“For just as the foolish physician studies disease in order to bring about health, so the wise physician studies health in order to annihilate disease, saying to his patients: “Fulfill the condition of health, and disease will fall away from you of its own accord.”

Everything we eat either promotes HEALTH or DISEASE
Feed your body only what it needs and your body will:
Remove harmful toxinsFind balanceRepair & heal
Our kidneys play a major role during detox by eliminating toxins. An alkaline pH level is important for proper kidney function and detoxification.

You Are Really What You Eat
Disease thrives in an ACIDIC body.But NOT in an ALKALINE body!
Eat alkaline food to:Rid your body of toxinsBoost your immune function Prevent parasites, germs and diseaseSlow your aging process Reduce inflammation and body painIncrease energy and healthy longevity
Your goal: Keep your pH around 7-8
