Acidic Body, Inflammation and Disease

By Dr S V Bulatov – registered homeopath

The body’s acid/alkaline balance is kept in a specific range by various homeostatic mechanisms.

The pH of the blood is kept between 7.35 and 7.45, average of 7.40. Any slight shift of the pH, up or down, has severe consequences for the whole body.

Even a slight imbalance of your blood pH can make you sick, irritable, and uncomfortable. Some of the common symptoms for metabolic and respiratory alkalosis are: General confusion. Tremors.

A doctor evaluates a person's acid-base balance by measuring the pH and levels of carbon dioxide (an acid) and bicarbonate (a base) in the blood.

Initial signs of body tissue acidity include:

• Feeling weak, tired and having low energy
• Experiencing agitation, anxiety, panic attacks and depression
• Having skin problems like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and hives
• Suffering generalized aches and pain
• Experiencing diarrhoea, constipation, or bloating
• Suffering from cramping before or during periods
• Experiencing heartburn
• Needing more sleep
• Having increased dental decay
• Feeling nauseous
• Suffering from loss of libido

Signs of long-term body acidity are far more serious and include:

• Osteoporosis
• Weak immune system
• Chronic digestive problems
• Arthritis, joint, and ligament problems
• Kidney stones, kidney diseases, and gout
• Heart and circulation problems
• Fungal and bacterial infections
• Cancers
• Acidosis

Excess acidity is a condition that weakens all body systems. Excess acidity forces the body to borrow minerals, including calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium from vital organs, bones, and teeth to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. As a result, the body can suffer severe and prolonged corrosion due to high acidity, a condition that may go undetected for years. Acidosis leads to serious problems with major organs such as the liver, heart, or kidneys.

An Acidic Body Leads to Weight Gain and Diabetes

An acidic pH may result in weight-related problems, such as diabetes and obesity. When our body is too acidic, we suffer from a condition known as insulin resistance. This insulin resistance forces excessive insulin to be produced in order to maintain healthy blood glucose levels. As a result, the body is flooded with so much insulin that it diligently converts every calorie into fat.

It is very likely that an acid pH from an imbalanced diet produces a condition which stimulates the predetermined genetic response to starvation and famine. Thereafter, the body will have to increasingly hoard every calorie consumed and store it as fat.

Some people reckon that an acid pH immediately signals the powerful genetic response to an impending famine, directly interpreting with the all-important and very sensitive Insulin-Glucagon Axis. When this happens, it makes the body produce more insulin than usual, and in turn, produce more fats and store them.

On the other hand, a healthy and slightly alkaline pH will yield normal fat-burning metabolic activities, making no demands on the body to produce extra insulin and make fats. As such, this allows fat to be burned and naturally lost. A healthy pH diet is also less likely to have any yo-yo effects or cause diet rebounding with additional weight gain.

We should try to maintain a healthy slightly alkaline pH so as to allow fats to be burnt normally for energy, rather than hoarded and stored under our body’s mistaken biochemical belief of an impending famine.

Acidosis Disrupts Insulin-Producing Pancreatic Beta Cells

The beta cells in the pancreas are responsible for making insulin, the endocrine hormone that controls blood glucose levels. These beta cells are especially sensitive to pH and cannot survive if the body is too acidic. 

When this occurs, beta cells will lose phase with one another. Their cellular communication will be thwarted, and the body’s immune system will start to over-respond. Stress within the cells will increase, making it more difficult for them to perform adequately and survive. The result is increased likelihood of type 2 diabetes, as well as other dangerous symptoms of insulin resistance, including higher risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

Body Acidity Accelerates Free Radical Damage and Premature Aging

Acidosis leads to partial lipid breakdown and destructive oxidative cascades, accelerating free radical damage of cell walls and intracellular membrane structures. In the process, many healthy cells are destroyed.

Acidosis is the first step towards premature aging and accelerated oxidative cascades of cell wall destruction. Signs of acidosis may include wrinkling, age spots, and failing hormonal systems, interfering with eyesight, memory, and a host of other age-related phenomena. Long-term high acidity in the body also interferes with proper detoxification, and unwanted wastes not properly eliminated from the body actually poison the cells.

