The entire health world is riveted on alkalinity but do they know the best way to that sweet spot of physiology where the pH of our tissues are in balance? Currently people depend on water ionizers and alkaline water as well as the best health foods to remain alkaline but all of these partially ignore the most important direct way of increasing alkalinity.

Because of this many people struggle endlessly to remain alkaline because they are not addressing the direct use of oxygen to release acid toxins and remove the lactic acid that is in abundance because of low oxygen conditions. With enough oxygen we can reset the cells to stop producing energy from glucose, which is the main source of acidity.

Until recently my focus has been how to quickly alkalise the body with sodium bicarbonate, which offers quick control over body pH. The secret to sodium bicarbonate is that it turns to carbon dioxide in the stomach, which secrets hydrochloric acid in response, driving bicarbonates into the blood stream. One way to increase oxygen delivery to the cells is by increasing bicarbonate and CO2 concentrations, which dilates the blood vessels ensuring more oxygen gets delivered to the cells.

The most important factor in creating proper pH is increasing oxygen. The Live Oxygen system ram-jets oxygen into the cells. High levels of oxygen does something to the capillaries and tissues that nothing else can do in its place. No matter what you eat and how alkaline your water is if oxygen is not getting in sufficient amount into the cells we will have anaerobic respiration and too much lactic acid. Anaerobic literally means living without oxygen, as opposed to aerobic.

Aerobic or oxygen burning cells get 38 ATP per glucose, which is like 38 miles per gallon – efficient and clean – and produce a nice supply of carbon dioxide. Anaerobic, or oxygen deprived cells, get 2 ATP per glucose, or 2 mile per gallon – run quick and dirty – and produce lactic acids. Why is the body so full of acidity? In reality it’s because the cells are not getting enough oxygen. Aerobic cells have about 19 times more energy to do work, run clean, and produce by products that control your body’s pH.

If your body’s pH is not correct, because of low oxygen conditions, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals, supplements, and food, and that is why even with a good diet it is hard to pull out of diseased conditions. Our body’s pH affects everything including oxygen transport and delivery to the cells.

Through time the best diets do increase oxygen and promote healing but if you want to bring the body quickly into a healing cycle the fastest way is through the front door that oxygen provides. When oxygen is delivered in high amounts during a fifteen minute exercise routine it acts like a battering ram at the cell wall gates. When the gates breaks open oxygen rushes in and firers up the mitochondria, inflammation, from the low oxygen conditions is reduced, and poisons are instantly released.
