Cancer Can Not Exist in an Alkaline ( pH ) Body


The pH miracle for cancer by Dr. Robert O. Young


We’re very, very grateful to be able to share this research – this New BiologyTM – what I (Rob) refer to as a new way of living, a new way of eating, a new way of thinking.


Some of the questions we’ll be covering in this chapter include:


  • What is cancer?
  • What’s the cause of all cancer? (Is cancer a mutant cell, a virus, a mould? Or is cancer an acidic liquid?)
  • Is cancer a noun or is it actually an adjective that explains what’s happening to the cell?
  • Are tumours bad or good?
  • What role does the lymphatic system play in all this?


The focus will be on the alkaline pH of the body. The key I believe is to obtain sustainable energy.


Most of the last 25 years of my research has been focused on what is happening to the cells as it pertains specifically to the environment around those cells. And I love this quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” So the focus of my research has been on specifically what lies within us and, more specifically, how the internal fluids affect the health, energy, and vitality of the human cell. Dr Benjamin Rush, eminent physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, said: “Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an underground dictatorship. To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic.”


As I think about my vision, the relative purpose of medicine I believe must include not just the treatment but also the prevention of illness and the promotion of health and fitness, rather than just focusing all of our attention on a specific diagnosis or even the treatment of disease. Because disease is an illusion, in reality disease is the body trying to prevent fermentation or break down of the tissue. It’s the body in preservation mode trying to maintain the homeostasis of the internal fluids of the body, which are alkaline. I believe that the ultimate purpose of medicine is to help people discover something fundamental within themselves. And that is an awareness of the true source of wellbeing, the true source of joy, the true source of contentment that we all seek which lies in one’s mind and in one’s heart – which are the emotions and the spirit. And this is important so that we can all begin to be free from the process of grasping for happiness on a physical world.


To support this approach, this theory, I believe we must begin to embrace a more spiritual vision of ourselves and of humanity as a whole, while at the right time providing great love, care, and attention to the physical body. Then, and only then, will medicine (or the treatments that medicine is current performing) help people discover this non-physical, spiritual dimension of themselves. And when this happens I believe that we can live and work with less fear. Rather than working in fear we can work in its opposite – we can work in faith. We’re going to have less stress grasping to preserve the physical body at all costs, then I believe we can truly be happy, energetic, and free.


Last year Shelley and I (Rob) had the opportunity to have a wonderful experience with Dr Carter who is the caretaker of the estate of Martin Luther King and also the protégé of M. L. King, and there he honoured Shelley and I. And the most important thing that I learned about Dr Carter was his openness to not just thinking outside the box, because we talk a lot about thinking outside the box, I would like to suggest rather than thinking outside the box as we contemplate these new theories that I am going to be presenting to you on the pH Miracle for cancer, but making the box bigger. We don’t have to think outside the box, we just need to make the box bigger to allow new technologies, new biologies, new protocols that are effectively making the difference, specifically in the prevention and treatment of cancer.


“We must be the change we want to see.”

– Ghandi


If we want to see the cure for cancer, I believe we must be change we want to see. We’ll have to look at it differently, not outside the box but inside the box making it bigger. Expanding our views and our perspective as it relates to cancer.



Now before we start exploring the pH Miracle for cancer, I must start up by saying what is a pH miracle. And I would suggest that a pH miracle is a natural phenomenon that is not understood currently by medical researchers, specifically in the cause and effect relationship. What is the cause? Is cancer a cause for disease? I say no, cancer is the body attempting to maintain homeostasis and cancer is the body in preservation mode trying to maintain the alkaline design of the human organism. So first we must understand that cancer is unequivocally not a disease, but a symptom or better yet an effect of gastrointestinal and metabolic acids that have built up in the blood and then these acids are thrown off into the tissues poisoning and suppressing our immune system making it increasingly difficult to maintain the alkaline pH of the internal fluids of the body. So these acids destroy the white cells’ ability to remove acids and the cells which they spoil.


What I’m simply suggesting is that cancer is not a cell, but an acidic liquid that spoils our cells that make up our tissues and organs when those acids are not properly eliminated through urination, perspiration, respiration or defecation. Let’s now look at the current medical definition of cancer. What is it? Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells. If the spread is not controlled it can result in death. Cancer is caused by both external factors, some of which are known and are common in our society such as tobacco, chemicals, radiation (from our cellular phones) and internal factors: hormone imbalances, immune deficiency and gene mutations – which is what they’re suggesting. These factors may act together in a sequence to promote what is called carcinogenesis. This is the classical definition of cancer, taken directly from the American Cancer Society.


