When you consume foods, they will either cause your body to become more acidic or alkaline. When your body becomes acidic, then the oxygen in your body starts to diminish. On the contrary when your body becomes more alkaline, the oxygen throughout your body is increased.
When your body is alkaline, you will find yourself healing from cuts and scratches, bruises and other noticeable issues over night. When your body is heavily acidic, you will find that it can sometimes take days or even weeks for these minor issues to resolve themselves.
If your cells lose more than 65% oxygen, meaning that your cell has 35% or less oxygen, it will become cancerous. And, if your cells regain that oxygen, your cells will repair themselves and the cancer will go away.
If you have cancer, and you are treating the cancer specifically, you are essentially not helping yourself because cancer is only the symptom of a problem, it is what you should use to recognize a different issue. You're simply too acidic.
If you would like to know more about this specifically, you can learn about DR. Otto Warburg, who in 1931 won a nobel prize for his cancer discovery.
An excellent quote by him says as follows: "No disease including cancer, can exist in an alkaline environment."
Stomach acid. Is acid. How does any variance in your pH intake change your body's pH level if everything goes to the stomach?
Acidity and alkalinity are on opposite sides of the pH scale and can be influenced by adding a little of the opposite via cancellation. If you have ever had heartburn and eaten an antacid like tums you've changed the pH of your stomach by adding an alkaline substance. A little bit goes a long way.
I understand the pH scale. If you add alkaline foods/drinks, it should either: lower your stomach acidity temporarily interrupting your digestion, or your stomach & gallbladder responds by increasing stomach acids. Since there is no concern for interrupting digestion, then that means 2nd option is what is going on.
If your stomach autocorrects it's acidity, then how can alkaline foods make a meaningful difference on your body?
I genuinely want to know if there is any validity to alkaline body stuff - everything I have seen so far seems like snake oil
Here is a chart I find interesting about food cravings and what they actually mean. https://natureworksbest.com/naturopathy-works/food-cravings/
