Thank you Annie for your kind words – and you are absolutely right, the parathyroid is CRUCIAL when it comes to maintaining the healthy pH in your blood of 7.365, and yes, your parathyroid is so important in that process. As the blood filters through the parathyroid glands, they detect the amount of calcium present in the blood and react by making more or less parathyroid hormone (PTH).

This is INNATE INTELLIGENCE in action: High acid levels decrease the calcium levels in the blood, using the largest mineral bank as a very POWERFUL neutralizer of acid. When the calcium levels in the blood are too low, the cells of the parathyroids sense it and make more parathyroid hormone. Once the parathyroid hormone is released into the blood, it circulates to act in a number of places to increase the amount of calcium in the blood i.e. like removing calcium from bones. This entire process is triggered by high acid levels in the body. To prevent this, aim for a diet high in alkaline foods, like dark green veggies rich in chlorophyll, high water content salads, soups, smoothies, green drinks, healthy fats, nuts, and seeds, healthy whole grains.
