store in the body. We receive our energy from the triune sources of air, food and water.

Electrical energy doesn't just 'drop' out of the air, food or water that we ingest. In its usual form it is not chemically available. It can't always be called upon to support every move we make because it is not always ready for chemical reaction.

For any chemical reaction to occur there needs to be two molecules involved, and each of these molecules must have something to 'trade', in the form of compatible atoms that are either positively or negatively charged.

Positively charged molecules (and the atoms within
them) will easily and naturally unite with negatively charged molecules of equivalent and compatible charge.

Put simply, all of your body functions rely on the electrical energy released from the unity of the 'charge' of the molecules in it and the opposite 'charge' in food water or air that enters it.

So what is an ion?

An ion is any atom that has a positive or a negative charge. A positively charged ion will seek a negatively charged one to unite with, have a glorious 'coupling' and then turn into something totally new and available.

So why do we rave on so much about negative ions?

Because the result of every move you move (a net spending of electrical energy) is a positively charged body. The molecules in your body are left holding a positive charge. They are unavailable for future 'couplings' unless we get a new batch of attractive and giving negative ions in quickly.

As we hear so often these days, things ain't what they used to be. The air is different. Putting it very frankly and unscientifically, it's full of crud or acid. Positively charged crud or acid .
Nothing ever 'goes away' on our little green planet and every exhaust, every chimney plume, every release of gas, stays within our thin and fragile ionosphere.

It stays in the air we gulp as we run along the beach, it stays in the water we drink, and it stays in the food we eat. And all of it this acidic pollution is useless for energy production within the body.

The air we breath in our garden, only 500 meters from the beach, contains only around 150 negative ions/cc/sec. but it also contains around 700 positive ions. This means that even as we lay on the beach doing absolutely nothing, our bodies are getting short-shifted by 2000 (required) plus 700 positive less 150 negative ions = 2550 ions/cc/second.

Because the environment can no longer supply our basics , our bodies have to negatively ionize the air, water and food that enters our bodies just to get bare minimum ionization needs, and lying there in the sun, they are working non-stop just to supply enough available electrical energy for us to get up off the sand and walk to the car!

Did we always have to do this?

No!

We have managed to take our beautiful planet from a garden paradise to technoaicidtrash in less than a century, and we have done one 'good' job.

Where once clear air and spring or glacial water gave us all the negative ions we needed, today the same basics actually rob our bodies of energy.

Like the idea of drinking pure alkaline rainwater?

Don't .

It robs you of electrons. It is also acidic, having combined with CO 2 and pollutants as it falls from the clouds, and so it only contributes to the acidic state of your body.

Want to go to the beach and reinvigorate on pure ocean air?

That air just blew all the way from a Brazilian chemical factory and now it's your turn to breath it in.

So we are suffocating in our air, drying up in our water, and toxifying as we eat our clean supermarket food.

In a radical state, radical action is required - and we are indeed in a radical state of personal bodily survival. We have lost the negative ions, the life electrical energy we need to even breathe freely.

It's not hard to understand how we age the way we do. Suddenly we are old and we wonder how it happened. Yet it's been happening for years because every day our wonderful, amazing bodies have been slugging it out and losing the battle to keep aging at bay by maintaining its alkaline design.

Instead of performing daily housekeeping functions, it is flat out ionizing water food and air to make it energetically available for energy storage.

The Chinese adepts well knew the power of this ionization process. They call the energy in the body chi, and they say it comes from the air, from water and from food.

In his book The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity, author and longevity expert Daniel Reid says, 'Since there exists no equivalent term in English for 'Chi' or 'Prana', we shall refer to it as 'bionic' or 'bioelectric' energy.

This combines the idea of living energy uniquely associated with living organisms (bio-) with that of electricity (-electric) and negatively charged ions (-ionic)..'

In 1838, deHufeland wrote in The Art of Prolonging the Life of Man,' A careful study of the phenomena of the vital force in the organized world leads us to recognize in it the following properties ands
laws: the vital force is the most subtle, most penetrating, most invisible agent we have known until now in nature; in this respect it surpasses even light, electricity and magnetism, with which in other respects it seems to have the greatest analogy...

We find a striking analogy between the vital force and magnetism. The life force can exist in a free and latent state, and in this respect has a close analogy to heat and electricity.'

More recently, French Scientist Dr J. Belot said, 'When we consider organic life in the light of biophysics, we find that electrical phenomena are at the root of all cellular life and we conclude that the end of everything is an electrical charge.'

In March 1968, 36 years ago, Le Monde reported that the presence of negative ions or ionization facilitates oxygen absorption, aids elimination of CO2 in the alveoli of the lungs, yet positive ions have precisely the opposite effect. Gases, dust, chemical fumes, all enter the body as positive ions, trapping the tiny negative ions in their large absorbent form, rendering your air technically 'dead'.

When we read the work of Dr Otto Warburg, Nobel Scientist, we begin to understand the absolute importance not only of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen and nitrogen, but the utter importance for our longevity of their entry into the body in negatively charged form.

