One of the most important causes of cancer development is probably the acid-base balance of our tissues. This was already highlighted by Dr. OttoWarburg (born October 8, 1883) at the beginning of the last century.
Nobel Prize winner, he is one of the most eminent physicians, physiologists and biochemists of the 20th century who discovered the key process of cellular respiration and various enzymatic systems.
He demonstrated that cancer cells change their metabolism to anaerobic metabolism. His hypothesis (unconfirmed) is based on the fact that cancer cells grow particularly in an oxygen-poor environment. The other factor that Dr. OttoWarburg highlighted as favorable to the growth of these malignant cells is excessive tissue acidity, i.e., when the pH is below 7.365.
If the pH is low (at 6.0), lactic acid is produced. Combined with poor oxygenation of tissues and therefore an excess of CO2, acidosis is a breeding ground for tissue degeneration. According to Dr. OttoWarburg, there is a direct relationship between pH and oxygen. A higher pH (alkaline) means that there is a higher concentration of oxygen molecules, while a lower pH (acidic) relates to tissue intoxication and a low concentration of oxygen, which is absolutely necessary for the life of healthy cells.
In 1931, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for this important discovery about the cause of cancer. He says, "Cancerous tissue is acidic, while healthy tissue is alkaline. Water is divided into H+ and OH- ions, if there is an excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH-, then it is alkaline.
In this, he opposes Dr. André Gernez, Louis Claude Vincent and the American scientist Reding who asserts that: "Acidosis constitutes a state unfavorable to the development of the cancerous cell, alkalosis contributing to its hatching". It has been found that the lowest rate of carcinogenesis is held by the most acidic tissue, namely muscle (ph below 7). It almost never becomes cancerous and never harbors cancerous metastases.
The rare cancers that heal spontaneously (1 in 90,000) always heal following an intense and prolonged fever that causes the cell environment to become acidotic. According to Dr. Enderlein's research, a full recovery from chronic diseases can only be achieved when the blood is returned to a normal, i.e. slightly alkaline pH.
We are faced with information that seems radically opposed. One of the references in the field, Christopher Vasey provides us with the key to this enigma. In fact, these 2 hypotheses are perfectly reconcilable simply because the defenders of these two theories are talking about different things!
The scientists who speak of the alkalization of the organic tissues and therefore of the ground. As for the proponents of acidification, they talk about blood acidity. Blood and tissue and blood have almost opposite pH values. Blood is the most precious liquid of the organism and its pH must remain within very strict limits, outside of which organic disorders, changes in the state of consciousness and then death quickly appear. The body will therefore do everything in its power to maintain an ideal blood pH.
This is how it will draw on the body's mineral reserves to neutralize the acids. When this buffering system is exceeded, acidity reaches the tissues in order to preserve the blood acid-base balance. With time, the tissues and the soil become acidic, which is often the cause of painful problems such as repeated tendonitis and other various inflammations.
These protection systems will gradually tend to make the water slightly alkaline. On the one hand, because it increases its alkaline reserves in order to buffer acids, and on the other hand because it transports bases from one part of the body to another. These bases are intended for acidified tissues.
In conclusion, when the soil becomes acidic, the blood tends to become slightly alkaline. When the soil has a normal pH, i.e. slightly alkaline, everything is fine and the blood, which does not have to fight against an acid pH, tends towards slightly acid values in order to balance the alkaline pH of the soil. This leads to the recommendation to acidify the blood to stay healthy.
Christopher Vasey says: "So when Reding or Vincent say that the tendency to alkalosis in the blood contributes to the development of the cancer cell, it is because the terrain is acidic. Indeed, what is essential for a cell is not so much the blood with which it is not in direct contact, as the cellular serums that impregnate the tissues and represent its immediate environment.
One thing is certain, cancer cells do not grow in healthy soil with a slightly alkaline pH and slightly acidic blood. A well-nourished and well-balanced person will have a urinary pH of about 7 to 7.5 and a blood pH of about 7.34. Unfortunately, in our modern civilization, everything contributes to our falling into acidosis: poor nutrition, overeating, stress, pollution, negative thoughts, drugs, etc.
Knowing that urine mirrors the pH of tissues, you can easily measure your tissue acidity using urine pH dipsticks that can be purchased in pharmacies. Nutrition is a very simple, but also very effective way to act and modulate the pH of your tissues, i.e. your terrain. So take action to protect your health.
