The term "pH" refers to "potencial of hydrogen" which measure of the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration and also a measure of acidity or alkalinity.
The Ph scale ranges from 0 to 7 (acidic) 7 is (neutral) from 7 to 14 is alkaline. The pH scale is logarithmic, so achange of one pH unit indicates a tenfold shift in the concentration of hydrojen ions. For example: a pH of 6 is ten times more acidic than a pH of 7, and it is 100 times more acidic than a pH of 8. You can see how slight shift in pH can be quite significant.
In human body, pH is critical - especially in your blood. pH range considered to be normal for blood is between 7.30 and 7.45. Blood pH is a direct indicator of much oxygen is available for cells. Blood at a pH of 7.45 contains 65% more excess oxygen than blood 7.3. Lack of oxygen and resulting metabolic acidosis is a component of just about every disease we know.
Acccording to Dr. Otto Warburgs research cancer could not live in an oxygen-rich enviroment. His research has provided evidence that oxygen - starved cells switch to another mechanism for producing energy - one that doesn't require oxygen and one that is capable of surviving in an acidic enviroment. Most disease has linked with the lack of oxygen and the build -up of acidic wastes. Blood with a pH of 7.3 is also thinner than blood with a more acidic pH. Acid is partially responsible for blood clotting. A lowerblood pH means thicker blood that is more diffucult to pump. Both dehydration and low blood pH are now linked with high blood pressure.
