Acidity and alkalinity are measured according to the pH (potential of hydrogen) scale. Water, with a pH of 7.0 is considered neutral - neither acid or alkaline. Any substance with a pH below 7.0 is considered acid, becoming more acid as it approaches 1. Any substance with a pH ABOVE 7.0 is considered alkaline, becoming more alkaline up to a limit of 14.0 In chronic illness, pH level concerns focus on whether the fluid characteristics of the host human favor the growth of destructive-to-human forms of bacteria, fungi, virus, or other parasites. While many of these forms are anerobic forms, dependent upon carbon dioxide, not all are. Carbon dioxide dissolved in water yields an acidic solution with below 7.0 pH. Of possible confusion in this area is the fact that such parasites may have wide ranges of optimum growth pH levels which run from 6.0 to 7.6 (Clostridium sporogenes), largely harmless. Clostridium perfringens, is similar, and a common cause of food poisoning. Health enhancing variations may share a range of 5.8 to 6.6 (Lactobacillus acidophilus) and be unable to survive in a more alkaline higher pH. Fungi usually grow best in environments that are slightly acidic (a pH measurement of 5 or so) but can also do well in higher pH levels. Keep in mind that healthy fungi contribute to human health by generating growth factors and vitamins from some of what we eat. We use fungi to make most of our breads and other forms to make antibiotics ... to destroy harmful bacteria. Antibiotics frequently overpopulate to the point of creating their own best pH, a low acid pH, from the deteriorating dead bacteria. This can become an ideal environment for the encouragement of anerobic toxic fungi, including Candida Albicans, mutated forms of a healthful form of Candida! The human body is SLIGHTLY acidic when it is in a state of health. This limits fungal and bacteria growth on the skin or in the body. Some areas of the body are more acidic than this to address local issues and microbial populations. Medical tests for pH level are usually a reference of the BLOOD pH level. The Ideal range for the human BODY is suggested, by some sources, as between 6.1 and 7.0. Others indicate a preference for 6.5 to 7.5, taking into account variances during the day in accord with metabolic cycles. Some authors advocate attempting to reach high alkalinity levels, apparently unaware that the highly alkaline ammonia is as deadly and corrosive as the highly acidic sulfuric acid. Small variations from a neutral level of 7.0 are practical norms. North American blood levels often fall between 7.25 and 7.45, which is slightly alkaline. When blood pH falls between towards 6.35 (too acidic) hemoglobin in the blood deteriorates and the red blood cells cannot carry adequate oxygen to the tissues. When muscles, and connective tissues are too acidic, acidosis is experienced. A healthy vagina produces a normal discharge which acts as a natural cleanser and when maintaining an acidic pH level of 3.5 to 4.5 (very acidic), it keeps a balance between healthy and unhealthy bacteria, fungi and viruses in that area. Fungal and other parasitic overgrowths tend to occur when the tissue pH is too alkaline, which would be restrained by a slightly acidic level. The pH level of one's breath will be a combination of the pH level of the air being exhausted from the lungs plus the influence of pH levels in the sinuses and the mouth. Sinusitis is often a result of a fungal infection and will influence breath pH. Gingivitis is the result of unhealthy bacteria and will influence the pH of the breath. Deteriorating mercury amalgams (usually older than 7 to 10 years) will outgas mercury and influence the pH of the breath as well as encouraging unhealthy bacterial and fungal contaminations. Heavy metals are bioaggregated by both bacteria and fungi who appear to thrive on such ingredients until they reach high levels. In other words, fungi and bacteria survive, and even thrive at low levels of heavy metals toxicity, while humans experience a depression of the organ systems they have when exposed to the same low levels. By the time the levels in the human body become great enough to start depressing the life systems of the fungi and bacteria present, if that were possible, the human would be dead! The presence of heavy metals also changes the pH level in favor of these lifeforms, more acidic. Regardless of source, heavy metals exposure to humans increases the opportunity for parasitic mutation and proliferation, decreases the activity of the immune system, increases emotional depression leading to lower self-esteem and slower pro-active behaviors, and modifies the pH level considerably in the direction of acidity due to cellular degradation. Maintaining health, without reducing the sources of cellular deterioration, including heavy metals AND parasites, is dependent upon effective cellular and organ cleansing together with an elevated alkaline pH. Eliminating the unhealthful conditions of heavy metals and fungal-bacterial-viral invasion and destruction will necessarily require and provide a higher than healthy short-term low pH level. This both indicates the level of detoxing taking place with the die off of the biological contaminants plus the higher than normal acidic, lower pH levels necessary to release the heavy metals from the cells. Unless one is going to persistently grow cells and not discard worn out and dead cells, one is unlikely to have an overly alkaline urine pH. The ideal pH for the human body will vary from individual to individual and compensate for a variety of factors including these: The manner in which one interacts with their environment and themselves will influence their pH level. As the above factors change, through building, release, action, frequency, and modification --- so they will add to the alkaline-acid balance of their body. To the extent that these factors remain relatively constant, the ideal pH of one's body will be slightly higher or lower than the optimum pH for the human species IF placed in an Ideal environment where positive stresses outweighed the negative ones. To reach the Optimum pH, the factors above, would act on the ideal pH of a particular person's body so as to influence it up, or down, to the optimum pH. Persons who are intense and/or passionate will tend to exert more influence on their pH balance from day to day than someone less so. Here are a few examples of emotional and environmental influence of human pH: Acidosis, in which the body chemistry becomes overly acidic, and can result from: REMEDIES for Acidosis include: Alkalosis, in which the body is too alkaline, is often the result of SYMPTOMS of Alkalosis include: REMEDIES for Alkalosis include:
