Nobel Prize winner Dr. Otto Warburg discovered that cancer cells only thrive in a low-oxygen state. When your body cells and tissue are ACIDIC (below pH of 6.5 - 7.0), they lose their ability to exchange oxygen, and cancer cells are able to thrive.
On the other hand, when your body cells and tissue are ALKALINE (above pH of 7.0) cancer cells find it difficult to survive because of the high amount of oxygen present. Alkaline tissue holds 20 times more oxygen than does acidic tissue and this oxygen rich environment prevents further cancer cell growth. In a pH of 8.0 or greater, cancer cells and cancer-causing pathogenic microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungus) cannot survive.
How Can I Make My Body Alkaline and Keep It That Way?
There are 3 important steps you need to take to re-alkalize your body and its cells to alkaline levels to prevent further cancer cell mutations. It is not enough to do just one step - you must do ALL three, otherwise you will see little improvement.
Step 1 : Alkalizing the Body Quickly
"A cancer patient always suffers from over-acidification of the tissues. In order to deprive the tumour of a favourable environment, the tissue-pH value must be changed from acid to alkaline.
Step 2 : Healing Acid-Causing Internal Stress
The body's pH becomes acidic (sick) as opposed to alkaline (healthy) primarily due to depleted adrenaline. Depleted adrenaline levels are primarily caused by prolonged internal stress, as a result of a strong negative emotional and mental reaction to a major stressful event or events in ones life.
Step 3 : Replacing Acid Diet with Alkaline Diet
Nutrition is the third step in re-alkalising the body. Stop consuming things that make acidity levels greater in the body. Cola soda pop is a 2.0! Coffee is a 4! Most beer is somewhere between 2.5-4.2 depending on the brand. People that consume huge amounts of soda pop, coffee and/or beer are usually acidic and are magnets for most illnesses including cancer.
For this reason it is important to eat foods that are highly alkaline, and to also drink water that is highly alkaline. Foods are divided into those that are acidic producing and those that are alkaline producing. IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE CANCER SURVIVOR TO EAT 80% OF ALKALINE FOODS (MINIMUM) AND 20% ONLY NEUTRAL FOODS. Lemons, Watermelon, Figs are extremely alkaline and raw fruit and vegetables especially are very alkaline forming.
