What does it really mean? The blood-jerk reaction
Any rise in the alkalinity of the blood above pH 7.365 (alkaline
phosphate)—any rise—is a result or a compensatory reaction due
to over-acidity in body tissues as the blood attempts to maintain
pH balance. There is no exception for the rule of alkalinity. The
body will ALWAYS overcompensates for the excess dietary and/or
metabolic acidity in the tissues by over-alkalizing the blood with
alkalizing salts such as sodium, potassium, magnesium or calcium
to maintain homeostasis. I call this the “knee-jerk reaction” effect.
Current conventional medical thought
Along comes the conventional medical attendant and perceives
that there is too much alkalinity or bicarbonate in the blood, when
really there is not! There is too much hydrogen or acidity in the

Introduction
I am certain that you have heard and even experienced a
‘knee-jerk reaction’. I am also certain that you have never heard
of a ‘blood-jerk reaction’ but you have experienced a ‘blood-jerk
reaction’ without understanding the physiology. I believe it is not
only important to understand the ‘blood-jerk reaction’ but critical
in avoiding ALL sickness and disease, especially All cancerous
conditions!

extra alkalinity or alkaline phosphate, calcium, potassium and/or
bicarbonate into the blood and the blood pH spikes up to a higher
than normal pH.
Why?
utter destruction! In other words, the body is trying to save the red
blood cells which are the foundation of life from being poisoned
the body. This is why the pH of the blood goes into alkalosis. It’s
like when you get the bejeebers scared out of you by something
innocent, you over-react.
When suddenly alarmed, a person might scream, holler, faint,
get mad, strike out, drop the vase, kick the dog, or even have a heart
attack. The blood does the same thing.
A ‘knee-jerk reaction’…well, actually, a ‘blood-jerk reaction’.
Alternatively, how many times have you heard of a car going off
the shoulder of the road and the driver over-reacts, jerks the wheel
the time. Incidentally, if that does happen to you, you’re better off
not to interfere. Stay on the shoulder. Let the wheel stay there for a
moment. Slow the car down. But don’t overreact!
Conventional medicine, does NOT teach nor understand the
cause of the excessive alkalinity pouring into the blood, therefore
they try and stop the rushing over-alkalization with drugs that are
highly acidic setting the stage for a serious health challenge! [1].
But that’s the wrong move
We’re better off not to interfere or increase the alkalinity with
alkaline salts of sodium and potassium bicarbonate to respond to
Once more. When your little boy falls down, sees mama going
out the door, or is scared of the boogey man, what happens? He not
only cries, but how often do we see a child go into a big, fat over-
reaction? Sometimes, the child really gets worked up. It’s a natural
over-reaction to a typical situation.
Now it’s Dad’s turn to over-react. Along comes Dad and says to
keep quiet, shut-up, don’t be such a little sissy, put a lid on it, grow
up, stop that crying, OR ELSE…
Since I have digressed to make a point, I may as well digress
all the way. Wrong move, Dad. If you do that often enough, the
message you send to your child is don’t have feelings, don’t express
your feelings, you are not acceptable, don’t act like a child even
though you are a child, and don’t be who you are. So don’t over-
react Dad. Better to let the child get it out, stay in the room, validate
their feelings, and use a little active listening (www.gordontraining.
com). Strong feelings can come and go…or come and stay. If you’re
really klutzy, you could be orchestrating chronic emotional issues
for a lifetime. Gee, thanks Dad.

was that caused the pH to over-react must be understood!
ahead, correct?
Not only do we need alkalinity but lots of it. The acidic
will need additional alkalinity to wipe out the acidic interstitial
degenerative tissue problems.
For example, breast, prostate, brain, pancreas, bowel, liver
or lung cancers are not a disease of alkalinity but a disease of
acidity. The body uses the calcium from the bones as well as other
alkalizing buffers (bicarbonate, hemoglobin, sodium, magnesium
and potassium) to chelate or buffer acidity! That is why there are
bowel, liver or lung before a cancerous tumor shows up.

