Acidosis has been a serious focus for me this week.
Gout a condition of acidosis and is well-known as the painful condition that occurs from too much uric acid in the bloodstream. Gout is a great example and easily fits into the whole acidosis conversation.
Acidosis or an overly acidic inner bodily terrain . . .
. . . is when too much acid waste has accumulated in the tissues and joints of our bodies.
In the Foreword of his famous book, Alkalize or Die, Dr. Theodore Baroody says;
“The world is facing the largest health crisis in recorded history. Modern synthetic practices have all but destroyed us. Every illness of the past, so carefully kept under control or thought to be eliminated is emerging in more virulent scourges, as artificial suppressants no loner avail.”
I dealt with chronic gout for many years and when I finally found out how to stop it, I started shouting from the rooftops. It was a very strange thing that I was taking the drugs, and slowly becoming more aware of the way I was living that contributed to my condition of gout but I never understood this thing, this acidosis.
As I look back on it now, I’m sort of pissed about how all the direction and help I was getting from my doctors was that only drugs could do anything about gout . . . boy, were they wrong!
When I got a hold of the information about how the cells worked and how the pH of the body chemistry played it to the big picture, it only took a few months before my life of gout was in the rear-view mirror!
Now as I’ve learned more and more about it, I’m back up on the roof shouting; “gout is only the beginning!” heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity and gout all thrive in an overly acidic body condition.
ACIDOSIS! Can You Hear Me Now?
