ACID – "THE TROJAN HORSE”.

ACID – "THE TROJAN HORSE”.

Dr. Mary Ruth Swope

If you go to the dictionary to see the meaning of “Trojan Horse” you will find the second meaning is this:

“a person or thing that is designed to undermine or destroy from within”.

If you have done even a little bit of study about the pH of our body and its effect on health, you know that excess acid truly is a thing from within that undermines or destroys the body. Most Americans are too acid for whole body health. Let me repeat that. Even individuals interested in nutrition that I have tested are still too acid much of the time.

Before I go further, let’s define the meaning of acid/alkaline.

The acid or alkaline measurement in your body is classified in what’s called pH factors. pH simply means potential of hydrogen. The pH scale is 0-14 with 0 being the most acidic, 7 being neutral and 14 being the most alkaline. The ideal pH of body fluids that we are interested in are as follows: HCL (stomach acid) 1.0, saliva 6.5 and urine 7.0.

For comparison, here are other pH readings:

 Water 7.0

 Cola drinks 2.3

 Fruit juice drinks 3.4 to 4.3

 Gatorade 2.9

In our generation, doctors make diseases appear to be so complicated that the average person thinks that only a medical doctor of some variety can help us. This simply is not true at all. To understand the symptoms and the diseases that we are experiencing now is simply to understand acidity, alkalinity, toxicity and how the body responds to these conditions.

 A respectable doctor has said that he believes there are 3 root causes of 99% of all disease symptoms.

I do not doubt that he is correct. These are:

• Genetic weaknesses. Genetics passes on to us our strengths/weaknesses from one generation to another. It is not the factor that has the greatest impact on our health. I will not deal with this subject in this paper but just acknowledge that it exists and that it does have an influence from birth to death on a host of conditions that we deal with on a daily basis.

• Toxicity. This is a condition caused by substances that act like a poison and they make us toxic. Drugs are probably the #1 cause of poison.

• Over acidity. This is simply too much acid in our blood, saliva, urine and tissues.

I want to review both of these two latter situations. But first, I want to explain the true significance of the alkalinity/acidity of the body on self-healing and on the cleansing mechanisms that are already built into us by nature. This will give you an overview of how disease starts and of the extreme importance of keeping ourselves in pH balance.

I want to share with you the work of Dr. William Lee Cowden a graduate of the University Of Texas Med School, a person who is board certified in Internal Medicine, Cardiovascular disease and Clinical Nutrition. He

Summarizes for us the effect of pH on all of the bodies’ systems. Everything Dr. Cowden says is true whether we are too acid or too alkaline. I’ll only use the word “acid” because that IS The Trojan Horse in America at the moment. Let’s take a look:

#1. THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM:

Problems here cause more deaths than anything.

During conditions of excessive acidity (or alkalinity), bacteria, fungi or viruses can attach themselves to the inner wall of the arteries. This can cause a plaque to form which narrows the arteries and restricts the blood flow.

It also restricts the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues being supplied by that artery. This, of course, is one thing that causes heart attacks and cancer. Cancer cells are anaerobic – they live without oxygen.

If excessive acidity is present, calcium can deposit in the arterial plaque and that makes the arteries stiff which can raise the blood pressure and eventually cause heart failure. Is blood pressure medicine the right

answer? No! Eventually patients die of blood pressure complications when drugs are used to correct blood pressure. The cause was not corrected!!!

#2. THE NERVOUS SYSTEM:

When brain cells are too acid (or too alkaline) they dysfunction. This keeps them from producing neurotransmitters which stops communication with adjacent brain cells. This can result with insomnia, anxiety, depression, neurosis, psychosis and impairment of memory. Since the brain is supposed to communicate through the spinal cord and other nerves to every cell in the body, every system can dysfunction if the nervous system malfunctions due to either too much alkaline or too much acid.

So if you can’t sleep, are anxious, nervous, depressed, etc. check your saliva/urine to see if they are acid. DRUGS ARE NOT the solution here. They are acid and acid cannot be alleviated by taking in MORE acid!

#3. The Structural System:

When we deplete calcium in our muscles from excessive exercise or for other reasons, we get muscle cramps. Calcium is needed to bind up the excess acid in our muscles. As calcium is pulled from the bone to

neutralize the acid, the calcium stores become depleted and that causes osteoporosis, weakened and collapsed vertebrae and often poor back posture and back pain. Eventually the person ends up with degenerative arthritis.

It’s not as complicated as you think. Calcium stores can be replenished with the right diet and supplements!!

#4. THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM:

 The place where the body breakdown starts.

