What is pH?
The Fish Bowl Theory
85% of Americans are estimated to be in a dehydrated state!
97% of Americans are acidic. And 97% of health conditions have one thing in common: the person has an acidic body (or acidosis).
Some examples of conditions related to acidosis are: cancer, osteoporosis, fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue, yeast and fungal issues, M.S., weight concerns, gallbladder and kidney stones, diabetes, and emotional challenges, etc.
The Fish Bowl Theory
(From leading pH experts)
*The glass of the fish bowl represents our skin that holds our body parts inside and keeps the fluids inside.
*The water in the fish bowl represents the water inside our bodies.
*The fish in the bowl represent our cells - All 70 trillion of them.
** Acidosis = dirty fish bowl water **
The body as a whole is about 76% water
The blood is about 94% water
The brain is about 98% water
The internal cell structure is about
98% water
What is pH?
pH is the measurement of how acidic or alkaline your body is. Or pH = Potential for Health. Scientifically speaking, pH means "Potential of Hydrogen". Hydrogen ions are denoted by H+ and the more hydrogen ions you have in your body or fish bowl, the more acidic you are.
pH is the measurement of voltage. Potential of hydrogen tells us if electrons are available.
pH can be tested by using pH test strips. The strips have an associated numeric or color scale that gives you your current pH reading.
The pH Scale - on the left side of the scale is 0 (highly acidic) - with 7 in the middle - and 14 (highly alkaline) on the right side. Either 0 or 14 mean death.
0--------------------------------------7-----------------------------------14
Highly Acidic Neutral Highly Alkaline
Refer to the Dr. Tennant DVD for an expanded chart.
Note: There is a lot of variation from the experts as to optimal pH range. Keep in mind that each of our body's is different. A general rule would be to maintain a pH between 6.5 and 7.2. Those with chronic health issues would want to strive for the higher end of the range.
Factors That Alter Your pH
Acidifying Factors
Let's investigate...
Factors that Alter Your pH
Air and Substances We Breathe (Lungs)
Foods We Eat (Mouth)
Topically Applied Substances (Skin)
Attitude/Emotions (Mental Health)
These are the four major factors that impact your pH in a positive (alkaline) or negative (acidic) way. Without taking daily responsibility for the quality of your "fish bowl water", acidosis will eventually prevail. Gone unchecked, the standard American lifestyle, (poor dietary habits, polluted air, lack of exercise, hours spent watching TV and computer, etc.) further contributes to this problem. This state of imbalance opens the door for sickness and disease.
Acidifying Influences to Your Body
Simply stated, chronic over-acidity will interrupt all cellular activities and functions to interfere with life itself!
Air and Substances We Breathe. Household cleaners, industrial toxins (smog), out-gassing from carpets and paint, perfumes, hairsprays, aerosols, car exhaust, cigarette smoke (1st and 2nd hand smoke are equally acidifying), and more.
Key Example: You mop your floors with toxic substances and then the water evaporates leaving a concentrated film for you to walk on or your kids or pets to play on. This residue is absorbed through feet and/or skin.
Foods We Eat. Packaged and overly processed foods, canola oil, hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated fats and/or oils, excessive protein consumption (high protein/"low carb" diets), soda pop (even natural sodas), chronic over-the-counter and prescription drug use, refined sugar and much more. These are all electron stealers which means they leave you electron deficient, i.e. acidic. In addition, foods containing aspartame, msg, or mercury are all neuro-toxins. AVOID ACIDIFYING FOODS! Eating acidifying foods creates an acidic environment which is a breeding ground for micro-toxins. These living organisms steal your nutrients and create resulting acidic toxins overloading your body's ability to neutralize them. Without a balanced pH your minerals will become ineffective and your digestive system cannot absorb the nutrients as well.
Key Example: all soda pop has a pH of 2.5 to 3.2. For every 8 oz. of soda pop you drink, you would need to drink one gallon of alkalizing water (8-9 pH) to counteract the acidity of soda pop!!
Topically Applied Substances. Personal care items including shampoo, conditioners, hairspray, deodorant, toothpaste, lotion,
Alkalizing Influences
Balancing your pH is a major step towards well-being and greater health.
