3. The
True Cause of Cancer
"The Hidden Truth of Cancer" book
by Dr. Keiichi Morishita explained that if the blood accumulates excess
acidic wastes in an acidic condition year after year, the steady increase in
acidity causes the cells to die, thus creating a platform for cancer growth.
Herman Aihara, in his
book "Acid & Alkaline", wrote:
"If the condition of our extra cellular fluids, especially the blood, becomes
acidic, our physical condition will first manifest tiredness, proneness to
catching colds, etc. When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then
manifests pains and suffering such as headaches, chest pains, stomach aches,
etc."
Dr. Warburg states that the
primary cause of cancer is the lack of oxygen in a cell. He didn’t say what
caused the lack of oxygen. Mr. Aihara talks about the acidification of extra
cellular fluids that causes cancer.
Dr. Warburg was addressing the
symptom and problems leading to acid build-ups rather than the cause. For this
reason, Dr. Warburg’s solution is to supply more oxygen, while Mr. Aihara’s
solution is to reduce the acidity, the very cause of degenerative diseases, and
concludes that to reverse degenerative diseases the drinking of water with high
alkaline pH can de-acidify the body and help prevent cancer and other
degenerative diseases.
CANCER CELLS HAVE AN ACIDIC pH
AND ARE OXYGEN DEPLETED, WHEREAS HEALTHY CELLS HAVE A SLIGHTLY ALKALINE pH AND A
HIGH OXYGEN CONTENT.
Consider that in light of Dr.
Warburg's research: ‘EVERY TIME HE LOWERED THE OXYGEN LEVEL IN A HEALTHY
CELL IT BECAME CANCEROUS.’
You can raise your pH and oxygen
level naturally.
Something About Alkaline
Therapies
When you drink alkaline water, you are drinking water with excess
oxygen, not in the form of O2, but in the form of OH-, which is very
stable because it is mated with positively ionized alkaline minerals. Two of
these hydroxyl ions can form a water molecule (H2O) and give out one
oxygen atom. The alkaline mineral is used to detoxify poisonous acid compounds
and when that happens, the hydroxyl ion is freed to supply excess oxygen to the
cells to prevent the development of malignant cells. Therefore, you can see that
the alkaline water serves two purposes in this instance.
Of the two kinds of oxygen, one
is in a dynamic form, O2, and the other is in the stable bias form of
OH- matched with positively ionized alkaline minerals. The body needs both kinds
of oxygen. If you hold your breath, O2 is cut off and you die. If
your body pH goes down below 7, OH- is cut off and you would likewise die. When
breathing stops, first O2 is used up, and then the body will use up
the OH- secondly, after which death will occur. That takes about three minutes.
People with high alkalinity, like babies, would survive a wee bit longer.
Why is there no cancer of
the Heart?
In 1933, Dr. Warburg discovered oxygen-transferring enzymes of cell respiration,
and in 1944 he discovered the active groups of the hydrogen transferring
enzymes. Cancer is not compatible with a healthy pH environment full of oxygen.
Note that primary cancer of the heart does not exist. Why? Because blood flowing
from the lungs into the heart is at its highest pH and highest oxygen level than
found anywhere else in the entire body. As blood travels through the lungs,
acidic toxins are removed from the system, and oxygen drawn in.
Cancer of the heart exists as a
secondary condition only.
As Dr Wolfe says: ‘The
acid/alkaline theory is going to be the foundational health decision of people
in the next five years. We now have the opportunity to permanently change 75% of
our body from an acidic liability and breeding ground for germs, to a natural
alkaline state; a state we are designed to live in before we polluted our planet
and our bodies’.
Acidification of the body starts
in the blood. The blood performs a balancing act in order to maintain the blood
pH within the safe range of 7.3 to 7.45. The blood has a buffer pool of sodium
bicarbonate to neutralize strong acid compounds coming out of the cells as waste
products of the metabolism. When this buffer level is too low, acidosis is
developed.
