Cancer, acidosis and alkaline diet

Nonsense that comes to mind and see it implemented by an abnormal mass of Boccalon, always ready to believe if the stories served up meet the requirements of the theory of Shit Mountain or the Theory Information of Lies with berating Competence .

Take for example the picture above. It is accompanied by a text, the origin of which would seem to be this site , apparently speaking of obviousness most just like to have a balanced diet and doing physical activity, but actually quite accusatory to launch indirectly or less the usual accusations that naturopaths, vegan and supporters of alternative truth hurtle towards the scientific world.


Cancer, acidosis and alkaline diet

Obviously I could not help but note down the errors and contradictions, they do understand what the real intent of the ‘”article”, shared in case I found from (it will be a coincidence?), A group of supporters of a movement known political “astrological” headed by a supporter of bio wash balls but see also widespread in many other blogs. So I could not fail to speak my mind about it, seeing that the people, in good faith and with ingenuity, ends up share them (and when to do it are recorded maybe some people trust for simple ipse dixit .)



The initial part of the text , the one that sums up the “discovery” and the principles on which it is based, is as follows (bold and underlining mine, the rest later):

A news that is unbelievable: the leading cause of cancer was officially discovered decades ago (1923) by a scientist Nobel Prize for medicine in 1931.

And since then nothing has been done on the basis of this achievement, but to continue to collect money in the world for research, through associations such as the Italian, AIRC.
When the prime cause of cancer was already known.

Very few people in the world know this, because this fact is hidden by the pharmaceutical and food industries .
In 1931, the German scientist Otto Heinrich Warburg received the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the primary cause of cancer.

Exactly. He found the primary cause of cancer and won the Nobel Prize .
Otto has discovered that cancer is the result of a power anti-physiological and lifestyle anti-physiological.
Why?

Since both with a style anti-nutritional physiological (diet based on acidifying foods) and physical inactivity, the body creates an acidic environment (in the case of inactivity to poor oxygenation of the cells).
L ‘ cellular acidosis due to the expulsion oxygen. The lack of oxygen in the cells creates an acidic environment.

He said: “The lack of oxygen and acidity are two sides of the same coin: If a person has one, the other also.”
That is, if a person has excess acidity, then automatically will lack of oxygen in his system.If there is no oxygen, you’ll acidity in your body.

He also said: “Acidic substances repel oxygen, unlike the alkaline that attract oxygen.”
That is, an acidic environment is an environment without oxygen.

He said: “Depriving a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours, you can convert it into a cancer. “
“All normal cells have the absolute need for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without it.” (A rule with no exceptions).

“the cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline.”
In his work “The metabolism of tumors”, Otto showed that all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis blood (acid) and hypoxia (lack of oxygen).

He discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and can not survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen.

Cancer cells can only survive with glucose and in an environment free of oxygen.
Consequently, cancer is nothing more than a defense mechanism that some cells of the body to survive in an acidic environment and deprived of oxygen. HIGHLIGHTS:

Healthy cells live in an oxygenated and alkaline environment that allows normal operation .The tumor cells live in an acid environment and oxygen deficient.

Oh, the cause of cancer has been known for some time, yet the drug companies we march on.
accidental! What an insult to the poor people! We absolutely have to share and inform so that this shocking truth is not covered up by the usual powerful!

But things are about just exactly so?

Let’s analyze a bit ‘the content of the text and to refer to our present knowledge of biochemistry, physiology and oncology to come a little’ head. In the next lines I will try to be as easy and informative as possible, to not be too difficult to “non-experts”, so by referring to external links for those who wish to learn more specific issues that will save (in this regard, again convenience I have included references to the more immediate Italian Wikipedia where possible, but I always suggest moving on to more detailed and accurate English version).

To make the discussion more pleasurable also, in the manner of Lucretius which added honey to medicines, as usual I added illustrative images to make it more enjoyable to read.

