Alkaline is the English synonym for basic, since Bronsted Lowry acid - base theory of 1923 the term alkali in chemistry was restricted to those salts containing alkali earth metal elements especially for soluble bases. Alkalis are known to have pH (potential of hydrogen) greater than 7 that dissolve in water such as bicarbonate. Alkali comes from the Arabic al-qalyan meaning base, this term was often used with pharmaceuticals by the Moors (Aboriginal Africans) who early occupation of the Iberien Peninsula, around 711A.D. by the Great General Tariq ibn Ziyad who lead a troop of 6,700 aboriginal Africans and 300 Arabs crossed the straits and disembarked near a rock promontory which from that day since has borne his name from the Arabic Djabal Tariq which means the mountain of Tariq or Gibraltar. You can visit the oldest pharmacy in Europe which is now a museum, located in Penaranda de Duero Spain which was established by the Moors, using ground coral which is highly alkaline for its beneficial effects on the heart and brain. Alkalinity measure the ability of a solution to neutralize acids. Dr. A. Szent-Gyorgy stated, The body is alkaline by design but acidic by function. Every living cell within our body creates metabolized waste which is acid. The nutrients from our food are delivered to each cell and they burn with oxygen to provide energy for us to live. The burned nutrients are called metabolized waste. Whether you eat the best of foods or the worst, all foods generate metabolized waste. Foods are classified as alkaline or acid, based on the oxidized remains of our food and the amount and quality of the waste products it produces. Alkaline Foods produces very little waste and acidic foods produces large amounts of waste, the more acid the more metabolic waste. Most of our cells go through metabolism and these old dead cells also become waste products. Our body will discharge this waste through urine, bile, and perspiration. Basically, all waste products are acid. The real problem is that our body can’t get rid of 100% of the waste it produces which causes an over load of toxicity. With out proper elimination of these acid waste these waste products become solid wastes, such as, micro toxins, toxins, fungus, bacteria, mucus etc. and, unknown to us they accumulate and build up in our blood, organs, and tissue. This accumulation of non-disposed waste product of cellular disorganization and metabolized acid waste within our body accelerates the depletion of minerals and other nutrient, causes disease, and stimulates the aging process. Eating and drinking alkaline foods and water helps our bodies to remove and neutralize acid wastes and make it easier for the body to dispose of them. The reduction of acid wastes retards the aging process maybe even reversing it. Alkaline foods and water consumed regularly reduces the metabolic acid wasted build up, allowing a natural and healthy environment. Should we eat some acid foods for Balance? No, thru our research we know that our body must maintain alkalinity to survive. We have to remember that balance is neutral, neither alkaline nor acid. Our blood pH level is 7.4 and the cellular fluid level is about 7.2. In spite of the fact that our cells produce acidic wastes constantly, our body fluids must maintain an alkaline pH level to survive. Our food must be alkaline; it’s the only way to neutralize the acid our bodies produce. Our bodies work very hard to dispose of acidic waste, eating acidic foods makes it harder and compound the acid making it even harder for our bodies to eliminate waste. Our bodies produce lactic acid and carbon dioxide through movement, this makes the blood acidic. Eating acid foods containing phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid causes oxidation in the body. They are removed through urine, perspiration, respiration and defecation. All of these have a low pH level except bile. When the bile becomes acidic it can cause colon and rectal cancers. Also when we exhale, releasing carbon dioxide, we are ridding the body of carbonic acid, which also causes acidic waste. With all it’s effort our body gives toward the removal of acid waste, we still make more waste than our body can get rid of. When we retain acids in our tissues and organs we begin to spoil and die. With proper elimination of these acids from our blood, organs and tissue we can live a long and healthy life.
