Reverse Aging, by Sang Whang

Sang Whang's book Reverse Aging is one of the first books to introduce consumption of alkaline water and alkaline diet for cleansing the body of acidic toxins as the solution to preventing disease and slowing (or reversing) the effects of aging. He maintains that aging and disease are caused by the accumulation of acidic waste in the body. Acidic waste is created primarily as a by-product of metabolism, which is the oxidation (or burning) of nutrients to provide energy for the body. Acidic waste is also caused by exercise, stress, pollution, and the worst of all - acid diet and drinks. Cola soft drinks are the most acidic with a ph of 4 to 4.5 and should be avoided completely.

Sang Whang provides a detailed explanation of acidity and alkalinity which are opposite sides of the pH scale ranging from 0 (acidic) to 14 (alkaline) with 7 considered neutral. pH occurs due to the ionization of water caused by atoms or molecules losing or gaining electrons from other atoms. Water ionization causes water molecules to split into positve charged hydrogen ions and negative charged hydroxyl (1 hydrogen atom and 1 oxygen atom) ions. More hydrogen ions in water make the water more acidic and more hydroxyl ions make the water more alkaline.

Acidity, Akalinity are Keys to Blood Oxygen

Acid waste in the body causes a number of problems, but the most damaging concern is the reduction of oxygen levels in the blood and other cells. Diseases and cancers function best in oxygen-deprived environments and cannot live in oxygen-rich environments. The body controls blood pH keeping it within the range of 7.3 to 7.45. The higher blood alkaline pH level of 7.45 contains 64.9 % more excess oxygen than the lower blood PH value of 7.3.

True Cause of Cancer

Sang Wang quotes Herman Aihara’s book “Acid and Alkaline” explaining the true cause of cancer.

“If the condition of our extracellular fluids, especially the blood, becomes acidic, our physical condition will first manifest tiredness, proneness to catching colds, etc. When these fluids become more acidic, our condition then manifests pains and suffering such as headaches, chest pains, stomach pains etc. According to Keiichi Morishita in his “Hidden Truth of Cancer”, if the blood develops a more acidic condition, then our body inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the body so that the body such so the that the blood will be able to maintain an alkaline condition.

As this tendency continues, such areas increase in acidity and some cells die; then these dead cells themselves turn into acids. However, some other cells may adapt in that environment. In other words, instead of dying – as normal cells do in an acid environment – some cells survive by becoming abnormal cells. These abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not correspond with brain function nor with our own DNA memory code. Therefore, these malignant cells grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer.”

Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is the silent disease that makes bones prone to fracture and is a major public health threat for more than 28 million Americans. Reverse Aging calls the human skeleton a “calcium bank” that the body makes withdrawals from to compensate for drops in blood calcium levels caused by the body needing abnormal amounts of calcium to neutralize excess acid. Calcium withdrawals from bones leave the bones brittle and subject to breakage.

Acidosis Influences on High Blood Pressure, Arthritis, Gout and Kidney Failure

Excess acid in the body increases blood pressure by reducing blood oxygen forcing the heart to pump harder and by supporting the build-up of arterial wall plaque. Reduced calcium ions in the body caused by acidosis aggravates diabetes by impairing the pancreas ability to produce and release insulin hormone as well by failing to dissolve arterial wall platelets clog blood vessels restricting blood flow that further impairs pancreas function. Acid accumulation in the joints is the key cause of arthritis and gout. Excess acid in the body also over-taxes the kidneys whose function is to remove these acids resulting in nephritis, uremic poisoning and bladder infections.

Reverse Aging Solutions for Detoxifying and Eliminating Excess Acidity

Alkaline Water

Sang Whang’s number one solution for cleansing acidic waste from the the body and improving your health is drinking 5 glasses of ionized alkaline water per day. This will gradually detoxify your body of accumulated toxic wastes and flush out the resulting waste products out of the body through urination. He recommends producing alkaline water at home with a water ionizer (these can be purchased from several sites on the Internet). It is also possible to purchase alkalized concentrates on the Internet and some health supplement stores.

Alkaline Diet

Sang Whang also recommends a detoxification diet of foods that generate the least amount of acid and most amount of acid neutralizing byproducts. He notes that the pH level of food consumed is not important; it is the pH of the residues remaining after digestion and metabolism in the body. There are many guides for acid forming and alkaline forming foods. Acid forming foods referenced in the book in order of acidity are: rice bran, egg yolk, oatmeal, brown rice, tuna, chicken, carp, bream, oysters, salmon, buckwheat flour, clams, scallops, pork, Peanuts, herring eggs, beef, cheese, whole barley, shrimp, peas, beer, bread, chicken soup, butter and asparagus. Alkaline forming foods referenced in the book in order of alkalinity are: ginger, kidney beans, spinach, soybeans, bananas, chestnuts, carrots, mushrooms, strawberries, potatoes, cabbage, radishes, squash, bamboo shoots, sweet potatoes, turnips, orange juice, apples, egg white, pears, grape juice, cucumbers, watermelon, eggplant, coffee, onions, tea, string beans, human milk, cow’s milk, and tofu.

Exercise

Sang Whang admits that exercise creates acid in the body, but exercise elevates body temperatures and expands capillary vessels where acidic waste can be trapped by acid-induced coagulation. Over-exercise can build up lactic acid and combine with the release of acidic waste making the blood more acidic. This condition can result in the person exercising to feel dizzy or faint. However, the exerciser can simply rest a bit to allow the body to neutralize the acid and later eliminate the waste. Drinking ionized alkaline water will help.

Hot Baths, Saunas, Massages and Fasting

Baths and saunas are good for cleansing acidic waste from the body by elevating internal body temperatures, which opens up capillary vessels to release trapped acidic waste. Massages can also result in squeezing out acidic waste.

Fasting causes the body to use fat for energy, which also cleanses acid toxins and dead cells from the body. Blood pH becomes much more acidic during fasts so it is important to drink ample amounts of alkaline water during a fast.

Far Infrared (FIR) Sleeping Pads and Clothing

Far infrared waves are the portion of non-visible light that resonates directly with water and organic substances and penetrates deeply into the body. It causes us to feel warmer on sunny days than cloudy days when the air temperature is the same. FIR energy is absorbed and radiated by the human body, which makes it healthier for people to sleep together and be close to each other. FIR waves energize water in our bodies resulting in the detoxification cleansing of acid waste from the body. Bedding, clothing and saunas can be purchased that provide FIR energy.

Magnetic Sleeping Systems

Sang Whang reports that magnetic sleeping systems made with hundreds of small embedded permanent magnets generates a magnetic flux that surround the sleeper. The magnetic flux attracts the iron in the hemoglobin of the blood generating a small electrical current resulting in ionization of the blood. The ions in the blood are very active and chip away at the plaque and cholesterol build-up in the arteries. The magnetic flux helps to repair injured cells relieving aches and cramps during the night. It also helps bone growth and the mending of bone fractures.

Positive and Negative Ions in the Air

Cosmic rays ionize air molecules breaking up the molecules into positive and negative ions. Positive ions are attracted to the earth ground and negative ions are attracted to the sky. That is why negative ions are more plentiful in the high mountains. Negative ions are also plentiful before a storm and around waterfalls. When surrounded by negative ions we get a feeling of euphoria and when surrounded by positive ions we get feelings of depression. Whang says one theory explaining the euphoric feeling is the negative ions have an extra electron to donate so the fast moving negative ions provide a molecular massage to the body loosing up and freeing acid particles. In summary though, negative ions in the air are beneficial because they tend to neutralize acids increasing body alkalinity. There are several brands of negative ion generators on the market for this reason.