Why prior to the tumor?
Because the body will always try and protect and preserve
itself from dietary, respiratory, environmental and/or metabolic
acids by buffering these acids with the alkalinity of calcium. The
bones are always affected in any cancerous condition because the
bones are an excellent source for calcium. This is what causes the
degeneration of the bones or bone cancer.
Then is the loss of bone mass the disease or the calcium deposits
in the glands, organs or tissues the disease. NO?
Is the increase in the alkaline phosphates or potassium the
disease? NO! NO!
These are all symptoms, not diseases!
Then the disease must be the over-acidity? Well yes, and well
no.
Then what is the disease?
The “yes” part I call acidosis or hyper-acidity. That is an
acceptable term for the condition. But it is really much more.
The “no” part is that it’s more than acidity. It’s a psychological
disorder. It’s a sociological malaise. It’s a cultural-anthropological
phenomenon. And once people understand the truth and the
understand the science of what I have been writing about for the
better part of four decades, it may then become to be understood
as a “moral disease” as well.
And why is that, you ask?
Is committing suicide a moral issue? Well, yes. Is drinking
yourself to death a moral issue? Well, yes. Is allowing your children
you are aware of what’s happening and have other options.
If you say “yes” to these last few questions, then we are looking
at a very, complex psychological, sociological, cultural, biological
and moral phenomenon.
Once you know and believe that over-acidity causes every
disease and most dis-ease, then to ignore that fact is a form of
suicide. When you eat poorly, you pull the acid trigger every day of
you square in the head like a massive heart attack, or it may kill you
more slowly like a cancer, or it may simply put you in a fog for the
next 15 years like Alzheimer’s or dementia.
This “dis-ease-phenomenon” is a perverted way of living, eating
and thinking!!!
Yes, this is the cause of ALL disease.
ALL that disturbs the central balance of organized matter that
leads to excess acidity. It is ALL that leads to increases in alkaline
tumors, ALL liver, lung, brain, thyroid, breast, pancreas, gallbladder,
stomach, intestinal, bladder, kidney, ovarian, uterus, prostate and
skin cancers and ALL potential bone cancer!!!!
First, YOU must understand that ALL of the above sick-nesses
and dis-eases are NOT sick-nesses or dis-eases but are symptoms
of acidosis and catarrh that has built up in the blood, interstitial
cells’ ability (the janitorial and garbage collectors for the blood
and tissues) to remove dietary, respiratory, environmental and
metabolic acids and morbid matter. When we are dealing with any
symptom or any effect, we need to look to the cause.
The “New Biology” explains the cause and effect of all sick-ness
and dis-ease in addition to explaining how to improve the quality
and quantity of life.
For example, enervation (the deprivation of force or strength)
and muscle weakness per se is not a dis-ease. Weakness, or lost
the blood becomes charged with acids.
This is dis-ease and when the toxin accumulates beyond the
toleration point, a crisis takes place. This means that the poison or
acid is being eliminated—often through the skin, the third kidney.

We can call this disease, but it is not. The only dis-ease is systemic
acidosis which localizes in the compartments of the Intersititum
and effects the weakest parts of the body.
Figure 4
And what we call disease are symptoms produced by the forced
vicarious elimination of acids through the mucous membrane.
When the elimination takes place through the mucous
membrane of the nose, it is called a cold—catarrh of the nose. And
where these crises are repeated for years, the mucous membrane
thickens and ulcerates, and the bones enlarge, closing the passages.
At this stage, hay fever or asthma develops. When the throat and
tonsils, or any of the respiratory passages, become the seat of the
crises of acidity, we have croup, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis,
bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, etc.
Figure 5
Figure 6
When the acids locate in the cranial cavity we have dementia,
Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, muddle thinking, forgetfulness, and even
depression.
When the acids locate in the gastrointestinal tract we have
IBS, gastrointestinal dysmotility, autonomic dysfunction, carotid
stenosis and ischemic colitis.
When the acids are expressed through the skin we have
psoriasis, measles, smallpox or monkeypox. When the acids locate
lead to tumors and liver cancer.
What’s in the name?
All are symptoms of the expulsion of acids from the blood and
They are of the same character essentially and evolve from the one
cause, namely, systemic acidosis, a crisis of toxemia.
The description can be extended to every organ of the body,
including the largest organ, the skin. For any organ that is enervated
below the average standard from stress of habit, from work, or
worry, from injury, or any other cause, that organ may become
the location of the crises of systemic acidosis. The symptoms

presented differ with each organ affected. That fact gives color to
the erroneous belief that every symptom-complex is a separate and
distinct disease.
But, thanks to the new light being shed by my “New Biology”
upon nomenclature involved in the naming of a disease, every
symptom-complex goes back to the one and only cause of all

