Life in creation is controlled and expressed by two opposite forces, either
positive or negative in nature. This type of polarization is essential for
creation to exist. Without opposites like night and day, up and down, short or
tall, everything would be the same—God undifferentiated. Creation depends
upon these opposites to exist. You see this in your own life, as you have days
that you call “good” or positive, and other days that you consider “bad” or
negative. Yet, both of these aspects of life are essential to your experience of
growth and awareness.


An element can start out negatively charged, which is called alkaline,
creating a cationic reaction (cationic means to disperse or break apart).
Through the process of ionization (chemical magnetism) the same element
can become positively charged or anionic (acidic). Anionic means to
compound, saturate, or come together. An example of such a change from
negative (alkaline) to positive (acid) can occur with the element calcium. Plant
calcium is alkaline, and works with magnesium, sodium and potassium to
alkalize the fluids of the body. These elements are called electrolytes.
However, once in the bloodstream, they can become ionized— or attracted to
—other elements, magnetically, joining with these other elements and creating
an anionic or acidic complex. This is seen where calcium joins with
phosphorus to create calcium phosphate to form or rebuild bones, and is a
positive effect. However, this process can happen with free radicals, like
oxalates, which can then form calcium oxalate stones. This type of anionic
reaction causes inflammation and tissue damage. It is very important to
understand the meaning of acid and alkaline and their effect upon tissue, as
this will give you an overview of disease.


ACIDS AND ALKALIES


Acids are chemical compounds that always have hydrogen as part of their
make up. They have the ability to supply positively-charged hydrogen ions in
a chemical reaction. The degree of acidity is determined by the number of
hydrogen ions in the solution. Acids give protons to a substance creating a
“bonding” effect, as in bone or stone formation.


Alkalies, or what we call “bases” in chemistry, are negatively charged and are
attracted to protons. Alkalies neutralize acids. An example of this would be
the toxic acids created from digestion (e.g., sulfuric acid and phosphoric
acids), which are converted to non-toxic salts when combined with alkaline
