It is important, and has been verified by many sources. Check the net. The pH can be easily modified by the body for organic acids and bases, but no so for the ash content. This is a very important fact. The organic pH is totally irrelevent for the body, the ash is the only important thing, since the body can easily switch from one to the other. That is very easy to prove. If you blood ph changes by a couple of tenths, you will get dizzy and can even lose concousness. OK. lets try an experiment. The body maintains ph short term by carbonic acid in the blood. Lets exhale such that the CO2 is eliminated more quickly than it is produced. Breathe very deeply about 20 times rapidly. Did you notice the dissyness, or maybe even lose conciousness. This is caused by alkaladosis. The CO2 is used by the body to adjust it's acid/alkalinity, and works for the organic acids. It does not work well for the inorganic acids, which require the stripping of calcium from the bone or other methods to neutralize. The carbonic ion is used to make these adjustments: http://www-class.unl.edu/bios201/chapter2aWEB/tsld041.htm Check these sites on how it works and more information. http://www.madsci.com/manu/gas_acbs.htm http://www.snybuf.edu/~snyderrj/bio402/lectures/blood2.htm http://www.usc.edu/dept/biomed/bme403/Section_1/bicarbonate.html http://academic.brooklyn.cuny.edu/biology/bio4fv/page/bicarbo.htm http://www.virtual.yosemite.cc.ca.us/dward/physo101/Resp_acidbase.htm Marshall -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