Begin already initial affirmation that is a bit ‘inaccurate. Just do a quick consultation on Wikipediato find out already that War-burg to be strict he received the Nobel Prize for “having discovered the primary cause of cancer,” but for having discovered how they were acting enzymes of cellular respiration inside the cancer cells.

In them, the mechanism of anaerobic glycolysis , with which the glucose molecule is cleaved into two molecules of pyruvate (which normally will then in the so called the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation to produce aerobic energy), is altered and enormously accelerated and followed by a significant fermentation of lactic acid within the cytoplasm, rather than by the normal oxidation of pyruvate; what has been defined as the so-called Warburg effect .

These things are contained in any academic text, therefore it is enough to note rammaricante the umpteenth accusation to the usual large lobbies that would all still in the dark.

Nowadays we know that this is not a cause but a consequence of the tumor, due to the uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells that lead then, in a nutshell, a lack of oxygen, resulting in acceleration of glycolysis and forced recourse to lactic fermentation, which leads as in a chain reaction to a lowering of the intracellular pH, which becomes acid.

This is a result of acidification, ultimately, of cancer cells, not blood acidosis, therefore you can not even define it as the stimulus to a “defense mechanism”, being a posteriori. It would be like saying that the industrialization of the wild is a defense mechanism against the discharge of raw sewage into rivers.

Anyway, it was not for the discovery of the “cause” of cancer that Warburg received the Nobel Prize, but for those on respiratory enzymes and says the same institute Nobel. The people facebookkaro, who discovered the existence of Warburg shares only after the first, should be more careful in transposing information.

Rather, the scientist suggested that apart from the main mechanism in the formation of a tumor consisted precisely in this modification of the metabolism, possibly due to damage to the mitochondria. That he had discovered the prime cause of cancer is a formulation of arbitrary who drew up this chain of S. Antonio, with the clear intention of spreading a point of view a wee bit controversial to the medicine .

That did not stop at all to collect money from the people, but, together with molecular biology, genomics, pathology and cytology has made ​​great strides in understanding what is behind the cancer, why and what can be done to fight it.

Details of carcinogenesis describe the onset of a tumor from an alteration of the mechanisms of control of cell division , the cell differentiation , the cell death and DNA transcription . The underlying causes of cancer are so articulated that just does not make sense to speak of a single “primary cause”, because in reality there are often multiple agents in synergy.

One of the transcription factors best known is the infamous P53 protein , that in the discussions of three-year degree is chosen almost every session, although much is known about the complottismi biomedical studies. A mutation in the genes that regulate the production of this protein triggers a series of unpleasant consequences.

AIRC The site has a section with all the information exposed in a simple and clear on what is cancer.

We also pass directly to the quotes as their own Warburg. By doing a quick search on Google and superficial, the only sources that I find in this regard are the same text, so very little reliable.Having no desire to be to sift through articles to find something in English, unless some kind soul overs any original source, and we need to analyze directly the content of some of them, because, as usual, been distorted by those who has disseminated the information:

“The lack of oxygen and acidity are two sides of the same coin: If a person has one, the other also.”
“Acidic substances repel oxygen, unlike the alkaline that attract oxygen.”

Almost certainly it comes to sentences extracted from a context and therefore should be interpreted, going to take a different shade of meaning in intent Warburg. The first, for example, would refer to the above-mentioned speech of the chain reaction, the same text says that the lack of oxygen due to an acid environment. The second would not make sense if taken literally.

But put in the text so that they do not spread misconceptions in readers, which then interpret them in their own way (or perhaps with a trend suggested by the text and the environments that they publish it) going to develop misleading considerations, such as those that we will see later.Before turning to these, however, we summarize well what are fatty, to get a better idea of the object of discourse.

Indeed, in 700, just discovered, it was believed that oxygen was the substance constituent acids (the name oxys + genos does this mean for the note), but water has passed under the bridge and it turned out that things One moment they are different.

Anyone with a good basic chemistry will notice very well that these sentences, so naked and raw sockets (and maybe a parrot cited by some profane but does not know what he’s talking about) do not correspond to the definitions of acid or of base (alkali).