Acidosis Disrupts Lipid and Fatty Acid Metabolism

Healthy levels of fatty acids such as omega-3s are crucial to fighting inflammation and maintaining a healthy heart, brain, and circulatory system. Acidosis generally disrupts lipid and fatty acid absorption. This disruption may cause neurological problems, as well as problems with hormonal balance within the endocrine system.

An acidic environment also causes LDL-cholesterol to be laid down at an accelerated rate in the heart, inappropriately lining and clogging up the vascular network. In other words, an acid pH initiates electrostatic potential, damaging arterial walls, which in turn initiates a PDGF-dependent immune response, causing cholesterol oxidation and the formation of plaque with heavy metals.

High Acidity Corrodes Arteries, Veins, and Heart Tissues

Like acid eating into marble, acidosis erodes and eats into cell wall membranes of the heart, arteries, and veins. During this process of erosion, our heart structures and interconnective tissues are weakened.

All living tissues are sensitive to their chemical environment. The muscle cells of the heart are no different. The entire cardiovascular system is directly affected by blood plasma pH and works as one large working system of tubular muscles to carry blood and nutrients to all living tissue in the body. The pumping of the heart drives blood through the arteries, veins, and capillary beds and helps to regulate blood pressure and the flow of blood circulation.

The heart is normal when the pH of blood plasma is slightly alkaline, having a pH of 7.35 to 7.41. When the heart plasma rises to an acidic pH of more than 7.35, it gradually erodes away the smooth muscle tissues of the inner walls of the arteries and veins, as well as the heart itself. This process will start to weaken the structural composition of the heart and arterial and venous walls, causing lesions and microscopic tearing throughout its framework.

At the same time, an acid pH destabilizes free ionic balances within circulation, increasing the populations of positively charged particles (cations, an ion with a positive charge of electricity: H, Ca) which directly interfere with the muscle contractility (contraction and relaxation) of the heart and arteries.

Acid pH changes of blood are now thought to result in the following:

1. Development of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
2. Aneurysm (widening and ballooning of artery walls)
3. Arrhythmias (abnormal rhythms of the heart including tachycardia)
4. Myocardial infarction (heart attacks)
5. Strokes (a cardiovascular accident)

The structural weakening of the cardio vascularity also creates irregularities of blood pressure, which further exacerbate the above problems.

Acidosis Alters Energy Metabolism and Energy Reserves

When your body has an acidic pH, it will prevent efficient cellular and body metabolism. In turn, this can cause issues with electrolyte balance, energy, and recovery. Long-term, this same type of acidosis can also weaken bones and muscle tissue and lead to osteoporosis. The mechanism by which this occurs is complex, but there is value in understanding it.

As previously explained, acidosis results in chemical ionic disturbances, interfering with cellular communications and functions. Acidosis reduces positive calcium binding of plasma proteins, therefore reducing the effectiveness of this intracellular signal. 

When cells are not communicating properly, it can disrupt crucial functions, including the beating of our hearts, the way our cells use energy, and how well our bodies support healthy tissue. Acidosis can lead to a reduction of cardiac contractility, or the ability of the heart to pump efficiently and rhythmically.

Like our bodies, our cells also have a pump that drives activity and life, though on a microscopic scale! Positive calcium and hydrogen regulate the activities of intracellular proteins and are driven out of the cells by the “Sodium-Potassium Pump” (Na-K pump). 

This pump provides a strong incentive for sodium to be driven into cells. It also regulates the amount of both sodium and potassium in the body stores and uses as much as 25 percent of our caloric input daily. Sodium and potassium are important electrolytes that help regulate our most essential systems, including brain and muscular activity. When they are out of balance, it has a detrimental effect on our ability to create and use energy.

In addition to the immediate issues posed by irregular cardiac or mental performance, there are also long-term repercussions. In acidic solutions, fewer positive sodium ions are available, therefore slowing down the processing and induction of nutritional items going into the cells. As a result, with free positive calcium populations and channels being disrupted, calcium may become inordinately leached from the bone masses. This causes osteoporosis. 

In a nutshell, an acidic pH drains us of energy and disallows stored energy reserves to be used. It can also cause the degradation of bone and muscle.

