Acidosis
The pH scale runs from 0-14 with 7.0 be a neutral pH and with a pH of 6.4 to 6.8 being the most suggested when considering your biological terrain first thing in the morning (urine & saliva) - it will change to alkaline numbers throughout the day with 7.0 - 7.8 being the norm a couple hours after eating.*

Physiological Considerations
When a depletion of the bicarbonates occurs the carbon dioxide accumulates in the tissues and oxygen brought to the tissues by the arterial blood cannot be utilized and is carried away by the venous blood. The effect is equivalent to depriving the individual of oxygen. Such persons suffer from symptoms of suffocation, dehydration and are hyperirritable.*

	Predisposing Factors
		Kidney overload, "possible" failure of adrenal mechanisms caused by excessive mental stress or shock.*
		Liver insufficiency (unable to synthesize urea or detoxify waste acids)*
		Deficient intake of alkaline-ash foods*
		Excessive intake of acid-ash foods*
		Inability to metabolize, or, excessive intake of carbohydrates*
		Starvation - ketosis* tends to develop as stored fats are utilized from body reserves in liver dysfunction in the absence of carbohydrates.*
*Ketosis - accumulation in the body of the ketone bodies: acetone, betahydroxybutyric acid, and acetoacetic acid.

	Frequently Observed Entities
Adrenal dysfunction; Neurasthenia; Tachycardia; Fevers; Anorexia; Diarrhea; Constipation; Calcium Deficiency Symptoms; Hypertension; Toxemia (uremia); Ketosis; Anoxia (oxygen deficiency); Obesity*

	Common Clinical Situations
		Suffocation Symptoms: frequent sighing, breathlessness, dislike for closed rooms, high altitude discomfort, irregular respiration*
		Hyperirritability Symptoms: voice affected during stress, tachycardia, photophobia, dysphagia (difficulty swallowing); restlessness, insomnia, "goose flesh" easily formed, "cold sweats" type perspiration*
		Dehydration Symptoms: dryness of skin, dryness of mouth, dry-hard stool, diminished urination, diminished perspiration*

The following supplements tend to combat the effects of acidosis
	Primary
		A-C Carbamide® - Blood salt buffer
		Organically Bound Minerals - Source of alkaline minerals, particularly potassium
		Disodium Phosphate - Blood buffer salt

	Secondary
		Cataplex® B - Oxidation of lactic and pyruvic acids
		Cataplex® A - Combats acidosis via kidney function
		Cataplex® C - Increases oxygen carrying capacity of blood
		Cataplex® F - Calcium diffuser
		Arginex® - Kidney overload - may be indispensable in chronic cases of acidosis, particularly where edema is present as in liver cirrhosis, congestive heart failure, nephrosis (degenerative changes in kidneys), ascites (accumulation of serous fluid in peritoneal cavity), etc.*

	Conclusion
	Practically the whole array of chronic and acute diseases may in some degree be related to acid-base disorders. The most significant mineral may be potassium. Recent tests with radio active isotopes show that potassium (as a trace mineral may be deficient in both - acidosis and alkalosis and that it functions both as a base and as a trace mineral. In the Addison's Syndrome (adrenal insufficiency) the serum potassium is excessive and side reactions upon potassium administration indicate nutritional support of the adrenals.*