Nature’s order is interfered with by enervation habits until
acidosis is established. Then a vaxxination (seen in Gulf War
Syndrome and Spanish Flu Epidemic) or an outfection from any
Sooner or later cause the most vulnerable organ (the bowels)
will undergo organic change. The organ, however, has nothing to do
with cause, and directing treatment toward the organ compounds
the problem and is nonsense.
Examples of this wrong thinking yield blood transfusions for
pernicious anemia, gland treatment for gland impotency, the
cutting out of stones, ulcers and tumors! This is medical perversion.
There is no question that one of the most pernicious practices
in vogue today is treating so-called dis-ease with disease and
immunizing with the products of disease. Current medical science
calls this form of pathological thinking a “vaxxination”.
When the cause is not known, how is prevention or cure possible
except by luck?
Producing a mild form of smallpox or monkeypox using vaxxine
is the same as introducing a poison into a healthy person. It makes
Figure 7
no sense. Certainly only pathological thinking can arrive at such
conclusions. Vaxxine or autogenous remedies (metabolic acids) are
made from the products of disease and therefore are a contrubuting
organ and gland dis-ease!
The idea that disease can be made to cure itself is an end-
product of pathological thinking!
If prevention and cure mean producing disease, surely
prevention and cure are not desirable. If prevention can be
accomplished, then cures will not be needed!
It is not disease, it is cause “in all its aspects” that we need to
know before we can take steps to prevent or cure “disease”.
Cause of sickness and disease is constant, ever present, and
always the same. Only effects or symptoms, and the object on which
a cause acts, change. And the change is most inconstant.

Not all cases run true to form. Only a small percentage evolve to

food poisoning or acute indigestion then by chronic diseases. Most

general cause of disease. Then I decided that it was not bacteria,
yeast and molds but that the body becoming enervated. But wait
a minute, enervation is not a disease; disease must be due to
metabolic acids. I reasoned that localized or systemic acidosis is
the true general cause of all disease and must be autogenerated.
And, if disease is due to autogenerated acids, what is the cause of
that autogeneration?
The answer is found in understanding the nature of matter and
how it organizes and disorganizes.
I realized that there must be a physical or emotional disturbance
to organized matter before it can begin its disorganization. And
when matter begins to disorganize, it gives rise to autogenerated
acids. This is true for all matter!
To illustrate, take a physical injury to a joint which is often
complicated with the prior symptom of rheumatism. The
rheumatism previous to the injury was potentially in the interstitial
matter which, under stress of injury or shock of any kind, would
cause a reaction with fever?
I could not and did not understand until the “Autogenerated
Acid Theory” suggested itself to my mind.
After that, the cause of disease unfolded before me in an easy
and natural manner.
I call this new paradigm for ALL sickness and disease, “The
Cycle of Imbalance”.
You can read about “The Cycle of Imbalance” in my book, “Sick
and Tired, Reclaim You Inner Terrain”. You can order this book at:

In a few words, without acidosis, there can be no sickness or
disease and there can be NO CANCER!

becomes disease producing.
Disease cannot be its own cause, neither can it be its own cure
and certainly not is own prevention!
My personal discovery of the truth of ALL sick-ness and dis-
ease—that acidosis is the cause of all so-called dis-eases—came

It is also true that without autogenerated acidosis there can be
NO PAIN!
Therefore, pain equals acid and acid equals pain!
I knew that the acidic waste products of cellular disorganization
and metabolism were toxic and that the only reason why we were
not poisoned by it was because it was removed from the organism
as fast as it was produced.
Then I discovered that the acid was retained in the interstitial

Then, the cause of the checking had to be determined. In time, I
thought out the cause of all sick-ness and dis-ease.
I knew that when we had normal energy, organic functioning
and the elimination of acidic dietary, respiratory, environmental
and metabolic waste was normal.
Then came the discovery that enervation caused a checking of
elimination!
Eureka!
The cause of ALL sick-ness and dis-ease is NOW found!