So what is being suggested by current medical science is that the cancer is some mutating cell that – a transmutation of the genes – triggered by internal or external factors, this is true but what is not understood is these internal or external factors are the acids themselves. So when we’re dealing with any symptom or an effect, we need to look at the cause. Whether externally or internally, the focus traditionally has been to look at the matter rather than look at the environment around the matter. And to understand the cause is very simple just like the treatment. And the New Biology® explains the cause and effect of all sickness and disease and specifically cancer as well as how to improve the quality and quantity of life without chemical therapy, radiation or surgery.

Let me give you an example. Enervation (ie, lack of energy), muscle weakness, you’ve probably seen the commercials on television, it’s a new disease they call restless legs syndrome (RLS) for which there are drugs that supposedly treat the syndrome. They want to put everything in a disease modality – a nice little box – that has a specific treatment. Yet restless legs syndrome is weakness or loss of electrical power. It’s not a disease.



But by causing a flagging of the toxic elimination from the tissue, the blood becomes charged with these metabolic acids and when it’s charged with these metabolic acids the blood has to purify itself by throwing these metabolic acids into the tissues to maintain its delicate pH balance of 7.365. This is what I call the body in preservation mode which leads to what I refer to as latent tissue acidosis. This is poison in the blood, and if that poison is not eliminated through urination, perspiration, respiration or defecation, the body has to purify itself so it throws this poison into the connective tissue. This is the disease, or is it? Not even skin challenges when the acids accumulate beyond the toleration point a crisis takes place which means that the poison or the acid is being eliminated through the skin.


Looking at the 2006 statistics for cancer, this year in America we’re looking at 1,400,000 new cases of cancer. By the way, this statistic doesn’t even include skin cancer which is actually bigger than lung cancer, breast cancer or prostate cancer. And prostate cancer is known to be the leading cause of death in men while lung cancer being the leading cause of death in women. And yet when we look at cancer, the new incidents of cancer and the new diagnoses are skin cancers because skin is the third kidney – the elimination organ. And if acids are not properly eliminated through the elimination channels, then those acids are thrown out into the tissues and this is what’s not currently recognized by medical science.


This is the reason why the blood maintains its pH by either eliminating acid through urination or throwing it into the colloidal tissue which leads to this crisis, this poisoning, this elimination through the skin, again the third kidney! And this is not a disease. The only disease is systemic, because acids flow out through your whole body. They are the waste products of metabolism. Our bodies are like cars, they’re constantly on though 24/7 and they require energy and when energy is being used, a waste product like carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide or lactic acid is being created. So acid is constantly being created which has to be eliminated. So when energy is being used to think, to move, to breathe, at the same time an acid is being created and acid needs to be eliminated. If the acid is not eliminated, it is thrown out into the colloidal connective tissue. It is our tissue that becomes the colloidal acid catcher in order to maintain the purity of the blood. The blood has to maintain the purity and this is why the blood has a constant pH. If it varies of even just one point you can have ill effects. The proper balance is 7.365. If it starts dropping or if it starts going up, the body will do whatever it can to maintain that delicate pH. This is very significant in order to understand cancer and why it’s not a cell but the spoiling of the cell and tissue by metabolic acids which are not properly eliminated through elimination because we have enervation, we don’t have the energy to move the acid out to maintain the purity of the blood, so it is then sent out into the colloidal connective tissue.


When this elimination takes place through the mucus membrane of the nose for example it’s called a cold – catarrh of the nose. And when these crises are repeated for years the mucus membrane thickens and ulcerates, and the bones enlarge, closing the passages. At this stage hay fever, asthma develops. When the tonsils or any other respiratory passages become the seat of the crisis of acidity (because the acids were not properly eliminated) then we have tonsillitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, and cancer. You see, it’s progressive, it’s the same thing. All that’s happening is different progressions of the same thing – just different levels of states of acidosis. When this acid is located in the cranial cavity we have dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, muddle thinking, forgetfulness. If the acids accumulate in the digestive area, we end up with irritable bowel syndrome, gastro intestinal problems, stenosis, colitis. And when the acids locate in the pelvic tissue, or in the breasts, we end up with micro calcifications as the body, in preservation mode, is using one of these alkaline buffers such as calcium to neutralize the acids and that’s why we have these micro calcifications in the pelvic area and in the breast. This always precedes the rotting of the tissue. Even in prostate cancer.


