DESCRIPTION

Acidosis is a condition in which the body chemistry becomes imbalanced and overly acidic.

There are two classifications of acidosis, respiratory and metabolic.

Respiratory acidosis is caused by an interruption of the acid control of the body, resulting in an overabundance of acidic fluids or the depletion of alkali (base). Simply, it occurs if the lungs are unable to remove carbon dioxide. Respiratory acidosis can be a result of asthma, bronchitis, or obstruction of the airway. It can be either mild or severe.

Metabolic acidosis occurs when chemical changes in the body disturb the body's acid-base balance, creating an excessive amount of acid in the body's fluids. Diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, the use of unusually large amounts of aspirin, and metabolic diseases are some of the conditions that can deplete the body's alkaline base.

CAUSES

Acidity and alkalinity are measured according to the pH (potential of hydrogen) scale. Water, with a pH of 7.0 is considered neutral - neither acidic or alkaline. Anything with a pH below 7.0 is acid, while anything with a pH above 7.0 is alkaline. The ideal pH range for the human body is between 6.0 and 6.8 (the human body is naturally mildly acidic). Values below pH 6.3 are considered on the acidic side; values above pH 6.8 are on the alkaline side.

Acidosis occurs when the body loses its alkaline reserve. Some causes of acidosis include kidney, liver, and adrenal disorders; improper diet; malnutrition; obesity; ketosis; anger; stress; fear; anorexia; toxemia; fever; and the consumption of excessive amounts of niacin, vitamin C, or aspirin. Diabetics often suffer from acidosis. Stomach ulcers are often associated with this condition.



TREATMENT

ACID AND ALKALINE SELF-TEST

This test will determine whether your body fluids are either too acidic or too alkaline. An imbalance can cause illnesses such as acidosis or alkalosis.

Purchase pH (litmus) paper, available at any drugstore, and apply saliva and/or urine to the paper. The paper will change color to indicate if your system is overly acidic or alkaline. Red litmus paper turns blue in an alkaline medium and blue litmus paper turns red in an acidic medium. Always perform the test either before eating or at least 1 hour after eating.

Depending upon the results of your test, you should alter your diet to help bring your body back into the normal range. If your test indicates that your body is too acidic, eat more alkaline-forming foods and omit acid-forming foods from your diet until another pH test shows that you have returned to normal. On the other hand, if your body is too alkaline, eat more acid-forming foods and omit alkaline-forming foods. Use the list below as a guide to which foods are acid-forming and which are alkaline-forming. Low level acid-forming and low-level alkaline-forming foods are almost neutral.

---

ACID & ALKALINE-FORMING FOODS

A basic rule of thumb to follow to achieve and maintain pH balance is to eat 80 percent alkaline-forming foods and drinks and 20 percent acid-forming foods and drinks each day. If a pH test indicates that your body is too acidic, you should eat more alkaline-forming foods and omit acid-forming foods from your diet until another pH test shows you have returned to normal. Conversely, if your body is too alkaline, eat more acid-forming foods and omit alkaline-forming foods. Use the list below as a guide to which foods are acid-forming and which are alkaline-forming. Low-level acid-forming and low-level alkaline-forming foods are almost neutral.

Litmus paper may also be called nitrazine paper. It can be purchased at most local pharmacies. If your local pharmacy does not carry it or urine test strips for pH, check with a medical supply company usually listed under Medical Equipment, Supplies and Repair in the yellow pages or a hospital pharmacy. Here are some pH Test products available through Amazon.com:

HERBAL, NUTRITIONAL & HOLISTIC RECOMMENDATIONS

HERBS

Use elder bark, hops, and willow for acidosis.