In the definition used more academically, that formulated by Brønsted and Lowry, an acid is a substance capable of donating one ion H + (dell ‘ hydrogen ) to another chemical species, while conversely a base is a substance capable of accepting it. In more technical definition of Lewis , an acid is a substance that can accept a pair of electrons, a base capable of receiving them.

In all this is not about a beloved club that an acid “rejects the oxygen.” At best, if you really could have been talking of hydrogen, with a little ‘of approximation (and also infers that it is not an absolute condition but may vary, the same substance can lead to acid under certain conditions and as a basis for others) .
Fundamental is the measurement of the pH to obtain an assessment of the acidity of a compound, in this case the interior of a cell.

course as soon as said does not mean that the oxygen can not be find in some point of the speech. But within the body, the ‘ balance between an alkaline and an acidic condition (cells, organs, blood) is even more complicated than it might seem from the text, the role of oxygen is more refined and involves various mechanisms of feedback and control, such as the ‘ Bohr effect . For this Warburg certainly, if they read the text that presumes to bring it back, would find it gross.

Let’s move on to another sentence to be reviewed: “The tumor tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline.” When the Warburg said it exactly like that, surely meant that healthy tissues are relatively alkaline than cancer, or at least slightly alkaline.

Put that way, the phrase would suggest that the problem is just the acidity, basicity does not have a healthy tissue might very well have a pH of any value greater than 7 as alkaline, the basicity healthy condition would be opposed to the acidity that is negative and its tumors.

should deduce what? Of course not: in addition to acidosis cited in the text, there is also the reverse condition called alkalosis , in which precisely the pH rises too much, resulting in damage in its own way.
Indeed the problem in a lowering of the pH is not the acidity per se but the variation of the same, which must be located within a precise range (blood 7:35 Yet the original site shows a totally wrong:

You can see very well, according to this image on the site (that will remove not after I reported it) a pH greater than 8, 10 or even 14, is equivalent to “health” for them. It would mean that taking caustic soda would do well, always relying on it. Let us realize that their ideas are spread and then the Boccalon believe it. They can do damage, if you think that everyone has the right to express their opinion. But democracy does not mean freedom to shoot all the crap you want.

Our organism is a sophisticated machine capable of maintaining (less than swallow very strong acids or bases such as hydrochloric acid or caustic soda) this stable equilibrium, via the buffer systems such as those cited above in acid-base. It is so delicate control mechanisms as effective and efficient, if there were, it would suffice for very little could no longer live.

Later on I added a link that shows even more cristallinamente how these control mechanisms make inaccurate content on this text, but there arriveremo.Abbiamo then established that the acidity is not the problem as such, but the variation of pH, therefore also an alkaline condition could very well be harmful.

Because we had to specify this, if before we were talking about the causes of cancer? Continue reading the text:

IMPORTANT: Once the digestive process, the food, depending on the quality of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals, provide and create a condition of acidity or alkalinity in the body. In other words … everything depends solely on what you eat.

acidifying or alkalizing The result is measured with a scale called the pH, which can range from 0 to 14, with a value of 7 corresponds to a neutral pH. ’s important to know how to acidic foods and alkali affect health, since the cells .. to function properly should be of a slightly alkaline pH (little above 7).
In a healthy person, the blood pH is between 7.4 and 7.45.
If the blood pH of a person is below 7, goes into a coma.

* List of acidifying foods *

[see below] The blood ‘adjusts’ constantly to avoid falling into metabolic acidosis, ensuring the proper functioning and optimize cellular metabolism. The body has to get the basics dietary minerals to neutralize the acidity of the blood in metabolism, but all the foods mentioned above (mostly refined) acidify the blood and infect the body.

We must reckon with the modern way of life, these foods are consumed at least 3 times a day, 365 days a year and all of these foods are anti-physiological.

