Acidosis is a condition in which there is excessive acid in the body fluids. It is the opposite of alkalosis (a condition in which there is excessive base in the body fluids). The kidneys and lungs maintain the balance (proper pH level) of chemicals called acids and bases in the body. Acidosis occurs when acid builds up or when bicarbonate (a base) is lost. Acidosis is classified as either respiratory acidosis or metabolic acidosis.
Respiratory acidosis develops when there is too much carbon dioxide (an acid) in the body. This type of acidosis is usually caused by a decreased ability to remove carbon dioxide from the body through effective breathing. Other names for respiratory acidosis are hypercapnic acidosis and carbon dioxide acidosis. Causes of respiratory acidosis include:
Chest deformities, such as kyphosis
Chest injuries
Chest muscle weakness
Chronic lung disease
Over-use of sedative drugs
Metabolic acidosis develops when too much acid is produced or when the kidneys cannot remove enough acid from the body. There are several types of metabolic acidosis: Diabetic acidosis (also called diabetic ketoacidosis and DKA) develops when substances called ketone bodies (which are acidic) build up during uncontrolled diabetes.
Hyperchloremic acidosis results from excessive loss of sodium bicarbonate from the body, as can happen with severe diarrhea.
Lactic acidosis is a buildup of lactic acid. This can be caused by:
Alcohol
Cancer
Exercising vigorously for a very long time
Liver failure
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Medications such as salicylates
Prolonged lack of oxygen from shock, heart failure, or severe anemia
Seizures
The bottom line is, if you change the chemistry environment of your body your going to change your health for the better. Do what you can afford to alkalize your system, whether its with water food or supplement or all the above as a way of life. Here are the best products that I use myself. If you can't afford an Ionizer or a portable Ionizer. Drink distilled water with a half lemon squeezed and 3 teaspoons of Hydrogen Peroxide per gallon that will make a low grade alkaline water and won't have all your minerals like the Ionizers do. Its a lot better than drinking tap water and more healing.
