Higher Healing has been discussing the effects of a balanced pH through the Habits of Health radio broadcast. CLICK TO LISTEN
If you have a health problem, most likely you are acidic. Research shows that unless the body's pH level is slightly alkaline, the body cannot heal itself. So, no matter what type of modality you choose to use to take care of your health problem, it won't be effective until the pH level is up. If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements. Your body pH affects everything.
Just as our body temperature must be maintained at 98.6 degrees and you feel sick or tired when your body' s temperature changes one degree in either direction, if the pH range of the blood deviates too far to the acid side, oxygen levels decrease and cellular metabolism slows or stops. Cells might die or get damaged and the body's immune system is compromised.
Diabetes (type 1)
Normally, the pancreas secretes the hormone insulin to keep blood glucose from becoming too high. Insulin signals cells to take glucose out of the blood and use it for energy or fat storage. In type 1 diabetes, the body's own immune system attacks the insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas and destroys them. Because the pancreas can no longer secrete significant amounts of insulin, insulin levels are low and blood sugar levels are high in type 1 diabetes.
Diabetes, by itself, does NOT affect the ph of blood..
Without insulin, the body cannot transfer sugar from the blood to the cells.Your cells start to starve.Thinking they are starving, your cells send out "starvation signals", telling your body that they are hungry.When this happens, your body tries to use protein (muscles) for food.
When your body digests proteins, it produced KETONES. Normally, these are filtered out by the kidneys. But when the body is using its own protein (muscle) the ketones are in too great an amount to be filtered out completely so ketones build up in your blood.
The KETONES can make your blood acidic, thus destroying the rest of your body.Your liver, kidney, heart, and brain is damaged by these ketones and the resulting "acidic blood".

Like acid eating into marble, acidosis erodes and eats into cell wall membranes of the heart, arteries and veins, weakening cardiovascular structures and inter connective
tissues. It disrupts Blood Pressure because with acidosis, (pH<7.20) arteries become dilated. Yet, severe lowering of blood pH also causes persistent venous vasoconstriction (a disease in the calibre of blood vessels). When this happens, peripheral blood is shifted more centrally: the more acidic the patient, the greater the fractional redistribution of blood to the central vessels. This central redistribution of blood adds to the heart's workload when its contractibility is compromised.
Alkaline smoothie Serves 2
Ingredient
A handful of Kale
A handful of Spinach
2 Broccoli heads
1 Tomato
A handful of Lettuce
1 Avocado
1 Cucumber
1/2 clove Garlic
Juice of 1/2 Lemon
A little water to the texture you like
Instructions
All you have to do is blend it all up! Start by blending the avocado, cucumber and lemon juice to form a mushy paste, then start adding the other ingredients.
You can blend in a little ice if you prefer it chilled, or add a little chilli if you like it HOT HOT HOT!
This will fill you up for hours.
OPTIONAL: if you find it all to veggie when you first start alkalizing, you can blend in a little fruit of your choice to sweeten it up or add some capsicum (pepper) for sweetness.
May the ETERNAL One Shine His Face Toward You Always!