That’s why I open a parenthesis on the chemistry and the definition of acid and base. This part of the text is in fact misleading and biased, fearing only the harmful effects due to acidification of the blood. It is also reported that there is a mechanism for regulating the blood act to prevent acidification, and the foods that may acidify. But an excessive alkalization instead? There would also be a good functioning of cellular metabolism? There are no control systems to a pH rises too instead?

Probably whoever wrote the text if they have simply forgotten because he wanted to dwell on the links between an acid pH and cancer, but (unintentionally?) this focus between the lines suggests the ‘idea that acid = base = boh wrong and then you do not know perhaps that says it is OK since it attracts oxygen and that healthy cells are slightly alkaline and is opposed to the condition of cancer cells. Maybe that drinking un’alcalinissima ammonia to extreme does not have problems?

text seeks essentially to accuse acidosis and those foods that should “acidify” the body. Of course they can cause problems, but they are not the only causes of problems.

As we have seen above the point is not the acidity itself is the real problem, but the alteration of the acid-base balance. It does not take long to realize that it makes no sense to take it to an extreme with its tendency if you neglect the other, is an attitude with blinders and partial. If a condition is harmful alkalizing just to the excess, then you can not just support for the acidification and the argument falls from the text.
acidosis alkalosis as well as the conditions of imbalance are that need to be resolved not run into complications, implement some rhetoric using such a way to expose the issue leading to potentially erroneous conclusions if not at least incomplete.

We then see which foods are put to shame:

FOODS THAT acidify the BODY:

* Refined sugar and all its by-products. ( It’s the worst of all : it has no protein, no fat, vitamins or minerals, only refined carbohydrates that crush the pancreas). Its pH is 2.1 (very acidic)
* Meat. (All types)
* Animal products (milk and cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.)
* Refined salt.
* refined flour and all its derivatives. (Pasta, cakes, cookies, etc.)
* Bread. (Most contain saturated fats, margarine, salt, sugar and preservatives)
* Margarine.
* Caffeine. (Coffee, black tea, chocolate)
* Alcohol.
* Tobacco.
* Antibiotics and medicine in general .
* Any food cooked . (Cooking eliminates oxygen by increasing the acidity of ‘food’)
* All processed foods, canned, contain preservatives, colorings, flavorings, stabilizers, etc..
THE alkalizing foods:
* All raw vegetables. (Some are sour to the taste, but a reaction takes place inside the body is alkalizing. “. Others are a bit acidic, however, provide the necessary basis for the correct balance). Raw vegetables produce oxygen, not cooked ones.
* The Fruits, same thing. For example, the lemon has a pH of about 2.2, however, within the body has a highly alkaline. (Probably the most powerful of all – do not be fooled by the sour taste) * The fruits produce enough oxygen.
* Some seeds, such as almonds are strongly alkaline.
* Whole grains: the only cereal alkalizing is the mile. All others are slightly acidic, however, since the ideal diet needs a percentage of acidity, is well consume someone. All cereals should be eaten cooked.
* Honey is highly alkalizing.
* Chlorophyll: the plants are highly alkaline. (In particular, aloe vera, also known as aloe)
* The water is important for the production of oxygen. ”The chronic dehydration is the main tension of the body and the root of most all degenerative diseases.” Lo says Dr. Batmanghelidj Feydoon.
* Exercise oxygenates the whole body. ”A sedentary lifestyle wear the body.”

Yes, the ultimate goal was also covertly supporting the cause of veganism and naturopatismo, more openly than the alternative therapy of alkalizing diet (which, however, is viewed with doubtby nutritionists), going to discredit and processed foods of animal origin, as well as taking medication.

appearance Healthy Despite these recommendations, with the right directions as the avoidance of smoking, alcohol or lead (eventually) a healthy physical activity, we see that in reality the end of it all is to point the index to the flesh (“all kinds” are not spared), preserved foods, carbohydrates (and for the record the pH value is invented), even any cooked food (cooking, however, is a very important practice to make Edible many foods, even a range of vegetables and vegetables would be toxic if they were not cooked like potatoes or beans), as well as the “medicine in general.”

ahiloro, it is thanks to medicine, the use of fire for cooking, farming and the availability of carbohydrates in abundance with agriculture if they can afford nowadays to live in prosperity, in the comfort of your own home with a life expectancy of 80 years, without having to deal with the hunger and disease that were faced in prehistoric times when everything was not available.