We also begin to see the extent of the effect of common-use substances. A plastic seat will accelerate mental fatigue, as will plastic wall coverings. Objects covered in polyethylene produce fields of between 5 and 10,000 volts/meter.

In a space enclosed by polyethylene the rate can skyrocket to 100,000 volts/meter . Certain synthetic clothes are strong enough to set up a field that repels all negative ions in your immediate vicinity! Go stand on a mountain; it won't help much if you're wearing your favorite synthetic ski jacket!

Without adequate negative ions, we are literally working ourselves to death and we don't even realize it. Yet the technology now exists to replace the body's load, to support the alkaline design of the body, the white blood cells, and to promote not just a long life, but a strong, vital electron rich life.

With pH Miracle Water Ionization (ionized water), you are now able to derive huge quantities of negatively charged ions as Hydroxyl ions in a microclustered form that will flow between cell walls and react with acidic wastes that are causing energy loss, lethargy and a predisposition to almost every major illness; all in water direct from your tap or in a glass bottle.

With the ionization of air you will receive ionized nitrogen and oxygen that gives itself away immediately to facilitate energy conversion and storage. The ionized nitrogen acts on your cellular communication system and dilates the blood vessels to maintain not only a strong nutrient transport system, but an efficient messaging service, allowing your body to reinstate real communication. You begin to know your own body again.

The cost, when we look realistically at a future that statistically means ill health, cancer, heart disease and bodily degeneration, is incredibly small.
Like the tiny negatively charged atom, this technology is easy to dismiss, but deceptively powerful.

The technology is here and now with
pH Miracle Water.

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.

Soy Isoflavones May Cut the Risk of Prostate Cancer by 60%

A new case-control study recruited 200 Japanese men with prostate cancer ranging from stage 1
(1 man) to stage 4 (24 men). Their dietary intake of soy was evaluated and compared to that of cancer-free men. Intake of the Soy Isoflavones Genistein and Daidzein was significantly associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer.

When comparing the highest average isoflavone intake of 90mg or greater to the lowest of 30.5mg or less, having 90mg or greater of Soy Isoflavones daily was associated with a 58% decreased risk of developing prostate cancer. The study is published in the August 2007 issue of the Journal of Nutrition.

WHEN YOU READ STUDIES LIKE THIS, KEEP IN MIND THAT THE pH BALANCING OF NEW BIOLOGY SAYS THERE IS ONLY ONE DISEASE.

YOU WILL NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT PROSTATE CANCER OR ANY OTHER KIND OF CANCER ONCE YOUR BODY HAS BEEN ALKALIZED FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. THAT PERIOD IS UNKNOWN, AND MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ANY DISEASE OR LEVEL OF PROGRESSION OF A DISEASE AT THE TIME THAT ALKALINIZATION BEGINS TAKING PLACE.

AND BECAUSE THERE IS ONLY ONE DISEASE, THERE IS ONLY ONE TREATMENT. YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS. THE QUESTION IS, "DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO MAKE THE CHANGES IN YOUR DIET, NUTRITION, AND LIFESTYLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN?"

FOR OTHERS, THE CHALLENGE INCLUDES THE QUESTION:

"DO YOU HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO THESE THINGS WHILE LIVING WITH YOUR MATE, FAMILY AND IMMEDIATE COMMUNITY?"

THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE CHALLENGE AND COMMITMENT IS EVEN BIGGER WHEN YOU MUST CHANGE BY YOURSELF AND OTHERS AROUND YOU HAVE NOT YET BOUGHT IN! BUT AS THEY SEE YOU GET HEALTHIER, GET BETTER, LOSE WEIGHT, HAVE MORE ENERGY, AND SEE THE SHINE IN YOUR FACE AND THE GLINT IN YOUR EYES, THEY WILL BECOME CONVINCED - THE pH MIRACLE LIFESTYLE AND DIET REALLY WORKS!

Acidic Pesticides and Insecticides May Cause Motor Neuron Dis-Ease Like ALS

Motor neuron dis-ease is a rare, acidic and devastating illness in which nerve cells that carry brain signals to muscles gradually deteriorate. One form of it, Lou Gehrig's dis-ease or ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), is familiar to the public in the lives of scientist Stephen Hawking and Morrie Schwartz, about whom Mitch Albom's "Tuesdays with Morrie"
was written.

For most MND patients, the cause is unknown by current medical savants but Dr. Robert O. Young, of the pH Miracle Living Research Center, suggest, "MND is the result of damage to the nerve cells due to dietary and metabolic acids that are not being properly eliminated through urination, respiration, perspiration and defecation."

Figuring out why these people develop this acidic dis-ease, which causes muscles to weaken, atrophy and cease to function, is an important step in developing therapies to treat or prevent motor neuron disease.

Dr. Young states, "muscle weakness and atrophy of the muscles is the result of latent tissue acidosis and a deficiency of the lymphatic system to remove dietary and metabolic acids from the tissues. The sluggish or congested lymphatic system is the result of a lack of movement via exercise and the proper alkaline lifestyle and diet."

A team of University of Michigan scientists suggest they are a step closer:

1) They have discovered transformations in one key gene (neuropathy target esterase, or NTE) that cause a previously unknown type of inherited motor neuron disease. Dr. Young suggests, "this transformation or mutation is caused by dietary and/or metabolic acid."

2) The discovery paves the way for better diagnosis and research on treatments. Dr. Young suggests, "the treatment is here it is called prevention with an alkaline lifestyle and diet. As the systems progress with muscle soreness, inflammation, and weakness this is the time to hyper- saturate the tissues with alkaline compounds such as sodium and potassium bicarbonate."

3) Most intriguing, current medical scientists found the transformations or mutations caused changes in a protein already known to be involved when people develop neurologic disorders as a result of exposure to toxic acidic organophosphates -- acid chemicals commonly used in solvents and insecticides and also as "nerve gas" agents. This discovery points to a new lead in the search to understand MND. Dr. Young states, organophosphates are strong acids that destroy body cells, including nerve cells causing them to go through a biological transformation or mutation."

"We speculate there may be gene-environment interactions that cause some forms of motor neuron disease," says John K. Fink, M.D., professor of neurology at the U-M Medical School and senior author of the new study, which appears in the March issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics. He also is a researcher at the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System.

"Our findings support the possibility that toxic organophosphates contribute to motor neuron disease in genetically vulnerable people," says Fink. He believes the results suggest that altered activity of the gene found in patients in the study may also contribute to other motor neuron disorders, possibly including ALS.

Motor neuron disease affects five per 100,000 people and according to Dr. Young are the results of dietary and metabolic acids.

To protect your body from the acidic effects of pesticides and insecticides it is important to only eat organically grown fruits and vegetables.
It is also very important to wash your vegetables in ionized alkaline water to clean off the acids of pesticide and insecticide residues.

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.

Seven Strategies For A Healthy Heart

People who invest in luxury cars or high-priced SUVs tend to take care of them, paying particular attention to filling up with high-quality gasoline. The very same people, however, can often be seen cruising along in their spiffy wheels while eating a cheap high-fat, high-calorie, heart-attack-in-a-paper bag hamburger.

If they would be as careful with what they cram into their priceless and irreplaceable bodies as what they put in a car they're only going to keep for two years, their hearts would probably last longer. And - some doctors believe - better "fuel" could even keep their hearts beating longer without eventually having to resort to expensive heart medications that often have unwanted acidic side effects.

A wealth of research shows, in fact, that simple alkaline lifestyle changes can have enormous benefits, as in the case of an overweight man with high cholesterol and blood pressure treated at New York University's Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular disease. He was put on a healthy alkaline diet with portion controls, and given an exercise plan. Within six months, his blood pressure and cholesterol returned to normal, he lost eleven pounds, and he decided to stay with the plan permanently because he felt so much better, not to mention the fact that he cut his risk for a acidic heart attack drastically.

What can you do to help your heart without using medications? Here are seven important strategies.
Chances are you are following some of these guidelines already, but you may want to give them a close look because new research has provided several really new ideas that go beyond the usual list of "do's and don't's":

1) Feed your heart the alkaline food it needs.
This means more than just eating less fat - a two-year study showed that a heart-healthy diet should be high in alkaline fruits and veggies, seeds and nuts, fatty fish, and healthy fats.
Further, you should eat more fiber, which besides helping to keep things "moving along" in your digestive or alkaline buffering system may also help to lower cholesterol as the fiber binds up dietary acids. The goal of the alkaline diet is to reduce acids that cause artery-damaging inflammation.
Things to avoid are the usual: trans fats found in margarine, fast food, and many packaged foods.
Also, cut back on all sugary foods and fruits, and drink only alkaline water with a pH of 9.5 and an ORP of -150 mV.

2) Sweat your way to health and fitness with alkalizing exercises. Exercise at least 1 hour daily with a brisk walk or jog for 60 minutes five days a week. Try to include strength training several days a week, either using weights or resistance mechanisms. A new highly recommended exercise is ballroom dancing, which is good for your mind as well as your body. Think it's for sissies? The next time you watch "Dancing With the Stars," take a close look at the contestants' chests heaving up and down when they come off the floor.
(It can be really vigorous - remember Marie Osmond's fainting spell.:) Daily whole body vibrational exercise for working every cell in the entire body in ten minutes and is equal to 90 minutes of other aerobic types of exercise.

3) Lose your spare tire. Excess belly fat raises blood pressure, strains the heart, and -new research shows - actually produces acids that can cause inflammation of the arteries. Do whatever you have to do to cut back on eating, keeping in mind the heart-healthy tips given above. Don't skip an alkaline breakfast, eat slowly, stay away from acidic fried foods, and start meals with a salad (with a low-fat, no trans fat avocado oil with lemon). An old phrase is coming back into vogue: "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a queen, and supper like a pauper."

4) Quit tobacco. Get professional help with this one if necessary. This is a lifestyle change that can help big time. (But you know that.

5) Quit alcohol. It is acidic and tenderizes the heart making it weak and sluggish.

