Symptoms of Acidity

by Dennis Myers

The acidity, or the pH of the body, its fluids and cells, is the most important homeostatic or balancing act the body has to perform. The acidity of the blood has to remain exactly the same all the time. The fact that we are alkaline beings by design but acid generating beings by function makes this the most basic function the body has to perform, no pun intended, besides and including breathing and pumping one's blood around.

As we become more and more acid, accumulate and store more acids in our connective tissues this is what happens;

1. First, there is an increased sense of well being from the "stimulatory" reaction of the bodies regulatory system that operates in high gear to process the excess acid.
2. The patient therefore believes her or his self to be totally well.
3. This type of person tends to be an over achiever, active, always running.
4. The person is overly ambitious due to the acidic irritation of the nerves.

1. irritable and difficult to please
2. exhausted, fatigued
3. listless and inability to get anything done
4. constantly finds fault
5. sees only the pessimistic side of life
6. can't sleep restfully
7. wakes tired in the A.M.
8. suffers generalized aches and pains
9. loss of appetite or ravenous hunger
10. obstipation (difficulty moving bowels) to constipation
11. gallbladder pains and frequent headaches
12. frequent redness of the nose or parts of the nose
13. hardness and pain of the neck and shoulder muscles with pressure
14. pain of the back of the head nerves with pressure
15. often coated tongue and halitosis, enlarged tonsils
16. moist hands with poor blood supply, cold hands, pale to white
17. tendency to sweat, tendency to development of skin rashes
18. susceptibility to colds and bronchitis with large mucous secretions as an attempt to rid the body of acid
19. the excretion and reaction phases of Homotoxicology
20. women tend to be pale with scant, heavy or irregular periods
21. blood pressure tends to be lower at first
22. The Indicin Test of the Urine is usually positive. This is a test for rotten products in the intestine that are reabsorbed by the blood stream and re-excreted out the urine when the intestines are in a dysbiotic condition, when abnormal bacteria are growing there because of the latent acidosis
23. shows aging as the sodium is depleted from the body fluids and potassium from muscles causing wasting and weakness, and then calcium from the bones which is osteoporosis, arthritis and cramps.
