Body-Alkalinization Therapy

A A A

According to the famous nutritionist Dr. Ragnar Berg, we should be eating about 80 percent alkaline forming foods and 20 percent acid forming foods at each meal to keep healthy. A Japanese study shows that most cancer patients have acid constitutions; German biochemists Dr. Otto Warburg hypothesized that hypoxic environment made the normal cell cancerate and the acidification of body fluids is closely associated with hypoxia.

In the process of normal metabolism, the human body generates acid and alkaline substances continuously and ingests them from foods, so the pH level changes constantly. However, due to certain acid-base balance ability, the human body can keep a relative balance between acid and alkali under normal conditions, which is named acid-base balance. In this condition, the resistance of immune cells is the strongest, and the immunological function of the body is the best. When the constitution turns acidic, the activity of immune cells can be reduced greatly and the immunological function will be weakened accordingly, under which the activity of some viruses and bacteria are the strongest, the resistance of immune cells is reduced and body metabolism can slow down, hence the wastes can not be easily discharged and the visceral load increases. Therefore, some medical experts propose that the acidification of the body is likely to be one of the causes for inducing the occurrence of tumors. Studies indicate that the alkalescent and stable internal environment allows full play to the immune function. Through strengthening the body immune function, people’s ability to defeat pathogen and inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells can be improved. As the body-alkalinization therapy can positively regulate the immune system, it is applied for preventing tumors, improving health, etc.

The body-alkalinization therapy mainly includes dietary therapy and drug therapy.

Diet Therapy for Alkaline Constitution
The differentiation between acidity and alkalinity in a food cannot depend on the intuitive reaction or subjective sensation of the food in the mouth. Generally speaking, any food containing more inorganic ingredients such as sulfur, iodine, phosphorics, can be recognized as an acidic food, while it is an alkaline food if it contains more ingredients such as sodium, calcium, potassium, magnesium, iron and copper. Because such foods after ingestion and absorption in the human body can generate influences on the acid-base level of the blood, they are associated with the health of the human body.

In order to maintain the acid-base balance in the body, it’s appropriate to consume more vegetables and fruits such as natural fruit in the daily diet, with an applicable proportion of meat and vegetables as 1:4 or 3:7. Additionally, bad habits must be avoided, such as overstrain of cerebration, eye strain, staying up late and alcoholic intemperance. All of these behavior can consume a large quantity of amino acids and fats in the body within a short time, increase the acidic substances in the metabolites and affect the pH value of the body.

Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy
In 2000, Moss in Arizona of America first applied the bicarbonate therapy clinically to cancer patients with good therapeutic effects. Since 2003, Simonsini in Italy has started to research and clinically apply the bicarbonate therapy to medium and advanced cancer patients. Drug application approaches include oral application, venous injection and intervention. Since 2004, Sirkus has widely applied the bicarbonate therapy to cancers and found that the oral application is better. Integrating patients’ conditions, approaches such as oral application, venous and local injection, intervention, and celiac infusion, have been applied to systemize and standardize the bicarbonate therapy.