6) Chill out. It turns out that anger and stress can trigger acidic hormones that can injure your heart. Both can raise blood pressure and make blood prone to clotting. Do what it takes to calm your anger and throw oil on the waters of stress. Religious and civic activities can help, as can meditation, yoga and - you guessed it - ballroom dancing. Always keep in the back of your mind the ancient Eastern saying, "There are a million ways to get from birth to death, and they all work."

7) Eat lots of mineral sea salts. Without salt your heart would stop beating. Salt provides the matrix for which energy is transported. Mineral sea salts provide the alkalinity necessary for a healthy heart. So eat at least 8 grams a day or spray yourself with pHlavor mineral sea salt
6 to 9 times a day.

The pH Miracle for Breast Cancer

Women with cancerous breats have more aggressive dis-ease and lower survival rates if they are overweight or obese, according to findings published in the March 15 issue of Clinical Cancer Research, a journal of the American Association for Cancer Research.

"The more obese a patient is, the more aggressive the disease," said Massimo Cristofanilli, MD, associate professor of medicine in the Department of Breast Medical Oncology at The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. "We are learning that the fat tissue may increase inflammation that leads to more aggressive disease."

Cristofanilli and colleagues observed 606 women with locally advanced breast cancer. These women were classified by body mass index into the following three groups: normal/underweight
(24.9 or below), overweight (at least 25 but less than 30) or obese (more than 30). Body mass index is calculated by dividing a person's weight by their height.

At five years, overall survival was 56.8 percent among obese women, 56.3 percent among overweight women and 67.4 percent among normal weight women.
The 10-year survival rate was 42.7 percent among obese women, 41.8 percent among overweight women and 56.5 percent among normal weight women.

The rate of inflammatory or stage 4 acidosis in cancerous breasts, previously shown to have worse outcomes than non-inflammatory breast cancer, among obese women was 45 percent compared with 30 percent in overweight women and only 15 percent in women considered normal weight, researchers found.

Risk of cancerous or acidic breasts recurrence was also higher in obese or overweight women. By five years, 50.8 percent of obese women reported a recurrence compared with 38.5 percent of normal weight women. By 10 years, the rate of recurrence was 58 percent among obese women and 45.4 percent among normal weight women.

"Obesity goes far beyond just how a person looks or any physical strain from carrying around extra weight. Particular attention should be paid to our overweight patients," Cristofanilli said.

Cristofanilli said physicians need to pay close attention to breast cancer patients because commonly used drugs, such as tamoxifen, tend to increase weight gain during treatment.

"We have actually become quite good at managing acute side effects such as nausea in our chemotherapy patients and it goes away within a couple of days," Cristofanilli said.

"Following the nausea, our patients tend to overeat, which further increases their risk of weight gain. We need to implement lifestyle modifications interventions and develop better methods to follow these patients closely."

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, states, "cancerous breasts are the the result of dietary and metabolic acids being stored in the fatty breast tissues. The bigger the breasts the greater the risk for cancerous breasts. The key is to eliminate dietary and metabolic acids through urination, perspiration, respiration and defecation and not store them in the fatty breast tissue. The key then to preventing acidic cancerous breasts is to alkalize and exercise. If you want to prevent or reverse a cancerous condition in the body you need to sweat and pee your way to health. Cancer is a four letter word - ACID, and the body will generally park this acid in the fatty tissue, i.e., the breast tissue! By buffering and eliminating dietary and metabolic acids through one of the four channels of elimination by alkalizing and exercising you can either prevent or reverse a cancerous condition."

Reduce Your Risk For Breast, Prostate, Lung, Stomach and Colon Cancer By 50%

Crucifers May Reduce Breast Cancer Risk Up to 50%

When your mother told you to eat your vegetables it appears that maternal wisdom had a scientific basis.

Researchers with Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center and the Shanghai Cancer Institute in China have discovered a possible link between a diet rich in certain vegetables and a decreased risk for breast cancer. The study appears in the March issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

Corresponding author Jay Fowke, Ph.D., assistant professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt-Ingram, said
3,035 women diagnosed with breast cancer were identified through the Shanghai Cancer Registry.
They were closely matched with 3,037 women randomly chosen from the general population there. The women filled out questionnaires about their diet, including consumption of cruciferous vegetables like Chinese cabbage, bok choi and turnips. Americans typically eat more broccoli, kale and cauliflower in the cruciferous vegetable family.

"Cruciferous vegetables contain some compounds that may have a cancer-inhibitory effect," explained Fowke.
"Here we were able to identify a group of women who seem to particularly benefit from a high intake of these vegetables."

While there was only a small positive relationship between a diet high in these vegetables and a reduction in breast cancer risk for the overall study population, there was a striking risk reduction -- 50 percent -- among women with a certain genetic profile. Researchers identified three forms of the GSTP1 genotype among the cancer patients:
Ille/Ile, Ile/Val and Val/Val.

"Women who consumed more of these cruciferous vegetables and who also had the Val/Val genetic polymorphism had a lower breast cancer risk. So we cautiously interpreted this as diet being a factor that may reduce the impact of genetic susceptibility in overall breast cancer risk,"
said Fowke.

