Measuring Body pH

pH is a measurement of the relative concentration of positive and negative ions. When they are present in equal quantities we have reached a state of equilibrium within the body and our pH will be 7.0. There are two ways to measure body pH, which should not be confused with blood pH. The blood always maintains pH between 7.25 – 7.45. If it falls out of that range the body will quickly go into shock and death will follow soon after. Anything that does get into the bloodstream outside of that pH is immediately pushed out into the body’s tissue. Continue reading

Raw Foods, Great Health and Fanaticism

Some of us have decided to put the right foods in our body so we can obtain true health, not the kind of health that everyone else talks about where you mention that you are not sick then knock on wood as though you have simply been lucky up to this point. These are the people who inevitably end up in the hands of doctors. Those of us who consistently want to consume healthy foods are often labeled as “fanatics” obsessed about “eating correctly”. There is even a term that has been invented for someone like myself who wants to stay healthy by consuming only what actually belongs in the body, Orthorexia Nervosa, which literally means “fixation on righteous eating”.[i] Those who consistently eat right and put in their body only what naturally belongs there are labeled “health food junkies”.

Randy Couture Endorses the Bob McCauley’s Health Protocol

A few months after he’d been using the Water Ionizer, Chlorella and Spirulina, Randy sent me a video endorsing the Watershed Wellness Health Protocol . I didn’t even ask him to do a video for us and he came through anyway. It’s the kind of down to earth guy Randy is. It was a proud moment and one of personal triumph for me because I was able to connect with a world-class athlete and introduce him to my health protocol, one that exclusively promotes natural health. I knew that if Randy liked it, so would his many followers and protégés. Continue reading

Why Meat Kills

I was reading the book in my studies to become a Certified Nutritional Consultant, and there it was in black and white, exactly what I had always suspected and that is that cooked, pre-formed protein structures become chemically scrambled and many of the peptide bonds that link the amino acids together are completely destroyed.

Mercola Puts On His His “Water Dunce” Hat Again

Dr. Who? Exactly what is Dr. Margaret McCartney is an authority on? I must confess that this is the first time in my life I have ever heard of anyone from Scotland offering health advice. From what I have seen thus far, I will certainly not be looking for more from Scotland because I can think of no worse health than to tell people not to drink at least 8 glasses of water each day.