High Acidity Slows the Delivery of Oxygen to Cells

Acidosis reduces oxygen in the blood. As all living tissues, especially the heart and brain, need oxygen to function, a lack of it will lead to eventual death. Having an acidic pH will reduce the amount of oxygen that is delivered to the cells, and they will eventually die.

Scientists estimate between 60 and 84 billion cells die each day in the human body, and one of the body’s primary functions is to repair and regenerate cells to maintain regular function. The increased cell death caused by acidosis poses a real threat to longevity and can increase the likelihood of numerous serious conditions and disease processes.

Symptoms and Diseases Associated with Acidosis

What then happens when the body is too acidic? An acidic balance will:

• Decrease the body’s ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients
• Decrease energy production in the cells
• Decrease the body’s ability to repair damaged cells
• Decrease the body’s ability to detoxify heavy metals
• Enable tumor cells to thrive
• Make the body more susceptible to fatigue and illness

Some people who have high acidity levels tend to exhibit symptoms such as: 

• Anxiety
• Diarrhea
• Dilated pupils
• Extroverted behavior
• Fatigue in the early morning
• Headaches
• Hyperactivity
• Hyper sexuality
• Insomnia
• Nervousness
• Rapid heartbeat
• Restless legs
• Shortness of breath
• Strong appetite
• High blood pressure
• Warm, dry hands and feet

How Does the Body Become Acidic?

Acidosis typically develops as a result of multiple environmental and lifestyle factors. Most of the time, the body becomes acidic due to:

• A diet rich in acids
• Emotional stress
• Toxic overload
• Immune reactions
• Any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients

When this happens, the body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals such as calcium. As a result, calcium is removed from the bones, causing osteoporosis. Acidosis, which is an extended time in the acid pH state, can result in rheumatoid arthritis, type 2 diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis, high blood pressure, and most cancers.

Two main factors leading to cancer are an acidic pH and a lack of oxygen. As such, are we able to manipulate these two factors so as to prevent and control cancer? Everyone knows that cancer needs an acidic and low oxygen environment to survive and flourish. Research has proven that terminal cancer patients have an acidity level of 1,000 times more than normal healthy people. The vast majority of terminal cancer patients have a very acidic pH.

Why is this so? The reason is simple. Without oxygen, glucose undergoing fermentation becomes lactic acid. This causes the pH of the cell to drop to 7.0. In more advanced cancer cases, the pH level falls further to 6.5. Sometimes, the level can even fall to 6.0 and 5.7 or lower. The basic truth is that our bodies simply cannot fight diseases if our pH is not properly balanced.

The Long-Term Effects of Living with Excess Acid

Now that we understand the process by which excess acid affects the body, it’s important to learn the signs, symptoms, and effect of acidosis in each of the body’s primary systems. 

Structural System

The calcium stored in bones is released when serum and soft tissue calcium is decreased, binding and neutralizing excess acid in the tissues. This initial calcium depletion in the muscle can cause muscle cramps. 

As calcium is pulled from the bones to neutralize more acid, the bone stores of calcium become depleted causing osteoporosis, weakened and collapsed vertebrae and, often, poor posture and back pain. The calcium mobilized from the bones gets deposited as calcium-acid salts in the joints, leading to degenerative arthritis.

Nervous System

When brain cells are too acidic, they don’t function correctly. This results in the inability to produce the appropriate chemicals (neurotransmitters) to communicate with adjacent brain cells. 

This can result in insomnia, anxiety, depression, neuroses, psychoses, and impairment of memory. Since the brain is supposed to communicate through the spinal cord and other nerves to every cell in the body (heart cells, intestinal cells, muscle cells, glandular cells, etc.), every body system can dysfunction if the nervous system is not functioning optimally due to acidic imbalance.

Circulatory System

During conditions of excessive acidity, bacteria, fungi, and/or viruses can attach themselves to the inner wall of arteries. This then attracts white blood cells, clotting proteins, clotting cells, etc. to the area. This may cause a plaque to form in the artery, thus narrowing the artery and restricting the flow of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the tissues supplied by that artery. 

If the coronary artery is involved, a heart attack can occur. If excess acidity is present, calcium, which was mobilized out of the bone to buffer the acid, can deposit in the arterial plaque, thus converting the plaque from soft to hard. The plaque makes the arteries stiff, which can cause an increase in blood pressure.

