Vaxa Journal

I must admit that I was intrigued as I flipped through the journal and encountered repeated references to pH — here was something a chemist could really sink his teeth into. Scientists routinely use the pH scale to measure the acidity of a solution, be it blood, wine, or tap water but I never realized that the wrong pH could be killing us. Yet that is exactly what the Vaxa Journal contends. The pH Factor The Real Silent Killer, reads the headline. The solution to longevity is simple pop a Buffer-pH capsule daily and lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, cancer, obesity, multiple sclerosis, and Alzheimer s disease. 

How can this be Is it possible that research scientists around the world have somehow missed this simple answer to the mystery of degenerative disease The Vaxa Journal articles sure seem to make a good case for it. They examine in detail how blood pH is critical to maintaining good health, and they describe the calamities that ensue when pH ventures outside the normal range of 7.35-7.45. Physicians, of course, know all about this. They know that acidosis can cause weakness, nausea, confusion, and even death. They know that alkalosis, a condition in which the blood is too basic, can cause irritability, muscle twitching, and convulsions. They know that these conditions require immediate treatment. But they also know how rarely they occur. 

Now let s get back to the science fiction that is not relevant to daily life. Like the notion that all degenerative disease is triggered by unhealthy pH. The writers of the remarkable articles in The Vaxa Journal discuss the potential dangers of acidosis but then go on to insinuate that this is a common problem. Why Because the North American diet, which contains a lot of protein, leads to an acid residue in the body, the seed-bed of all degenerative diseases. While it is true that certain foods can have an acid or basic residue, the fact is that this is irrelevant in face of the healthy body s buffering ability. If there is too much acid, the body neutralizes or excretes it. The pH of the urine may be affected, but not the pH of the blood. The journal makes one last fantastic allegation cholesterol...