Air and Substances We Breathe. Pure air via air purification systems; environmentally friendly, chemical free products including paint, carpet, and household cleaners, yard care and many more.
Foods We Eat. Eat fresh, raw and/or organic foods that are pesticide, chemical and GMO free and that are as close to nature as possible; drink pure clean water; and take a holistic wellness approach to your medicine cabinet through the use of organic herbs, spices, essential oils and homeopathic remedies.
Topically Applied Substances. Search for items that are organic, non-synthetic, plant based, and as free of chemicals as possible. Refer to the Dr. Judi Gerstung quote in the last section.
Attitude and Emotions. Things like gratitude, kindness, love, meditation, prayer, yoga, tai chi, walking, fresh air, sufficient sleep, sunshine, healthy relationships and passion will go towards creating a balanced pH. Also, relax and breathe deeply. What are the things that make you feel good? Did you used to play the guitar? Go dancing? Go for a drive in the country? Schedule a time in your life to do fun things!
The State of Your Health
1. Most people think that if they don't have any pain or other symptoms - they must be healthy!
2. Most people think that if they if they can work 40 hours a week - they must be healthy!
3. Most people think that if they if they can go out on a weekend and "rev it up" with their "recreation" - they must be healthy!
The reality is that disease develops over time, likely years without your awareness and before you feel symptoms and are diagnosed. Balancing your Ph is a Strong Preventative Measure!
YOU CAN BE IN ACIDOSIS AND NOT EVEN KNOW IT!
How to Test Your pH
Two fluids of the body are easily checked on a daily basis for pH: First is your Urine pH. It represents the fluids in and around your cells - your dirty or clean 'fish bowl' water. Urine pH also relates to your mineral metabolism. Second is your Saliva pH - According to the experts, this indicates the emotional or environmental stresses affecting the body. Personal pH testing strips are readily available at natural health food stores and online.
Urine - Test pH Upon Waking: Before you eat, drink or exercise, urinate into a cup. Dip a piece of pH test paper in cup. Compare it to the color chart located on the package, to give you your pH. Note: If your pH test paper doesn't change colors at all, you may be below 5.5 on the scale.
Saliva - Test pH Upon Waking: Before you eat, drink or exercise, spit into a spoon. Dip a piece of pH test paper into saliva. It should be 6.8. Do not place strip on tongue!
Blood pH: This is not a measurement normally used for self-monitoring your pH.
Detoxification
About Exercise and pH
Detoxification is simply getting rid of, (or changing) the "dirty fish bowl water" - the water surrounding your cells. As you raise your pH towards a healthy range, your body will release stored toxins that have accumulated from the acidifying influences (previously discussed) to your body. At this stage you may receive acidic body fluid readings due to the fact that you have toxins now leaving your body. In essence you have just "stirred up your fish bowl". Be consistent with your pH monitoring and look for the average over time to determine your status and you will see your alkalinity start to stabilize.
One of the major benefits of balancing your pH is that it helps promote detoxification.
There are both emotional AND physical detoxification cycles. Detoxification is an on-going process throughout your life and you become less toxic as your body moves toward and stabilizes around a pH of 7.
Hydration is critical for detoxifying your body on a daily basis. You must drink your required amount of pure water EVERY DAY to gently flush your "fish bowl water" and to maintain healthy body systems.
FORMULA FOR HOW MUCH WATER TO DRINK:
Drink half your body weight in ounces of pure water each day
Example: If you weigh 120 pounds, drink 60 oz. water, or just under 1.2 gallon (64 ounces).
An Important Note about pH and Exercise
If your urine pH is 5.5 or below, experts specifically recommend that you do NOT engage in strenuous exercise. There is a high risk of cardiac problems, since the heart is the number one place for an acidic pH to work its destruction on the body. In this state, you can do moderate walking, or yoga - something very gentle. As you raise your pH, you can change your exercise program.
Also, while the best time to exercise is in the afternoon, exercise is so important that any time you can fit it in, is better than not fitting it in at all.