Hence all cancers are the expulsion of acids from the blood and then the tissue at different points and are essentially the same character evolving from the same cause, namely systemic acidosis – a crisis of toxaemia. The description can be extended to every organ of the body: the lung, the liver, the pancreas, the bowls, the brain, including the largest organs which has the highest incidents: the skin. Any organ that is enervated below the average standard (from stress of habit, from overstress at work, from worry, anxiety, fear, injury, etc.) may become the location of the crisis of systemic latent tissue acidosis. The symptoms presented differently depending upon which organ is being affected. Which is what makes it appear as if every symptom complex is a separate and distinct disease. But we need to not think outside the box, we need to think inside the box, we just need to make the box bigger.


I give thanks to this new light shed upon nomen culture naming disease by the philosophy of The New Biology, every symptom complex goes back to the one and only cause of all so called cancers, namely systemic latent tissue acidosis. To find the cause of all symptomologies – lung cancer, breast cancer, brain cancer, bowl cancer, prostate cancer – we start with colds and catarrh, and watch the pathology and is it travels from irritation to catarrh to inflammation to induration to ulceration and then to cancer: nothing more than rotting tissue. And what is causing the transformation (and not gene transmutation) is the spoiling of the cell due to the acids.


Have you ever opened a refrigerator and smelled the spoiling foods at the back? These are the acids! It’s not some germ, it’s not some virus, it’s not some mold that’s breaking this down, it’s the acids that are breaking the tissue down and giving rise to the symptomology. Mold is like a smoking gun, the bullet being the acid. And yet it’s not the bullet or the acid that kills, and surely not the smoke or some gene mutation, or some bacteria or virus, but it is the person himself or herself that is pulling lifestyle and dietary trigger which then releases the acid that then tenderizes or spoils the tissue in the weakest parts of the body.


Nature’s order is interfered with by innovating habits until acidosis is established. A vaccination as evidenced by the Spanish flu epidemic or an infection, in truth it’s literally an out-fection from the same source causing the most vulnerable organ, specifically the bowls, to take on organic changes. The organ however has nothing to do with the cause, and directing treatment to the organ is actually compounding the problem. You cannot treat disease when in reality disease is the body in preservation trying to re-establish homeostasis in a state of systemic acidosis that’s localized at the weakest part of the body.


When we realize that breast cancer is the leading cause of death in women and that these fatty tissues (breast areas) are being used by the body to bind or collect the acids in order to protect the organs that sustain life. And by the way when one does a mammogram and sees these microcalcification of the breast, this is an indication of a state of acidosis – the body’s defensive mechanism to relieve or remove or neutralize acidity that hasn’t been properly eliminated though urination, perspiration, respiration or defecation.


If we’re dealing with prostate, we’re dealing with localized acidity. If we’re dealing with lung cancer, we’re dealing with localized acidity that can be caused by external or internal forces but everything comes from within. As we take in tobacco smoke, there are acids and toxins and poisons – one being sugar which breaks down to acetaldehyde which tenderizes this tissue. Tobacco smoking is not an addiction of nicotine, it’s an addiction of sugar which causes excess acidity in a localized area. So cause is constant, ever present, always the same, only the effects change. To illustrate, a catarrh of the stomach presents first irritation, then inflammation, then ulceration and finally induration and cancer. Cancer is not at the first, it’s the culmination of deteriorating or broken tissue spoiled by an overacidic stomach.


Most Americans are challenged with the symptomology of indigestion which can include acid reflux, bloating, heartburn, burping, diarrhea, or even constipation. The proper way to study disease is to study health in every aspect. Disease is perverted health. Cancer is perverted health – any influence that lowers energy becomes disease producing.


