Once upon a time many years ago diseases like cancer were mostly unheard of. There was a time when our environment was that of balance, where the things we took into our bodies didn't cause us the harm as they do today. Practically everything we put into our bodies today is full of environmental toxins and pollutants. These toxins are causing our bodies to develop diseases like Cancer and a whole host of other problems for us. We are in a constant battle with pollution and it affects every single person in this world, to one extent or another. There is no avoiding it, but there is an elegant and even simple way to battle this intrusive and invisible killer.

Consider this; back in the 1900's when we started the use of chemical fertilizers in farming is when people started to have real problems with the diagnoses of cancer. In 1900, 41,000 Americans died of Cancer, a death rate of about 64 people per 100,000 Americans. In 1994 this number nearly tripled where over 1,250,000 people in America were diagnosed with cancer and 547,000 of those would die from this plague by 1995. It is now 2011 and the rate is now 1 in every 3 people with cancer will die. Why have these numbers raised so much in the years that have passed? It is because the environment that we have made ourselves is now killing us all, slowly over time and it is now unavoidable no matter where you live.

It is a true fact that environmental pollution is traveling our jet stream and rains its poisonous rain down on us all no matter where we live. The battle we wage against environmental pollution is failing. We must look within to battle this problem instead of facing it from the outside, where environmentalists are failing in their effort to clean up our world. The problem is the world isn't on their side, so unfortunately to us it seems we are losing this battle. Fortunately for us there is a solution to aid our bodies in the removal of environmental pollutants from our bodies and promote balance back into our lives. Right now the balance that should be in our world is nonexistent, and disease and illness are a direct result of our environmental contamination.

We must aid our bodies in the removal of environmental pollution because what your body is unable to remove naturally, it is forced to absorb into tissues and organs. Overtime these toxins causes the balance in your body to shift from alkaline to acidic, where diseases like cancer can take over and your battle to stay alive begins. There is no cure in this world other than your own body, your body is the only thing that can cure and heal. No doctor, no drug and no natural remedy can cure, only your body has that ability. Once you help your body in removing these pollutants, then and only then can it begin to heal itself and overcome many different types of diseases. Environmental pollution is the root cause of 95% of the problems we face today. So, why not take a chance, remove them and see your body's ability to heal itself, it is absolutely amazing what your body is capable of.

It is highly recommended that anyone who's been diagnosed with cancer and wants to be proactive in helping overcome their problem, that they turn to a mainly alkaline food intake as opposed to acid food. Every food item we eat is classified as either alkaline or acid and a recommended ratio is 80 percent of our intake should be alkaline with the other 20 percent can be acid.

The alkaline acid ratio is measured on the pH scale which ranges from 0 to 14 with 7 being neutral. The letters pH stands for potential of hydrogen. The lower end of the scale being acidic with the upper reading of 7 to 14 being more alkaline. It is measured from body fluids and the easiest being a saliva test which can be done at home using a kit which contains litmus paper and a chart to get a result. It's a simple five minute test that anyone can do.

The typical western diet now days is far too high in acid producing foods such as animal products which are meat, eggs and dairy and it's also far too low in alkaline producing foods like freshly grown fruit and vegetables. The simple solution to correct an overly acid body is to make changes to the diet and lifestyle.

An acidic body will also decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients which are essential in maintaining our health. A high acid intake is known to cause ill health, including diseases such as cancer as well as early aging. But when an ideal ratio is maintained, the body has a strong resistance against all diseases and can also help you return to health.

Some examples of acid forming foods are; bread make from refined white flour, cakes and other baking also made from white flour, pasta, cheese, ice cream and butter, jams and jellies, peanuts, bacon, beef, alcohol and soft drinks. All acid forming foods are not necessary bad, it's just our diet is out of balance and if you are dealing with any serious health problem it's essential to look carefully at your diet.

A list of more alkaline foods are; watermelon, apples, apricots, bananas(ripe), dates, lettuce, peaches, peas, pumpkin, beans, broccoli, grapes, potatoes, honey and most citrus fruit. It's important to remember that the changes you make to a more alkaline diet will improve your health. A fully list of alkaline acid food is easily found on line by typing in those two words.

While cancer has many causes the most influential cause is what we eat everyday because the state of our health is directly related to our dietary choices. Our diet has changed over the last 50 years and most of what we eat is now available in supermarkets and supermarkets have an overwhelming influence on what we buy. Much of what's available in supermarkets is processed and because of its processing is low in nutritional value and that is without question, the reason why there is so much cancer now.

It makes a lot of sense, if you are dealing with cancer that the first and the most important change you make is with the food you eat and that you select from a more alkaline range. Also make sure it's fresh, preferably in season and that it has minimal interference by man.
