The Role of pH
From Healthy & Natural Journal
February 1998
Virtually all cellular functions are sensitive to alteration of the pH balance of fluids. This is especially true of connective tissue. The body's metabolic processes depend on a precisely balanced pH value of 7.34 to 7.40 within cellular spaces. If it waivers beyond those limits, either higher or lower, certain enzymatic reactions fail to occur and cellular metabolism becomes difficult to regulate. If the pH deviates too far to the acid side, cell metabolism stops as connective tissue cells become poisoned in their own toxic wastes, these cells die.
When connective tissue cells die, they close the critical bridges and passageways between the cardiovascular system and the rest of the cells and organs of the body. Such an effect is disastrous. Indeed, when these bridges are closed, nutrients can no longer be supplied nor can wastes be removed. This causes the plumbing to back-up on itself, dumping acids back into the bloodstream and other critical organs.
As more and more acid is accumulated, and storage capacity is exhausted, the body slowly begins to "stew" in its own acid poisonous wastes. Without warning, acid wastes begin to silently corrode the veins and arteries, destroying cell walls and then entire organs. The damage caused is compounded daily, becoming more aggressive and deadly over time.
An acid pH is so corrosively and insidiously destructive that it's considered the seed bed of most, if not all, degenerative diseases including: stroke, heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, cancer, immune deficiencies and neurological dysfunction. The imbalance of the body pH, causing toxic acid wastes, is the real killer, because it's the beginning of so many deadly diseases.

The key to understanding pH is simple: pH, or the degree of acidity and alkalinity of a solution, is measured on a (logarithmic) scale of 1 to 14. Anything with a pH value of less than 7.0 is considered acid or acidic. The lower the number of pH, the greater the acidity. The higher the number of pH, the greater the degree of alkalinity or baseness. Anything with a pH of greater than 7.0 is considered alkaline or base.
Therefore, vinegar with a pH of 3.0 is more acidic than seawater with a pH of 8.0. Oven cleaner with a pH of 13.0 is more alkaline or base than the water in the Great Salt Lake, which has a pH of 10.0. Neutral solutions have a pH of 7.0. The body prefers the slightly alkaline solution of 7.4, and if it drops below this for any length of time, it will suffer from a score of degenerative diseases. The lower limit of blood pH at which a person can live more than a few hours is about 6.8, and the upper limit is about 8.0.
What actually is being measured here is the amount of free hydrogen ions (H+) in solution; free H+ combines with certain heavy metals to form acids. Therefore, acidic solutions have greater free H+ concentration potentials than those that are base or alkaline. Alkaline solutions have less free H+ concentration potentials, but greater OH- concentration potentials which combine with metals to form bases or alkalines. A normal pH is in the area of 7.34 and 7.40, a slightly more acid profile, because body cells dump as much free hydrogen (H+) as possible, buffering the blood as much as possible.
Urine pH: In a pH balanced body, urine is slightly acid in the morning, (pH. 6.5-7.0) generally becoming more alkaline (pH balanced pH value of blood (pH=7.4) and shows that the kidneys need not eliminate an excess of acid or base in its fluids, and can handle normal imbalances or excesses quite easily and safely. Outside this range implies that cells are being burdened with caustic (corrosive & burning; destructive to tissue) pH fluids within and without their surroundings. Long term experience outside this range is dangerous and will begin to corrode the body, and most importantly the tissues of the cardiovascular system. However, the pH of urine can range from an extremely unhealthy low of 4.5 to a high of 8.5, which it tolerates a little easier, depending on the acid-base status of the extra cellular fluids. Generally, when urine pH is 6.0 and below for extended periods of time, it is an indication that the body's fluids elsewhere are too acid, and it is working overtime to rid itself of an acid medium. Thus, when urine pH is normal, then blood pH is normal, but when urine pH is overly acid, blood pH is likely below 7.35, which is dangerously acidic for the blood.
