“When you eat a diet high in fruit and vegetables, every cell of your body will be charged like an alkaline battery so that you, too, can keep going on and on and on and on...” Toni Toney

It can be very challenging when you try to change deeply ingrained food habits; mainly because most strongly acidifying foods are very addictive. To truly nourish your body and restore your internal environment let your mantra be “just say no”.

Alkalinity "101"

We have a delicate balance in our body called the acid alkaline balance.  Just as our bodies have to regulate our temperature, so too it has to regulate its pH.  For example, an ideal body temperature is 98.6 and too much variance either way of that can dramatically affect our health.  As important as our body temperature is, there’s another number that is equally important and that is the acid alkaline balance within our body – the pH balance.  There’s a scale which measures how acid or alkaline any substance or environment is and it goes from 0-14 with 7 being neutral.

Here are 10 ways to beat back the cancer blues and be your own best friend:

Michael Solomon - Faust

A light rain is falling. Traffic along the narrow, newly paved road is slow and heavy. A python of automobiles snakes behind the black hearse limousine at the front of the procession. Inside the trailing vehicles, several fetchingly dressed, tormented women fight back tears, each of them asking themselves the same question: “ Why did I make such poor choices in my life? Why didn’t I seize happiness when it was within my grasp?

Michael Solomon - One-Way Street

The first thing I see when I come-to after surgery is the Indian Beauty, again, leaning over my face as I am being wheeled into the recovery area, and saying to me “the operation went extremely well.” She is not a ghost after all, but thankfully, for the first time in my life since I turned thirteen, I am so overcome with the euphoria of survival and the after-effects of anesthesia that I do not try to put the moves on her. I just smile politely.
