2. stores necessary vitamins and minerals

3. creates bile to break down fats

4. filters harmful toxins and chemicals

5. stores extra blood

6. break down excess hormones

7. creates immune substances such as gamma globulin

– too much simple carbohydrates

– eating too much enzyme deficient food

– too much alcohol and drugs (medicinal and recreational)

cleansing the blood

The quality of your blood depends on your emotional state and the quality of the food you eat. Many people go through coronary bypasses and many complications from the procedure have been reported.

There are alternatives

chelation therapy has been reported to improve the health and condition of cardiovascular system in a quite dramatic way. Oral chelation formulas such as malice acid, coriander (cilantro) and cysteine have been tested as effective.

PH level of blood

A balaned PH level of all of our bodily fluids is vital. ( see other section about alkalinity) . When we consume too much acid producing foods the body needs to neutralise it. It cannot eliminate acids through the kidneys, so it will have to steal minerals from anywhere to balance the blood PH level. Saliva is usually the first place and then the body will begin taking minerals such as calcium form the bones.

make sure to have abundance of alkalising foods (green vegetables, lemon, low sugar fruits) to maintain a proper PH.

look at your lifestyle. highly stressed people are usually acidic in their  blood.