Important Additional Information
The number one mineral that is not absorbed in an acidic body is Iodine! If you have a pH of 6.5 or lower, or 7.1 or higher, you will not absorb iodine. Also, when your pH is out of balance, most nutrients are NOT absorbed well into your system.
It is thought that balancing the pH leads to increased oxygenation of cells as well as increased cellular communication.
NOW WHAT
Nutrition
Think of alkalizing substances as healthy deposits due to their high voltage. Think of acidifying substances as withdrawals or energy stealers.
There is a superior product available that contains new state of the art technologies and ingredients (Including Marine Phytoplankton) that has been tested, researched and endorsed Dr. Gerstung, and Dr. Tennant and Dr. Rodier, M.D., plus hundreds of other physicians, researchers and practitioners.
And Marine Phytoplankton is specifically designed by Mother Nature to cover your body's basic nutritional needs naturally, as well as to cleanse, detoxify and balance your body's pH. Utilizing such an approach allows you to counter the acidic influences you are continually exposed to, thereby creating an opportunity for your body to accelerate its healing processes.
The food source that has the highest voltage of sea and land FrequenSea! Marine Phytoplankton has 400 times more energy than any other plant known. Consider this food source as a step in the right direction towards your optimal health.
Why Marine Phytoplankton is Making History
Scientists at NASA theorize that some 3 1/2 billion years ago, the world was changed forever.
The appearance of tiny organisms with the ability to convert sunlight, warmth, water and Minerals into protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and amino acids marked the beginning of life.
Phytoplankton, the single-cell plants are the basis of all other life forms on planet earth, they are the 'vegetation' of the ocean. Phytoplankton is responsible for making up to 90% of Earth's oxygen. They also contain 400 times more energy than any plant source on earth!
Phytoplankton are the food utilized by the world's largest and longest living animals and fish. Blue Whales, humpbacks, baleen whales and more all eat plankton and live between 80-150 years while maintaining great strength and endurance and are sexually active until they die.
Marine Phytoplankton comprises hundreds of species of photosynthetic unicellular organisms belonging to the Kingdom Protista. Temperate coastal waters, such as those along British Columbia, Canada are highly productive and support a diverse array of micro algal species from numerous Classes, including the primary producers called diatoms. (Class Bacillariophyceae). Every spring, when conditions of light, nutrients, and mixing are optimal for growth, diatoms grow rapidly in the euphotic zone. This event is known as the "spring bloom."
Until now, mankind could only dream of obtaining significant quantities of microscopic plants. Through years of research, they can now be grown in quantity and harvested for human consumption year round. Over 200 varieties have been made available to us from a sea farm, a state of the art facility, unique in the world.
A sea farmer in Northern British Columbia created a 30 million dollar facility on the edge of the Northern Pacific Ocean to grow phytoplankton year round to feed his fish. He has a patent pending process that recreates the conditions of the annual "Spring Bloom" of phytoplankton 365 days a year.
In addition, after each and every harvest, over 20% more Marine Phytoplankton is returned to the ocean than what was brought in. This is helping the area ecosystem in many ways. The Sea Otter and Bald Eagle population has increased dramatically.
The Discovery of the Century
Phytoplankton are single cell plants, and are the basis of all other life forms on planet Earth, they are the 'vegetation' of the ocean. "Phytoplankton is the perfect nutrition for our cells" Says Dr. Jerry Tennant, M.D., from the Tennant Institute of Integrative Medicine. "There are very few products that provide all, or even most of the raw materials to make new cells and sustain the existing ones. The problem is that we need all of them at the same time for things to work."
"One of these rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and rebuilding a healthy life) is phytoplankton." According to Dr. Tennant, "What Tom and many others are experiencing is no cure, no magic bullet, but rather the body's natural healing process that is programmed into every cell."
Dr. Tennant adds "All we have to do is give the body the best fuel possible so it can get the job done" and "It is likely that phytoplankton will change the way we think about health." Dr. Jerry Tennant, MD
Phytoplankton has been named Mother Nature's most perfect and complete nutritional food. The elements and electrolytes in marine phytoplankton are almost tailor-made for the human body. It contains: the nine essential amino acids (the body can't make - they must be consumed), essential fatty acids (more Omega 3 than fish oil, Omega 6); Vitamins A (beta-carotene), B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cobalamin), C, and D (tocopherol), major and trace minerals. It's a high antioxidant and has phospholipids for cell membranes.
