Wellness Programs & Educational Information

Hi, my name is Heidi Dolce and I’m the founder of Wellness Concepts. I care about your health and want to share with you information about your body’s pH levels, how to balance your body’s pH, information about osteoporosis and how to prevent osteoporosis. Only with the correct information can you make the correct lifestyle choices to allow your body to be in balance.

Why Are pH Levels Important?

Our bodies have a natural system to keep ourselves healthy; we detoxify. However, with the lifestyles we lead today, our bodies are loaded down with too many acids from food, drinks, pollution, drugs, pesticides, chemicals, poor diet, animal fats, waxy residues and even soap. Physical, mental or emotional overexertion can cause stress which also causes our bodies to be too acidic. These acids build up in our body and cause our pH levels to be out of balance. Our pores clog so the toxins can’t escape and we can’t detoxify fast enough.

Think of your body pH like the pH in a pool or fish tank. When it is acidic, fungus and algae grow and fish get sick or die. When the pH is balanced, the pool or tank is clean, and fish are healthy and disease free. The same thing happens with the pH in your body chemistry.

Our pH levels maintain balance in our body and when we are out of balance an array of health problems begin to occur, we continue to get more problems and they continue to worsen if nothing is done. Your pH is your level of acidity versus alkalinity in your body and it needs to be balanced for normal body function. Your pH should be at 7 on a scale from 0-14.

Many health problems can be caused by excessive acids and the body’s inability to detoxify them. Some of these health problems include: allergies, sinusitis, diabetes, liver/gallbladder problems, stroke, osteoporosis, tooth decay, hair loss, kidney and gallstones, skin damage, rashes, shingles, abscesses, syndromes, disorders, rare conditions and even cancer.

Why is Excessive Acid a Problem?

The acids cause reactions in your chemistry that create cholesterol, fatty acids, stones, and crystals which cause various health problems. The acids also cause your body chemistry to be unbalanced and that inhibits normal function while causing your body to compensate, hinder your immune system and cause stress on non-essential organs. This all starts on the cellular level.

Everything we put in and on our bodies affects our body chemistry and our pH level. Many health problems and major illnesses are linked to unbalanced pH, reduced oxygen, and mineral deficiency. When our bodies are too acidic they will leech alkaline substances from the body such as calcium, potassium and magnesium to maintain balance as well as hold on to fat to protect vital parts (causing obesity) and as a last resort our bodies dump acids into various organs leading to numerous health problems.

Follow a Simple 6-Step pH Balancing Program

1) It is simple and inexpensive to measure your pH levels. Do it yourself by Using pH stix to test your saliva or urine (First thing in the morning is best, before food or drink, for most accurate results).

2) Adjust your diet to reduce or avoid acid forming foods and eat more alkaline forming foods.

Eat 5-7 small meals a day, eat slowly and chew your food completely before swallowing (until it is like baby food).
Acidic Forming= meats (beef, pork, poultry, fish), eggs, dairy, refined sugar, white flour products, white rice, coffee, soft drinks, alcohol, and over the counter drugs.
Alkaline Forming= fruits, vegetables and juices (fresh squeezed or natural bottled such as "odwalla" carrot juice in the refrigerated section). Only 100% juice or the closest to fresh squeezed as you can (no added sugar). Also, whole grains, brown rice, beans and soy (tofu,miso,soybeans). A Vitamineral greens supplement daily is also recommended.
Avoid fried or processed foods, foods with fillers or additives and only use oils that are cold or expeller pressed.

Note: Acid or Alkaline forming refers to the chemical process it goes to once ingested, not the state it is in before consumption.

3) Drink lots of water (bottled spring water is best, but drink what you can and lots of it.) Add 7+ Drops of Miracle II Neutralizer to 8-12 oz. of water, adjust as necessary. (This will help neutralize your acids internally.)

4) Take baths (shower if you don’t like baths) in Miracle II Soap. Add 2 oz. Miracle II Neutralizer and 1 oz. Miracle II soap to bath water and soak 30+ minutes daily (adjust frequency as you get better). This will strip off all the waxes and residues and clean out your pores, while allowing your skin to soak up the minerals and neutralize externally.

5) Apply Miracle II Neutralizer Gel to any problem areas. (This will help neutralize specific areas with acid problems, i.e. rashes, sore muscles and tooth pain.)

6) Limit the chemicals in your life or avoid them completely. Be aware of the chemicals you internally and externally ingest. Use all natural cleaning, health and hygiene products, and eat organic foods in the most natural state possible.

Persistence is the key. You may feel bad as you detoxify because your body is releasing all the toxins (healing crisis). Just drink more water and get some rest. It all depends on your body and your problems, however most people see some sign of results fairly soon.

How strict you are with the program is up to you. Follow the program as best as you can. Make sure it fits into your lifestyle. People with more health problems should follow it more closely. It can take months to fully heal. So remember; it has taken a long time to get your body that way so it will take some time to fully return to normal. This is not a miracle cure; it is a program to bring your body into a state where it can heal itself as it was designed to.

What Causes Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis is a silent disease causing low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue leading to fragile bones and increasing the risk of fracture. It can strike at any age and recent studies show 1 in 3 Americans will get it. Since there are no symptoms or signs until a fracture occurs, the only way to know you have it is to get a Bone Density test (BMD). This test will show you where your Bone Density is at so you can develop a program based on your results or adjust your current program.

There are many factors that lead to osteoporosis, but the main cause is lack of minerals (mainly calcium) in your bones and most importantly, lack of calcium absorption. Other factors contribute to osteoporosis such as medications, race, hormones, family history and small frames. Too few minerals in our soil, pesticides in our crops and chemicals in our packaged foods also contribute to the problem.

Some of the factors that lead to osteoporosis, like hereditary, we can not control. However, there are other factors like excessive alcohol intake, smoking, bad diet, caffeine, carbonated soda and high acid levels (pH) that we do have almost complete control over. There are things you can do to treat and prevent osteoporosis.

7-Step Osteoporosis Prevention Program

1) Take a Bone Density Test to find out your BMD (bone mineral density)

2) Balance pH levels, this will make a big difference! (see pH levels educational information)

3) Eliminate all factors you have control over (or reduce them greatly)

Caffeine
Carbonated Soda
Smoking
Excessive alcohol
Bad Diet

4) Eat Calcium rich foods

Broccoli, green vegetables
Greens, Kale (dark leafy), spinach
Brussel Sprouts
Beans (Pinto, Black, Navy, Kidney & Garbanzo Beans)
Fish
Soy products (tofu)

5) Do weight bearing exercise and exercise regularly (weight bearing means with resistance, you don’t have to be a power lifter)

6) Take a highly absorbable easily digested calcium supplement (liquid or liquid caps is best) Our "WaterOz Calcium" and "Water of Life" are excellent.

7) Don't consume dairy products; it actually contributes to bone LOSS not gain. See the links below for more information:
