Body Alkalizer (pH balance) Pack Optimum Health Barometer Degenerative Disease Preventative

The cells of a healthy body are alkaline at a pH between 7.1 and 7.3 (7.0 being neutral). Our enzymatic, immunologic, and repair mechanisms all function at their best in this alkaline environment. The cells of a diseased body are acidic. Cancer cells, for example, cannot survive in an alkaline environment.

The Secret of Life!

Maintaining proper pH balance is essential to good health and an overall disease free body. Osteoporosis and arthritis have been linked to over-acidity in the body. In fact, over-acidity, known as chronic acidosis, is likely a contributing factor in all degenerative diseases including cancer, heart disease, rheumatism, premature old age, kidney stones, and even tooth decay. The vast number of chemical reactions necessary for human life occur within a very narrow pH range - between 6.8 and 7.8. Unfortunately, most people worry more about the pH levels in their swimming pools and fish tanks than their own bodies!

Poor Nutrition can Destroy your Health

Toxic acids are formed as a normal by-product when the body burns nutrients in food to create energy. The Standard American Diet (SAD) exacerbates the situation since it leans heavily towards extremely acidic foods and avoids most of the alkaline forming foods. Most meats, milk products, refined carbohydrates, fish, breads, and cereals are acidic. Highly acidic foods (pH between 5.0 and 5.5) include beef, lamb, chicken, turkey, white flour, white rice, shellfish, alcohol, coffee, sugars, and especially soft drinks. A typical soft drink has a pH of 2.5 while a glass of plain water is slightly alkaline. It requires 32 glasses of water to neutralize just one 12 ounce soft drink! Most fruits and all vegetables are alkaline forming and contain highly alkaline enzymes such as pineapple, papaya, bananas, kiwifruit, melons, and apples. All leafy green and root vegetables are alkaline. Cruciferous vegetables such as kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels spouts are highly alkaline. (pH of 7.5 to 8.0). A healthy diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods. If this ratio is not consistently maintained, the body will strive to achieve homeostasis, or balance, by drawing upon its own reserves of alkaline minerals - such as calcium, magnesium, and manganese - from its own bone structure, teeth, and soft tissues.

The Optimum Health Barometer

The pH of saliva offers a window through which you can see the overall pH balance of the body. Titan Laboratories offers a simple and accurate test kit featuring a roll of special pH paper in plastic dispenser with color chart. Your health practitioner utilizes this test kit to monitor your health to assure you achieve and maintain the proper alkaline pH balance. Your practitioner will ask that you fill your mouth with saliva and then swallow it to help ensure that the saliva is clean. He will then place a test strip under your tongue for a second or two and compare the results with the color chart. The paper should turn blue, indicating a healthy pH of 7.1 to 7.4. Dark olive-green indicates the body is weakly acidic with a pH of 6.5 to 6.9. Light-olive indicates a pH of 6.0 to 6.4, reflecting the calcium deficiency of aging and lifestyle defects. Yellow indicates a pH of 4.5 to 5.0. Cancer patients are usually yellow, especially when terminal. If you tested below a pH of 7.0, and your diet leans heavily towards extremely acidic foods, you are a prime candidate for degenerative diseases.

The Painless Way to Alkalize

Titan's Body Alkalizer (pH balance) Pack offers an extremely effective and simple way to boost the body's alkalinity to a normal healthy state. The Pack consists of Factor Five: Osteo-X containing 60 tablets of the key alkaline minerals calcium, magnesium, manganese, and boron and Factor Seven: Digestin, which provides 60 capsules of the key alkaline enzymes and phytochemicals bromelain, papain, amylase, lipase, and banana powder.

Titan's Body Alkalizer Pack utilizes the Citrate form of calcium

A recent study published November 2000 in The Journal of Clinical Pharmacology documented that calcium citrate supplementation averts bone loss and stabilizes bone density in the spine, femoral neck and radial shaft in early postmenopausal women. Calcium citrate was also found to be more bio-available than calcium carbonate. Moreover, the study revealed that calcium citrate produced greater suppression of serum PTH by 50% over calcium carbonate. PTH, or parathyroid suppression, is critical in maintaining bone because PTH is responsible for age-related bone loss. Additional ingredients in the Body Alkalizer Pack include magnesium, manganese, copper, and Vitamins B-6 and D in the proper ratio necessary to support bone growth. Boron, a trace alkaline mineral, is included as it assist in the absorption of calcium and also appears to elevate levels of estrogen and testosterone.

Coral Calcium: Unsubstantiated Hype!

Coral is the ocean's memorial to the lives of deceased creatures called coelenterates. Located in tropical latitudes, the hard structures we know as coral are really the incremental build-ups of calcium carbonate deposited from the skeletal remains of these tiny creatures. Said to originate in Okinawa, coral calcium has become a hot new fad in the United States, available in supermarkets, drug and health food stores and over the internet - at a premium price. It is touted as a unique and superior calcium, nearly 100 percent absorbable, rich in trace minerals and associated with amazing longevity. According to Dr. Robert Heaney, a professor at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska and a leading expert on calcium, "Coral calcium is chemically identical to calcium carbonate - the stuff in Tums and other common calcium supplements." "The advertising claims I've seen for coral calcium are outlandish," states Dr. Heaney. "The idea that any calcium is 100 percent absorbed by the body is ridiculous. As for the trace minerals in coral calcium, analyses show such low concentrations as to be laughable." "If coral calcium is so superb," asks Dr. Heaney, "why do the people of Okinawa, who supposedly consume so much of it, have 50 to 70 percent higher rates of vertebral osteoporosis than Caucasians?" Bottom line: All the hype on coral calcium is simply a way to differentiate the product to justify a bigger profit.

The Choice is yours!

Do you prefer a toxic, acidic, and systemically diseased body, or an alkaline rich system which is vitally strong and capable of defending itself against common illnesses associated with an average lifestyle? Titan's Body Alkalizer Pack makes the choice easy.
