The Magic of pH Balance...
Vibrant Health and Energy
Begins with pH balance.
Fact: The pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of our
internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies.
Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm
your body.
Just as the body regulates its temperature in a rigid
manner, so will it manage to preserve a very narrow
pH range - especially in the blood. As a matter of fact,
the body will go to such great lengths to maintain a
blood pH of 7.365 that it will even create stress on
other tissues or body systems to do so. Chronic
acidification will interrupt all cellular activities and
functions - it interferes with life itself.
When the pH of the body gets out of balance (too
acidic), we may experience low energy, fatigue, excess
weight, poor digestion, aches and pains, and even
more serious disorders.
The body becomes imbalanced and overly acidic
primarily as a result of three things:
- Acidic Diet
- Toxicity & Microform Overgrowth
- Improper Elimination & Neutralization of Acids
The process of restoring pH balance begins with
proper diet and nutrition. This includes eating
alkalizing foods (vegetables, low sugar fruits, etc.),
super hydration (drinking plenty of ionic, structured,
alkaline water), and proper supplementation.
We at Phion Nutrition have developed a complete line
of products to augment pH balance. We have
developed a complete holistic system that combats
acidity and the negative impacts of it at every level.

A Natural
Sweetener
That's Also
Calorie-Free
This is a Tale of Two
Sweeteners, full of
sound and fury,
signifying that the
FDA has sold you
and your kids to the
drug companies
again, and you are
unwitting
receptacles of a
sweetener that has
obvious toxicity.
The FDA has
blocked the use of a
natural sweetener
that is totally safe.
If you drink diet
sodas or add Equal
or NutraSweet to
your coffee, listen
up. These
sweeteners contain
aspartame, which
was first approved
by the FDA in 1974.
That approval was
rescinded because
of two studies
showing that the
substance caused
brain tumors in
laboratory animals.
These studies were
never refuted, and
the additive was
approved in spite of
these studies, in
1981, and for soft
drinks in 1983.
According to
National Cancer
Institute data, there
was an alarming
jump in the
incidence of brain
tumors in 1983 -
1987. The
estimated annual
percent change
(EAPC) rose from
2.1% to 8.1% in
males, and from
2.1% to 11.7% in
females. This could
be related to the
consumption of
aspartame-sweetene
d products.
Aspartame has both
potential and real
toxicities. My
associate editor,
Jane Heimlich, wrote
about the effects of
aspartame in the
January 1993 Health
& Healing, and I
have suggested
alternative natural
sweeteners such as
Sucanat and honey.
However, there is a
natural, non-caloric
sweetener that is
totally safe - stevia.
Try a Natural,
Non-Toxic,
Calorie-Free
Sweetener
Stevia is an herb
that has been used
as a sweetener in
South America for
hundreds of years.
It is calorie - free,
and the powdered
concentrate is 300
times sweeter than
sugar. Stevia is
widely used all over
the world. In Japan,
for example, it
claims 41% of the
sweetener market,
including sugar, and
was used in
Japanese Diet Coke
until the company
replaced it with
aspartame to
"standardize"
worldwide. There
have not been any
reports of toxicity
with stevia, which is
consumed by
millions of people
daily.

Soymilk
Soymilk is the rich
creamy milk of whole
soybeans. With its
unique nutty flavor
and rich nutrition,
soymilk can be used
in a variety of ways.
Highly recommended:
For those interested
in soymilk, newer
naturally
concentrated
products are available
with much better
flavor than retail
soymilk products.
Because of a
patented, natural
concentration
process, just 1
Revival Soy bar or
shake contains the
amount of
isoflavones found in 6
cups of a typical
soymilk. Learn more.
In China and Japan,
fresh soymilk is made
daily using a simple,
centuries-old process
of grinding soaked
and cooked soybeans
and pressing the
dissolved soymilk out
of the beans. In
these countries,
soymilk is sold by
street vendors or in
cafes. It is served hot
or cold and is often
sweetened for a
delightful beverage or
flavored with soy
sauce, onion and
vegetables to
produce a spicy soup.
A faux soymilk can be
made from soy flour,
or soybeans.

Sprouted Seeds: "Forgotten Food,"
enhances immune system and rejuvenation
Five thousand years ago Chinese nobles ate sprouted
seeds for rejuvenation and healing. Today, research
seems to be confirming that sprouts are the food of
the future, as well as a food of the past.
During WWII, when the United States was concerned
about a possible meat shortage, the scientific
community advised the government that the
consumption of germinated seeds was the best and
the cheapest alternative to proteins in meat. Today,
the increasing tendency to avoid eating meat means
that sprouts are taking a serious place in modern
culinary approach.
The value of sprouts is becoming more and more
accepted among many in the scientific community
today. Sprouts are found to be a complete protein.
Untampered natural sprouts assist in the building of
nerves, tissue, bones and blood.
Dr. Ann Wigmore, founder of the Ann Wigmore
Foundation in Torreon, New Mexico, has dedicated her
life to confirming the healing properties of sprouts.
For the past 30 years, the foundation and four related
institutes have treated people for different disorders.
Sprouts were found to contribute extensively to the
immune system, and were shown to be excellent
detoxificants.
Studies at Washington University have shown that a
shortage of metabolic enzymes can jeopardize our
health. Apparently, if we get digestive enzymes from
our food, more metabolic enzyme is freed to prevent
disease and maintain health. Unfortunately, all
processed food has been heated by one of more
means, and thus, all natural enzymes have been
destroyed. It seems that eating raw foods is the
answer.

You Are What You
Eat
Do you really know

food? Discover the
advantages of
organic food on this

what producers have
been adding to your
fruit and vegetables
to make it less

years ago.
In the rush to
produce more and
more crops to satisfy
growing demand
producers have had
to resort to using a
lethal cocktail of
pesticides to control
disease and insect
attack.
Good news for their

perhaps but not
good news for your
health, this is why
you need to be
informed of the
advantages of
organic food.
Did you know that if

30 pesticides, even
after you have
washed it?