By contrast, in practice one should eat only raw vegetables, fruits are good because they “produce enough oxygen” (and not for the contents of sugars, minerals, vitamins and so on) as well as water (not for others).
Surely this text will be heralded by all those who have filled the head of nonsense on the foods of animal origin, or from all those who see the evil behind the drug companies and the medical profession, and for which it would need a series of articles in the to discuss their positions.

Stimabilissima instead the final sentence: A sedentary lifestyle wear the body. It would have to print and hang in all the health centers, doctors’ offices, schools, gyms and more. But physical activity also involves a temporary acidification of muscle tissue, the text then contradicts himself again in his thesis disjointed and inaccurate.

It is then mentioned that Dr. Fereydoon Batmanghelidj , which holds that the cause of all disease is dehydration and that drinking water is the cure for a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, depression, stroke, leukemia and drug addiction. Not just someone who can give credibility and authority with its consideration, in fact.

But I understand that those unfamiliar with these diseases and how the human body works, nor has the desire to study and deepen their knowledge (for this reason rely blindly to the dispenser or seller of truth on duty) may be amazed by all these big words collected in bulk and think “ommioddio, but it will be true? how many things you find! that infamous system. “

It would take at this point the image of Picard and Riker that you put your hands on the front but I think it is more profitable to maintain the style of the other “illustrative images.”

Prefer not to elaborate further on the theories about the alkaline diet, as has already thought Medbunker to explain fully and completely because it is a hoax beautiful and good.

It should be noted, however, that between the lines something right can filter: it recommends greater attention to what is assumed and is not recommended harmful habits such as those already known. Too bad the overall meaning of the speech actually is not that.

Fortunately, the text tries to recover by saying vaguely that in any case a minimum of food, “acidifier” servant, remembering the paradoxical alkalizing properties of lemon juice (and analyzing biochemical link before you can guess why) and then stating:

The ideal is to have a supply of about 60% alkaline rather than acidic, and, of course, avoid the products most acids, such as soft drinks, refined sugar and sweeteners.
Do not abuse the salt or avoid it as much as possible.

For those who are sick, the ideal is that the power is about 80% alkaline, eliminating all harmful products.
This is a phrase moderate and justly balanced, that may very well be shared on a site of health, nutrition, or wellness medicine. It refers merely to avoid excesses and abuses of compounds especially refined, and maintain a general balance. These are the magic words: balance, excess, abuse . Do not eat meat or take products of the flour to hurt, is their abuse.

Significantly, even the almost exclusively eat only raw vegetables and fruits would not be healthy for your health, this is shamefully forgotten by health conscious “alternative.” Anyone who knows me knows how I feel on certain food fads such as veganism, not long ago, I also posted a mildpost about it and maybe come back to talk about it in the future.

But then all these turns of phrase in the text and these nonsense just to reiterate such an obvious fact?
Meanwhile, continue reading:

If you have cancer is to alkalize the board as much as possible. “
Dr. George W. Crile, of Cleveland, one of the most respected surgeons in the world, openly declares: “All natural deaths calls are nothing more than the end point of a saturation of acidity in the body.”

As previously mentioned, it is quite impossible, for cancer , appear in a person who frees the body from acids with an alkaline diet, which increases the consumption of pure water and to avoid the foods that produce acid.

Generally, cancer is not contracted nor is inherited. What is inherited are dietary habits, environmental and lifestyle. This can result in cancer.

Mencken wrote: “The struggle of life is against the retention of acid.” ”Aging, lack of energy, stress, headache, heart disease, allergies, eczema, urticaria, asthma, kidney stones, atherosclerosis, among others, are nothing more than the accumulation of acids.”

