tissue. All this is initiated by acidosis and heads one down the road to disease
and degeneration. It affects the aging of the skin, promotes osteoporosis by
reducing TSHs, which reduces the production of thyroid hormone, which
eventually leads to hypothyroidism. Remember, the thyroid gland is
responsible for the body’s calcium utilization. Caffeine, soda, and tea can also
enhance the production of excessive cortisol.
All these steroid-type hormones are synthesized from cholesterol, which
also acts like or is used by the body as an anti-inflammatory agent or lipid.
All things happen for a reason. If your cholesterol is building up on vascular
walls or in tissues, what does that tell you? Remember that cholesterol is an
anti-inflammatory agent or lipid. If it is building up in your body or if your
liver is producing too much of it, this tells you that you have too much
inflammation in your body.
Since most people choose to eat a predominantly acid-forming diet, over-
acidic (acidosis) conditions of the body (both systemic and cellular) begin to
take place. Acidosis and inflammation are virtually the same thing. Added to
acidic diets are the acid-type hormones. Females produce testosterone and a
lot of estrogen, which are acid-type hormones. Each month ovarian estrogen
is produced in large amounts, which breaks down the inner lining of the
uterine wall, causing the monthly menstruation cycle. Men also produce the
acidic hormones testosterone and androsterone. These are aggressive-type
hormones. They effect many different cellular changes from the breakdown
of tissue to the increased growth of tissue ... all types of tissue, from hair
(pubic, facial, etc.) to muscle tissue. These hormones affect sexual behavior,
increase blood flow and cause erections. These acid-type hormones in men
and women are naturally counterbalanced by the body with the production of
progesterone and other steroids, which are anti-inflammatory and produced
in the adrenal glands. When these acid-type hormones are over-produced, or
not balanced by steroids, they can cause inflammation in tissues.
Adrenal Gland WeaknessLow adrenal gland (medulla) function causes low blood pressure from
insufficient neurotransmitters and starts a process of nerve disorders,
breathing problems, and heart arrhythmias.
Low adrenal gland (cortex) function causes insufficient steroid
production leading to acidosis and inflammation.This causes—