ELDER (Elderberry): Some clinicians think that Elderberries are more effective at shortening colds and flu than Echinacea. Preliminary studies with a certain strain of epidemic flu have shown that Elderberry extract reduced recovery time by half. It also helps bring up phlegm associated with asthma, bronchitis, colds, flu and smoking. A hot infusion works well for treating respiratory infections, tonsillitis, and laryngitis. At the onset of a cold, fever, measles, rash or chickenpox, an infusion will stimulate circulation and cause sweating, cleansing the system of toxins. Externally, Elderberry flowers can soothe cuts and wounds, chilblains, skin eruptions, sunburn, and irritable skin. In traditional European medicine, the juice of this plant is used for treating sciatica and neuralgia. It is now being studied for its effectiveness against other viral infections, including HIV and herpes. Elderberry comes in various forms and is an ingredient in numerous products. For use, steep 3 to 5 g of dried Elder flowers in 1 cup of boiling water for ten minutes. Drink 1 cup 3 times daily. Elder works best when combined with yarrow or peppermint for treating colds, catarrh, sinusitis, hay fever and bronchial congestion, To take other formulations, read product label directions for use. ELDERBERRY PRODUCTS Extensive research show that elder stop the production of hormone-like cytokines that direct a class of white blood cells known as neutrophils to cause inflammation, especially in influenza and arthritis. On the other hand, elder increases the production non-inflammatory infection-fighting cytokines as much as 10 fold. Elder berries are known to be effective against eight strains of influenza. This suggests that elder be superior to vaccines in preventing flu, because flu vaccines are only effective against known strains of flu, whereas the virus is continually mutating to new strains. Vaccines have another draw back: over half of people who get them report side effects. Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, of Hadassah-Hebrew University in Israel found that elderberry disarms the enzyme viruses use to penetrate healthy cells in the lining of the nose and throat. Taken before infection, it prevents infection. Taken after infection, it prevents spread of the virus through the respiratory tract. In a clinical trial, 20 percent of study subjects reported significant improvement within 24 hours, 70 percent by 48 hours, and 90 percent claimed complete cure in three days. In contrast, subjects receiving the placebo required 6 days to recover. Elderberry is antiviral, antibiotic and antibacterial and has been used for centuries for soothing upper respiratory infections. It is an excellent remedy for asthma, bronchial infections and sinusitis. Since Elderberry is a diuretic, the herb increases urine flow and promotes all fluid secretions, helping to cleanse the system. By promoting heavy sweating, Elderberry also opens the pores, and in that manner it aids the further elimination of toxic material and impurities from the body through the skin. Elderberry is powerful laxative and has been used as a natural intestinal cleanser for centuries. It has been said to work like lightning to evacuate the bowels and relieve constipation. Elderberry enhances the immune system function by focusing on the nutritional needs of the immune system. This natural anti-inflammatory stimulates the immune system to combat the free radicals that attack healthy cells. Elderberry's flavonoids include anthocyanins that are powerful antioxidants, which protect cells against damage from invasive infection. As a revitalizing stimulant and rejuvenating tonic, Elderberry promotes circulation, kidney function and good lymphatic system health. Topically, Elderberry has long been used for burns, bruises, wound healing, eczema, psoriasis, rash and other skin problems. Elderberry water is said to be good for the eyes and the complexion and generally improve skin health. It has also been used to remove freckles, as well as whiten and soften the skin. Other traditional uses for Elderberry have included the treatment of nerve pain, neuralgia, migraine headaches and nervous conditions.

HOPS: The German Commission E recommends the use of Hops for "discomfort due to restlessness or anxiety and sleep disturbances." They have also been used to improve appetite and digestion. Hops has also been used in cases of heart disease, fits, neuralgia and nervous disorders, and as a tonic for indigestion, jaundice, and stomach and liver conditions. It eases an irritable bladder and can help relieve delirium tremens. A warm pillow of Hops soothes toothaches and earaches. Hops usually come in tincture and infusion forms. The recommended dosage of Hops is 0.5 grams taken 1 to 3 times daily for most conditions. For treating specific conditions it is best to consult with a qualified herbalist or your health care provider. HOPS PRODUCTS The use of hops is recommended for discomfort due to restlessness or anxiety and sleep disturbances. Hops has been used to improve appetite and digestion and has a mild sedative effect. Hops are high in the bitter principles humulone and lupulone. These are thought to be responsible for the appetite-stimulating properties of hops. Hops also contain about 1–3 percent volatile oils. Hops have been shown to have mild sedative properties. Many herbal preparations for insomnia combine hops with other sedative herbs, such as valerian, passion flower and scullcap. The official preparations are an infusion and a tincture. The infusion is employed as a vehicle, especially for bitters and tonics: the tincture is stomachic and is used to improve the appetite and digestion. Both preparations have been considered to be sedative, were formerly much given in nervousness and hysteria and at bedtime to induce sleep; in cases of nervousness, delirium and inflammation being considered to produce a most soothing effect, frequently procuring for the patient sleep after long periods of sleeplessness in overwrought conditions of the brain. The bitter principle in the Hop proves one of the most efficacious vegetable bitters obtainable. An infusion of 1/2 ounce Hops to 1 pint of water will be found the proper quantity for ordinary use. It has proved of great service also in heart disease, fits, neuralgia and nervous disorders, besides being a useful tonic in indigestion, jaundice, and stomach and liver affections generally. It gives prompt ease to an irritable bladder, and is said to be an excellent drink in cases of delirium tremens. Sherry in which some Hops have been steeped makes a capital stomachic cordial. A pillow of warm Hops will often relieve toothache and earache, allay nervous irritation and bring on delayed sleep.

