Wellness Coaching – The Benefits of an Alkaline Body
In the early 20th century, the German physician, Dr. Otto H. Warburg investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells, particularly cancer cells, and in 1931 was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his “discovery of the nature and mode of action of the respiratory enzyme.”
Dr. Warburg also wrote about oxygen’s relationship to the pH of cancer cells internal environment. Since fermentation was a major metabolic pathway of cancer cells, Dr. Warburg reported that cancer cells maintain a lower pH, as low as 6.0, due to lactic acid production and elevated CO2. He firmly believed that there was a direct relationship between pH and oxygen. Higher pH means higher concentration of oxygen molecules or alkalinity while lower pH means lower concentrations of oxygen or acidity.
In his work “The Metabolism of Tumours,” Dr. Warburg demonstrated that all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Dr. Warburg has made it clear that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency, which creates an acidic state in the human body. He also discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state.
The ideal pH level for the venous blood is 7.36 and if the body maintains this level, cancer cells simply cannot grow according to Dr. Leonard Coldwell, a holistic physician who is called by many authorities the world’s leading expert on cancer. Having cured his own mother from terminal liver cancer over 30 years ago, Dr. Coldwell believes that 86% of all cancer cases are caused from mental and emotional stress and that the remaining 14% is caused from toxic chemicals from the tap water such as chlorine and fluoride, heavy metals from vaccines and dental fillings such as mercury, and exposure to harmful radiation.
The body cures itself of cancer all the time. From birth, cancer cells are killed by the body’s natural immune system, over and over and over again until one day, it is not capable of doing it anymore (because of the aforementioned reasons) and that’s when cancer remains “unchecked” and develops into malignant tumors. And then the medical association calls this “getting cancer,” which is an inaccurate statement because we all “get cancer” all the time. If the body remains healthy, i.e. free of stress, toxins, and radiation, it will be easy to keep it in the proper pH alkaline state of 7.36 so that cancer cells cannot become tumors.
