Introduction
An introduction to the specific features which can be functioned
by CoralMin (CaCo3=100% fossil Coral Minerals) as a pH Regulator
in the body.
First of all, we refer to two distinctive excerpts from the
book:
Physiological Basis of Medical Practice
Chapter 32:
Acid-Base Balance and Regulation of H+ Excretion
Section 4:
Body Fluids and Renal Function and Health Engineering
with subtitle of:
Prevent Sickness, Maintain Health and Treat Ailments
Written by Dr K Nishi in 1936.
Acid-Base Balance and Regulation of H ion Excretion
The kidneys have a major role in regulating the H ion concentration,
or pH, of the body fluids. In a healthy individual, the pH
of the ECF (Extra Cellular Fluid) generally is maintained
within a rather narrow range, with a mean normal value of
7.40 ± 0.02 in arterial plasma and 7.38 ± 0.02
in mixed venous plasma.
The clinical evaluation of a patient's acid-base status generally
is based on# laboratory studies of arterial samples. Thus,
an individual is considered to have an acidosis when the arterial
pH falls below 7.38 and an alkalosis when the arterial pH
rises above 7.42. Such precise control of pH is necessary
because of the marked effects of pH changes on protein conformation,
enzymatic reactions and central nervous system function.
Threats to pH
The major threats to the pH of the body fluids are acids
formed in metabolic processes. Theses metabolic acids can
be conveniently divided into 3 categories.
1. Volatile Acids: Carbon Dioxide
CO2, major end-product in the oxidation of carbohydrates,
fats, and amino acids, can be regarded as an acid by virtue
of its ability to react with water to form carbonic acid (H2CO3),
which in turn, can dissociate to form H and HCO3.
2. Fixed Acids: Sulphuric Acid and Phosphoric Acid
Sulphuric acid is an end product of the oxidation of the sulphur,
containing amino acids methionine and cysteine, while phosphoric
acids is formed in the metabolism of phospholipids, nucleic
acids, phosphoproteins, and phosphoglycerides.
In contrast to CO2, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid are
non-volatile and therefore been termed fixed acids.
3. Organic Acids
Organic acids such as lactic acid, acetoacetic acid and B-OH
butyric acids are formed during the metabolism of carbohydrates
and fats. Normally, these acids are further oxidized to CO2,
and water and therefore do not directly affect the pH of the
body fluids.
Acid-Base Buffer Systems
The kidneys and the lungs together share the responsibility
for regulating the pH of the body fluids. However, it is the
buffer systems of the body fluids that actually provide the
most immediate defense against changes in pH. These buffers
are weak acids that exist as a mixture of a protonated form
and an unprotonated form in the physiological pH range.
Acid-Base Balance
Water excluded, the greater part of the substances composing
the human body is protein. The protein reacts very sharply
to the concentration of hydrogen ions in the body fluid. The
normal pH value of our body fluid is maintained between 7.2
and 7.4 by the association and dissociation of carboxyl radical
1 (COOH) and amino radical 2 (NH2) of amino acids, 3 components
of protein.
In the range mentioned above, any person has his own fixed
value, for example 7.2 or 7.3. Mine is 7.26 whenever measured.
If health is disturbed too much for body and mind to maintain
its normal pH value, then fever, diarrhoea, vomiting or other
various symptoms result.
Carboxyl radical placed on the right in an analysis chart
illustrating the correlation between body and mind, is acid
and represents the sympathetic nerve. All the physical and
emotional actions listed on the right sides strain the sympathetic
nerve and increase the amount of carboxyl radical.
Therefore, in order to maintain the concentration of hydrogen
ions as normal, the carboxylradical must be dissociated.
COOH===== COO? + H
The amino radical is alkaline and represent the vagus nerve.
Those items listed on the left side strain the vagus nerve
and increase the amino radical. Then it becomes necessary
to dissociate a part of it. The carboxyl radical gets dissociated
thermoelectrically or electrolitically but the amino radical
requires water for dissociation. Water is taken from faeces
and the dissociation takes place as follows:
NH 2 + 2H2O =====NH4 + 2OH?