The Vanderbilt-Ingram researchers focused on cruciferous vegetables because they contain two chemicals called isothiocyanates and indole-3-carbinol which may affect carcinogenesis by triggering cell transformation or by shifting the acidic estrogen metabolism. Studies by other researchers have suggested cruciferous vegetables may reduce the risk of lung, stomach, colorectal and bladder cancer.

"The Shanghai Breast Cancer Study is one of the largest and most comprehensive epidemiological studies conducted to date for this common cancer,"
according to principal investigator Wei Zheng.
"We have published over 100 research papers in this study addressing a large range of significant issues related to the etiology and survival of breast cancer. The results reported by Dr. Fowke may have significant implications in breast cancer prevention."

Dr. Robert O. Young, of the pH Miracle Living Center states, "breast cancer is the result of metabolic and dietary acids being deposited in the fatty tissues of the breast in order to maintain the alkaline pH of the blood. When you increase your cruciferous vegetable intake you then reduce the risk of acids being thrown-off into the breast tissue and thus prevent breast cancer."

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,"

Healthy Alkaline Bowel = Healthy Alkaline Body

The basic natural concepts of health have been lost.

Millions of people die every year and tens of millions suffer needlessly because they fail to follow the natural laws of their beings and are being treated with obsolete and unnatural methods that avoid the true cause of all sickness and dis-ease.

Though the causes of dis-ease are generally ignored by conventional medicine, we do have a history of doctors who agree that the primary causes are always associated with acidic e-motions, toxicity, congestion, and malnutrition. These conditions gradually alter and weaken our internal environment. Once that environment reaches certain acidic polluted levels, dis-ease cycles are initiated.

"Acidosis and Toxicosis are the primary causes of all disease. Rid the body of these poisons and correct the habits of living, and good health will be regained and maintained" and, "just as maggots and flies require the filth of the manure pile in which they grow and propagate, so the human organism must become broken down and filthy through bad habits of living before the tissues and juices of the body will permit the harboring and growth of any noxious bacteria."

"However, in view of the scientific researches which have been cast aside by medicine it is just as reasonable to assume that the maggots and flies found in a manure pile caused the manure pile as it is to assume that the various kinds of germs found in a thoroughly filthy body, caused the condition of ill health." P.L. Clark, BS, MD, Ph.Sa

The survival of every animal, bird, fish, plant, and cell, whether it is bacteria, yeast, or protozoa, depends entirely upon its environment.

Dis-ease is never acquired; it is always created.
Dis-ease is a natural result obtained from an unnatural lifestyle. Dis-ease is not a question of exposure. It is an internal development that can lead to exposure susceptibility. The entry of an outside entity (bacteria, yeast, parasite) has little effect upon our bodies unless our internal environment has become acidic, polluted, and congested.

An increase in microforms or germs can only be successful when our bodies have degenerated into a severely acidic and polluted environment and our immune system compromised. Indeed, an acidic environment can only cause the breakdown of the human cell and tissue in an acidic host, and germs are the product of the breakdown of that cell and tissue. The breakdown of the human cell and the birth of the germ does not happen in a clean, healthy, and vibrant human body. We must alter our normal healthy internal chemistry before acids can weaken our organs and glands with toxicity, congestion, or poor nutrition and before our body parts can malfunction.

The most important point to understand here is that germs do not cause dis-ease they are the product of cellular transformation. It is acid that breaks down the human cell not bacteria. It is acid that causes dis-ease not bacteria or yeast.

There is only one sickness, one dis-ease and one cause - the over-acidification of the blood and then tissues due to an inverted way of living, eating and thinking. There is NO OTHER CAUSE FOR DISEASE but ACIDITY.

A Great Secret of Health

The intestinal tract or better said the alkaline buffering system is the hub of our entire body - all organs, glands, even our brains, heart, and cells are totally dependent upon a good functioning alkaline buffering or digestive system. In the Western World, most people have polluted their bowels with filth unimaginable and weakened their digestive function. When the alkaline buffering or digestion is off, even good food can become acidic. As long as this filth remains within, our bodies grow weaker and we become more and more prone towards deficiencies and acidic dis-ease.

A few great doctors have realized this:

"In the 50 years I've spent helping people to overcome illness, disability and disease, it has become crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people's health problems."

"Every tissue is fed by the blood, which is supplied by the bowel. When the bowel is dirty, the blood is dirty, and so on to the organs and tissues.... it is the bowel that invariably has to be cared for before any effective healing can take place."

"Of the 300 autopsies performed at National College in Chicago, 285 (patients) had claimed they were not constipated and had normal movements and only 15 had admitted they were constipated.
However, autopsies revealed the opposite to be the case. Some of the histories of these 285 persons stated they had had as many as 5 or 6 bowel movements daily, yet autopsies revealed that in some of them the bowel was 12 inches in diameter. The bowel walls were encrusted with material, in one case peanuts which had been lodged there for a very long time."

"The toxic waste must be removed as quickly as possible to halt the downward spiral of failing health. This is best done by: 1. Removing accumulated fecal material from the bowel....."
Doctor Bernard Jensen, DC, ND, Ph.D.

