In our last blog post, The Alkaline Environment & Your Digestive Health, we talked about how having a balanced pH in the body is essential to prevent diseases and have good health. In this blog, we’ll explore some ways to help your body maintain a healthy pH.

Your body’s pH determines if your body’s fluids are more alkaline or acidic. When your body is in an alkaline state, your chances of getting sick with chronic diseases decrease.

If your body is more often in an acidic state than a neutral one, your risk of contracting chronic illnesses, weight gain, teeth and gum problems, pain and inflammation increases. A condition of high acidity may go undetected for years, which may lead to prolonged damage.

Most people don’t stop to consider the acid/alkaline balance in their blood, but an optimal pH is actually crucial to one’s health. Human blood is a solution, meaning that it is made up of a uniform distribution inside a liquid.

Having a balanced pH protects our bodies from the inside out. 

Some even say that diseases and disorders cannot grow in a body whose pH is in balance. An imbalanced pH allows unhealthy organisms to grow, damages tissues and organs, and hurts the immune system.

Eating an alkaline diet can produce tremendous results —and I would like to add that it’s not just the latest Hollywood fad like many ways of eating!

 

Eating alkaline as a long-term approach is simple and something everyone can do.  Here are 10 simple tips to get started:

10 Quick Tips on How to Add More Alkaline Foods to Your Diet:

1. Eat more veggies and fruits. Even if you don’t go any further down this list, taking this one step can instantly make a huge difference.

 



2. Reduce soda intake, or eliminate it altogether.

 

 

3. Replace refined carbs with roots and gourds.



4. Add fresh lemon and lime to your water. Though we typically think of citrus fruits as acidic, they’re highly alkalizing in the body (limes especially).



5. Consider cooking with sea vegetables. For some of you, I know this is “out of the question!” But if you’re willing to try new ingredients, why not experiment with packaged sea veggies available in the health-food or Asian section of your supermarket?



6. Drink 64 ounces of high-mineral spring water daily.

 

 

7. Limit animal protein. Try to limit your animal protein sources (beef, chicken, pork, eggs, and dairy products) to 1 serving or less per day and increase plant-based protein sources.

 

 

8. Add cinnamon, ginger, and other herbs and spices.

 

 

9. Monitor your urinary pH. Track your first morning urine pH (after at least 6 hours of sleep) to know how your nutritional changes are affecting your body. 

 Put simply, pH is a measurement of how acidic or alkaline something is.

The pH value ranges from 0–14:

●  Acidic: 0.0–6.9

●  Neutral: 7.0

●  Alkaline (or basic): 7.1–14.0

 

 

10. Supplement your diet with a high-quality multivitamin–mineral complex. No matter how attentive we are to what we eat, where it’s from, and how we dish it up, we can’t always have a perfectly balanced diet. Gain peace of mind with a top-notch bone-healthy supplement.

 

Except for changes in the pH of our saliva and urine, the foods we eat can’t alter our body’s pH, which is tightly regulated. 

Under the premise of the Alkaline Diet, working toward a healthy, balanced pH involves making smarter eating choices to emphasize consuming alkaline-forming foods. 

Many of these are plant-based foods. In addition to the eating regimen, the Alkaline Diet plan may call for you to alter your behavior to eliminate habits that theoretically increase acidity. 

 

These include habits such as smoking and tobacco use; drinking alcohol; ingesting coffee, soda and other stimulants; and drug abuse. According to the Alkaline Diet, being constantly dehydrated, overdoing workouts and having a sedentary lifestyle can impact your pH, too.
Foods that tend to cause more acidity in the body and that you may need to limit or avoid include:
● grains
● sugar
● certain dairy products
● fish
● processed foods
● fresh meats and processed meats, such as corned beef and turkey
● sodas and other sweetened beverages
● high-protein foods and supplements

Research supporting the connection between foods like animal protein and dairy and chronic disease due to a change in the body’s pH is limited. New research may shed more light on this connection, or expose other reasons why reducing animal products is beneficial for health.

The alkaline diet is a healthy alternative that may work due more to the emphasis on consuming plants and limiting processed foods than to changing the body’s pH.

Eating more fruits and vegetables, along with curbing your refined carbohydrate, sugar, and dairy intake, may or may not help balance pH levels within your body.