WILLOW: Today, with the rise in popularity of natural medicine, White Willow is being used by more people as an alternative to aspirin, and it is used to treat many of the same conditions; bursitis, tendonitis, headaches, osteoarthritis, dysmenorrhea, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is also used for back pain, toothache, and menstrual cramps. White Willow also works well in soothing a sore throat and reducing the fever and headache associated with upper respiratory tract infections and influenza, and it is easier on the stomach than aspirin. White Willow comes in various forms and is an ingredient in many products. To make a tea, take 1 to 2 g of White Willow bark per one cup of water. Drink 1 cup three times a day. Tinctures and dry extracts are also available and should be taken in a dose that provides 120 to 240 mg of salicin a day. For other formulations read and follow product label directions. WHITE WILLOW BARK White Willow Bark was the basis of the synthesis of aspirin. It contains salicin and related compounds. It has been used for more than 2,000 years to relieve aches and pains of all sorts. White Willow Bark (Salix Alba) has the ability to alleviate pain, reduce fevers, deal effectively with arthritis, rheumatism, diarrhea, pain, inflammation, heart disease, and delays cataract formation. The analgesic action of willow bark depends on symbiotic or "friendly" intestinal bacteria to digest is components into painkilling forms. Aspirin does not require digestion by intestinal bacteria, and works more quickly. Willow bark, on the other hand, continues to provide pain relief longer than aspirin. Unlike aspirin, the salicylates in willow bark do not increase the risk of bleeding. They do not usually irritate the lining of the stomach. For these reasons, willow bark may be useful for people who have chronic joint pain but cannot take NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors. Do not use willow bark if you are allergic to aspirin, and do not give willow bark to a child under sixteen years of age who has symptoms of any kind of viral infection, especially flu or chickenpox.

Externally, apply ginger compresses to the kidney area. Take fresh ginger, grate it and steep in hot water like tea. Soak clean cotton cloths in the liquid and apply to lower back over kidney area. Fresh ginger is usually available from your local supermarket.

GINGER: Scientific studies have shown Ginger to be an effective treatment for nausea and motion sickness. It is also used as a treatment for atherosclerosis, migraine headaches, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol, burns, ulcers, depression, impotence, and liver toxicity. Chinese herbalists prescribe Ginger tea at the onset of a cold to ward off infection. Ginger has also been used as a treatment for Raynaud's disease, sciatica, seborrhea, sore throat, swelling, tendinitis, toothache, ulcers, viral infections. Ginger stimulates the circulation and helps blood flow to the surface, making it an important remedy for chilblains and poor circulation to the hands and feet. By improving the circulation, Ginger helps reduce high blood pressure. Ginger also increases sweating and helps reduce fever. A standard dose for most purposes is 1 to 4 g of powdered Ginger taken daily in 2 to 4 divided doses. To prevent motion sickness, begin treatment 1 or 2 days before the trip, and continue taking it throughout the travel period. Make Ginger tea from the boiled Ginger root as a remedy for nausea associated with pregnancy. Chilled, carbonated, and sweetened Ginger tea is the original form of gingerale, the famous anti-nausea beverage. Powdered Ginger can be used in the tea instead of the root. GINGER TEA RECIPE 4 cups of water 2 inch piece of fresh ginger root optional: honey and lemon. Peel the ginger root and slice it into thin slices. Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Once it is boiling, add the ginger. Cover it and reduce to a simmer for 15-20 minutes. Strain the tea. Add honey and lemon to taste.

NUTRITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Eat a diet of 50 percent raw foods. Raw foods not only maintain the correct acid/alkaline balance within the body, but they are also richer in nutrients that are easily assimilated into the body. Recommended foods include apples, avocados, bananas, grapefruit, grapes, lemons, pears, pineapples, strawberries, and all vegetables. Fresh fruits, especially citrus fruits, and vegetables reduce acidosis. Start with small amounts of citrus fruits and gradually add larger amounts.

Chew your food slowly, and do not over indulge. Make sure food is mixed well with saliva to form a liquid consistency before swallowing. Do not drink fluids during meals.

