Gastric-intestinal-digestion tract
The most obvious illness caused by acid affect the oesophagus and the stomach.  Heartburn develops through the influence of acid in the lower part of the oesophagus.  The tissue is digested by the gastric juice and these results in extensive ulcers. 

Diagnoses are:  Stomach inflammation, inflammation of the oesophagus, stomach ulcer and duodenal ulcer.

When the pancreas is overstressed and does not function properly, the results are constipation, a bloated feeling, flatulence and a swollen tummy.  Excessive alcohol consumption will damage your liver and less or no alcohol must be taken.  The liver must be assisted in its detoxification process.  Alkaline powder is widely used a a remedy for a hangover, as it fights the acidosis caused by too much alcohol and helps the liver regenerate.

Muscles-joints-spine
Illnesses of the spine, joints and muscles are accompanied to great extent by relatively severe acidosis.  As long as this condition is not remedied, the diseases will recur and for that reason patients with rheumatic diseases often suffer for years.  Gout attack is one of the most painful examples.  Osteoporosis is another typical illness caused by acidosis.

Skin-hair-teeth
Demineralisation of the hair, nails and teeth takes place for similar reasons as osteoporosis.  In most cases an increased zinc consumption can be detected with hair loss and brittle nails.  Dentists report good results from de-acidification therapy.  Excessive acids accumulate in and around skin cells and cause inflammation, which in turn causes psoriasis.  Skin irritation, blemished skin, cellulite, acne is just a few more linked to acidosis.

Metabolic problems
Uric acid loading over many years other severe illnesses can occur.  They destroy the joints, cause kidney-stones and kidney damage.  Late sequelae diabetes can be reduced or even prevented through a fight against acidosis.

Excess weight
Excess weight is regarded as a malfunction of the metabolism.  The acid/alkaline balance plays an important role.  The pancreas is stimulated to produce alkaline substances for neutralizing the excess gastric acid and these kicks off the digestive processes in the small intestine.  This metabolic process also causes a strong feeling of hunger that can in some cases become uncontrollable.  We can also observe the influence on fat metabolism, which changes as a result of the fight against acidosis.  This happens to such an extent that the value of cholesterol as well as triglycerides decreases.