Dr. Kancho Kuninaka, one
of the pioneers of the alkaline water treatment in Japan, states that virtually
without exception, the patients with high blood pressure have an acidosis
condition. He has many successful clinical cases where the acid free pH alkaline
water lowered blood pressure.
4. Kidney Disease
As the body consumes toxins, the
kidneys become over-burdened with acid wastes. Nephritis, uraemia poisoning, and
bladder diseases are all acid related conditions, which can be helped greatly by
alkalizing the bloodstream. Kidney stones begin as tiny specks; they gradually
build into solid stones, composed of phosphates, urates, etc. They are another
form of acidic salts. Drinking plenty of alkaline water will prevent kidney
stones from forming, and even after their formation, it can help dissolve them.
The pancreas produces very high
pH body fluids, pancreatic juice, with its pH value of about 8.8. A shortage of
calcium ions in the body impairs the production and the release of the insulin
hormone. This in due course leads to an acidic blood condition. Congested blood
vessels caused by excess protein buildup also impairs pancreatic function.
Alkaline water, by supplying calcium in an ionized form and by helping prevent
excess protein buildup, can prevent and help reverse this condition.
5. Osteoporosis: Every Woman’s Nightmare
Many women worry about taking too
much calcium supplement, believing that it may lead to calcium deposits. All
calcium deposits within the body have been found to be leached from the body and
not from nutritional calcium. The true cause of calcium deposits is lack of
hydrogen, alkaline minerals and proper cleansing, which precipitates a state of
crisis, causing calcium to be commandeered away from the body tissue and bones
due to acidosis.
In Asia, and especially in Japan
and Korea, alkaline water is regularly served to patients under treatment.
Drinking alkaline water could help in preventing cancer and degenerative
diseases mentioned earlier because it helps to reduce acid wastes.
6. High Blood Pressure, Heart Disease and Atherosclerosis
The high-blood pressure pills are
designed to fool your body by chemical means to force the blood pressure down.
That is why virtually all the blood pressure pill has side effects. Unless you
are lowering the acid level in the blood, which is the real cause of the high
blood pressure, everything else is going to be more harmful and you have to take
the pills for the rest of your life. Remember that the blood pressure is high
because your body, always fighting for survival, is trying to compensate for
some deficiency in your body.
High Blood Pressure and
Acidosis Dr. Kancho Kuninaka, one of the pioneers of the
alkaline water treatment in Japan, states that virtually without exception, the
patients with high blood pressure have an acidosis condition. He has many
successful clinical cases where the acid free pH alkaline water lowered blood
pressure.
There are several probable
explanations for this observable fact. Since the higher pH blood contains excess
oxygen, the heart does not have to work as hard. Another factor may be that the
viscosity of the higher pH blood is low so that the heart does not need to pump
as hard. A further reason may be that the calcium ions in alkaline water may be
dissolving plaque and cholesterol build-up in the artery walls, thus opening up
the passage allowing blood to flow more easily.
If you take several deep breaths
right before the blood pressure measurement, you can get a lower reading. What
you have achieved is to temporarily elevate the pH of the blood by breathing out
more CO2 and by breathing in more O2. If you can lower your blood pressure by
using this exercise, your high blood pressure may be caused by the one or both
of the first two causes listed earlier, and you should be able to lower your
blood pressure within a few months of drinking alkaline water.
The above example is the case
where your blood pressure fluctuates between high and low. However, if your
blood pressure is always high, chances are that your arteries are getting narrow
(atherosclerosis) and it will take a long time, possibly a few years, for that
blood pressure to come down by means of alkaline water. It takes time to
dissolve plaque and cholesterol build-up but eventually it will work. This slow
process has no side effects. It lowers the blood pressure by eliminating the
very causes of the high blood pressure.
