Cancer and pH

The relation of Cancer and pH was discovered many years ago.  Dr. Otto Heinrich Warburg received the 1931 Nobel Prize for discovering the real cause of cancer in 1923.  He was the director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute, which is now known as the Max Planck Institute, for cell physiology at Berlin.  He investigated the metabolism of tumors and the respiration of cells with emphasis on cancer cells.

“Cancerous tissues are acidic, whereas healthy tissues are alkaline. Water splits into H+ and OH- ions, if there is an excess of H+, it is acidic; if there is an excess of OH- ions, then it is alkaline.”

In his work “The Metabolism of Tumours” he demonstrated that all forms of cancer are characterized by two basic conditions: acidosis and hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Lack of oxygen and acidosis are two sides of the same coin: where you have one you have the other.

“All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen – a rule without exception.” – Dr. Otto Warburg

“Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.” – Dr. Otto Warburg

Dr. Warburg has made it clear that the prime cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency brought about by Toxemia.  Dr. Warburg discovered that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen.

Alkaline water such as Kangen Water (TM) which is Ionized with a high amounts of active Hydrogen is used by many people to balance their body pH.
