Arthritis:
Recent Theories And The Affects of Imbalanced pH

Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis have lower cellular potassium content than normal and high plasma copper content. Reports have shown low potassium being the only consistent difference in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Although there has not been a clinical study proving this theory, rheumatoid arthritis should not be present in people who eat vegetables instead of grains. The reason why potassium is often overlooked is probably because potassium is present in almost all foods grown in large quantities.

As most have come to realize, what you eat strongly affects your body. When food is digested, it leaves certain residues that yield either alkaline or acidic potentials of pH. Our body is at a constant struggle to keep our pH balanced. If balance is not achieved through diet then the body will take over by leaching away key minerals such as, calcium, potassium, and sodium from the bones, teeth, and important organs. An imbalanced pH can lead to serious health problems such as weight gain, poor athletic performance, low energy levels, Osteoarthritis, Osteoporosis, and premature aging if continuously too acidic or alkaline.

A recent theory assesses the possibility of potassium deficiency contributing to Rheumatoid arthritis. The Dead Sea water has a reputation for healing arthritis. The Dead Sea is also known to have two and a half to ten times as potassium chloride than sodium chloride and an even greater ratio of magnesium chloride. The first person to introduce this theory was DeCoti-Marsh in a book published in England in which he claimed numerous case histories that potassium attributed magical properties.

An acidic pH leaches away key minerals, which increases the risk of bone diseases. A lack of alkaline calcium ions in the blood can lead to a disease known as "acidosis." More Americans develop acidosis through the intake of acidifying foods (pasta, chocolate, coffee, tea, beef, poultry, seafood, rice, bread, eggs), drinks, smoking, air pollution, anger, and stress than before. This is reflected in an increase of nearly double the number of hip fractures in the last 50 years.