Dr. Jensen publicly stated that over 90% of dis-ease in America could be traced to unhealthy conditions in the bowel. Privately, he told me that it's closer to 100%.

"There is but one dis-ease and that is deficient drainage of dietary and metabolic acids."
Dr. Robert O. Young

"I am exceedingly impressed by the sequence of cancer and intestinal stasis."

"The poisons thus generated (in the bowel) pollute the bloodstream, causing every tissue, gland, and organ of the body to gradually deteriorate and be destroyed." Sir Arbuthnot Lane MS, FRCS, surgeon for the King of England

"Of the 22,000 operations that I have personally performed, I have never found a single normal colon, and of the 100,000 that were performed under my jurisdiction, not over 6% were normal."

"All of the diseases of civilization are due to improper functioning of the colon."
Dr. Harvey Kellogg, M.D. of the Kellogg Sanitarium

"There is no natural death. All deaths that come from so-called natural causes are merely the end point of progressive acidic saturation.... However, if they would take care of their body and cleanse their colon and intestines, their problems would be pretty much eliminated and they could eliminate their "cross" by proper diet, proper exercise, and in general, proper living." Dr. George C. Crile, head of the Crile Clinic in Cleveland

Dr. V.E. Irons, a pioneer in colon cleansing theory
wrote: "The cause of most conditions of ill health is autointoxication and that 95% of their troubles start in the colon. We can prove that we can find hardened mucous with its foul smelling curd in the colons of 95% of the entire nation."

Mucoid Plaque

Mucoid plaque is automatically secreted in the presence of acids, and other irritants and at first serves as a protection; but for those who have followed the standard American lifestyle, which is acid producing, it is common for mucoid plaque to form a continuous coating, arranged in layers, over the small intestine, stomach and the colon.
When the mucus (mucin) is secreted, it coagulates and can compound with other elements, forming an increasingly firm and toxic substance, which may
include: drugs, free radical-producing acidic noxious fecal compounds, heavy metals, parasites and more, depending on what the person eats, drinks, and thinks.

Mucoid plaque often interferes with normal bowel function, nutrient assimilation, and normal elimination. It will also provide a fertile stronghold for a large variety of microorganisms and their noxious acidic compounds. Thus, when the diet is improved and the person strives for maximum health, then mucoid plaque should be removed.

"This layer of mucus, when adhering closely to the mucosal surface, probably functions as a barrier to membrane digestion and most likely also to absorption... where, with increasing age, the mucus layer becomes more pronounced and widespread... it is hypothesized that the mucus barrier interferes with membrane digestion and absorption." J. Rainer Poley, Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 1988 May-June; 7 (3): 386-94.

Is it any wonder that the greatest healers in the world have always insisted upon cleansing and rebuilding the alkaline buffering system or the alimentary canal?

Magnesium May Prevent The Formation of GallStones

A diet rich in magnesium appears to reduce the risk developing painful gallstones, according to findings from a US study.

Consumption of magnesium has been declining over the years, due in part to the overprocessing of foods, Dr. Chung-Jyi Tsai and associates note in their report in the American Journal of Gastroenterology.

Magnesium deficiency is known to raise triglyceride levels and decrease HDL ("good") cholesterol levels in the blood, both of which may increase the risk of developing gallstones. Still, the long-term effect of magnesium on the risk of gallstones in humans was not known until now.

To investigate, Tsai, from the University of Kentucky Medical Center in Lexington, and colleagues analyzed data from 42,705 men, between 40 and 75 years of age, who were enrolled in the Health Professionals Follow-up Study.
The men were followed from 1986 to 2002.

The subjects were surveyed every 2 years to assess the occurrence of new illnesses, including gallbladder disease. Magnesium consumption was determined with a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire sent to the participants every 4 years.

During follow-up, 2195 men were diagnosed with gallstone disease, the researchers found.

Compared with the lowest level of total magnesium intake, the highest intake reduced the risk of gallstone disease by 33 percent. The same risk reduction was seen when considering just dietary magnesium, when supplements were excluded.

"From many studies by this group and others, it appears that a generally healthy dietary pattern, with more plant-based foods, fiber, and increasing complex carbohydrates, and now increasing magnesium intake will decrease the risk of symptomatic gallstones," Dr. Cynthia W. Ko, from the University of Washington in Seattle, writes in an accompanying editorial.
"This 'healthy' dietary pattern will also help in prevention of other chronic diseases in addition to gallstones."

According to Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, states, "magnesium is one of four major acid buffers of dietary and metabolic acids. When we increase magnesium in the form of carbonate we decrease the acids that can form gallstones."

Refined Carbohydartes May Be The Cause Of Esophageal Cancer

Cases of esophageal cancer (adenocarcinoma) in the U.S. have risen in recent decades from 300,000 cases in 1973 to 2.1 million in 2001 at age-adjusted rates. A new study published in The American Journal of Gastroenterology shows that these rates in the U.S.
closely mirrored trends of increased carbohydrate intake and obesity from 1973-2001.

