Can Body Ph Balance Be An Early Detection For Cancer?
Water (H2O) ionizes into hydrogen (H+) and hydroxyl (OH-) ions. When these ions are in equal proportions, the pH is a neutral 7. When there are more H+ ions than OH- ions then the water is said to be "acid". If OH- ions outnumber the H+ ions then the water is said to be "alkaline". The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 and is logarithmic, which means that each step is ten times the previous. In other words, a pH of 4.5 is 10 times more acid than 5.5, 100 times more acid than 6.5 and...

If you are not getting the results you expected from your nutritional or herbal program, look for an acid alkaline imbalance. Even the right herbal...
Understanding Your Body pH Balance
High acidity can become a dangerous condition that weakens all major body systems. It makes your internal environment conducive to disease. A pH-balanced environment, on the other hand, allows proper metabolic functioning and gives your body resistance to disease. A healthy body maintains alkaline reserves that are used to meet emergency demands.

Researchers find that most people are at least slightly "acidic"; their pH is low. If your pH is too acidic, your body borrows m...
I Have Strained My Neck, What Do I Do?
