While most of us are beginning to be aware of how our diet and exercise habits affect our pH balance, how often do we consider the emotional or spiritual aspects of acid- alkaline balance?

In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), when someone is too acidic,
they are described in terms such as excess, liver-heat, hot and fire. Such symptoms relate not only to diet and lifestyle, but also to our state of mind, including our thoughts. Dr. Harreson Caldwell, a Vancouver-based alternative health practitioner specializing in TCM (www.caldwellclinic.com) says, "Someone can have the most alkaline diet in the world, but be acidic if full of anger." He says thoughts of anger
come from fear and lead to an acidic state in the body. He says, "Most of our illnesses have deep roots in our core beliefs," which become our biology.

Caldwell's holistic prescription to his patients is to get in touch with who they are, which allows healing energy to flow, and also to work on making the physical body more alkaline. When it comes to physically treating his imbalanced patients, such as those with cancer, Caldwell has had much success with the baking soda treatment concept developed by

Italian oncologist Dr. Simoncini. The treatment is based on a theory that cancer is a fungal infection that can be treated as such. Visit www. cancerfungus.com for more information about this theory and treatment.

When it comes to pH balance, Caldwell says, "There is nothing more
powerful," than treating both your formless self and your physical self.
