PH (Potential Hydrogen) is a system used to measure levels of Acidity/Alkalinity in water soluble substances. Being that Humans are made up of about 70% water, PH is a very effective way to measure and regulate the overall quality of metabolic bodily functions in Humans, which is crucial to our Vitality.
The PH scale measures Acidity and Alkalinity on a range from 0 to 14, with 7 (Tap Water) being neutral right in the middle. The lower 0-6 range being Acidic mucus forming (Pork, Vinegar, Beef, Soda, Pasta, Coffee, Milk) and the higher 7-14 range being Alkaline mucus fighting (Spinach, Cucumbers, Lemons, Grapes, Carrots, Mangos, Avocados, Melons).
Human beings have a blood type that should always remain balanced right between 7 and 8 on the PH scale to maintain optimal health & performance. Once you allow the PH in your blood to start ranging below 7, your body will start to become Acidic (Metabolic Acidosis) and will generate excess amounts of “Mucus” throughout your body to neutralize that acidity. It’s a natural defense response by your body, similar to the way you sweat when your body gets hot. Have you ever noticed when you get sick that you become congested in your Lungs, Chest, and Head ? You’re nose starts running, your lungs and throat may feel irritated, maybe even a cough. That is Mucus being released by mucus membranes inside of your body in a natural effort to protect you from Acidity. If human blood becomes completely Acidic, death is Certain.
“Many people don’t realize that illness is more often than not, simply just a Reaction, and is surely preventable.”
Once Mucus starts forming in your body, your body will work to eliminate that mucus out through any eliminating organ available. (Liver, Kidneys, Lungs, Intestines, Skin). Over time, this mucus will cause Stagnation or “Constipation” in those certain areas of your body where elimination is taking place, mainly your Filtering systems (Kidneys, Liver, Lymphatic, Immune) All of these systems in your body are designed to flush out Toxins to keep your engine running smoothly. Just like a motor vehicle, you must maintain these functioning parts to avoid corrosion, and ultimately serious malfunction.
When we constantly put our body in an Acidic environment by consuming Mucus forming foods, we begin to create Stagnation or Constipation (Mucus Build Up, or Blockage) throughout the body, and that is when we start experiencing complications in Health: Dis-ease, illness, cancer, even what are known as “Globulations” a term used for Growths or mucus build up also known as Tumors, Cysts, etc.
When you get sick, experience dis-ease, tumors, pimples, hair loss, even joint problems or digestive issues, these are all reactions of what you are exposing your body to on the interior, and exterior. These are all signs that your body is becoming acidic, and is attempting to flush out Toxins that have entered, or have generated inside of your body.
“If you are sick, the last thing you want to do is eat mucus forming foods; Eggs, cheese, coffee. I would suggest a good 16 hour Fast, or a strict Alkaline diet for 48 hours. A lot of lemons and limes, cucumbers are good too.”
The absolute best way to avoid Mucus build up, Stagnation, and Dis-ease in your body is to always try to keep the PH in your blood balanced more toward the Alkaline side of the spectrum. The best thhing you can do to achieve this is to avoid eating Acidic foods as much as possible, and try to incorporate more Alkaline foods into your daily eating habits.
They say ideally that humans should be consuming a balanced diet of less than 20% Acidic Foods, and 80% Alkaline foods, but personally I recommend a Whole Foods, Plant Based Diet to everyone I work with because of the endless benefits you will experience internally and externally. From better digestion & colon health, optimal circulation and heart health, clearer skin, healthier hair and nails, even mental clarity, improved mood, and confidence! All just from avoiding mucus forming foods.
There was once a brilliant doctor named Arnold Ehret who came up with the “Equation of Life” V=P-O (Vitality=Power-Obstruction) Vitality being life, Power being health, and Obstruction being Mucus Constipation.
What if I told you that YOU have all of the resources necessary to take complete control of your own health, never get sick, and almost completely eliminate your medical dependencies with your doctor? With better choices, self-discipline, and more control, you can achieve complete Vitality on your own.
A Plant Based diet is the ideal diet for Homo Sapiens, comprised almost entirely of foods that are Non Mucus Forming, and foods that promote Alkalinity & Neutralize acidity ! Another VERY effective way to Detox your body and regenerate damaged cells, is by allowing your body to completely empty itself out or what’s known as “Fasting”! We will discuss that in our Next lesson. You can find a general PH Chart with Food List on our blog PlantBasedNM.tumblr.com