There’s an important question now to answer. Why do we crave sugar? It’s interesting when doing an MRI or a CAT scan. What is used but radioactive sugar that is taken up by the acidic cells – not cancer cells because we don’t have cancer cells, we have acidic cells or cancerous cells: cells that have been spoiled by the environment in which they live. So sugar cravings are the body’s needs for sustainable energy. And energy can only be transported through a matrix of salt. Therefore sugar cravings are the body’s needs for salt, not sugar. And I suggest that sugar is an acid of cellular transformation – a waste product – not a product of energy by a by-product of what the body truly uses which is electrical potential in the form of electrons.


The body doesn’t use carbohydrates, the body uses electrons to run. The body is electrical. And sugar is nothing more than a waste product of cellular breakdown and transformation. Isn’t that what happens to the banana? As the banana moves from irritation to inflammation to induration and then to cancer, going from green to yellow to brown getting its “liver spots” the same way you get liver spots, through excess fermentation and rotting. We do not say the banana has cancer, we say the banana is spoiling. In the same way we shouldn’t say that the lung has cancer but rather that the lung is spoiling – it is cancerous. Cancer is not a noun but an adjective expressing the process of cellular transformation. Again, sugar is the waste product. In fact, that’s why it gets sweeter and sweeter as it ferments. Consistently in my research I see that we have a release of sugar from the breakdown of tissue. And to overcome sugar craving we don’t have to eat sugar, we need to eat more salt. And the secondary metabolites of this primary acid or sugar are acetaldehyde and ethanol alcohol. So cravings are the body’s signal that the body needs more sustainable energy. We need energy to remove the acids of metabolism – the body utilizing electrons for energy purposes. Food, drinks, sun, minerals, vitamins, drugs… are common choices made by us to achieve sustainable energy, but yet what we’re looking for are the electrons from these sources. And our choices will determine whether or not our cravings will lead to true sustainable energy which maintains the integrity of the fluids of body and therefore the integrity of the tissues, or gives us false energy which creates this over-acidic state that leads to latent tissue acidosis which begins the process of spoiling of the tissue.


Sugar stimulates and gives the body a deceptive quick-fix – it’s illusionary – whereas salt provides the matrix and gives our body the rise in sustainable energy, over a long period of time, without the high and extreme lows that come from eating an acid – whether it be sugar or any other acidic foods or drinks.


It is the skin that suffers, because if the body can’t eliminate the acids that are created through energy consumption, it throws them out of the tissues and into the lymphatic system, and that’s why the lymphatic system is so critical in the prevention of cancer and in the treatment of cancer, because it is the lymphatic system that is the vacuum cleaner of the acids that are in the interstitial fluids of the body, pulling these acids out in order to maintain the integrity of the tissue through diaphramic breathingand perspiration (that is if we’re perspiring, which is one of the most important things we need to do on a daily basis). If we can’t eliminate our acids through urination then our body urinates through the skin – which is why there is over a million cases of skin cancer a year in the United States and probably you didn’t even know that. It’s not talked about. Why? Because the etiology of skin cancer is not understood. It is unknown. Scientists don’t know what causes basal cell carcinoma, melanoma, they do not understand it because they don’t understand latent tissue acidosis and the importance of the lymphatic system as the vacuum cleaner to move the acids out via the kidneys and through perspiration. But we’re not exercising, and this is why obesity and a lack of exercise have been associated with cancer – yet when we’re moving our body we’re moving the acids out of the tissue because the lymphatic system, unlike the circulatory system, does not have a pump (the heart), it actually flows through movement. It is the diaphragm muscle that acts as a pump for the lymphatic system that moves the acids through the system – out through perspiration or back in the general circulation to be eliminated through urination.


If you don’t want cancer, if you wan to prevent it, you have to pee or eliminate your acids through urination or perspiration. And if you are a cancer sufferer you have to pee your way to health. Because cancer is not a cell, but a poisoning acidic liquid. A cancer cell is a cell that is spoiled or poisoned by the metabolic acids and gastrointestinal acids that are produced internally, or may be breathed in. That’s when the body goes into protection mode by forming fibrous materials which cross-link to encapsulate the spoiled cells and thus forming the tumour. Hence tumour is the body’s protective mechanism to encapsulate spoiled or poisoned cells from excess acids which have not been properly eliminated through urination, perspiration, defecation, and respiration. The tumour is the body’s solution to protect healthy cells and tissues. So the tumour is not the problem. Let the tumour go. Let it do its job. The focus must be placed not on the tumour but on the environment around the tumour which is full of acids, and one of the common acids which is in higher concentration around all tumours that are in an acidic body is lactic acid, because lactic acid is a by-product of sugar metabolism when we’re in a state of oxygen deprivation. So cancer is a system acidic condition that settles in the weakest parts of the body, not a local problem that metastasizes. You see metastasis is localized acids that spoil other cells much like a rotten apple spoiling the bushel of other healthy apples.