Blood Pressure and
Smoking According to an article from Sang Whang author
of ‘Reverse Aging’, he tells of a friend of his in Tampa, Florida who was
telling him about her peculiar blood pressure problem. ‘She had to go to her
doctor’s office several times a week to measure her blood pressure. She was
taking the blood pressure pills but wanted to cut them out, and her doctor
wanted to make sure that it was all right to do so.,
The peculiar part of her problem
was that at the end of a hectic day at the office, she would be sure of the high
pressure, but her blood pressure measured normal. However, during the weekend
when she had been relaxing at home, watching TV and reading books, her blood
pressure measured alarmingly high, so high that the nurse had to call the doctor
in.
As she was telling him this
story, he observed that she smoked. So he told her that the fact that her blood
pressure went up and down indicated to him that her problem may be caused by the
oxygen level in her blood going up and down. Then he told her that her smoking
would lower the oxygen level in her blood.
She looked at him with wide eyes
and said: “You know, Sang? We are not allowed to smoke in our office!” Her
definition of relaxing at home meant smoking and watching TV, etc. He told her
that she didn’t have a blood pressure problem, but that she had a smoking
problem. She said that she would have to work on that.’
Blood Pressure and Sugar
For people with hypertension, doctors advise them not to eat too much
fatty food, to cut down on meat, and to stop smoking. They should add “cut out
soft drinks” to that list. What have all these things have in common? The answer
is that they all rob your body of oxygen. Smoking not only reduces the available
oxygen from your body but the nicotine has the effect of narrowing capillary
vessels. We know by now that all of the acidic foods and drinks lower your blood
oxygen level, but no mention of sugar has been made.
Sugar grabs oxygen with the
highest priority. Mr. Gregory Grosbard of Miami, USA received a U.S.
patent on improving plastic strength by using sugar. Each time plastic material
goes though a heat cycle it loses strength, because oxygen in the atmosphere
goes into the material under heat, creating oxygen “holes”. As Mr. Grosbard
mixed a small amount of sugar into the plastic material during the heat cycle,
the sugar grabbed the oxygen first, making the plastic stronger.
7.
Diabetes
In a healthy body, the pancreas
produces insulin and the insulin manages and helps the body to use sugar and
carbohydrates properly. The adult disease diabetes is called insulin
independent diabetes mellitus.
In this form of diabetes
mellitus, which usually affects people over 40, the insulin is inadequate for
your body’s needs. People who have this form of the disorder usually eat too
much and are overweight. Their over-eating causes an excess of glucose to their
blood, and the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin to cope with it. Heredity
is also an important factor. In nearly a third of all cases, there is family
history of the predicament. Age is also a factor, because the efficiency of your
pancreas decreases with age.
Dr. Keijiro Kuwabara of
Japan has been clinically treating diabetes quite successfully by the use of
alkaline water. He reports that a 49-year-old company employee was diagnosed by
the company physician as having a case of insulin-independent diabetes mellitus.
After only one month’s use of alkaline water, the sugar count came down to
virtually an undetectable level, from 300mg/dl one month previously.
The pancreas produces very high
pH body fluids, pancreatic juice, with its pH value of about 8.8. A shortage of
calcium ions in the body impairs the production and the release of the insulin
hormone. This in due course leads to an acidic blood condition. Congested blood
vessels caused by excess protein buildup also impairs pancreatic function.
Alkaline water, by supplying calcium in an ionized form and by helping prevent
excess protein buildup, can prevent and help reverse this condition.
As we age or putting it another
way “as we accumulate acidic waste products”, the efficiency of our pancreas
decreases. Apparently, we accumulate acidic waste products around the pancreas,
men more so than women do. Men initially begin to build up fatty acids around
the waist.
Heredity here may mean that
somehow in that particular family, there is a tendency to accumulate waste
products at or near the pancreas first. Until we reach the age of around 40, the
amount of acid accumulation is insufficient to slow down the functions of the
pancreas. If we prevent wastes from accumulating by means of alkaline water, we
may not get diabetes even if we reach say 70 or 80 years old.
Heredity here may not have to be
related to chronological age.
The alkaline water treatment will
not apply to diabetes of different causes such as a damaged pancreas, etc.