When the pH is too acid or too alkaline the cells lining the stomach and small intestine and those in the pancreas dysfunction and do not produce and release the digestive enzymes that we need. These results in indigestion, the production of gas, bloating and abdominal cramping. When this occurs nutrients do not get absorbed from the food and malnutrition can result in the presence of adequate food intake. Also, undigested foods ferment in the intestines causing real toxicity. We spend millions of dollars on anti-acid preparations which only complicates matters – which WILL get worse and CHRONIC if we don’t change the root cause.

AIM’s BARLEYLIFE , of course, is the quickest, easiest solution to an acid stomach.

#5. THE INTESTINAL SYSTEM:

Either too much acid or alkaline causes the colon cells to dysfunction. This results in diarrhoea, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation or diverticulitis. A disturbed pH balance in the colon can also cause unfriendly microbes to grow and thrive and result in colitis and inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s and hemorrhoids.

Quite a list of symptoms being experienced by millions of Americans, eh? All of which can be corrected without drugs, surgery or other expensive measures.

#6. THE IMMUNE SYSTEM:

When immune cells are too acid or too alkaline antibodies or cytacynes are impaired in production. As a result, the individual becomes susceptible to viral, bacterial, fungal and other infectious microbes as well as cancer. I can’t stress enough the importance of strengthening your own immune system.

YOU ARE in charge – totally.

#7. THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM:

If pH is too acid or too alkaline microbes in the airways can grow more easily. This can cause bronchitis, pneumonia and sinusitis. This can result in asthma and increased susceptibility to cough and bronchial spasms. Think of all your family and friends who have these problems. Drugstore shelves are filled with money-makers geared at these symptoms all of which have side effects and weaken the immune system.

#8. THE URINARY SYSTEM:

When we have too much acid, calcium can form crystals and stones in the kidney-collecting system.

When these stones dislodge and pass down the urethra toward the bladder they cause excruciating pain.

#9. THE GLANDULAR SYSTEM:

All of the endocrine glands produce hormones from enzymatic action. If the pH is too acid or too alkaline the glandular cells cannot produce and release sufficient hormones for our needs. This results in mood swings,

blood sugar imbalances, fatigue, reproductive difficulties and other conditions.

From this brief summary of Dr. Cowden’s work, you can see that it is absolutely necessary for our bodies to be in proper pH balance for every single system within us to function and create good health. It is true that the human body can heal itself through homeostasis by balancing the pH levels. Begin to prove this to yourself – and begin sharing this concept with friends and relatives. Why? Because AIM’s BarleyLife is the perfect food to cause a quick and total answer to many of the symptoms we suffer from today. It is the ideal whole, instant, high octane, high alkaline food that causes sick cells to change to healthy cells.

Now, let’s look at toxicity. Most of us have a lot of toxins in our bodies. We smoke. We drink alcohol. We drink impure water. We eat fried foods, especially deep fried foods. We eat rare meats (meaning meat with blood still in it), lots of pork, shellfish, catfish and chicken and turkey which are pumped full of drugs. Vegetables and fruits are sprayed heavily with toxic poisons. And now we have to contend with genetically modified foods and irradiated foods – both of which are going to produce very serious health problems including new diseases.

This is my belief.

We take over-the-counter, under-the-counter and street drugs to the tune of billions of dollars’ worth annually. And don’t forget the dog and cat dander, dust mites, molds and a host of other allergens. We still haven’t learned that microwave energy was never intended by God to be used by human beings. So we stress the heck out of our immune systems to compensate for microwave cell assault by both microwave ovens and cell phones!!!

Other sources of toxins that are acidic include the air we breathe, body hygiene products, household cleaning products, building materials, furniture chemicals and thousands more. The major components of our

present diet produce toxicity – an overall term which means poison and which includes mucous accumulation from such foods as dairy products, complex sugars, toxic metals, mineral deposits and environmental irritants.

So we are toxic. Whenever we ingest toxins from any source, in any amount, we feel some shade of “lousy”. What makes us feel lousy? What is happening? Our energy is shifted from helping us do what we want to do and need to do-- to what it has to do to keep us living. Our body’s resources are totally redirected from digestion and assimilation to handling our toxic problems.

Our immune system, made up of Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine Corp/Coast Guard and Green Berets “protectors” inside of us – all have their pre-programmed functions. So the T cells, B cells, phagocytes, leukocytes, macrophages, and many other workers represent a great arsenal – stockpiled with ammunition for releasing and processing released toxins. These represent magnificently designed mechanisms that attempt to transport these toxins from the main blood circulation in our bodies. They try to stuff or store these poisons in less critical tissues and cells to places like our bones and our fat cell deposits.

