Guide: Acidosis and Alkaline Cure

What is “acidosis”?
Acidosis refers to an imbalance in the body’s acid-base system. Normally, the body maintains its pH levels within a narrow range to ensure all metabolic processes function properly. However, stress, processed foods, environmental toxins, and poor dietary habits can lead to latent acidosis – a mild, long-term over-acidification of the tissues.

Acid-forming foods such as sugar, meat, white flour, coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks contribute heavily, especially when they’re not balanced by alkaline-rich vegetables, fruits, and minerals.

Common signs of acidosis
The symptoms of acidosis develop gradually and can often be overlooked. Typical indicators include:

  • Constant fatigue and lack of energy

  • Muscle or joint pain

  • Acid reflux or heartburn

  • Skin issues like acne or eczema

  • Susceptibility to infections

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Sleep disturbances

In the long term, acidosis can promote the development of chronic diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatism, or metabolic disorders.

How does an alkaline cure work?
An alkaline cure helps neutralize and eliminate excess acids. It is based on three core principles:

  1. Alkaline nutrition: A plant-based diet rich in vegetables and herbs, with minimal processed foods and animal proteins

  2. Alkaline mineral intake: Base powders with calcium, magnesium, potassium, and silica support acid elimination

  3. Detoxification support: Drink plenty of water, engage in gentle exercise, take alkaline baths, and support liver and kidney function

How long should an alkaline cure last?
A typical alkaline cleanse lasts between 2 and 8 weeks. Beginners often start with a 10–14 day phase, supported by mineral supplementation and dietary changes.
