Can PATHS Help With PH Balance?

[Kevin]

Any news yet? I'm planning on starting mine soon, but was thinking about using a less stringent method. Thanks! Oh, yeah, no need for any graphic images...

Ok, here is a picture....



























Gotcha!

No pics.

I got in all the supplies for the flush. Turns out I am going to do the bowel cleansing, then the kidney cleanse, then the parasite treatment, then finally after doing all those, I will be doing the Liver/Gall Bladder flush.

It is sort of an involved process, so I have put it on hold until I return from my trip to Illinois the middle of June. That way I will have 4 weeks uninterrupted by any out of town trips to go through all the steps in the process.

Wow, that's impressive (not the pic, the plan). I'm pretty much ready to start mine now. I think I'm going to wait until Wednesday to start with the apple juice and phosphoric acid drops and then dive in over next weekend. I'll let you know what to expect.
Thanks,
Bill

It is quite the undertaking...then when it gets to the flush, I basically have to have two days set aside to do pretty much nothing.

Looking forward to your report.

I have a friend that did the whole program about 6 months ago and she was quite pleased with the results.

Jessica,
I read about the Quantum K healing site in another thread on here and have been watching the video since. I also read the manual. The manual says that it is possible to change our PH to more alkaline by breathing through our left nostril for a few minutes a couple of times a day. I don't know whether it is true or not as I don't test myself, but I thought you might like to add it to your regimen to see if it helps.

I could do that...do you know what the reasoning behind that is?

I could do that...do you know what the reasoning behind that is?

Here's what he says about it:
"We can survive for weeks without food, days without water, but only minutes without air. Our molecules are made up of minerals based on hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen, supported by water. These base elements all come from the air, so how can air quality be anything other than essential to our health? Most eastern practices, like yoga, have recognised this basic truth for thousands of years.

The issue nowadays is that the air has become highly polluted with toxic chemicals. We work in climate controlled offices, drive polluting cars and keep the windows shut to keep the heat in. Even in the great outdoors the air has too much nitrogen in it for our bodies to remain in balance. The net result is an excess of positive ions in the air - the kind that make us feel uncomfortable prior to a thunderstorm when the air feels so ‘heavy’. Instead of the natural balance of 60% negative ions and 40% positive, the ratio is often reversed. This positive air creates an acidic environment in our bodies which leads to a lack of oxygen around the cells and eventually chronic ill health. The situation is aggravated by any mercury fillings as they positively ionise our saliva as it passes over.

So, we all need more negative ions, the kind that give us that lovely refreshing feeling by the seaside or after a shower. The good news is that negative ions are FREE. You don’t need an expensive ionizing machine, simply take advantage of a simple breathing technique based on the yoga practice of ‘pranayama’. The difference here is that we are not looking to balance our breathing, but to create an artificially high level of negative ions in our system. Simply block your right nostril and breathe rapidly 30-40 times in and out through your left, as fast as you wish. Do this 3 times a day, EVERY DAY. Find a routine - at red lights, in traffic jams, when you wake up, when you watch T.V. Whatever suits you, but please do it. This is very energising and will restore the natural alkalinity of your blood. Just be careful not to make yourself light-headed, practice in a safe environment first and find the pace of breathing that works for you."

After almost a year of meditation and many other techniques aimed at raising my consciousness, I feel as though watching his video at Quantum K has had more affect than anything else I've done. Of course, I've still been doing many other things, so it's hard to tell if the video is totally responsible for what I've felt. My wife watched it once and said she didn't feel anything, but she doesn't do much in the way of spiritual work. His companion PDF manual is also provided free on the site. I like people who provide potential growth material for free. They rock! And you know you're not getting burned.

Thanks for that excerpt. VERY INTERESTING.

I am wondering why air through the left nostril will result in more negative ions....not doubting it...just wondering how/why?

In any case, interesting info. I have used negative ion generators, and we get lots of lightening storms around here, so I am familiar with what it smells/feels like. Gonna give it a try.

[Kevin]

Just did my first 40! It is a bit surprising how long it takes to take 40 breaths.

Will do it twice more throughout today.

I know when they talk about the ida and pingala aspects of the sushumna (sp?), the energetic column of energy that flows from the root chakra out through the crown, they refer to them as positive/negative or male/female and one of the exercises that I've read about is breathing in through one nostril, then out through the other. He kind of refers to it in the excerpt as pranayama. The idea behind this exercise is to balance the energy flow between positive and negative (ida/pingala). That's what popped into my head when I read your question. Not really sure if it's an answer or not, though. It probably wouldn't hurt to do some alternating breaths occasionally. I do it as a prelude to meditation as I find it hard to meditate fully while putting so much focus on breathing and nostril blocking, although I think I did almost doze off once.
I was also surprised how long it takes for 30-40 breaths. I lost count because I was interrupted, but continued on until I felt I must have reached 30-40. It's funny how my mind recorded his instruction as "breath through your left nostril a couple of times a day for a few minutes". He was definitely more specific than that.

Yes I have read elsewhere that breathing affects pH. Also that thoughts do and that mild exercise alkalizes, while excessive exercise creates acid results (like when you feel burning muscles).

Imo that breathing is fine but most of us probably need to do more than that to really bring our pH into the balance it should be compared to how it would tend to get given the environments most of us live in. (That was really run-on, lol.)


Kevin,

I have come to look at cleansing a little different. I now don't think there are such things as "bad" buggies in us. For example, I imagine that if we have displaced calcium in us, we may attract "parasites" that would eat that calcium.