They may stay there for years, acting like “landfills” to keep the poisons out of the mainstream of activity. But overflow they will. An illustration is with acne during teen years. The pus stays in the fat cells.

BarleyLife will pick it out and heal the skin – beautifully.

The time comes when we can’t maintain our health until we go through a catharsis of some kind – something that causes a slow, steady release of the poisons that are burdening our bodies and weakening us.

If I mentioned all the foods in our diet that I feel are too acidic and really bad for us, the list would be very, very long. But I must mention some of the things that I feel are our greatest enemies.

The foods that we are eating made from white flour (white bread, macaroni, noodles, pizza dough, pie dough and so forth) act like glue in the tissues of our body. This causes plaque to build up and it is acid plaque.

 Most soft drinks are in the range of 2.3 to 4.0 on the pH scale. A biochemist has made the discovery that it takes 32 glasses of alkaline water to neutralize the acidity of one Coca Cola, for example.

A third food that needs a special recognition as a Trojan Horse is sugar. Not only is sugar acid but it is a narcotic and creates addictions. It fills our tissues with toxins that inflame, infect, imbalance and create dreadful

havoc to our cells, tissues and organs. I have left out ulceration, tumors, cancers and other cell degenerative conditions in mentioning the disadvantages of sugar. Make sure to take note, and, if possible, make a change in your consumption of sugar.

The human consumption of cow’s milk leads to mucous-forming substances stored in all tissues but especially in your sinuses, throat, thyroid, lungs, muscles, liver, kidneys and the skin. It only takes two weeks to get completely clear if you discontinue cow’s milk. Goat’s milk is good for us.

The body tries to purge itself of these toxins and many of them are given labels as if they were diseases when they are nothing more than the elimination efforts of the body to get clean – to rid itself of dying or dead

cells.

Many other foods could be mentioned. You know them. But are you willing to give up French Fries, all kinds of chips, ice cream, candy bars and plain chocolate? Some will be forced to! It would be nice if you could

make the choice so you could have a better quality of life.

Toxins build up within cells (in other words intracellular) and around cells (interstitially), in the vascular system, in the organs and glands, in the bowels and in the cavities of our body. Combine this with an over acid

diet and you get inflammation, ulceration, tumors and eventually cell degeneration and cellular death. The signs that indicate toxicity are ever present. Bad colds, flu, lymphatic conditions, lung conditions, gastrointestinal conditions, infections (to name a few) are all symptoms of accumulation of toxicity in the body.

As already indicated, your immune system and or parasites act upon this toxicity. The parasites feed upon the toxins and this is often mistakenly called an autoimmune disorder. I would like to point out here that I

believe it would be good for all of us to work on cleansing our system by several means. It is good to go on a liver cleanse, a kidney cleanse, a gallbladder cleanse every 6 months or so. And certainly fasting is a wonderful way to clear out toxins and get rid of an over acid situation. Even fasting two meals a day in a 24 hour period once a week greatly improves the level of toxins in the body. I highly recommend it. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years now.

 It works!! And my ROOTS AND FRUITS OF FASTING book tells you all you need to know to get started and end successfully.

Hippocrates, the Father of medicine, as well as Socrates and Plato, used fasting as a viable treatment to facilitate nature’s self-healing processes for eliminating a large number of diseases. A few modern doctors are just now accepting fasting in that same way.

People can fast away conditions such as allergies, asthma, bursitis, hay fever, high blood pressure, kidney disease, nervous exhaustion, obesity, poor circulation, rheumatism, schizophrenia, skin disease and stress.

It is also a successful treatment for anemia, any “itises” diseases, diabetes, gall stones, hypertension, insomnia, peptic ulcers, tumours and just about anything. This is only a partial list of conditions that I complied from several books, tapes and a video that I used in writing my

ROOTS AND FRUITS OF FASTING book.

TEN REASONS TO AVOID AN ACID pH

The Specific Harm Caused By An Acid pH:

1. Corrodes arteries, veins and heart tissue

2. Accelerates free-radical damage and aging

3. Causes weight gain, diabetes and obesity

4. Inhibits metabolism of stored energy reserves

5. Causes cholesterol plaque to form

6. Disrupts blood pressure

7. Disrupts critical lipid and fatty acid metabolism

8. Inhibits cellular regeneration and DNA-RNA Synthesis

9. Inhibits oxygen getting to the tissues

10. Inhibits life giving electrolyte activity

Do you want to become alive again?

Do you want to regenerate yourself?

Then alkalize. Alkalize. Alkalize. That is NOT a TROJAN HORSE.

And now we’re back to BarleyLife and AIM Corporation.

THE REST IS ENTIRELY UP TO YOU!!
