It doesn't happen often enough, but when it does, it feels good. I'm talking about those moments when everything you read, everything you see, coalesces and supports your primary direction.
You know it. We've all had it. It's as if the universe is supporting you.
This article here is just one of them. It deals with a new report on the acidification of the oceans due to excess carbon dioxide, which, you may suggest, has little to do with acid/alkaline balance. But I believe it does. It reflects the immutable laws of balance in the world and in each of our bodies. Upset the balance and you begin to see the calamitous nature of your actions. Whole oceans die, and in us, a similar upset of our acid-alkaline balance has similar long and short term effects. But I experience far more. Sure, the big 'C" is the most obvious effect of excess acids, but now we learn that diabetes may be caused by excess free radicals, which are, as we know, a result of excessively acidic lifestyle.
And then we have immunity and toxins. Excessive acidity lowers immunity; that's common knowledge, but lower immunity fails us as toxin levels rise - and toxin levels in our bodies are always rising as we live the acidic lifestyle. So we age because we become more toxic, we lose immunity as we age and become more acidic, and the two factors together can now begin to be seen in lower lifespans in the UK for the first time this century. (My apologies, Poms, but well... you do have a bit of a reputation) Toxicity + free radicals + inflammation + lower immunity... I'm amazed some people can get out of bed in the morning!
But the good news is that we can rebalance. The science is clear; more alkalizing greens and water, less acidifying foods... the only reason most people can really give for not becoming more alkaline is that they are happy with the limited form of life they live.
And they call us an advanced civilisation. Oh Boy.