That is actually probably helpful to us (because displaced calcium becomes kidney stones, artery plaque, bone spurs, etc.) but since that buggie is associated with a bad condition, it is considered "bad." I think it's more of an indicator of a bad condition though.

It's not that pH is the only factor in health, it's imo just one that is usually overlooked by main stream medicine and one that is incredibly important.

For example, if someone had perfect pH but wasn't sanitary, or didn't get enough of a certain nutrient, they would not be healthy.

But main stream already tells us to be sanitary, get proper nutrition, etc.

They tend to miss the important issue of pH unless things go so haywire someone gets what they call Renal Tubular Acidosis. Then they treat it with sodium bicarbonate.

On the sb label, it also says it is used to treat metabolic acidosis. But most people have that, but I don't see hardly any doctors who address it. Imo it's bc the pharmaceutical companies fund the medical research and they will lose a ton if people realize how to treat themselves for the most part.

The missing attention to pH also imo explains why there always seems to be a new study out about how such and such (usually something natural) may ward off cancer or whatever the claim is. It is always something new bc many many things which are healthy alkalize. If the researchers focused on pH, I believe they would be able to be more specific with such studies.

Looking forward to your report.

Okay, I ended up wimping out a little. I did the apple juice & phosphoric acid for three days. No biggie there. Saturday was supposed to be the big flush. I forgot there was a timeline and ended up eating dinner, thinking I would do the flush a couple hours later. I saw I wasn't supposed to eat after 2 pm and that certain nausea would ensue if I carried on. I decided to go lightweight until I could do the kidney/bowel flush and parasite cleanse. Sooo, Saturday night I did two tablespoons of olive oil, juice from two limes, and two egg yolks. Same again yesterday morning and this morning I changed to three tablespoons and grapefruit juice. I plan on continuing with the smaller quantity of oil, lemon, lime, or grapefruit juice, and two egg yolks for at least a week. This combo isn't too bad. Certainly not delicious as it was purported to be, but platable. This morning is the only day I had a couple of oily tasting burps. Started to see some stones come out today as well. Hoping to do the coffee enema tonight and again in a few days.

I was thinking about the length of time to do the one nostril breathing exercise yesterday and came to the conclusion that shorter breaths (I've only been doing complete breaths before) may work just as well and take less time. Sure enough, one set could be completed at a long light without hyperventilating.

ImBill,

Thanks for the update.

I am going on a trip this coming weekend...when I return I will begin my cleanse then flush!

For many people, heartburn is actually from not enough hydrochloric acid production and not too much. If not enough, the food isn't able to break down properly and will cause virtually the same heartburn type symptoms as too much production.

There is a simple test anyone can do. You can get a bottle of hcl tablets or capsules and at the same time every day...take 1 with a meal...keep to the same meal...dinner or whatever. If there is a burning sensation from 1 tab/cap then the problem is NOT lack of acid...the 1 tab/cap caused too much and that is why there is burning.

If no burning, the next day at the same meal time, take 2 tab/caps. Keep boosting 1 cap at the same meal every time.

For example, if it takes 5 caps/tabs until there is a burning sensation, that means there is a serious lack of hcl production in the stomach.

In this case, taking an antacid/baking soda, etc... will simply neutralize the little bit of acid that is there causing even more problems.

I would recommend not just trying this based on what I mentioned above on this simple hcl test, search around online and see what you can find for different regimens on testing for hcl. Many people are surprised to find that over a long time of taking antacids...the real problem was from a lack of production.

Anyway, just a distinction that might help someone out.

I was just reading something that details the interaction of hcl and sodium bicarbonate.

There is no hydrochloric acid pouch in our body. If there were, it would burn a hole in our body. The cells in our stomach wall must produce it on an instantly-as-needed basis. The ingredients in the stomach cell that make hydrochloric acid (HCI) are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sodium chloride (NaCI) or potassium chloride (KCI).

NaCI + H2O + CO2 = HCI + NaHC03, or

As we can see, the by-product of making hydrochloric acid is sodium bicarbonate (NaHC03) or potassium bicarbonate (KHC03), which goes into blood stream. These bicarbonates are the alkaline buffers that neutralize excess acids in the blood; they dissolve solid acid wastes into liquid form. As they neutralize the solid acidic wastes, extra carbon dioxide is released, which is discharged through the lungs. As our body gets old, these alkaline buffers get low; this phenomenon is called acidosis. This is a natural occurrence as our body accumulates more acidic waste products. There is, therefore, a relationship between the aging process and the accumulation of acids.

By looking at the pH value of the stomach alone, it seems that alkaline water never reaches the body. But when you look at the whole body, there is a net gain of alkalinity as we drink alkaline water. Our body cells are slightly alkaline. In order for them to produce acid, they must also produce alkaline, and vice versa; just as a water ioniser cannot produce alkaline water without producing acid water, since tap water is almost neutral. When the stomach pH value gets higher than 4, the stomach knows what to do to lower it. However, if the pH value goes below 4, for any reason, the stomach doesn't know what to do. That's why we take Alka-Seltzer, which is alkaline, to relieve acidic stomach gas pain. In this case, hydrochloric acid is not produced by the stomach wall; therefore, no alkaline buffer is being added to the blood stream.

Interesting info Jessica. for posting it.

Tomorrow I start my Dr. Hulda flush program!

Hey, Kevin,
I was wondering if you had any guidelines for the parasite cleanse. On the sites I've visited, I don't see any information about the dosage or the length of time. Fortunately, the bottles of black walnut and wormwood extract have dosage info, but nothing for the cloves or how many days to take the stuff for. Any clue?
Thanks,
Bill
