SCALE 5
SYSTEMIC HYPERACIDITY
CONTENTS
EXPLANATION
Maintaining a proper acid-alkaline (pH) balance is
emphasized in the Cayce health information. Particularly, Edgar Cayce
noted that high systemic acidity either causes or contributes to many health
problems. The items on this scale are based on 133 readings which
mention "superacidity" as an etiological factor.
High systemic acidity is often caused by eating a
diet containing too much acid producing foods such as sweets and meats.
Stress is another factor which can increase acidity. Improper food
combinations (such as eating grains and citrus at the same meal) can result
in high acidity.
THERAPEUTIC OPTIONS
DIET
The primary therapy for high acidity is diet.
Edgar Cayce recommended that 80% of the diet be alkaline producing foods
(mostly fruits and vegetables). See acid-alkaline table for
listings of which foods are alkaline and acid in their reaction in the
body. Reading 1451-7 specifically listed "sweets, bananas, tomatoes,
and corn" as being superacid foods. Whether this is a general statement
or specifically for that individual is not known.
EATING HABITS
One of the common contributing causes of high acidity
is improperly masticated foods. Take time to chew all foods and mix
thoroughly with saliva. Edgar Cayce suggested that we even "chew"
our liquids.
GLYCO-THYMOLINE
Glyco-thymoline is a highly alkaline mouth wash that
can be used to alkalize the system. Two or three drops in a glass
of water taken three or four times each day can decrease high acidity.
BAKING SODA
Baking soda (bicarbonate of soda) dissolved in water
is a simple way of decreasing high acidity.
LIMEWATER WATER
When hyperacidity presents with acute acid indigestion,
limewater added to milk or juice may serve as a useful antacid. Standard
dosage is one teaspoonful of limewater to a pint of milk or to a cup of
juice with each meal.
