Hi Melly: First and foremost, the soft tissues of the body cannot be acidic. The alkaline minerals needed to balance biochemistry, in acidic tissue environments, are used up nuetralizing acidic waste. This greatly impacts the body's ability to adsorb nutrients at a cellular level.
Since I spent so much money for testing, I obstained from mineral supplementation. I was testing the biochemical effects of excessive sulphur supplementation (MSM) and studying the effect of ozone therapy on my biochemistry. There are many factors that can influence the pH of soft tissues in the body. I list a few below: 1. Digestive failure - undigested foods, lack of HCL production in the stomach, lack of digestive enzymes, poor diet - Using a good quality edible clay and high quality natural probiotics to repair digestion greatly assists. 2. Free radical damage - Low cellular levels of antioxidants... Particularly, lack of production of glutathione at a cellular level, and fatty acid imbalance. Poor diet can be a big contributory factor. Supplementation with superfoods and the "master" antioxidants can greatly help, as well as making sure you get a balanced ratio of Omega 6 and Omega 3's in-body (a ratio of 4:1). 3. Systemic infections, including but not limited to Lyme Disease and Candida overgrowth (or any yeast/fungal infection). Many pathogenic organisms thrive in acidic environments, and in turn, produce even more acidic waste. 4. Toxicity - Severe toxicity can impair mitochondrial function, severly inhibiting the ATP production cycle. Mitochondrial failure can result in metabolic failure, where the muscles in the body have severe disfunction in energy conversion. The result can be a switch from aerobic to anaerobic metabolism, which results in the production of more lactic acid waste. Here's a basic introduction to soft tissue pH balancing: http://www.greenclays.com/earthcures/ph-connection-symphony-biochemistry-understanding-soft-tissue-ph-levels/ ..however, it is really one article in a series of articles, some of which haven't been written yet! The general basic idea is to first flush all of the acids out of the body that are in the circulatory system and lymphatic system. High quality water, and alkalizing whole foods, while starting to tackle the fundamental cause of imbalance (such as working on digestive system repair). Once this is done, the next step is to flush acidic waste from generally stored in-body and in-tissue (but generally speaking, extracellular). One can simply eat a great diet with plenty of great water, and let the body slowly cleanse, or one can use a substance such as MSM, which starts to flush acidic waste. The last step is intracellular work. One of the best ways is to use cell salt therapy, or any high quality sea mineral treatment. Again, not doing things in the proper order will result in only partial success, and often times, a whole world of herxing. Cell salt or sea mineral therapy is only cellularly effective when the soft tissue pH is very close to neutral, otherwise the alkaline minerals are spent nuetralizing the acidity. Other great ideas include things like systemic enzyme therapy.

This makes me happy as i stay away from lemon juice out of fear of losing my minerals, Citrus and pineapple juice also lowers blood pressure, How do you keep your minerals balanced? Melly