Prepare cooked foods with care. Maintain clean working surfaces and wash vegetables and fruit. Keep meat and vegetables separate - you can contaminate vegetables with bacteria from raw meat. Do not overcook vegetables, as this makes them lose not only their flavor, but also their nutritional value. Eat processed foods in moderation only. They are low in nutrients and overexert the digestive system. Both cooked and processed foods tend to make the body more acid. Also avoid eating late at night, as this makes the body work more on digestion and less on restoration.

Drink potato broth every day.

MoonDragon's Health Therapy: Therapeutic Liquids

Avoid animal protein (especially beef and pork), as they lead to acidity.

Avoid beans, cereals, crackers, eggs, flour products, grains, oily foods, macaroni, and sugar. Plums, prunes, and cranberries do not oxidize and therefore remain acid to the body. Avoid these until the situation improves.

Since excess vitamin C may lead to acidosis, reduce your intake of vitamin C for a few weeks. When taking vitamin C, use a non-acid forming (buffered) variety.

Heartburn and indigestion can be the result of food digesting poorly. If you suffer from heartburn, taking small swallows of a teaspoon or two of natural cider vinegar in a glass of water may be of some help. It may cause a burning sensation when you swallow it, but then, in approximately twenty minutes, you should feel relief. If the cider vinegar method works, this may indicate that you lack sufficient acid in your stomach and the cider vinegar compensated for this insufficiency. In this case, consider taking digestive enzyme supplements, containing hydrochloric acid (HCl). Stomach acid is important for breaking down food, and also prevents germs from irritating the intestines.

Practice deep breathing.

Check your urine pH daily using pH paper. Avoid acid-forming foods until your pH is corrected.

MOLYBDENUM PRODUCTS Ionic Molybdenum is a pure liquid Molybdenum supplement. Molybdenum is instrumental in regulating pH balance in the body. For each pH point increase (e.g., 6.1-6.2), the oxygen level is increased ten times, thus increasing the metabolism and enhancing the body's ability to burn fat. Also promotes general well being, aids in carbohydrate metabolism, has proven itself useful in MSG (or other chemical) sensitivity, increases libido, and may enhance the effect of fluorine in tooth decay prevention (dental enamel is rich in molybdenum). It also induces sleep. Amazon: Liquid Ionic Molybdenum, Mineralife, 8 fl. oz. (120 Day Supply) Mineralife professional grade liquid Ionic Molybdenum concentrate is a dietary supplement containing elemental Molybdenum. Mineralife "energy enhanced" liquid ionic minerals are meticulously prepared from a pure elemental source developed to efficiently deliver the smallest units of mineral that exist - Ions. They are Angstrom sized, water soluble and completely absorbable with far greater absorption than pills or capsules, which must first dissolve in the stomach and digestive system. Although very small amounts are needed, molybdenum is a vital part of three important enzyme systems and is necessary for the proper function of certain enzyme-dependent processes, including the metabolism of iron. These enzymes are responsible for the breakdown of xanthine, hypoxanthine and sulfite, and the detoxification of many harmful compounds. Molybdenum works with the enzyme systems to help eliminate toxic nitrogen waste by turning it into uric acid. Molybdenum may help to strengthen immune system function. Molybdenum promotes general well being, aids in carbohydrate metabolism, and has proven itself useful in MSG (or other chemical) sensitivity, increases libido, and may enhance tooth decay prevention (dental enamel is rich in molybdenum). Molybdenum dietary supplement may also help to induce restful sleep. Amazon: Molybdenum Ionic Mineral Supplement, WaterOz, 16 fl. oz. WaterOz Ionic Molybdenum is a pure liquid Molybdenum supplement.

Amazon: Molybdenum Liquid Ionic Minerals, Good State, 75 mcg, 8 fl.; oz. (120 Days) Ionic Molybdenum is a pharmaceutical grade liquid ionic mineral dietary supplement.

