Alkaline vs Acidic Food for Health and to Fight Cancer

Alkaline or acid overload (acidosis)?  Over consumption of red meat protein, tomatoes and other foods that cause a high level of acidity, acidosis, in the blood are responsible in part for conditions that set the stage for various diseases including cancer and heart disease. 

In people who are free of disease and these foods are fine in a balanced diet there is usually no issue but when cancer has had the opportunity to develop it is in part because of acidic conditions in the body which cancer cells find opportunistic and allow for their easier development.  Inflammation is part of the issue with cancer and other age related disorders and acidity is often associated with inflammation in the body. 

People who have suffered cancer development owe it to themselves to periodically test their pH levels on a daily basis.  Ph kits for testing of the alkaline/acidity in saliva or the urine are inexpensive and can be purchased at your local pharmacy or off the web.  Although they are not often recommended by doctors that does not mean they are not useful.  Ph kits are useful and to augment your doctors medical advice.  The knowledge they provide is extremely useful and gives you insight into how your body's level of acidity or lack of thereof are balanced or out of balance.  

Diet and dietary changes are useful in restoring a healthy pH are well worth the small investment in your  money and time.

N-Acetyl-Carnosie Eye Drops

Dogs and other critters with cataract formation can benefit from N-acetyl-carnosine eye drops that apparently dissolve the cataract over time.  In a previous blog post (below) I wrote about some of the benefits carnosine provides including muscle integrity.  Eye drops are available that will help offset the necessity for elderly to undergo cataract surgery and for senior dogs to regain their sight in the course of time with these eye drops. 

I read somewhere recently that carnosine is the substance used when the removal of cataracts take place and is a safe ocular substance. 

I would advise visitors to do additional research regarding this substance and return to this blog for additional information that I will present regarding these miracle eye drops.