There is no such thing as a cancer cell. A cancer cell is in reality a cancerous cell, it’s an adjective expressing the spoiling cell that’s spoiling in an over-acidic environment. A cancerous cell was once a healthy cell that has been spoiled from an over-acidic lifestyle and diet and the body’s inability to move these acids through the proper channels of elimination. The only solution to the acidic liquids that poison our body cells causing the effect that medical doctors call cancer, is to change the environment. It has to be a contextual approach. We must maintain the alkaline design of the human body. This has been the great discovery of the 21st century – that the human organism is alkaline by design (every part that makes up every anatomical element that makes up our genetic material that makes up our cells, every single part has to be bathed in an alkaline fluid which needs to be changed every 48 hours).


Early in the 19th century, beginning on January 17, 1912, a famous French physiologist of the Rockefeller Institute and Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Alexis Carrel, removed a very small piece of heart muscle from an unhatched chicken embryo—still warm and living—and placed it in fresh nutrient solution in a glass flask of his design. He transferred the tissue every forty-eight hours, during which time it doubled in size and had to be trimmed before being moved to its new flask. And every time he moved it he would put it into an alkaline saline solution with the appropriate alkalizing minerals. Thirty years later the tissue was still growing. Keep in mind that the average chicken lives for 5 – 7 years. So after getting bored of singing “Happy Birthday” to the chicken heart for over thirty years he decided to pull the plug and not change the fluids every 48 hours and the heart died.


This is a very important discovery which very few people know about because it answers the question about why cells live. You see, the life expectancy of the human cell is infinite. It just becomes compromised. Once we understand that matter cannot be created nor can it be destroyed it can only change its form or function, then we realize that the environment is everything, the terrain is everything, and the cell is subservient to that. The secret to Dr. Carrel’s chicken heart surviving for thirty years lies in this knowledge, this new biology, this new way of living and thinking as we expand the box not think outside the box, that the cell is only as healthy as the fluids it is bathed in. The heart is only as healthy as the cells. If you have lung cancer, that is an expression of the environment. And the cell as it’s breaking down is the smoke of the gun.


Carrel’s experiment brought us to the modern new biology, the new understanding, the new expansion, and the new definition of cancer – that the composition of our body fluids that bath the outside of our cells must be controlled very carefully from moment to moment and day to day with no single important constituent varying more than a few percent. This can be controlled and you can do it yourself!


In 1932 Otto Warburg received his Nobel Prize in medicine for discovering the cause of cancer. He described it as a cell changing its mode of respiration, its mode of metabolism – from respiration to fermentation. He suggested that cancer was the result of acidic environment, a state of oxygen deprivation. Warburg also wrote a paper entitled, “The Prime Cause and Prevention of Cancer.” He states: “There is no disease whose prime cause is better known. Over acidity.”


When we understand this we realize that all conditions of cancer potentially can be reversed if the treatments are focused on the fluids not the cell. Therefore it doesn’t matter what the cancer is, because cancer is not the cause but the effect of an over-acidic lifestyle and diet which is the cause. It’s the person pulling the lifestyle and dietary trigger.


After 25 years of doing blood research, after looking at thousands and thousands of cancer patients, I’ve never seen healthy blood or an alkaline environment – whether testing the pH of the saliva, or the urine, or the blood, or the sweat, or the tears – they are all acidic in an over-acidic environment. And after 25 years I’ve learned that the human organism is alkaline by design and acidic by function, and if we but maintain this alkaline design of our body through an alkaline lifestyle and diet we will prevent all cancers. For the cure of cancer is not found in its treatment, because again cancer or a cancerous condition is the body in preservation mode trying to maintain alkalinity, so the cure is going to be found not in its treatment of the tissue but in maintaining the alkaline design of the human fluids of the body. As Thomas Edison said: “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will involve the patient in the proper use of food, fresh air and exercise.”
