My Plants and Your Cancer Love Acidic Drinks

We are told “any fluids will be fine”, “you don’t need that much water”, “drinking fruit juices and teas are fine”…rarely is it said that sodas are harmful. Likewise, the concentrated sugars in fruit juice are not mentioned, and you never hear about the pH of a drink ever being questioned. I believe it DOES matter which kinds of fluids you put in your body; just like it matters to a plant what kinds of liquids you give it. In a plant, soil matters, pH matters, and the amount and kind of water (or liquid) seriously matters. Human bodies are no different. Our blood is our soil. Our tissues and organs crave the right nutrients.

Why would an M.D. take issue with this or say that with “liquids” it doesn’t matter? Not for any bad reason, I’m sure. With all due respects, the training of an American M.D. emphasizes belief systems and medical practices that often defy logic or intuition. We are coached to override our natural healing abilities and introduce powerful drugs into our systems. More than 800,000 people die annually from complications of prescription dosage and allergies. Many of us are searching for other solutions, and for me, alkaline water has become both a preventative action step and a natural health solution.

Have you ever noticed what the right kind of water pH will do for a plant? Rain water is slightly acidic and many plants seem to “glow” after a good rain. How long does a plant remain in good health after a dose of the wrong pH (soil or water)? Most plants don’t last long on beer, milk or syrupy sodas. Notice that the plant stores don’t ask us to water plants with “liquids”.

Are humans so different? Following this article are several links reinforcing the power of pH for plants and soil; this is my favorite article on this subject: pH Plant Preferences: Greenhouse and Pot Plants

Plants in my garden are gardenias, geraniums, mandavillas and various cactus and succulent types. The cactus, succulents, and gardenias THRIVE in 5.25 pH environments, while the geraniums like a higher alkalinity at 7.5. My garden hose provides water at a pH closest to the needs of the geraniums. And when I water the other three with the acid water that I accumulate from the run-off from my water ionizer, my plants reach for the sky with joy at the 5-5.5 water they get. Plants know when they are getting the right kind of water for their needs.

Why don’t we water plants with sodas, fruit juice, and tea? Because we are clear that plants need water, not “liquids”. They also need a specific pH that provides minerals and nutrients. Our human blood is similar. Because we breathe out, urinate and sweat every day, we need to replenish with water. Then, we need to be sure the water and foods we consume are right for our blood. The pH of our blood, our digestion and our brain is affected by what we consume. Additionally, our blood is very watery, as are our brains, tissues and other organs. (See the article on Your Brain: Your Body’s Drought Manager). If we are chronically dehydrated, then organs, blood, bones, and brain will experience pain, cramps, mental fogginess, and as time goes on…disease. (See the article on the Three Ways to Know You are Experiencing Dehydration).

Your blood type is a factor too! Just like plants require different degrees of sandiness, richness of earth or may require certain nutrients in their soil, our blood needs those variations too. Blood type O’s cannot eat and drink the same foods as Type A, Type B or Type AB without allergic reactions and malfunctioning consequences. Why? Because each blood type already has a defined chemistry unique to its type. Blood Type O is an acidic blood…coffee, orange juice, and milk undermine the health of an O. These foods take an already acidic blood and make it more acidic. This is how important pH is. For more information, see Dr. D’Adamo’s Eat Right 4Your Type books and website at the end of this article.

There is quite a bit of evidence that cancer thrives in an acidic environment. Cancer thrives on sugars, lack of oxygen, and acidic blood. Patients on chemotherapy are put on strict sugarless diets to reduce the foods that fuel cancer. What does that tell you? Already too acidic, the doctors are asking you to become more alkaline.

With every choice we have the opportunity to either promote or challenge our good health. Learning more about the types of beneficial foods that promote a healthy blood pH will help you avoid major diseases. It is the pH of our extracellular fluids where the acidity begins and eventually contaminates our intracellular blood pH. I’ve included excerpts from books (below) to help you quickly find the longer explanations of how this works.

One easy way to avoid all of that (since replenishing the water in your body on a daily basis is very important) is to switch your drinking water to ionized (oxygenated and electrically charged) water. The anti-oxidant properties are high, the water can be easily absorbed, and the ability to raise the pH of your extracellular fluids becomes an easy task. An optimum blood pH of 7.3 to 7.4 will help your body resist illness and diseases. Like a healthy green plant, you’ll be reaching for the sky with joy and beauty because of the chemical balance in your life!

You’ll see the results in your skin, your clear vision, and your overall health!
