Bacteria

When you are acidic, you are creating a welcoming environment for viruses and bacteria to flourish! You may have noticed that you are more susceptible to more colds and flu, Acidity is one of the reasons WHY.

The widespread use of hydrogenated oils or trans-­‐fatty acids in our food has been shown to reduce cell membrane fluidity (the ability of the cell membrane to protect the cell) which makes the cell much more permeable to bacteria, viruses and cancer.

Bacterial imbalance
The most common components of food that can damage your intestinal lining are the proteins found in un-sprouted grains, sugar, GMO’s and conventional dairy.The problem with un-sprouted grains is that they contain large amounts of antinutrients or nutrient blockers called phytates and lectins. Lectins are sugar-binding proteins that act as a natural defense system for plants that protect them from outside invaders like mold and parasites.
This is good news for plants but bad news for your body. Your digestive lining is covered with sugar-containing cells that help break down your food. Lectins gravitate toward this area and when they attach to your digestive lining, it damages your gut and causes inflammation.

Dysbiosis: one of the leading causes of leaky gut is a condition called dysbiosis, which means an imbalance between beneficial and harmful species of bacteria in your gut. For many, this imbalance can begin at birth because of a C-section or because the mother didn’t have a healthy gut herself. The overuse of prescription antibiotic drugs, tap water with chlorine and fluoride, and the lack of probiotic-rich foods contribute to this imbalance of good and bad bacteria.

Body pH

The number One cause of massive inflammation , toxicity and decreased immune response is Acidity.
Body acidity is caused by poor diet, toxins, heavy metals, electromagnetic pollution, dental infections and negative emotions.
You have to be alkaline for your body to heal.

Your body pH has to be between 6.4 – 7.0
Over 7.0 is bad because your body is leeching minerals (calcium, magnesium and others) out of the blood, and as soon as you correct the problem the pH will drop to 4.5 – 5.0

Check body pH by testing first morning urine after 5 am for a period of at least 2 weeks.
It has to be the first morning urine pH after 5 a.m. because you are checking the body’s metabolism.
There are doctors that check salivary pH which is not as accurate as the urine pH because the salivary pH has not metabolized through the body.
Just about EVERY thyroid patient will probably be acidic!
When you’re acidic, your body leaches minerals out of your bones to buffer your blood!
These minerals, calcium, magnesium and trace minerals are VERY IMPORTANT to the thyroid patient because cells of your body need to accept the thyroid hormone, T3, and they cannot accept T3 without an ample supply of minerals.
There are so many medical doctors chasing symptoms by prescribing T4 and T3 medications instead of getting to the CAUSE by addressing the patient’s acidity and low minerals which suppresses T4 and T3.
Many doctors, including some “thyroid experts,” miss this fact completely!

T4 conversion to T3 is dependent on the mineral zinc and low levels of selenium will cause inactivity of T3.
Should one take handfuls of zinc and selenium? NO! You should get it from the food that you eat!
Beef, lamb, veal, crab, shrimp, scallops, oysters, turkey, pumpkin, yogurt, peanuts, sesame and squash seeds all contain high levels of zinc.
Tuna, cod, halibut, sardines, shrimp, salmon, beef, turkey, and lamb are all high in selenium.
Instead of taking handfuls of the medications T3 and T4, why not let good food be a part of our healing process?

When you are acidic, you are at greater risk for heavy metal toxicity which in turn causes a downward spiral of free radicals!
Being acidic creates a welcoming environment for viruses and bacteria to flourish! You may have noticed that you are more susceptible to more colds and flu, this is one of the reasons WHY.

How does one become more alkaline?

Change your diet!
STOP eating junk! NOW!
There is no such thing as “junk food,” there is food and there is junk.
Eat more :
organic vegetables,
lean grass-­‐fed, organic meat,
wild fish and game and
a limited amount of organic fruits.
Preferably, eat only stone fruits or fruits with a pit in it like a peach or plum because they are lower on the glycemic index.
Berries (raspberries, strawberries, blackberries and blueberries) are also low on the glycemic index.
Eat more organic vegetables and drink fresh-­‐squeezed, organic vegetable juice!
Drink good, high-­‐quality water! Avoid tap water as it is full of chemicals.

Deodorant – aluminium in deodorant is absorbed through skin- keep aluminium deodorant use to a minimum. Use Essential oil based deoderants

When aluminum is bound to excitotoxins glutamate and/or aspartate, it’s entry into your brain is significantly elevated. Once in the brain, aluminum increases iron-­‐induced free radical activity!

Make-up – know what you are putting on your skin

Anti- bacterial liquid hand soaps – chemicals shown to be toxic

 

There are other toxic chemicals besides aluminum in your antiperspirant and deodorants?

Antiperspirants and deodorants also contain parabens which can disrupt hormone balance,
triclosan which is a pesticide, propylene glycol that has been shown to damage he heart, liver and central nervous system and finally, phthalates which are linked to a higher risk of birth defects.
Go to your local health food store and get an all-­‐natural  deodorant.