Either way, a plant-heavy diet with reduced refined sugar intake has many health benefits and may reduce daily issues and lower the possibility of certain long-term health risks.

By extracting, stabilizing, and concentrating the active healing ingredients in aloe, DigestaCure® AUTOIMMUNE-X® contains over Sixty Eight (68) times the active healing ingredients compared to any other product, as confirmed via independent size-exclusion chromatography testing. NOTHING Comes Close to The Endless Health Benefits of DigestaCure® AUTOIMMUNE-X®

From the Published Research Studies, and my direct experience, the active ingredients in DigestaCure® AUTOIMMUNE-X®:

  • Are incorporated into the cell membranes throughout the body, enhancing the membranes effectiveness regarding a number of known functions.
  • Create a dramatic overall improvement of the assimilation of nutrients through the digestive tract, AND the intake of nutrients through the cell membranes.
  • Help stop and prevent the damage and leakage of the intestinal wall (leaky-gut syndrome), thereby alleviating the stress from the immune system.
  • Protect the mucous membranes lining the respiratory, gastrointestinal, and genitourinary tracts resulting in an increased resistance to infections, irritations, inflammation, and subsequently tissue lining degeneration.
  • Restore the glycocalyx coatings on the surfaces of killer cells enabling the killer cells to identify disease causing germs and destroy them, instead of blindly attacking the tissues of the body (Anti-Autoimmunity).
  • Provide much of the language (coding) of The Code of Life for cellular recognition, intracellular communication, and communication between cells (intercellular) and the immune system.
  • Possess immune modulating and immune stimulating effects. Stimulate accurate antibody production (by leukocytes) and an increase in the number of accurate killer T-cells produced. This expresses the tremendous importance in these immune stimulating functions. The levels of accurate antibodies present in our blood directly affects our ability to destroy pathogenic (disease causing) organisms. The killer T-cells are among our first line of defense in destroying dangerous bacteria and viruses and may even protect us from those responsible for an array of cancers.
  • Possess anti-inflammatory functions particularly effective in autoimmune diseases, due in part to the specific inhibition of leukotriene B-4, a highly pro-inflammatory substance.
  • Are likely to reduce the incidence of cancer, stroke, and heart disease, along with all autoimmune diseases. This is due primarily to the scientifically established fact that chronic inflammation increases the incidence of these conditions.
  • Contain antioxidant and free radical scavengers. The importance of antioxidants to overall health and longevity is profound. Antioxidants prevent the destruction of DNA by protecting the strands form the free radicals responsible for the destruction of DNA. Research indicates that the amounts and quality of antioxidants we consume are directly proportional to how long we will live and the quality of our lives.
  • Enhance the excretion of toxins from the cells, both intracellular and extracellular, by a unique process known as exocytosis.
  • Possess anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-yeast, anti-fungal, anti-mold, and anti-parasitic effects which are of particular interest especially today, linked to the increased incidence of antibiotic resistant strains of pathogens that are no longer responsive to treatment. This further establishes why the ingestion of these active ingredients are so helpful in preventing, normalizing, and correcting so many digestive tract disorders.
  • Possess hypoglycemic and blood sugar normalizing functions in both Type I and Type II diabetics.
  • Contain an insulin-like growth factor that lowers the required amount of insulin needed to maintain normal blood sugar levels.
  • Reduce the amount of insulin needed, thereby reducing cardiovascular risk factors and stress on the pancreas and likely increasing its useful life.
  • Enhance chemotaxis, the migration of immune cells to a site of injury or infection, eliminating infections, and thereby initiating the repair and healing response; promoting tissue growth and regeneration.
  • Support and Protect the Endothelial Glycocalyx, the critical lining protecting the arteries. See Below:

Stem cell therapy doctors are finding that patients taking DigestaCure® AUTOIMMUNE-X® over periods of months, possess up to 1000% (Ten Times) Higher Healthy Stem Cell Counts.

Stem Cells Can Heal and Regenerate

Stem cells are the foundation cells for our bodies. These highly specialized cells that make up our organs and tissues, originally came from an initial pool of stem cells that formed shortly after fertilization. Throughout our lives, we continue to rely on persisting stem cells to repair injured tissues and replace cells that are lost every day, such as those in our skin, hair, blood, muscles, nerves, lining of our gut, brain and all other the organs and glands.