It's also alkaline (8 - 8.5 pH) and contains phytonutrients, natural plant-based chemicals that promote proper metabolic functions and much, much more. The elements in phytoplankton are essential for the human body.
The Future of Nutrition...
Jacque Cousteau said it best!
Over reliance on land-based food sources often leads to deficiencies in micro nutrients and trace elements. Our bodies need these elements to perform as nature intended. Left to its own devices, the human body has a marvelous system called homeostasis which keeps all systems in balance. Take away some critical component and the body experiences malfunctions that cause suboptimal performance. Too many malfunctions cause disease.
This may be why Jacque Cousteau stated "The future of nutrition is found in the ocean".
"Many people wonder about safety" Says Dr. Hugo Rodier, M.D. "While it is true that some algae are toxic, or soak up toxins from polluted ocean water, this is not a significant problem, since commercial algae for human consumption is grown in safe farms in British Columbia. This is a remarkable achievement, because people may now profit from these nutrient rich micro-organisms."
"Until now, people could not readily obtain such rich super foods. Through years of research, the Sea Farm can now growth these microorganisms in very large quantities. This state of the art facility allows the production of something very unique for you to maximize your health. The phytoplankton produced at Sea farms is not cyanobacteria, but true micro-algae, or plankton in its many forms and species. This, along with specialized Sea Farm processing makes their product totally unique in the world."
Dr. Rodier adds; "Good nutrition will enhance the structure and function of all organs in our body. Our brains, muscles, hearts, arteries, joints, bones, skin, hair, hormones, immune system, vision, digestion, kidneys, liver will carry out their jobs much better. Metabolically, our lipids, and sugars can be optimized, thus providing more overall energy, minimize weight problems, and improve sleep. These nutrients improve mental function, and memory. They reduce depression, harmful effects of stress, and mood swings."
Ingredients
A company called ForeverGreen makes an exclusive product called "FrequenSea". It is a pleasurable tasting bio-available liquid that contains not only Marine Phytoplankton but other Sea Vegetables, Frankincense, Rose, Ginger, Astaxanthin, Pure Fruit Concentrates and more.
Nature intended us to benefit from the whole plant. The plant kingdom holds many secrets to health that we are only beginning to discover.
ForeverGreen uses a natural, environmentally conscious process to extract essential ingredients for FrequenSea. Instead of common extraction methods involving heat or nutrient-harming chemical solvents, ForeverGreen uses Supercritical/CO2 extraction to capture every nutrient from the whole plant without destroying its nutrients.
When a certain amount of pressure is applied to CO2 (carbon dioxide), it turns into liquid. This liquid CO2 can be used as an inert, safe liquid solvent. CO2 is the gas we exhale from our lungs. It is also the gas that plants thrive on. This unique CO2 extraction process preserves the essential oils, resins, and powerful antioxidant rich phytonutrients of the whole plant.
Once the CO2 process is complete, how do we optimally absorb these amazing nutrients into our body? Before the oil components and the water-based components can blend together, an emulsifier is needed. Prior to ForeverGreen's exclusive AMP (Aqueous Molecular Partitioning) process, chemical-based emulsifiers were the only options.
The AMP process is a technological breakthrough, emulsifying the plant components and rendering them water-soluble making the nutrients instantly bioavailable in the body.
Nothing carries nutrients into our cells more effectively than water, as 70% of the human body is water and 94% of the brain is water. Today most supplements come in forms that are not easily absorbed therefore you often pay for expensive supplements that are never actually utilized by your body.
Highlighted AMPed Ingredients:
Rose - Roses have long been associated with soothing fragrances that calm the body, mind and spirit with relaxing waves of positive energy. Plant concentrates carry a high natural frequency and Rose Extract is the highest (around 320mHz). Additionally, roses contain high amounts of vitamin C that support the digestive system while nourishing the body. Studies now show that roses actually help the body absorb vitamin C found in other foods as well. Roses contain vitamin
