In the course of normal life, your body can build up an excess of acid. When you become too acidic, you experience increased inflammation, irritability, and emotional intensity. Reducing excessive acidity can be achieved by using the alkalizing effects of certain foods and minerals, including Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium.
The pH level of your internal fluids affects your overall health by affecting every living cell in your body. Your body contains about ten gallons of fluid, or about 70% of your total body mass. Except for the acid contents of the stomach, all of this intra and extra-cellular fluid, blood, lymph, bile, saliva, urine, etc. must be maintained within a mildly alkaline pH range. For example, the required pH for the blood is between 7.35 and 7.45. When this ratio shifts even slightly, the body goes through rapid metabolic and respiratory responses to attempt to maintain the exact alkaline environment to avoid convulsions, coma,

“I became painfully aware of the influence the brain has on the gut.”
If you ever felt butterflies in your stomach or had a gut feeling, you have experienced the actions of the dual nervous systems. Two brains, one is in your head and the other in your gut.
The connection between the brain and the gut lies at the heart of physical and psychological pain. Conditions like anxiety, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers and Parkinson’s disease manifest symptoms at the brain and the gut level.
One system’s dysfunction may affect the other.
The majority of people with anxiety and depression will also have GI dysfunction. Antidepressants, for example, cause gastric discomfort in up to a quarter of the people who take them. Butterflies in the stomach are caused by stress hormones released by the body in a “fight or flight” responds. Stress can also overstimulate nerves in the esophagus, causing a feeling of choking.
The role of

About 40 million Americans suffer from frequent acid reflux (heartburn), which usually occurs after a meal. It is a condition in which the acid from the stomach enters into the esophagus. Although almost everyone experiences acid reflux at some time, some people experience it frequently and severely. Regurgitation of gastric acid or sour contents into the mouth, difficult or painful swallowing and chest pain can occur. Acid may also be regurgitated into the lungs, which can result in asthma, coughing, wheezing and hoarseness, and if acid reaches the mouth it can dissolve teeth enamel.
Most often there is insufficient stomach acid and a lack of digestive enzymes coupled with a compromised digestive system. All of these conditions affect your ability to properly digest food. The result is putrefaction of the food and acid reflux.
Eliminating sugar, processed, dead food, and sodas is the first effective step that aids healing. Drinking plenty of pure water, combined with good

Some of the most common symptoms of a systemic fungal infection are sinus problems, digestive disorders, thrush, vaginal yeast infection, athletes foot, cracking sound in neck, stiffness in joints and muscles, failing eyesight and toenail fungus. Nursing mothers can experience breast rashes. Children are also targets for Candida overgrowth. Many are born with it or develop it after their first exposure to antibiotics. A pregnant woman may experience an increase in Candida growth due to hormonal changes normal to pregnancy. If she already has Candida or is very susceptible, an outbreak may occur in the birth canal. The baby will then contract it and become infected as it passes through the birth canal.
Severe diaper rash, rectal rashes or infections, rashes in the genital area, and colic are the most common symptoms in babies.
The above conditions are the result of systemic fungal infections. It is the location of the infection that produces different symptoms and has
