The importance of proper alkalization

What is Alkalization? 

Alkalization is measured in Ph value to the body.   Ph is a measure of the amount of hydrogen ions in the body.  Too much hydrogen creates acids, which lowers your Ph and allows for the growth of fungus, bacteria, viruses, all live in an acidic environment.  So, the key is to reduce the amount of acid to allow a higher Ph balance.  This is done through alkalization.  Alkalization raises your Ph level to make it an unhealthy environment for outside organisms.  The Ph must be at an alkaline level.  It all starts with digestion and the GI system.  Digestion is the key starting point to the alkalization process.

How do I know if my Ph is too low? 

Ph can be measured with Ph test strips.  A person who is under stress, or is susceptible to funguses, bacteria or viruses, should test their Ph levels on a regular basis.  Otherwise and occasional test should be sufficient.

What does a low Ph mean to my health? 

A low Ph allows for the growth of viruses, bacteria, and funguses leading to infections.  It is also responsible for most hormone imbalances.  The body is not allowed to detoxify properly due to the inordinate amount of waste material present in the body.  This excess waste material contributes to constipation, diarrhea, and urinary problems.  Also, malabsorbption, which is a primary symptom of low Ph levels, since your body is unable to properly absorb nutrients because they may be killed off by the acids and must compete with waste material in the system.. 

Stress is a key factor in causing low Ph and can be seen as GIRD, or Acid Reflux, and heartburn.

How do I raise my Ph?

Eating a clean healthy diet low acidic foods (green foods), exercise, which raises endorPhins,  filtered or bottled water, vegetables salad, lemon juice, olive oils, reduction in stressors, and an alkalizer complete with amino acids.  Aloe-Vera gel is soothing on the system and alkalizing on the system.

HCl [hydrochloric acid] is essential for life.  It helps the alkaline the digestive system.,  It is the first thing to reduce food in the digestive system.   Without HCl the body cannot properly convert chemicals to alkalinity.  HCl is the only acid the body naturally produces.  All other acids must be introduced into the body from outside sources.  After the body breaks down the food it is proper stages.  Without it the foods become a mass of waste acids to be absorbed into the body, reducing the Ph levels.  Once its job is done, it returns to a natural alkaline state. Eight essential amino acids, two vitamins and fifteen minerals all depend on a proper HCl level to be absorbed into the system. After the age of the age 40 HCl drastically reduces in the body, requiring supplementation.

NTI’s Alkalizer contains blue green algae and other greens in the form of spirulina, Alfalfa, and aloe vera gel, which is soothing to the GI system. It includes amino acids such as L-Arginine HCl, L-Glutamic Acid HCl, L-Histidine HCl and L-Ornithine HCl.
It has the added benefit of NT FACTOR , which will help your body easily absorb these nutrients in a gentle manner so your body sees them all as food or food sources. All working in combination to gently return the body to its proper Ph levels and easily convert ammonia, the most common source of acid, to a harmless form of urea.
