The body tends to hang on to fat to keep acid poisons from doing more damage in other areas of body. When body can't store acid poisons in fat cells, they are stored in vital organs and/or excreted through skin causing skin eruptions or rashes. Fact Three The body uses a balancing mechanism to ensure high levels of acid poisons do not circulate in blood stream. You can monitor acid level by having a pH test done. (pH, meaning potential of hydrogen, refers to a scale showing how acid or alkaline something is, more acid, more hydrogen, more alkaline, more oxygen is present). The blood of body needs to be a pH of 7.365 which is slightly alkaline, and rest of body works to ensure this happens. A professional healthcare provider can monitor blood pH to predict and control health issues. When blood remains between 7.3 and 7.4 on a consistent basis, body has ability to adjust to a normal healthy state which includes ideal weight. The monitoring of pH to predict and control health issues is not widely practiced here in United States. You can monitor your blood pH by testing pH of your urine and saliva. There is a certain protocol to follow and it is a good alternative to testing blood pH. When you get urine and saliva pH to read 7.0 on a consistent basis your body will be able to readjust to it's appropriate or natural weight. Your cravings will change. Your life will change... for better. Your body will be working against any weight loss program which is not geared to move pH of internal systems into appropriate balance. Detoxifying your body or ridding your body of these acid poisons is a major factor in weight loss. Learn more about pH and how you can use it to control your own health and weight.

-Abnormal bowel movement frequency (more than three per day or less than three per week), -Abnormal stool form (lumpy/hard or loose/water), -Abnormal stool passage (straining, urgency, or feeling of incomplete evacuation), -Mucous passed with stools, -Abdominal bloating or distension. There are few effective treatments for IBS. Pharmaceutical medications include anti-diarrheal agents and laxatives, some of which can be harmful if used repeatedly. Significant improvements can be made through dietary changes which can therefore reducing some trigger factors for IBS. It is also important to practice some stress reduction techniques such as breathing techniques, and positive psychology, as there is a direct link between stress and an aggravation of IBS symptoms. The most promising, long-lasting and side-effect free results in treatment of IBS were based on a large clinical trial conducted at an Australian university, and published in Journal of American Medical Association in 1998. These results demonstrated a 64-76% improvement rate on all measures of IBS such as abdominal pain, distention and bowel habits. These results were achieved in a double-blind, placebo controlled clinical trial conducted by gastroenterologists and doctors. The remarkable positive results were achieved in treatment group that received Chinese herbal treatments. This same formula can be purchased as pre-made capsules from select retailers, and it offers great hope for those struggling with IBS.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. Maia Dodds is author of ‘The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Improvement Program' See www.irritablebowelsyndromeip.com for details, further research and articles.
