Fight Lyme With Balanced pH
Think of your body as a fish tank. What happens when the filter stops working after a week? What about after a month? Now try to imagine that fish tank after years…and that is similar to what happens to our blood when the pH isn’t balanced. The fish in this tank are our cells and the fish water is our body fluids, which transports food and removes waste.
Basically, this is a small example of what we are doing to our internal fluids every day if we don’t eat properly. We are fouling them with pollution, smoking, alcohol, drugs, excessive intake of food, over-consumption of acid-forming foods, and any number of transgressions which compromise the delicate balance of our internal alkaline fluids.
Some of us have fish tanks (bodies) that are barely able to support life, yet we somehow manage to struggle from day to day, building more sever imbalances until there is the inevitable crash and debilitating chronic, disturbing and disorganizing symptoms to deal with.
Now if we have Lyme disease, the condition is even more life-threatening.
To put it simply, Lyme disease thrives in acidic bodies.
To make matters even worse, yeast, the dreaded by-product of antibiotics, also thrives in acidic bodies.
Dr. Robert O. Young states in his book “Sick & Tired” that the over-acidification of the body is the single underlying cause of all disease. He calls that “The New Biology“.
In contrast, the “Old Biology“ is based on the work of Louis Pasteur in the late 1800s which stems from the idea that disease comes from germs which invade the body from the outside. Most of all western medicine is based upon the “Old Biology“ even today in spite of the evidence that has been discovered by hundreds of scientists in addition to Dr. Young. Study after study agrees with patient testimonials from Dr. Young and others that when the body is in healthy alkaline balance, germs are unable to get a foothold.
The pH level (the acid-alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind are not well tolerated by the body. In fact, the entire metabolic process depends on a balanced internal pH.
A chronically over-acidic pH corrodes body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of veins and arteries like acid eating into marble. If left unchecked, it will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain.
In summary, acid terrains in our bodies either cause or at the very least feed all health problems.
Weight problems are from too much acidity!
Perhaps one of Dr. Young’s most well known discoveries is his theory of the cause of overweight. He has shown that fat is actually an over-acidification problem.
How can that be?
The body creates fat cells to carry acids away from your vital organs, so these acids literally don’t choke your organs to death. Fat is saving your life! Fat is actually a response from the body to an alarming over-acidic condition.

What if you are under weight?
At the other end of the health spectrum, the yeast and fungus produced within an overly acidic body can feed on your nutrients and reduce the chemical and mechanical absorption of everything you eat by as much as 50%.
This causes many people to become excessively thin, which is no healthier than becoming overweight. Without protein, your body cannot rebuild new tissues or produce enzymes, hormones, or hundreds of other chemical components necessary for cell energy and organ activity. Fatigue, illness, and body weight changes are the results. An underweight person may loose a little more weight as their body chemistry stabilizes. As their body normalizes, they will begin to gain towards their ideal weight.
Healthy bodies are not overweight or underweight. A healthy body naturally maintains its own ideal weight. As alkalizing and oxygenation begins to take place, the body naturally begins to seek its own ideal weight.
Allergies
The toxins produced within an overly acidic, oxygen deprived body may contribute significantly to what are often called the symptoms of allergy. In addition, the absorption of undigested proteins is a major cause of allergy conditions. The digestive system is weakened, which prevents the total breakdown of amino acids - often causing food allergies. This alone may produce a wide spectrum of severe allergic reactions.
Fatigue
Fatigue is probably the major symptom or complaint of an overly acidic body. The toxins produced in an acidic body environment reduce the absorption of protein and minerals, which in turn weakens the body’s ability to produce enzymes and hormones. This also interferes with the reconstruction of cells and other necessary components of energy production. The result is fatigue, poor endurance, an inability to add muscle tone, and general weakness.
Water
Another important consideration in correcting our body’s pH balance is hydration.
Like the earth on which we live, our bodies are 70% water. Food cravings are often the body’s cry for water which is easily proved by tossing down a glass of water the next time you feel hunger pains between planned meals. Conversely, you will notice as I did that hunger pains taper off when your body is properly hydrated.
Lyme Disease
The importance of diet for recovery from Lyme disease has been well documented by many Lyme-literate doctors and is included in most Lyme treatment protocols. Protein and vegetable are unrestricted (with the exception of a few very starchy roots) while sugar and starches are severely restricted. This is because of the vital importance of a healthy pH balance.
It is unrealistic to hope for recovery from the Lyme disease while feeding it daily with the typical American diet!
What is the solution?
Obviously diet is a big part of balancing our pH. According to Dr. Young the more green vegetables you can eat the better – six to eight servings per day. Of course they must be organic and free of any possible toxins, and they need to be absolutely fresh.
But realistically this is especially difficult for those of us with Lyme disease due to:
* Effort involved in going to the market frequently.
* Financial burden of purchasing vast quantities of organic produce.
* Effort preparing vegetables.

Detoxification
When acid waste and toxins enter our blood stream, the blood system will attempt to dispose of these wastes in liquid form through the lungs or the kidneys. If there are too many wastes to handle, they are deposited in various organ systems like the heart, pancreas, liver, colon, and other locations.
The breakdown of this disposal process of acid waste could also be called “the aging process”.
To slow down and reverse this process, we need to start removing this sludge by including liberal amounts of alkaline water in the diet. Alkaline water has a pH between 9 and 11, and will neutralize harmful stored acid wastes and gently remove them from the tissues.
I solve this problem with Quantum Greens.
Quantum Greens is formulated to bring you vital nutrient elements and easily digested protein. This alkalizing, energizing, and nourishing formula begins oxygenating your body.
Quantum Greens has four times the power of ordinary green powders, and contains 23 organically-grown grasses, sprouted grains, vegetables and even fruits which infuse the body with more than 125 easily absorbed vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
