Sang Whang presents a new scientific theory about the aging process in his
book “Reverse Aging”. In it, he explains the anti-aging process in
layman’s terms. Below is an excerpt.
INTRODUCTION
In order to learn how to get younger, we must understand the process of aging.
Having handled natural health improvement devices developed in Japan over the
last few years, I have witnessed -- as well as personally experienced -- many
mysterious phenomena in the reverse aging effect.
Being a scientist, engineer, and inventor, I have tried to understand and explain
the phenomena scientifically, applying the scientific principles of these non-drug,
natural health improvement devices. During the course of the study, I came to
a realization of what the human aging process is about. The great news is that,
with this new theory, the reverse aging process can be explained, and ANYBODY
CAN GET YOUNGER IF HE OR SHE SO DESIRES.
THE AGING PROCESS
We get old because we are not disposing of all our internally generated wastes
and toxins, and accumulate the leftovers within our body. For our body to function
and to maintain body temperature, we burn nutrients within our cells. The main
ingredients of all foods, expensive or inexpensive, gourmet or junk, vegetable
or meat, alkaline or acid, are either carbohydrates, proteins or fats. And they
are nothing but the combinations of four elements: carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen
and oxygen.
After these nutrients are burnt (oxidized) in the cells, they all turn into
organic acids: carbonic acids, uric acids, lactic acids, fatty acids, ammonia,
etc. Fats are acidic even before oxidation. The Chinese word for oxygen is written
with two characters, "sahn-so". They literally mean "acid root".
These acidic wastes and toxins are disposed of in liquid form, as urine or
perspiration, after first being dissolved in the blood. Every element within
our body was placed there by the blood and can come out, first by being dissolved
into the blood and then by excretion. If anyone loses ten pounds by any dietary
means, it can be said that most of that ten pounds came out through the urine.
Unfortunately, due to our lifestyles and environments (i.e., too much ingestion,
overwork, over indulgence, not enough rest, staying up late, not enough exercise,
inadequate water consumption, smoking, pollution, etc.) the body cannot get
rid of all the acidic waste products that it generates within. We accumulate
these leftover waste products somewhere within our body. This is the process
of getting old.
To make matters worse, mixed with these organic acids are inorganic acid minerals
such as chlorine, phosphor, and sulfur that come in with most of our acidic
foods: meats, grains and root crops. We don't eat enough of alkaline foods such
as fruits and vegetables that contain inorganic alkaline minerals: calcium,
magnesium, sodium, potassium, etc.
Although the amounts of inorganic minerals are small compared with the organic
acid wastes that the body produces, they contribute more towards the acid side.
However, one important thing to note is that even if one does not eat any acidic
food at all, as long as carbohydrates and proteins are consumed, the body produces
much more acidic wastes than the inorganic alkaline minerals can counteract.
We are born with high alkaline blood pH of 7.44. As we get older, the blood
pH level drops down to 7.35 or below. The blood pH referred to here is the artery
blood pH. The difference of 0.09 in pH value seems very small but since pH level is
logarithmic, the amount of hydroxyl ion (OH-) in 7.44 pH is 1.23 times that
of 7.35 pH. The hydroxyl ion is an oxygen donor while the hydrogen ion (H+) is an oxygen taker. In other words, young people carry 23%
more of the oxygen donors in their blood than older people. No wonder they are
more energetic!
Uric acid is nearly insoluble in water, alcohol, and ether, but soluble in
solutions of alkaline salts, In other words, it becomes soluble in alkaline
water. Arthritis and gout are caused by uric acid deposited between the joints,
non-dissolved due to the low alkalinity of an older person's blood. Drinking alkaline water will gradually elevate one's blood pH level and the gout
will disappear naturally. (More about this acid-free alkaline water later)
As we live with poor waste disposal systems for a long period of time, some
parts of our body build up more acids than others, and they can clog up capillary
vessels around those acidic areas. This causes some body organs to function
in a sluggish manner. We feel tired and run down, sometimes for no reason whatsoever,
and adult diseases such as high blood pressure, arthritis, diabetes, asthma,
allergies, etc. start to set in. WE SIMPLY ACCEPT THESE PHENOMENA AS "GETTING
OLD."
In some extreme cases, the build up of acidic elements is so great that it
starts to destroy healthy cells around them. Healthy cells must maintain a slightly
alkaline pH level. Some cells change their formula in order to survive in an
acidic environment. If they are successful, this is the beginning of cancer.
Cancer cells are acidic while healthy cells are alkaline. Even if the cancerous
tumors are completely removed surgically, as long as the acidic conditions in
the area remain, the chances are that new tumors will develop around the same
area.
Exactly where the left over waste products are accumulated may very according
to every individual. However, the parts of the body where wastes accumulate
first may determine what kind of adult disease that individual may develop first.
Within one family, the storage places may be similar. This may explain the hereditary
effects of certain adult diseases.
THE REVERSE AGING PROCESS
Because the accumulation of waste products inside the body is the aging process,
helping the body to get rid of the OLD waste products is the reverse aging process.
This reverse aging process takes two steps. The first step is to develop a
good disposal system and the second step is to pull out the old wastes from
their hiding places.
Development of A Good Disposal System
Since, as mentioned before, the waste disposal is done in liquid form by urine
and perspiration, it is imperative that we drink plenty of water, When one is
going through any diet program, doctors tell him to drink 8 glasses of water
a day. They know the disposal is through urine, but they don't tell you what
kind of water to drink.
Since all waste products are acidic, the best kind of water is acid free alkaline
water. Drinking 4 glasses of this alkaline water is much more effective than
8 glasses of regular, bottled water or filtered tap water. There are devices
called water ionizers that split alkaline minerals and acid minerals in regular
tap water by electrical means.
A quality water ionizer takes in regular tap water which has both acid and
alkaline minerals in it and has a typical pH value of 7. The system then releases
water with a pH value of 9 or higher with the alkaline minerals from the original
tap water. At the same time it releases acidic water with a pH value of 5 or
lower with the acid minerals in the original tap water.
Since this alkaline water has twice as many alkaline minerals as the original
water...it is more than twice as potent as the original water.
Inside
our body, it will neutralize only acidic elements and discharge them safely
out of the body. Drinking 8 glasses of regular water can leach out acidic wastes
as well as some valuable alkaline minerals such as potassium. That's why doctors
test your blood when you are going through a serious diet program. With this
alkaline water, 4 glasses are sufficient and there is no worry about losing
potassium from your system……