Benefits* - Molybdenum is a little-known, though essential, trace mineral. - It is instrumental in regulating pH balance in the body. For each pH point increase (e.g., 6.1-6.2), the oxygen level is increased 10x, thus increasing the metabolism and enhancing the body's ability to burn fat. - Although very small amounts are needed, molybdenum is a vital part of three important enzyme systems and is necessary for the proper function of certain enzyme-dependent processes, including the metabolism of iron. These enzymes are responsible for the breakdown of xanthine, hypoxanthine and sulfite, and the detoxification of many harmful compounds. - Molybdenum works with the enzyme systems to help eliminate toxic nitrogen waste by turning it into uric acid. - Molybdenum may help t strengthen immune system function. - Molybdenum promotes general well being, aids in carbohydrate metabolism, and has proven itself useful in MSG (or other chemical) sensitivity, increases libido, and may enhance tooth decay prevention (dental enamel is rich in molybdenum). - Ionic Molybdenum dietary supplement may also help to induce restful sleep. - Because of molybdenum's ability to raise the body's pH, it may provide beneficial support in the treatment of cancer, viruses, and parasites. - Molybdenum is claimed to help arthritis. TakeHerb: Molybdenum Liquid, Nutricology, 1 fl. oz. Liquid Molybdenum is a diluted solution of ammonium molybdate. Molybdenum is involved in several enzyme functions including uric acid formation, the detoxification of sulfites, alcohol and some chemicals, as well as the metabolism of sulfur. Sulfite sensitivity may indicate a potential need for molybdenum supplementation. We believe that this is probably the best absorbed form of molybdenum available. As a dietary supplement, 1 to 3 drops once or twice daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Note: This formula has been made with potassium sorbate and benzyl alcohol to prevent yeast, mold, and bacteria growth. Because they work in a low pH environment, citric acid and lactic acid are added. The amounts of preservatives are low, between 0.1 and 0.2 percent. The active ingredient ammonium molybdate remains the same, with the concentration of 25 mcg of elemental molybdenum per serving.

MSM PRODUCTS Methyl Sulfonyl Methane. MSM is also called 'organic sulfur,' naturally occurring sulfur. You find it in rain - and in all plants and animals. It is widely used around the world for relief of pain from arthritis, back pain or muscle pain. There is no known toxic level of usage. In its purified chemical form, it is an odorless, essentially tasteless, white, water soluble crystalline solid. It is one of the least toxic substances in biology, similar in toxicity to water. MSM is a relative to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a unique therapeutic agent used worldwide in the treatment of many painful and inflammatory conditions. MSM has many of DMSO's properties, but without the oyster-like odor and other side effects. Naturally-occurring sulfur, such as that found in MSM, is not similar to inorganic sulfides, sulfites and sulfates to which many people are allergic. Some of MSM's essential functions in the body include maintaining the structure of the proteins in the body, helping the formation of keratin which is essential for hair and nail growth, aiding in the production of immunoglobulin which maintains the immune system, and catalyzing the chemical reactions which change food into energy. Many years of clinical use at Oregon Health Sciences University has demonstrated that MSM provides the following pain relief and anti-inflammatory benefits without serious side effects: Inhibition of pain impulses along nerve fibers (analgesia); Lessening of inflammation; Increase in blood supply; Reduction of muscle spasm; Softening of scar tissue. MSM is often so effective for pain relief that doctors are able to lower the dosage of medication they prescribe for patients. Sometimes, they are even able to discontinue the medication altogether. The end result is relief along with fewer or no side effects that are frequently caused by prescriptive medications. Kalyx: MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane), Frontier Brand, 1 lb.

PHION PH BALANCE PRODUCTS Amazon: pHion Balance Acid Drainage, Capsules, 60 Count There are two types of acids, strong acids and weak acids. Weak acids like citric acid, ascorbic acid and acetic acid are found in fruits and veggies. These types of organic acids are relatively unproblematic and are rather easy to eliminate. Strong acids like uric acid, sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid and nitric acid primarily come from animal protein. These acids are like the battery acid in your car. Theyre very corrosive to your insides and are also very hard to eliminate. In fact, there are only two ways to rid your body of strong acids: 1) either through the kidneys, in the form of urine; or 2) through the skin, in the form of sweat.

Amazon: Phion Diagnostic pH Test Strips, 90 Count Phion Diagnostic pH Test Strips are the best strips available for discovering the pH of your body. Testing your pH is important because if your are overly acidic, you may feel low energy... find it difficult to lose weight... experience poor digestion... suffer from aches and pains... and even fall victim to more serious disorders. Too much acid can wreak havoc on your health! If you care enough about your body to test your pH, do it the right way. Litmus paper wont give you a truly accurate pH reading because it bleeds when it gets wet, which makes it quite a challenge to determine the color. pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips differ in that the reagent is affixed to a plastic strip, so there is no paper, no bleeding, and no mess. Plus, pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips measure a wider range (4.5 - 9.0) and they are the only test strips on the market that can pass through a urine stream without having the reagent bleed, making them exceptionally easy to read. Simply put, pHion Diagnostic pH Test Strips measure a wider pH range more accurately! They have a dual pad indicator that has two squares using two different pH reagents. The top reagent is more sensitive to to higher pH ranges (7.0 – 9.00) and the bottom reagent is more sensitive to lower pH ranges (4.5 – 6.75). This combination gives you an ideal reading of your pH level.