Digestive System

When the pH is too acidic, the cells lining the stomach and small intestine, along with the cells in the pancreas that are responsible for producing and releasing digestive enzymes, don’t function correctly. This results in indigestion, gas, bloating, and abdominal cramping. 

If a sufficient amount of nutrients is not being absorbed by the body from food, the entire body can experience malnutrition. Undigested foods may also ferment in the intestines causing toxicity. The resulting nutrient deficiencies, bowel disorders, and leaky gut can cause a host of additional health problems.

Intestinal System

Excessive acidity causes the cells of the colon to dysfunction, which can result in diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, constipation, or diverticulitis. A disturbed acid balance in the colon can also cause unfriendly microbes to grow and thrive, which can result in SIFO/SIBO, colitis, inflammatory bowel disease (including Crohn’s), or hemorrhoids.

Immune System

Immune cells that are too acidic do not produce antibodies or cytokines (chemical messengers to regulate other immune cells), and they have impaired phagocytosis (the ability to engulf and destroy microbes). As a result, the affected individual becomes susceptible to viral, bacterial, and fungal microbes, as well as cancer.

Respiratory System

The binding of oxygen to hemoglobin in the lungs operates in a fairly narrow pH range. If the pH is too acidic, microbes in the airways can grow much more easily, invade human cells, cause bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, etc., and in doing so, can result in cough, bronchial spasms (asthma), and increased susceptibility to allergens (hay fever).

Urinary System

The urinary system helps to eliminate toxic waste products from the body. Women have bacteria and/or fungi in their bladders because of their shorter urethra, which connects the urinary bladder to the exterior of the body. These microbes can grow rapidly if the urine’s pH is not in the proper range. In excessive acidic conditions, calcium, which is mobilized from the bone to buffer the acid, can form calcium crystals and stones in the kidney’s collection system.

Endocrine and Glandular System

All of the endocrine glands produce hormones through enzymatic action. If the pH is too acidic, the glandular cells cannot produce and release sufficient hormones for the body’s needs. This results in mood swings, blood sugar imbalances, fatigue, reproductive difficulties, and more.

Weight Loss

When the pH is too acidic, the metabolic enzymes inside the cells do not work efficiently, which impairs the proper breakdown of fats. High acidity also causes insulin resistance, which in turn can cause fat gain and impair the body’s ability to burn fat correctly.

BIOCHEMISTRY AND METABOLIC CONVERSION OF FOOD

All meats, poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs, milk, yogurt, cheese, nuts, seeds, beans convert to PROTEINS and are metabolized to AMINO ACIDS.

All fruits, vegetables, salads, sprouts, juices, starches, grains, cereals, flours, breads, pastas, ice cream convert to CARBOHYDRATES and are metabolized to GLUCOSE or FRUCTOSE.

All plant oils, animal fat, cream, butter, ghee, avocado, olives and coconut convert to FATS and are metabolized to FATTY ACIDS.

NO DRINK, FOOD, MINERAL OR SUPPLEMENT HAS AN ABSOLUTE pH VALUE!!!

THIS WILL BE DETERMINED ACCORDING TO THE METABOLIC TYPE AND MICROBIOLOGICAL TERRAIN!!!

FRUITS, VEGETABLES AND SALADS ALKALIZE AUTONOMIC TYPES AND ACIDIFY CARBO-OXIDATIVE TYPES!!!

MEATS ACIDIFY AUTONOMIC TYPES AND ALKALIZE CARBO-OXIDATIVE TYPES!!!

The above information might be confusing for those that are convinced that every food has an absolute pH value.  There are many charts with acid, alkaline and neutral foods. Do not refer to them anymore.

Accept the dominance factor table as your reference.  Then you will know the reaction of each food in different metabolic types.

The pH is determined by a dynamic interaction between the food and the body fluids of different metabolic types.

The presence of bacterium, fungus and mould will acidify mixed types.  The acidic types will become very acidic.  The alkaline types will not be affected.

The foods will interact differently with each metabolic type when there is a bacterial, fungal or mould infection.  When the infection is cured the metabolic type will return back to the original homeostatic control.

During the observation and questionnaire, the fundamental metabolic type will transpire. There will be other characteristics that will not fit into the picture.

