ALKALINITY

By Dr. George M. Wolverton

To all of the patients at 21st Century Medicine,

This month I would like to tell you about a 62 year-old professional man, a retired executive at General Electric. He was 75 pounds overweight and complained of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and brain fog. Even 9 to 10 hours of sleep did not restore him to a high energy level. He came into the office as a sweetaholic (eating lots of white sugar, white flour, and things starting with the letter “c,” like cakes, cookies, crumpets, cokes, caffeine, and “c’alcohol”).

Physical examination indicated this patient’s blood pressure was elevated 10 points on the systolic and diastolic, and his pulse was relatively irregular. He had diabetes mellitus and moderate kidney failure, in addition to diabetic retinopathy and coronary artery disease. Significant laboratory screening revealed cardiac enlargement and 20% of ideal kidney function.

Prescription for Alkalinity
This patient was placed on an alkalarian diet tailored for diabetics, as explained in Dr. Robert O. Young’s book, The pH Miracle for Diabetes. Over the next year, this patient lost the 75 pounds of excess weight. He focused on an alkalarian diet, which included the recipes in Young’s book. He also followed my Chelation Therapy program to pull out arsenic, cadmium, mercury, lead, and aluminum from his body.

This man started his own business and preached the gospel of alkalinity. He became generally successful and is now significantly better in body, mind, and spirit. I have followed this man’s case. He is still living a creative, active life, living instead of just getting by. All of our doctors have seen similar results with their patients.

Benefits of Alkalinity
In an outcome-based study, I have routinely observed that people who are steadfast in their alkalinity lose weight faster and convert fat to muscle. This is because an acidic body burns muscle but stores fat, while an alkaline body converts fat to muscle and energy. People following the American diet—high in white sugar, white flour, and other “no-no’s”—are keeping their bodies acidic, burning muscle and storing fat.

We believe alkalinity plays a role in many issues other than weight loss, however. We think eating a more alkaline based diet allows people to live better, longer, by suppressing the overgrowth of yeast, mold, and fungi in the body. When in overgrowth stages, these microscopic life forms weaken the immune system, making a person more susceptible to all sorts of diseases and health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and chronic fatigue.

We feel that for most people an alkaline based diet is an important foundation for wellness. This means:

1.       Eating organically.

2.       Eating according to an alkalarian diet program, which is included in such books as Dr. Young’s book,
The pH Miracle
.

3.       Following our Chelation Therapy and detoxification protocols, both oral and intravenous.

4.       Reducing stress.

These steps have helped many people lose weight and achieve overall wellness.

On behalf of myself, Dr. Johnson, Dr. Pretila, Dr. Moore, and our staff, we are pleased to serve you.
