pH Demystified: Toxicity (Part III)

A toxic system cannot function efficiently. Several things occur when the body is excessively acidic. The mitochondria within the cell will operate on a back-up system that is 10 times less efficient. This occurs because there is insufficient oxygen to run at peak so instead of producing around 30 units of energy per cycle it will only produce 3 units. Remember the body is built to survive so it will do the best it can in the environment you have created. The body will “rob” alkaline minerals from various tissues to get to the next now, leading to gall stones, osteoporosis, heart disease and more. Bacteria and cancer cells thrive in an acidic/low oxygen environment. Eventually the body becomes so depleted and exhausted we develop serious and life threatening conditions. As Dr. Morter pointed out, exhaustion is ultimately the cause of every condition created by excessive physical, chemical and mental/emotional stress leading to the body’s inability to adapt.
