Acid 2 Alkaline Formula Review

Try as we might to bring our bodies into a more alkaline state, there are periods where we will inevitably find it challenging to achieve our alkalinity goals.

High acidity robs our body of important nutrients resulting in acidosis and an imbalance within. Aside from lifestyle and diet, there are other contributors to high acidity and reduced alkalinity in the body.

• Large amounts of over the counter medication. Medicine is acidic and so our already acidic bodies have to work even harder to overcome the additional acids from medicines.

• Over cooking your vegetables – heating them to over 105 degrees. This robs them of the alkaline benefits.

• Eating non-organic fruits and vegetables. These contain pesticides, herbicides and chemicals that are acidic to our bodies. Tip: wash your fruits and vegetables in 11.5ph water to remove all traces of any chemicals, herbicides, pesticides and chlorine. 11.5ph water is an emulsifier of oil and chemical based substances.

• Excessive amounts of vitamin C. If you must take vitamin C supplements, I recommend non-acid forming vitamin C (whole food base).

Effects of acidosis are:

Arthritis, insomnia, migraine headaches, acid or strong perspiration, alternating constipation and diarrhea, burning sensation in the mouth, sensitive teeth to acidic fruits, diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, bumps on the tongue, foul smelling stools, water retention, adrenal disorders, stomach ulcers, obesity, ketosis, anger, stress, anorexia, toxemia and fever amongst other symptoms.

For me, during periods of stress (physical, emotional or mental), I see a noticeable difference in how my body reacts to the increase in acidity caused by the stress. I’m on a more natural and alkaline diet today vs. my past but at the same time, I am starting to exercise more so I needed to find an extra alkaline source to help me maintain balance.

Someone pointed me to RemediesDirect and suggested I try their Acid 2 Alkaline Formula supplements. I ordered some and found them to be just what I needed to assist with getting through those periods of increased acidity. I started out taking 6 capsules a day and am not down to 3 but what I like about them is they provide a balanced source of alkaline complexes such as foods & herbs, sea greens and seed & grains.

If you do not have access to a good source of alkaline water, you may want to consider the powder based formulas.

Improving Your Immunity Through Water

I grew up in a household where one parent did not drink any water.  My mother had an aversion to drinking water because she did not like the taste and so I wasn’t a huge water drinker.  I wasn’t until I was much older, as I approached 40, and I began experiencing what to me were health issues older people usually had, that I started researching on my own what to do about them.

I developed skin coniditions that I learned from my doctor were psoriasis and exzema.  I tried countless medicines and prescriptions as well as old world remedies but nothing seemed to help.

I switched my diet to restrict the amount of processed and artificial foods, consuming more alkaline based foods and while this had tremendous positive effects on my overall health, it did little to cure my skin problems.

Turns out I was still too acidic and much of my acid waste was caused by tremendous stress at the time – divorce, financial pressure and worry.  I was literally neutralizing the benefits of my new found alkaline diet by the stress I endured.

About 18 months ago, I was introduced to alkaline water and it literally changed my life, putting my new alkaline diet on overdrive.   Within a few weeks, my skin conditions began to clear up and about two months later, they were completely gone.

At first, a friend of mine gave me water from a machine he had and when I asked where I could get one, well let’s just say the price was a bit high.  Being the frugal guy I am, I went and found one online for considerably less.

Now, usually I do a thorough investigation before I purchase anything but in this case, I was just trying to get a good deal.  That good deal ended up costing me my invetement as the machine proved to be junk.

I later learned it was a cheap (and overpriced) Chinese mass produced unit with little quality control.  Anyway, I’m not going to go into details here as I’m not promoting any one type of water machine over another.  Just know that for my experience, it was a waste of money and I ended up buying the top of the line alkaline water device to replace it.   If you want to talk to me about it, feel free to call me toll free 866-879-1180.

Today I drink two gallons of alkaline water per day.  The recommended amount your body needs is 1/2 ounce for every pound of body weight – and that’s just for normal body functions.  If you suffer from high acidity, increase that amount to one ounce per pound and you may see some significant changes the way I did.

I’m a big believer in giving back because I was fortunate enough to have friends who cared to share with me so with this site myself and my partners will continue to search out information of value and provide it to you for your benefit and I want to share with you an article on boosting your immunity with water.

By the way, my mother who never drank water, suffered (notice I use past tense) from fibromyalgia and psoriasis.  On a two week visit last year, I convinced her to drink my alkaline water.  At first she resisted but once she tried it, she would not stop.  By the 4th day, she was up to 1/2 ounce per pound of body weight and the pain from her fibromyalgia had disappeared.

You have to understand, my mom traveled with a king sized bottle of motrin wherever she went and would pop pills quite a few times a day to deal with the pain.  For her pain to disappear after four days was virtually a miracle.  And around day 7, the severe psoriasis in her scalp was gone.   Today she enjoys a healthier life because of alkaline water.

I hope you enjoy it.

The Acid Test – How Our Body Deals With Acid

I like to collect articles that support my akaline lifestyle wherever I can find them and I have a few to share with you today.

Here’s a great overview from the OttawaCitizen posted earlier this month about acid and how our body works to combat the effects of our diets.  The author shares a good description of the effects on acid forming foods on our bones.

As we age, this effect is even more pronounced and damaging so unless you make a change in yoru diets today, you risk serious damage to your body as you age.

When we consume acidic foods (or for that matter, when our body produces excessive acid waste through the foods we eat, the stress we endure and even from basic metabolic processes), the body’s alarms go off telling it to gather as many buffers as it can to neutralize the acid.

Typical buffers are bicorbonate (the major buffer in our body), magnesium and calcium.  The largest source of buffering agents is in our bones.  The body is designed to protect itselt and so our brains have no problem instructing the body to grab buffers from our bones.  If the process of over acidity is chronic and continual, what results is osteoporosis.
