Dr. Robert Young author of “The pH Miracle” has shown that fat is actually an over-acidification problem. What does that mean? The body creates fat cells to carry acids away from your vital organs, so these acids literally don’t choke your organs to death. Fat is saving your life! Fat is actually a response from the body to an alarming over-acidic condition. Here are some aspects regarding pH you may find useful. The body’s pH is measured on a scale of 0 – 14.

What is polymyositis?

February 12, 2009

What is polymyositis? Polymyositis is an inflammatory muscle disease that causes muscle weakness. Myositis means inflammation of muscle. Usually, polymyositis affects the muscles that are closest to the trunk of the body. Eventually, people with polymyositis have trouble when rising from a sitting position, climbing stairs, lifting objects, or reaching overhead. In some cases, muscles that are not close to the trunk of the body become affected as the disease progresses. Polymyositis develops gradually over time, and it rarely affects people younger than 18. It is more common in women (by about two to one). If the condition is accompanied by an inflammatory process that strikes the skin as well, it is called dermatomyositis.
