YOUR pH BALANCE IS CRITICAL FOR GOOD HEALTH!

WHAT IS “pH”?

PH is the acronym for "potential hydrogen” – the standard scientific measure for levels of acidity in organic material. For example, gardeners and farmers often need to know the pH of soil. Aquarium owners continually check the pH of water. And, in human health and medicine, the pH of our bodily fluids is a key indicator of our general state of health.

HOW IS pH MEASURED?

The measured pH range is from 0 to 14 – with pH of 7.0 being neutral. Any measurement of 7.0 or above is alkaline. Anything below 7.0 is acidic. The higher the pH reading – i.e. the higher the number above 7 – the more the fluid being measured is alkaline and oxygen-rich. The lower the pH reading, the more the fluid is acidic and oxygen deprived.

HOW TO MAINTAIN AN ALKALINE BALANCE?

The Lenson Ionic Detox Foot Spa is designed to help balance the body’s pH level. Some Studies have shown that after just one 30 minutes treatment, pH balance can be restored from 6 (acidic) to 7.5 pH (Alkaline) making it a very effective method of not only detoxifying but balancing the body pH.

ALKALINE - GOOD! ACIDIC - BAD!

Healthy human body fluids (blood, saliva, etc) normally register in a very narrow pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. Readings below this range indicate symptoms of disease. If our blood pH drops much below a reading of 6.8, some of our body cells cease to function, change in structure, do not regenerate at all or die. So, if you have a health problem, it is highly likely that your body has become acidic. Research has shown that the body cannot heal itself unless its pH level is slightly alkaline. This, in turn, indicates that it will be difficult to gain the full effectiveness of any remedial treatments, until the pH level is returned to an alkaline healthy reading.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH IMPLICATIONS OF ACIDIC pH

As with most living organisms, the human body does not function correctly without balanced pH. Research has established that disease and illness have difficulty thriving/surviving in an alkaline environment – yet they seem to thrive in an acidic environment. Acidic pH balance decreases your body's ability to absorb vitamins, minerals, food supplements and other nutrients… decreases cellular energy production… inhibits the natural process for repairing damaged cells… decreases your ability to detoxify heavy metals… allows tumor cells to thrive… and makes you more susceptible to fatigue, illness and disease.

BLOOD CELL ANALYSIS

The human body is made of billions of microscopic cells. Red blood cells are slightly negatively charged along with the surfaces of the blood vessels through which the blood flows. This happens for a good reason. because identical charges repel each other, blood cells are not attracted to the artery walls or to each other allowing the blood to flow smoothly along these narrow channels.

After Ionic Cleanse

Above are two photos of blood cells. Before a 30 minute ion cleanse treatment the blood cells were clumped together and oxygen deprived/. After one 30 minute treatment the pH levels can be restored to an alkaline level which is oxygen-rich leaving the body recharged and rejuvenated!

WHAT CAN CAUSE ACIDIC pH?

Your system can become acidic from an acid-rich diet, from toxic overload, from emotional stress, from immune reactions and/or any process that starves your body cells of oxygen and other nutrients. Your body will try to compensate by using up existing alkaline minerals; but if your diet does not contain sufficient minerals to compensate, acidic build-up takes place in the body’s cells.

SELF TEST YOUR pH

There is a simple pH self-test (using inexpensive litmus paper, available from health food or drug stores), which can quickly tell you whether or not your system is acidic or alkaline. This test will provide you with an indication of the state of your health. Be advised that this test is only an indicator, and only reflects that moment in time when it was performed. PH levels are constantly changing within our bodies.

YOUR BODY IS CONSTANTLY REGULATING

Your body is constantly regulating (or attempting to regulate) your pH levels. You should not assume you are unhealthy, if a pH litmus paper test shows an acidic state. It may simply reflect your last meal. However, if you perform this simple home test carefully several times over several days, and consistently obtain acidic readings, your system is probably in an acidic state.

HOW TO TEST

Perform first thing after waking, or two hours after eating or drinking.
Swallow the saliva in your mouth, and then produce new. Repeat this several times.
Transfer saliva to Litmus paper (Do not put the litmus paper in your mouth).
Compare the result to the pH color chart provided with your litmus kit with the appropriate ph categories below.

For accurate results, follow the instructions that are provided with the self test kit and repeat as required.

SIGNS OF A TOXIC BODY

The following environments and conditions may help create and may indicate high toxicity levels.

· Have low energy

· Have dry skin

· Do you smoke

· Do you have Heartburn

· Do you tire easily

· Have excessive hair loss

· Have Cancer

· Are you stressed

· Drink lots of soda drinks

· Worry all the time

· Have difficulty concentrating

· Live in a renovated or new home

· Sensitive to chemical odors

· Slow to recover when you are sick

· Drink alcohol, coffee or tea regularly

· Are over-weight or under weight

· Do you have your clothes dry-cleaned

· If you drive through heavy traffic

· Live near a major road, highway or in a city

· Eat sugar, chocolate and sweet bakery treats

· Eat non-organic fruits, vegetables, and meats

· Do you have poor circulation - cold hands or feet

· Do you operate electrical or electronic equipment

· Do you find it difficult to wake up in the morning

· Suffer from depression, confusion, or forgetfulness

· Do you have metal plates, screws or rods in your body

· Do you have to urinate often in the middle of the night

· Suffer from sneezing, runny nose, hay fever, or sinusitis

· Suffer from headaches, migraines, and sore, achy muscles

· Suffer from premenstrual symptoms, breast or uterine cysts

· Suffer from insomnia, waking in the night, or disturbed sleep

· Use bleach, detergents, household cleaners, and disinfectants

· Have difficulty digesting food? (Gas, Constipation, Indigestion)

· Are you often irritable, impatient, tense, or agitated

*The more times you said yes, the more toxic your body is likely to be. Your body is working overtime trying to eliminate these harmful toxins. As the body continues to accumulate toxins, they begin to get circulated deeper into the body, causing further congestion and complications. The energy the body normally uses for healing and growth gets redirected, trying to neutralize the toxins circulating in the system.

Spa Water Analysis

It is important to recognize that water in the spa will change color when it is turned on, even without parts of the body in the water. The basic color change is the result of the reaction between the charge in the water and the salt, chemicals, minerals and metals in the water. This color change of the water will vary from location to location, subject to water quality.

The charge created by the array, neutralizes cations in the water the way it neutralizes cations in the body. The predominant color of the de-ionized water is determined by the water quality of the local water authorities or your well and the contaminants common to that area.

The color of the water can provide general data about toxic areas of the body but it should not be relied upon as accurate information. It is important to focus on how your body feels after a series of sessions. For more accurate information, tests can be undertaken using current blood samples, ph, urine or by testing pre & post spa water for toxins.

The following chart is a guide only and should only be used as a reference.

WATER COLOR	DETOXIFICATION - AREA OF BODY
Yellow-green	Kidney, bladder, urinary tract
Orange	Detoxification of joints
Brown	Liver, tobacco, cellular debris
Black	Detoxifying from Liver
Dark green	Detoxifying from gallbladder
White foam	Lymphatic system
White cheese-like particles	Most likely yeast
Black flecks	Heavy metals
Red flecks	Blood clot material

THE ESSENTIALS OF ANY DETOXIFICATION PROGRAM

Water and exercise are crucial to help keep the body functioning properly. This allows the body to circulate the blood and lymph system and is vital in assisting the body to purge the toxins out of the cells and bring the good nutrients to the cells. Drinking a minimum of 8 cups of natural spring water, eating organic vegetables and fruit, and having multi vitamins each day plays a critical role in any detoxification program.