Then we need to determine the subdominant and sub-subdominant metabolic type. This will give us the mosaic that describes each person at the time of consultation. We need to go with the obvious and prominent characteristics.

For an example: sympathetic, subtype 2, slow oxidizer, O blood type, thyroid type, sanguine temperament, KP.

Another combination is: parasympathetic, subtype 2, fast oxidizer, A blood type, adrenal type, phlegmatic temperament, VK.

We need to look at temporary imbalances, microbiological terrain and other enemies to an optimal health. These need to be corrected and cured.

The picture could change in 2-4 weeks. Then the individual should be re-assessed.

CHANGE OF METABOLIC TYPE

The metabolic type could be covered by 2-3 or more layers.

It would be prominent again after few weeks or months.

The following things could change the metabolic type:

1. Emotional trauma: shock, fright, grief, loss, anger, disappointment, shame, embarrassment, confusion, guilt, jealousy etc.
2. Generational curse, witchcraft and demonic attacks.
3. Lack of breastfeeding.
4. Addiction: smoking, alcohol, drugs, coffee, chocolate, coca cola, sugar, Red Bull, Bioplus, sweeteners, sugar free/diet/energy drinks, etc.
5. Some medicines and electro-convulsive therapy.
6. Head or spinal injury.
7. Blood transfusion.
8. Stomach, intestine, spleen and gall bladder operation.
9. Diet pills: appetite suppressants, fat burners/trappers, laxatives, etc.
10. Oral contraception, injection, copper T, Mirena and HRT.
11. Pregnancy.
12. Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS).
13. Coma.
14. Fanatical belief system.
15. Heart, liver and kidney failure, hepatitis, cancer, emphysema, cirrhosis, TB, HIV/AIDS, gonorrhea, syphilis, diabetes, auto-immune diseases.
16. Poisonings.
17. Allergies.
18. Vaccinations.
19. Excessive use of wrong supplements.
20. Genetic diseases.
21. Heavy metals: mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, arsenic, etc.

After the assessment an eating plan and supplementation should be worked out.  Then the fine-tuning process starts.  The person observes how his/her body reacts to the program and reports back.  Within 1-2 weeks there are a lot of signs showing whether the program is working or not.

This is a dynamic flexible classification that would assist lifetime.

It would save you many trials and errors.  It would be extremely rewarding for both sides.  It could be applied in any life situation with great success.

May Yahweh and Yeshua guide you on this exciting journey.

Stay with clear mind and open heart to become an unprejudiced observer that does not miss any detail.

Observation of eyes, facial features, expression, tongue, voice, odour, ears, hands, nails, feet, pulse, body shape and handwriting for a few minutes reveals much more information than a conversation with a person for a few hours.

Be empowered and enlightened to help yourself and your fellow beings at your best level.

Over acidity in sympathetic types and fast oxidizers is part of their metabolism.  It is increased by bacterial, fungal and mould infection.  It creates an internal environment conducive for a disease.

The mixed types could become acidic because of bacterial, fungal and mould infection.  Otherwise, they are neutral.

The parasympathetic types and slow oxidizers are always ALKALINE!

A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves.  When excess acids should be neutralized the alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in weakened condition.

Dr William Howard Hay published a book in 1933. He stated that: “All diseases are caused by autointoxication due to ACID accumulation in the body”.  He did not specify though which metabolic types are affected by over acidity.  According to him everybody could become over acidic.  This is not true!!!

Unfortunately, all authors after him took that statement as an absolute truth. 

pH (potential of hydrogen) is a measure of acidity or alkalinity of the solution.  It is measured on a scale of 0 to 14.  The lower the pH the more acidic is the solution.

The higher the pH the more alkaline is the solution.  When the pH is 7 the solution is neither acidic nor alkaline.  It is neutral.

The body maintains acid/alkaline balance between positively charged ions – H+ - (acid-forming) and negatively charged ions – OH- (alkaline-forming).

Test saliva and urine pH with litmus paper one hour before and two hours after a meal. Both should be 6.4.  If the reading is under 6.4 there is an over acidity.

Live blood analysis and dark field microscopy are very good indicators of an acidic level.

Over acidity forces the body to borrow potassium, magnesium, sodium and calcium from vital organs and bones.  This process cannot be detected with conventional blood tests. It can damage the body for many years.  Many symptoms will arise.