If the water taken from the faeces for the dissociation is
not replenished, the faeces will become dry and constipation
will result. This is the reason why one needs to drink 30
grams of un-boiled good water every half an hour (in the rate
of one gram per minute).
Note:
I drink CoralMin water one sip almost every 15 to 20 minutes
all day. I drink CoralMin water 8 glasses per day.
The 2 atomic groups: carboxyl and amino radicals, get dissociated
or associated according to the environment and both sympathetic
and vagus nerves work at their maximum to maintain the normal
pH value of the body fluid.
Testing your pH with CoralMin (Regulator of pH Balance)
The complimentary pH Kit includes a packet of the CoralMin
mixed with 2 strips of pH paper and a colour pH chart. The
pH Kit is to be used in determining the pH status of the fluids
of your body. The pH is a measurement of the acid/alkalinity
in the body fluids. Most individuals tend to register a low
first-morning pH (6.4 therefore more yellowish), which means
that the person is significantly acidic.
An acidic pH below 6.4 hinders the body's ability to absorb
nutrients, such as minerals, vitamins or herbs. Health Practitioners
who have their patients regularly test their first-morning
urine pH, report that the more acidic a person registers typically
the worst a person feels. As the pH of the body returns to
an ideal first-morning pH (6.4-7.0), nutrients are more accessible
and uptake is greater.
CoralMin is natural ionisable minerals, the largest component
being calcium. The body must reduce every form of calcium
and other minerals into the ionised form in order to be absorbed.
The soluble (ionisable) calcium is the main mineral form that
can rapidly alkalinise the body. The body can then produce
mono-ortho-calcium phosphate which then raises the pH back
into the proper range. CoralMin ä (Fossil Coral Minerals)
have been referred to as the "Catalytic Factor",
because as these minerals begin to promote the proper acid/alkaline
balance regulator in the body, they also appear to potentiate
the uptake of other nutrients as found in food or nutritional
supplements.
CoralMin (Fossil Coral Minerals) has been strongly fortified
naturally with negative ions, which result in a high energy
potential when mixed with the water. The natural fossil coral
minerals provide an effective transport mechanism for the
ionisable minerals, which enables enhanced tissue bio-availability.
The complimentary pH kit is meant to be an indicator of possible
imbalances, which can lead to a compromised state of health.
It is also not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent
any disease. The Food and Drug Administration have not evaluated
these statements.
Causes of Diseases
Dr Katagiri, proponent of the complimentary medicine as well
as a natural healing advocate in Japan wrote the following:
"Modern medical science is apt to look at diseases not
in the general, but in the local light. That is as absurd
as to attempt to explain away by means of a single etiological
theory any and every malady mysteriously complete and delicate.
Today's medical science is too technically divided, or fragmental
approach. Tomorrow's medical science ought to be more synthesized.
The human body must be taken up as a whole in searching the
possible and probable causes of maladies from the general
standpoint that takes an inclusive view so to speak of mankind
and their surroundings, their life amidst Nature. As a preliminary
to the etiological study in the light of synthetic medical
science, the following published by different experts and
scholars may with both interest and advantage be noted below.
Philosophical interpretation of what a disease can be must
precede deliberations on the origin of diseases. And such
interpretation may favourably be introduced by defining what
health is.
A living body is in health while activities in its life are
kept within the biological realm, that is, while its life
is in a mean or balanced condition.
To put it more precisely, creatures are in health when the
concentration of hydrogen-ion is between 7.3 and 7.5: when
the temperature ranges between 36 and 37 degrees; or when
the pulsation is confined between 65 and 75; in other words,
when a regular oscillation or circulation is maintained within
a limited range of activities. For under such a condition,
all the elements and forces present in the human organism
are in perfect harmony and balance.
Such a stage shifts into that of a disease when such a harmonious
status of the elements and forces is disturbed. In this case
the living body automatically tries to restore its normal
condition.
The next question is how the disease is brought about, that
is, where its origin can be found. It comes from ignorance
about the law of nature. Violation of this law of nature brings
a disease by way of punishment. Bacon's dictum in Novum Organum:
"Nature can be conquered by obeying it." is as true
indeed with our modern life as with life in the olden times."