The study illustrates what may be a public heath concern as the composition of U.S. diets changes and total carbohydrate and refined carbohydrate intakes increase. Obesity is a risk factor for many cancerous types, and a diet that includes a high percentage of acid forming refined carbohydrates is a common contributor to obesity. Carbohydrates were also unique in that no other studied nutrients were found to correlate with esophageal cancer rates.

"The causes of esophageal cancer are the result of acidic lifestyle and dietary choices which includes the ingestion of animal protein, refined and complex carbohydrates," states Dr.Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, in San Diego, California.

Despite recent advances in treatment, esophageal cancer has a poor prognosis. The five-year rate of survival for esophageal cancer remains below 20 percent and is the eighth-leading cause of cancer related death in American men.

"If we can reverse the trends in refined carbohydrate intake and obesity in the U.S., we may be able to reduce the incidence of esophageal cancer," says Dr. Li Li, senior author of the study.

Dr. Young further suggests that, "an alkaline lifestyle and diet will eliminate obesity in America as well as ALL cancerous conditions, including esophageal cancer." He suggests that, "obesity is the body in preservation mode protecting the organs that sustain life by adsorbing and then absorbing dietary and metabolic acids or the body's own urine that is not being properly eliminated through urination."

Curcumin Shows Promising Signs For Reducing Hypertension & Heart Enlargement

Eating cur cumin, a natural ingredient in the Young pHourer spice hunter turmeric (Garam Masala), may dramatically reduce the chance of developing heart failure, researchers at the Peter Munk Cardiac Center of the Toronto General Hospital have discovered.

In a study entitled, "Cur cumin prevents and reverses murine cardiac hypertrophy," published in the February edition of the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers found when the herb is given orally to a variety of mouse models with enlarged hearts (hypertrophy), it can prevent and reverse hypertrophy, restore heart function and reduce scar formation.

The healing properties of turmeric have been well known in eastern cultures for some time. The herb has been used in traditional Indian and Chinese medicine to reduce scar formation. For example, when there is a cut or a bruise, the home remedy is to reach for turmeric powder because it can help to heal without leaving a bad scar.

Unlike most natural compounds whose effects are minimal, cur cumin works directly in the cell nucleus by preventing abnormal unraveling of the chromosome under stress, and preventing excessive abnormal protein production.

"Cur cumin's ability to shut off one of the major switches right at the chromosome source where the enlargement and scarring genes are being turned on is impressive," says Dr. Peter Liu, cardiologist in the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre and Scientific Director at the Canadian Institutes of Health Research - Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health. However Dr. Liu cautions that moderation is important, "the beneficial effects of cur cumin are not strengthened by eating more of it."

Dr. Liu, who holds the Heart and Stroke Foundation's Polo Chair Professor in Medicine and Physiology at the University of Toronto, says that since cur cumin is a naturally occurring compound that is readily available at a low cost, it might be a safe and effective means of preventing heart failure in the future.

"Whether you are young or old; male or female; the larger your heart is, the higher your risk is for developing heart attacks or heart failure in the future. However, until clinical trials are done, we don't recommend patients to take cur cumin routinely.
You are better off to take action today by lowering blood pressure, reducing cholesterol, exercising and healthy eating," says Dr. Liu.

If clinical trials of cur cumin support initial findings of heart enlargement prevention, it may offer hope for millions of patients with heart enlargement in a relatively safe and inexpensive manner. Cur cumin-based treatments are currently in clinical trials for pancreatic and colon rectal cancer patients with promising results.

Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, states, "cur cumin is a wonderful buffer of metabolic and dietary acids that can lead to hypertension and heart enlargement. The key to eliminating hypertension and heart enlargement is to reduce the levels are endogenous acids with better lifestyle and dietary choices. One of those dietary choices would definitely included the Young pHorever cur cumin spice."

Over-Weight and Obesity Linked To Many Cancers

"Being obese or even overweight indicates the body is in a state of latent tissue acidosis and the body is in preservation mode. Obesity or being over-weight does not cause cancer directly or indirectly. Dietary and/or metabolic acids that can cause cancer when not eliminated through urination, defecation, respiration or perspiration are buffered and stored in the body's fatty and connective tissues. This can increase a person's risk of developing up to a dozen different types of cancers," states Dr. Robert O. Young, a research scientist at the pH Miracle Living Center, commenting on a new European study on obesity and the link to cancer.

Doctors have long suspected a link between weight gain and certain cancers, including colon and breast cancers. But the new study, published Friday in the journal Lancet, suggests it could also increase chances for cancer of the esophagus, thyroid, kidney, uterus and gall bladder, among others.

While the study suggests a link, there is no definitive proof that being fat in itself causes cancer.

Dr. Young states, "cancer is a liquid acid from diet and metabolism. The body uses fat to protect itself from these dietary and metabolic acids which can damage and destroy healthy blood and body cells leading to a cancerous condition. The key to the prevention of cancer and losing weight is by reducing dietary and/or metabolic acids that cause cancer and then the fat will automatically and naturally melt away."

"To make the link between cause and effect, we need to tick several boxes," said Dr. Andrew Renehan, the study's lead author and senior lecturer at the School of Cancer Studies at the University of Manchester.
"This study begins to tick the first two or three boxes, but more research is needed to confirm it."