Sympathetic types deplete their tissues and organs from potassium and magnesium.

Fast oxidizers deplete their tissues and organs from sodium and calcium.

The body cannot assimilate minerals, vitamins and other nutrients if the pH is imbalanced.  Stress is the quickest way to create over acidity in sympathetic types and fast oxidizers!!!

Aspartame is extremely acid forming! It is extremely dangerous for sympathetic types and fast oxidizers.

All refined foods create over acidity in sympathetic types and fast oxidizers.

Acid/alkaline food charts apply for autonomic dominant types but not for oxidative dominant types!!!

Fruits (if there is no bacterial, fungal and mould infection), vegetables, salads, fresh lemon juice, fresh vegetable juices, bicarbonate of soda, potassium, magnesium, zinc, chromium, manganese, selenium, hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes, vitamin B (if there is no bacterial, fungal and mould infection), vitamin C, apple cider vinegar (if there is no bacterial, fungal and mould infection) ALKALIZE sympathetic types (positive balancing reaction) and parasympathetic types (negative imbalancing reaction).

Meats, fats, salt, calcium, phosphorus, zinc, boron, iodine, choline, inositol, vitamin B5 (if there is no bacterial, fungal and mould infection), vitamin E, acetyl coenzyme A, bicarbonate of soda ALKALIZE fast oxidizers (positive balancing reaction) and slow oxidizers (negative imbalancing reaction).

Fruits, vegetables, salads, vegetable juices, meat, poultry, fish, eggs, bicarbonate of soda, vitamins and minerals have a neutral reaction in mixed types unless there is bacterial, fungal or mould infection (acidic shift).

An alkalizing of parasympathetic types and slow oxidizers creates OVER ALKALINITY which causes many diseases.

That is why alkalizing the body should be done according to the metabolic type and microbiological terrain.

ACIDS IN HUMAN BODY

The human body uses and produces acids as part of its normal metabolism.  The DNA, RNA, amino acids, folic acid and fatty acids are excluded.

During every second of our lives, countless biochemical reactions occur in the human metabolism, in which fats, proteins and carbohydrates are consumed to produce energy.  These processes are catalyzed by enzymes, which can only work flawlessly in the presence of certain optimum pH values within our cells.  These values vary from organ to organ.  As acid metabolites constantly accrue during cell metabolism, a finely-attuned interplay between various buffer systems ensures that the physiological pH value is nevertheless accurately maintained.  During normal metabolic processes, the following (often acidic) metabolites are formed:

Carbonic acid, also known as carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), formed during aerobic combustion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats;

Sulphuric acid, formed during the breakdown of amino acid containing sulphur;

Phosphoric acid, formed during the breakdown of glucose phosphate structures by nucleic acids;

Uric acid, during the breakdown of purines;

Ammonium ions, or ammonia, formed during the breakdown of pyrimidines and amino acids.

There is increased acid production when changes in metabolism occur.  For example, lactic acid levels increase in cases of muscle overload, and anaerobic conditions therefore prevail.  Furthermore, large amounts of keto acids are produced as a result of hunger or glucose deficiency, due to the breakdown of fatty acids.  In cases of poorly managed diabetes, this metabolic process can cause a serious condition known as ketoacidosis, whereby the organism perceives disturbances in glucose consumption as glucose deficiency and proceeds to break down fats.

In addition, the intestinal environment has an influence upon acid stress within the organism. If, due to a protein-rich diet, there is a rise in intestinal proteolytic microorganisms and a subsequent shift of pH values to within the alkaline range, microbial metabolites of fecal bacteria can no longer be protonated to ammonium ions and excreted in the feces.  Instead, they are absorbed by the body and have to undergo detoxification in the liver.

There are acids from:

1. Citric acid cycle, metabolic pathways and lungs – pyruvic, citric, acetic, oxalic, alpha keto glutaric, succinic, fumaric, malic, carbonic, phosphoric and sulphuric.
2. Blood, muscles and kidneys – ascorbic, uric, lactic and tartaric.
3. Stomach, liver, gallbladder and intestines – hydrochloric and bile acids (cholic, chenodeoxycholic, deoxycholic and lithocholic)
4. Skin
