Dear Customers and Friends,

After we went to the Health Expo in Sydney we realised that many practitioner still did not know exactly how to use the Ionic Metal Test...and WHY they really should test all of their patients for ionic metals.

Something similar seems to be true for the pH test of saliva and urine.

Hence we decided to organise a lot more workshops and seminars. There we will demonstrate the tests and the 'remedial' measures with you and show you how to properly conduct these tests as well as discuss all the aspects connected with pH and ionic transition metals.

Please register your interest with Linda or Jodie at the Picton Office.

Kind regards,

Hans

The New Alkalizer

 

Why did we change the formulation of the Alkalizer ? We simply wanted to improve the formulation after making further and new insights.

As always….nature, life, health and happiness and so on…depend upon balance and harmony. What we realised was that two of the most important minerals (metals) for the health of the individual cell (and hence of the entire human body) are sodium and potassium.

They for the ‘sodium/potassium pump’ acting across the cell membrane. Both metals are very important to ensure the proper electric charge of the cell. If that charge drops, neither nutrients can get into the cell nor can waste leave the cell.

Both potassium and sodium are important for the proper ‘water levels’ in cells and body.

In principle sodium retains water and potassium expels water.

Because of water retention, the resultant ‘water pressure’ can increase blood pressure.

Because potassium expels water, the resultant reduction in pressure can also lower blood pressure.

The body needs mainly three ‘electrolytes’….chloride, potassium and sodium. Without these elements which conduct electricity, the body could not function at all.

 

Because of the above we decided to replace some of the sodium bicarbonate in our alkalizing mixture with potassium bicarbonate and feel that in this way we are providing a much more balanced product.

 

The alkalisation will still be the same as can be established by means of the pH strips.

Once again we would like to make you aware of the importance of alkalisation to establish proper pH balance and the large number of articles available.

 

In the following I will refer especially to one scientific paper and cite some excerpts from it:

 

Determinants of blood pH in health and disease
John A Kellum
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,USA

 

An advanced understanding of acid–base physiology is as central to the practice of critical care medicine, as are an understanding of cardiac and pulmonary physiology. Intensivists spend much of their time managing problems related to fluids, electrolytes, and blood pH. Recent advances in the understanding of acid–base physiology have occurred as the result of the application of basic physical-chemical principles of aqueous solutions to blood plasma……

 

…… Acid–base regulation is one of these 'areas' of medicine that crosses organ-specific boundaries, and the intensive care unit is often the place where severe derangements in this area exist. For these reasons, intensivists, and others called upon to care for critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, operating room, or emergency department, are expected to diagnose and manage complicated disorders of acid–base balance. This review provides a rather in-depth examination of chemistry and physiology of acid–base balance in health and disease.

The concentration of H⁺ in blood plasma and various other body solutions is among the most tightly regulated variables in human physiology. (Most of the principles discussed in this review are applicable to animal physiology as well. A complete discussion of the differences between species, however, particularly aquatic versus terrestrial species, is beyond the scope of the present review.) Acute changes in blood pH induce powerful regulatory effects at the level of the cell, organ, and organism [1]. The mechanisms responsible for local, regional, and systemic acid–base balance are incompletely understood though, and controversy exists in the literature as to what methods should be used to understand these mechanisms [2]. Much of this controversy exists only because the strict rules for causation (as opposed to correlation) have not often been applied to the understanding of acid–base balance, and methods that are useful clinically have often been used to understand physiology without being subjected to appropriate scientific rigor. The use of various laboratory variables to diagnose an acid–base disorder is analogous to the use of the electrocardiogram to diagnose a myocardial infarction. However, neither the changes in the electrocardiogram tracing nor the disturbances in electrical conduction that these changes reflect were ever considered to be the cause of a myocardial infarction. In contrast, changes in HCO₃^- (bicarbonate)concentration, for example, have been assumed to be responsible for metabolic acidosis or alkalosis. Failure to establish causation has lead to numerous incorrect notions of acid–base physiology and has fueled years of, often heated, debate [2,3,4]. This review analyzes what is known about the causal relationships between acid–base variables and acid–base balance in health and disease.