The researchers compiled data from 141 studies and considered more types of cancers and more diverse populations than had been done previously. The research covered more than 280,000 cases from North America, Europe, Australia and Asia.

The subjects, both overweight and normal weight, were followed for about nine to 15 years, with researchers tracking their body mass index, or BMI -- a calculation based on weight and height -- and correlating it with incidents of cancer.

In men, an average weight gain of 33 pounds increased the risk of esophageal cancer by 52 percent, thyroid cancer by 33 percent, and colon and kidney cancers each by 24 percent, the research found.

In women, a weight gain of 29 pounds increased the risk of cancer in the uterus and gall bladder by nearly 60 percent, esophagus by 51 percent and kidney by 34 percent, the study said.

The link was weaker for bone and blood cancers, for both men and women.

In Asian populations, there appeared to be a stronger link between increased BMI and breast cancer, the study said.

"This study provides a lot of circumstantial evidence about the dangers of obesity," said Dr.
David Robbins, a gastroenterologist at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York, who was not involved in the study. "It also highlights the cancer crisis we face as obesity rates increase worldwide."

Scientists are unsure how being overweight could make people more susceptible to cancer.

"One of the hypotheses is that the presence of excess fat cells could affect the levels of hormones in your body," Renehan said. "At a cellular level, that may favor the development of tumors in humans."

According to Dr. Young, "the answer is simple, cancer is a four letter word, A C I D. Eliminate the acids from the body tissues and NO MORE CANCER and NO MORE OVER-WEIGHT or OBESITY. Once the acid cancer is being properly eliminated through the four channels of elimination the body will stop parking its acid on the hips, thighs, buttocks, waistline, breasts and brain."

Because many studies have found that fatter people are more likely to get cancer, experts often recommend losing weight to reduce cancer risk.

Dr. Young states, "overweight and obese people should understand they are not overweight or obese they are over-acid from poor lifestyle and dietary choices.
They should thank God for their fat and realize that it is saving their life. Then they should start alkalizing their blood and tissues with alkaline foods and drinks and watch the weight fall off the body naturally and without effort."

"The simple message is that, if you manage to keep a healthy body weight, you will have a lower risk of developing cancer," said Ed Yong, of Cancer Research United Kingdom.

"The real answer is understanding that the body is alkaline by design and acidic by function. The cause and the cure for cancer is now known. The cause is over-acidity and the cure is in preventing over-acidity by over-alkalizing the blood and tissues," states Dr. Young.

Lower Your Risk For Dementia and Alzheimer's With Healthy Oils, Fruits and Vegetables

A diet rich in omega-3 oils, fruits and vegetables may lower your risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease, according to a study published in the November 13, 2007, issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

For the study, researchers examined the diets of
8,085 men and women over the age of 65 who did not have dementia at the beginning of the study. Over four years of follow-up, 183 of the participants developed Alzheimer's disease and 98 developed another type of dementia.

The study found people who regularly consumed omega-3 rich oils, such as flaxseed oil and walnut oil, reduced their risk of dementia by 60 percent compared to people who did not regularly consume such oils. People who ate fruits and vegetables daily also reduced their risk of dementia by 30 percent compared to those who didn't regularly eat fruits and vegetables.

The study also found people who ate fish at least once a week had a 35-percent lower risk of Alzheimer's disease and 40-percent lower risk of dementia, but only if they did not carry the gene that increases the risk of Alzheimer's, called apolipoprotein E4, or ApoE4.

"Given that most people do not carry the ApoE4 gene, these results could have considerable implications in terms of public health," said study author Pascale Barberger-Gateau, PhD, of INSERM, the French National Institute for Health and Medical Research, in Bordeaux, France. "However, more research is needed to identify the optimal quantity and combination of nutrients which could be protective before implementing nutritional recommendations."

"While we've identified dietary patterns associated with lowering a person's risk of dementia or Alzheimer's, more research is needed to better understand the mechanisms of these nutrients involved in these apparently protective foods," said Barberger-Gateau.

One of the focuses of the pH Miracle Living Lifestyle and Diet Plan is to increase the amount of healthy Omega oils, of 3, 5, 6 and 9's for the following benefits:

1) To buffer metabolic and dietary acids,
2) To provide the foundational material for building cellular membranes of all body cells,
3) For energy purposes,
4) To act as a lubricant for joints,
5) To balance hormones, and
6) To aid in healthy bowel elimination.

I know you would never run your car without oil and I would suggest that it is best not to run your body without Omega oils.

I have suggested that one should ingest between
2 to 3 ounces of mono and polyunsaturated omega oils every day. This amount of oil is based on a 154 lb. man or woman. You would then take more or less oil depending upon your weight.

Some of my favorite oils are:

1) Hemp Oil which has the highest level of Omega 3's from a plant source
2) Flax oil
3) Walnut oil
4) Pumpkin oil
5) Olive oil,
6) Pomegranate oil, the best source of omega
7) Avocado oil which is also available through the pH Miracle Living Center at:
