What makes cancer cells different than healthy cells in regards to alkalinity?
I can't give you a scholarly answer, but since coming down with cancer, I've spent a ton of time researching it.
The simplest way to put it is, cancer requires an acidic environment to survive. Unfortunately, our modern diets create the kind of low PH environment that cancer thrives in.
Simply raising the body's PH level to 7.5 (slightly alkaline) through diet or other means, creates an environment that is toxic to cancer.
This information comes from real doctors who have been successfully treating cancer patients for many years, and clinical researchers who have uncovered the inner workings of cancer at the molecular level.