Dr. Theodore A. Baroody wrote in his book “Alkalize or die” (Alkaline or Die):
“In fact, no matter the names of many diseases, what matters is that they all come from the same root cause: a lot of acid waste in the body,”

Dr . Robert O. Young said:

“The over-acidification of the body is the cause of all degenerative diseases. If it happens a disturbance of the balance and a body starts to produce and store more acidity and toxic waste of those that is able to eliminate, then diseases occur. “

This passage is from his hair. Given the previous result I started to look for the original sources of the quoted sentences, but we admit are true.

fly over the disconcerting lightness of Crile, I do not think has been able to reconnect to acidosis all his surgery or a simple old man died of old age .

On the causes of cancer I have already mentioned before, so it’s pointless repetition; however, I consider it significant to remember that even people who lead a healthy lifestyle and rigorous, as a sportsman, can contract cancer. A recent example is Abidal .

If it were true that cancer does not contract, because it is only a matter of power, then it would mean that those who had been found in the core of the Chernobyl accident would not have to fear anything, would have been enough drinking plenty of water and eat lots of raw vegetables, not would have risked lymphomas. This is an insult to those who suffered, who lost and who currently still fighting cancer.

Mencken was a journalist , not a doctor, unless it is a namesake. Again, I doubt that you would have with an alkaline diet eternal youth or it will avoid the calculations while drinking salt water and not urinating ever.
Baroody’s phrase, in turn, it is offensive to all those who have contracted debilitating infections, compromising or death.

Let ‘s go on repeating to those who have suffered from diseases such as smallpox or polio, and who has pledged to fight them with vaccines (and yet, there is also the alternative between “health-conscious” and “naturalists” even those who claim to be ineffective if not harmful for some conspiracy on the part of pharmaceutical companies).

The same goes for Young. ’re Both supporters of alternative medicine that have received the reserves, but this is not the article to talk about them (maybe it will MedBunker sooner or later will have desire and time).

AND CHEMOTHERAPY? Chemotherapy acidifies the body to such an extent that the body uses the alkaline reserves to neutralize the acidity, sacrificing bases minerals (calcium, magnesium and potassium) deposited in the bones, teeth, joints, nails and hair.For this reason we observe these alterations in people who receive this treatment and, among other things, the hair fall.

For the body does not mean anything to be without hair, but an acidic pH would mean death. None of this is described or told because, for all indications, the cancer industry (read: pharmaceutical industry) and chemotherapy are some of the most profitable .. that there is talk of a round multi-millionaire and the owners of these industries do not want this to be published. Everything indicates that the pharmaceutical industry and the food industry are one entity and that there is a conspiracy in which you help the other to profit.

More people are sick, the higher the profits of the pharmaceutical industry. And to have a lot of sick people need a lot of junk food, as much as it produces the food industry. How many of us have heard the news of someone who has cancer and someone say, “… It could happen to anyone …” No, he could not!

“Let your food be your medicine, medicine be your food.” (Hippocrates, the father of medicine)

The usual rhetorical games on pharmaceutical companies sponsorizzerebbero malignant cancer from the Tower of Mordor for making money with chemo. This step contains errors, but for more details, I refer you to pages on cancer chemotherapy and anti-blastic toxicity .

I think we can end it here, since it is a speech that was analyzed in the length and breadth everywhere.

Of course, should take the opportunity to remind you that a balanced diet, you do not abuse of certain foods, as well as a healthy physical practice and prevent harmful vices to the body, are very important to keep your body healthy and to prevent many stress conditions physiological or disease.

A healthy lifestyle, which aim at the most and look for the well-being, both physical and mental and psychological (feel good about yourself helps A LOT) is a laudable and important goal to be achieved.

This, between the lines of the text, I share in the thinking of those who wrote this “article” that the rest is very little scientific and highly questionable (not to use harsh words).

Now let’s see if some vegan or med-conspiracy is to insult as they are wont to do, since I was not explicit but we understand that my opinion of them is very negative.