For centuries, men of medicine were under the assumption that when injury, such as a cut through the skin, fat and muscle occurred, that by cleaning and binding the wound together, the muscles and skin would grow into each other, thus healing the wound. By the 1960s, with the help from microscopes and modern technology, man discovered that it was actually stem cells filling the gap of the wound, “differentiating” or transforming themselves into muscle, fat, and skin cells needed to mend the wound.

Dr. Melvin M. Propis, M.D.: “In all my years of performing stem cell therapies, I have never witnessed healthy adult stem cell counts coming close to those patients who had been taking DigestaCure® AUTOIMMUNE-X®. I am now taking the AUTOIMMUNE-X myself, and recommend it to every appropriate patient before and after stem cell therapy. I believe it creates a Total Body Homeostasis, conducive for strong healthy adult stem cell replication.”

How Powerful are They? Can Stem Cells Heal Damage as Severe as Paralyzation?

When Kristopher Boesen of Bakersfield regained consciousness after losing control of his car while driving in wet conditions, he was paralyzed from the neck down. The prognosis was grim: he was told that he might never regain control of his limbs again.

But he has. At least some of them. He has movement in his upper body and can use his arms and hands. He can feed himself, text friends and family and even hug them. To him, this means that he has his life back. How did this miracle come about?

Kris was offered the opportunity to participate in a human clinical trial at the University of Southern California and Asterias Biotherapeutics. He is one of five previously paralyzed patients who experienced increased mobility after being treated with Stem Cells.

Practitioners are discovering that DigestaCure® AUTOIMMUNE-X® aggressively promotes an environment of Total Body Homeostasis. By Andrea Larsen, Licensed Nutritional Consultant
Total Body Homeostasis or Total Physiologic Stability is a bodily status where all Systems, Organs, and Cells are functioning perfectly as designed, without interference from physiologic stress, disease, or premature aging (deterioration). Homeostasis is characteristic of a system that regulates its internal environment and maintains a stable, relatively constant condition of properties. It is a state where all bodily parameters and markers exist within a normal range of values. This is the proverbial “State of Perfect Health.” Total Body Homeostasis is key to life, and failures in homeostasis can lead to hundreds of various diseases, and premature aging. Homeostasis can be defined as an Ease or normalcy of bodily functions and processes. Disease or Dis-Ease can be defined as trouble, – the lack of Ease. In my 35 years of experience, I have continually witnessed that many patients can ingest all of the best foods and quality supplements available, never reach Homeostasis, and still fall victim to disease and premature aging.

Imagine ingesting One Substance, containing the properties which create the very foundation necessary for Total Body Homeostasis, whereupon all other quality substances ingested then may have access to perform their individual benefits. I have found this substance to be DigestaCure® AUTOIMMUNE-X®, and the healings I have accomplished in the last 2 years I have used it with patients, far outweigh all of the former.

Dr. Derrick DeSilva, M.D., and Dr. Jeffrey Gladden, MD, FACC throw new light on the question by looking at the endothelial glycocalyx. That’s the microscopic film covering and protecting the vascular endothelium within the arteries.

“It is the clotting in response to plaque disruption, not the plaque accumulation in the arteries per se that poses the real threat. 75% of heart attacks occur at arteries that are less than 50% blocked…”

“To protect endothelial function, we must support its existing natural protection, the endothelial glycocalyx.”

International Journal of Biological Sciences: “Alterations of endothelial cells and the vasculature play a central role in the pathogenesis of a broad spectrum of the most dreadful of human diseases, as endothelial cells have the key function of participating in the maintenance of patent and functional capillaries. The endothelium is directly involved in peripheral vascular disease, stroke, heart disease, diabetes, insulin resistance, chronic kidney failure, tumor growth, metastasis, venous thrombosis, and severe viral infectious diseases. Dysfunction of the vascular endothelium is thus a hallmark of human diseases.” Int J Biol Sci. 2013; 9(10): 1057–1069.

The endothelial glycocalyx protective linings are made up of and supported by the glycoproteins and other stabilized components found in DigestaCure® AUTOIMMUNE-X®.