Outfection, drugs and food poisoning may kill, but if they do not,
they will be short-lived in a subject that is free from the enervation
and acidic dietary, metabolic, respiratory and environmental waste.
Conversely, the poisoning will linger in the system until the acidic
waste is overcome. Then and only then will elimination remove all
traces of the outfection and the sickness or dis-ease.
Syphilitic outfection is pronouncedly an acidic subject thrown
into great virulency by poor nutrition, lifestyle and conventional
treatment.
The same is true with HIV/AIDS and now VAIDS or vaxxine
acquired immune dis-ease symptomologies. The so-called infection
is in reality an outfection and is the least offender of the trio. Add
fear (false evidence appearing real) and wrong eating and we
have a formidable symptom complex that serves to justify all that
professional syphilomaniacs say and write about the disease.

is little left. What is left can be easily thrown out of the body by

cause is individual. Here is where investigators meet their Waterloo.
All of the so-called diseases are increasing symptom complexes
due to repeated crises of acidosis.

Sickness or disease has no independent existence! As soon as
acidity is controlled, the symptoms disappear unless an organ has
been forced by innumerable crises to degenerate.
Even organic change, when the organ is not destroyed, will
come back by correcting the life and getting rid of the true cause—
the crisis of acidosis! [1-62].
All symptoms of all so-called dis-ease have one origin!
All diseases are ONE! Unity in all things is Nature’s plan!

out of it must go!

program as you read and ponder chapters 4, 5 and 11 of The pH
Miracle revised and updated book.
https://phmiracleproducts.com/collections/books-

The complete program is a 12 week program that includes the
alkaline recipes in the back of the book.
Figure 16
You start off the pH Miracle protocol with a 14 to 28 day liquid
feast. You can eat as much and as often as you like as long as the
food is green and pureed. The soup recipes such as the Broccoli
Soup, Asparagus/Zinc Soup, The Healing Soup and the Popeye Soup
with lots of avocados are excellent to eat during the liquid feast.
You also need to begin taking the pH Miracle and Innerlight
nutritional supplements while drinking at least 6 liters of pH
Miracle or Innerlight SuperGreens a day. Start out gradually
drinking 1 liter of pH Miracle or Innerlight SuperGreens per day
and then work up to 2, then 3, then 4, until you are drinking at least
6 liters a day.
When you take the pH Miracle nutritional supplements, take 5
drops 6 times a day of the liquid colloids under the tongue, (except
under the tongue) away from meals, or taking 1 capsule 6 times
a day of the capsule products with meals. I would suggest taking

4 capsules every 4 waking hours of the bowel cleansing formula
called pH Miracle pHlush. The bowel cleansing product helps
to keep things moving through normal elimination channels -
urination, defecation, perspiration and respiration - and for women
menstruation.
After you complete the 14 to 28 day liquid feast, you can then
begin introducing some solid alkaline food but it still needs to be
as green as possible. I would suggest not only the vegetable soups,
but steam fry vegetables and lots of salads. Make sure you use only
lemon or lime and good oils on your salads for the dressing. Another
soups and salads. I suggest a minimum of 5 to 6 tablespoons of
good oils each day.
In Conclusion
The medical world has been looking for a remedy to cure disease,
notwithstanding the obvious fact that nature needs no remedy! She
needs only an opportunity to exercise her own prerogative of self-
healing cures!
There are NO cures with conventional medicine!
The subconscious builds health or dis-ease according to OUR
ORDER. If we send impulses of irritation, discontent, unhappiness,
of all pride, the subconscious builds us in the image of OUR ORDER.
The truth is that we need no doctor!
We need to empower ourselves to effect a reconciliation
between our subconscious creator and ourselves.
What we need is to learn self-control, respect, poise, and
relaxation!
And when these impulses are sent over the sympathetic nerves
to our subconscious creator, we will begin to receive images of
a more ideal man or woman, until an approach to perfection is
attained.
Sickness and disease, including the symptoms of cancer, tumors,
AIDS, diabetes, MS, lupus, HIV/AIDS, depression, hyperthyroidism,
Wilson’s Syndrome, fybromyalgia, pain in every joint and muscle,
chronic fatigue syndrome, muscle cramps, allergies (food), asthma,
bronchitis, frequent colds, candida, hypoglycemia, allergic reaction
to any chemical, chronic fatiguing, food cravings, indigestion,
irritable bowel, pneumonia, ulcers, stomach and bowel cramps and
even memory loss is the culmination of years of abuse of nutrition
and years of acids from faulty elimination by forcing the bowels to
move.
