If the body no longer produces alkali, the need of alkali must be supplied from the outside. Principally, a diet with 80 percents of alkali and 20 percents acid will make us healthy.

When a person who got an early stage cancer, having a strict alkali diet could potentially cured them. Generally it’s known that normally our body has an alkali character with pH 7.4. Within this balance, the chemicals within the body would work at its best and all the waste and toxin would be disposed quickly.

But when the body gets too acidic or consuming too much acidic food then our blood and our body will become acidic.
