Now that you have a deeper understanding of these 4 steps of lactic acidosis and how to use them to take back control of your health, it’s time to find out why you may have never heard of lactic acidosis in the past and why it’s been hidden from you!
There are 2 main factors that have prevented the world from finding out and making it so hard to learn about…
The first is the nutrition and medical research before World War 2 was on “feeding studies”, which are studies where they removed specific vitamins and nutrients from foods of animals to see the effects. They also had the opportunity to monitor poor families during the Great Depression who could only afford to eat white, refined bread. These families could not afford vegetables and meat, the foods that support organs. These studies were very powerful and gave us the foundational understanding of how vitamins and minerals work.
Then after WW2, pharmaceutical companies gained great strength and eventually these nutritional feeding studies ended and soon after were forgotten about. Add to this, the federal government declared that Vitamin E and Vitamin C were merely “anti-oxidants”, essentially cancelling decades of research and ignoring the disease preventing abilities of these nutrients.
Then the next factor was centered around Dr. Royal Lee, who was the Father of holistic nutrition. He was one of the most vocal and most powerful at educating the world on how whole food nutrition and supplements could help to reverse chronic health. This eventually led to a major lawsuit against him in 1961 to stop him from talking about healthcare or nutrition by the US Supreme Court. He lost the case and was forced to never talk about healthcare again and died in 1967 and this great information went with him.
Since then, this enormous and comprehensive subject of lactic acidosis which was well studied for over 100 years became 2 small subjects. The first subject was only for athletes- lactic acid in the muscles. The goal is to reduce the amount of lactic acid in muscles for better performance.
And the second smaller subject was related to people who only have a few days left to live. These people are in the hospital and they have suffered a heart attack or gotten a diagnosis of cancer. As a result, their bodies are filling up with lactic acid and the MD’s run a lactate test from blood and they also test the acidity of the blood. The higher the lactate and the more acidic the blood is, the shorter the lifespan of that person.
These two small subjects were taken out of context and the whole subject of lactic acidosis, including their appropriate solutions had been lost.
Which brings us back to the world we are living in today.
There is a global epidemic of toxins, pathogens, and bad diet causing chronic diseases such as diabetes (high insulin), chronic pain, heart disease, cancer, etc.
These chronic diseases all have one thing in common – Lactic Acidosis.
Once you understand Lactic Acidosis – everything starts to fall into place!
To help gain more clarification, we are going to use the analogy of a car driving on a road.
The car represents your body…
The way you drive the car is your lifestyle…
The tires represent your organ health….
The bumpy road you choose to drive on represents exposures to Sugar, Toxins, and Pathogens.
Any compromised functionality of the car (your Body) represents Lactic Acidosis
So for a moment, imagine that your body is this car…
And the way you drive your car represents your Lifestyle…
If you ignore your health by eating the wrong foods that forces your body to use sugar and carbs as its fuel for energy, it’s similar to driving your car (your body) as fast as you can (your lifestyle), down a bumpy road.
This is going to put stress on your tires (the health of your organs).
Even though your car (your body) was never designed to run on a bumpy road, you continue to drive your car as fast as you can (your Lifestyle).
Therefore you are also ignoring your tires (organs) and instead acting as if everything is normal because you are still moving forwards and have become accustomed to the bumpy ride to the point where you find it normal.
Until one day, unexpectedly, one of your tires blows out…
Let’s call that tire – excess CARBS from the SUGAR you are consuming…( a major consequence to your health choices).
Instead of taking this as a sign to change your lifestyle (how you drive the car) – and an opportunity to learn why the tire blew up – You decide it has nothing to do with your driving (your lifestyle)
