It is more complicated than eating “alkaline” foods. pH stands for potential hydrogen. It’s all about potential and charges. Our body can only heal if there is enough “potential”. The potential we are looking for is the cross-membrane potential. On a scale of pH 0-14, an acidic pH of 0 equals +400 mV, a neutral pH of 7 equals 0 mV, and an alkaline pH of 14 equals -400 mV. A typical cell repair pH of 7.88 would equal -50 mV, and a normal everyday cell pH of 7.44 would equal -25 mV. It comes down to this: our cells are designed to run under electron donor conditions. Cancer happens when the energy household of the cell breaks down, and the distance between the negatively charged cell membranes collapses into a dense knot—a tumor.
It is not enough to just add electrons: our cell membranes must be able to HOLD the charge, by acting as “capacitors”. A typical cell membrane is constructed of layers of conducting and insulating materials and the quality of the building materials matters.
