Today’s posting is related to prevention of cancer in an indirect way. It pertains to the acid/alkaline condition of the body cells and the blood. As mentioned before, most cancer tumor cells start in an acidic body (low pH). The way to find out a person’s body cell and blood pH is an indirect measurement of the saliva and urine. When the urine and saliva pH is an optimum 6.4, the blood and body cells should be an optimum 7.4 pH. A good normal range for the saliva and urine is from 6.2 to 6.4. If the pH gets lower (more acid) or higher (more alkaline), the body is then subject to many diseases including autoimmune, plus regular body diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. A person’s diet controls the body cells, organs, and blood pH.
Everyone would be better off if they obtained some hydrion litmus paper to check their saliva and urine twice daily, when getting up in the morning, and before brushing their teeth at night, upon going to bed. This gives them a monitor of how their diet is controlling their acid/alkaline balance (pH).
This is very important because cancer usually starts in an acidic body, why does this occur? Because when the electromagnetic pH and cell resonance gets low, cancer cells and other diseases can begin to thrive. The healthy goal for any person then, is to maintain their saliva and urine pH (electromagnetic range) at an ideal body cell and blood range of 7.4 pH.
A person’s diet controls this pH range.
When the BODY CELLS and BLOOD get below 7.4 (acidic) then several adverse problems begin to occur. The resonance and electromagnetic energy of the thin body cells gets reduced. This creates resistance in the body cell walls which slows down or inhibits oxygen, nutrients and minerals from getting into the cells and restricts CO2, wastes, bad viruses and bacteria from exiting the cells. This creates a chronic, long time exposure to diseases including cancer.
The energy in a food is dependent on how many minerals and how much electromagnetic energy the food contains. What are the foods that are some of the best for raising the body cell and blood pH? Water, barley powder, along with raw, fresh lemon juice, cucumbers, and watermelon are some great alkaline boosters.
My pH has always been lower than the optimum. For years, I have drank a raw, fresh glass of lemon juice before bedtime and when I get up in the morning. That has been the best alkaline booster for my condition. Why does raw, fresh lemon juice raise the pH? Because lemon juice is one of the ionic foods that stimulate the pancreas to produce more alkaline enzymes.
One of the most important functions of neutral acid/alkaline balance is controlling body cell functions and the heart rhythm. A constant pH of 7.4 is crucial to maintaining a steady heart rhythm. That is where a serious condition can occur which relates to the dental bite, temporal mandibular joint, the neck muscles, and the cervical vertebrae.
In 2015, I gave a lecture to the American academy of gnathological orthopedists in Phoenix. At the lecture, I presented a theory of how a bad bite can contribute to an unwarranted cervical cartilage operation. I feel that this medical problem needs more research and serious changes in the treatment of neck surgery.
The problem starts with a person’s bad bite, which creates a temporal mandibular dysfunction. There are three maxillary mal positions that can create a temporal mandibular dysfunction, not counting accidents. I would like to refer the three positions to a pilot’s jargon. An over closed bite {often caused by developing resting tongue position (tongue splinting) when young}, causes a “pitch” or forward head position. The head weighs about 12 to 14 pounds. When the head is postured forward, it changes the posture, causing a scoliosis of the cervical spine. This position, according to Dr. Janet Travell, creates posterior neck muscle tension. often exhibited by posterior neck tension and headaches. There are two other positions that create neck tension, but not exactly posterior. They are a canted (class IV bite), “roll”, and an atlas/axis malposition, “yaw.” The neck muscle tension for these malocclusions is not directly from the posterior, which is present with an over closed bite. However, a canted bite can cause neck tension that also can change the vertebral posture, and a scoliosis.
When the over closed temporal mandibular dysfunction patient’s forward posture crates a scoliosis, it affects vertebral cartilages C2, C3, C4, C5, and C6. It affects the anterior portion of the vertebrae, which puts undue pressure on the anterior of the cervical cartilages, between the vertebrae.
Many dentists do not relate a TMJ dysfunction problem with the blood pH and cervical vertebrae. But now another factor comes into play, an acidic body, the body cell and blood pH, and the heart rhythm. With a very acidic body, or with a calcium deficiency, the calcium is usually deficient, and the pH of the blood can get below 7.4.
The heart rhythm depends on a constant pH of 7.4, to keep a steady pace. A lowering of the pH can cause the heart rhythm to slow down. But this is protected by the chemicals in the blood. They call out for calcium to raise the blood pH.
With a lowering of the blood pH, the chemicals in the blood seek calcium from the body to maintain the steady heart rhythm. If the calcium levels are not raised, this can also cause other heart problems.
Where does this calcium come from? It comes from bone areas which are under tension, or stress, like the periodontal bone between the teeth, and/or the anterior portion of the vertebral cartilages, under pressure from the scoliosis.
Most dentists, oral surgeons, neck surgeons, and chiropractors do not relate the over closed bite, TMJ dysfunction, vertebral scoliosis, acidic blood pH, calcium deficiency, neck muscle tension, and heart rhythm to this complicated paradox. More research and study needs to be done to understand the complicated biochemistry and surgical ramifications.
HUNDREDS of anterior cervical cartilage operations are done by neck surgeons every year that are caused by an acidic diet, LOW BLOOD pH, scoliosis, cartilage degeneration paradox. The neck surgeons, oral surgeons, dentists, and also chiropractors do not realize that the cause is the acidic blood pH, over closed bite, TMJ dysfunction, forward head posture, scoliosis, and anterior cervical vertebral cartilage degeneration.
Dentists and other professionals need to understand the importance of an acidic body, and how an acetic diet, body cells, the blood pH, calcium deficiency, and cervical vertebral cartilage degeneration are related to their professions.
Now, I would like to ask another question. If there is a scoliosis of the vertebral vertebrae, does it relate to a scoliosis of the lumbar vertebrae? If it does, then the iliopsoas muscle attaches from the lower lumbar vertebrae through the pelvis to the femur. Would that cause a short leg?

Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. graduated from the University Of Washington School Of Dentistry in 1957. After two years of service in the Air Force, he started a private practice in East Wenatchee, Washington. For the past 45 years his practice has included Orthodontics and TM Dysfunction treatment specializing in temporomandibular pain treatment, headache, head and neck pain control, functional jaw orthopedics, and straight wire orthodontics. Associated with mercury elimination, oral surgery, crowns and bridges is TMJ treatment, diet control, parasite elimination, intestinal cleansing and healing (wellness).
Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. has taught advanced courses for dentists on TM Dysfunction treatment, orthodontics and related pain control for more than 30 years. In 1972 he was the first dentist in Washington to use straight wire orthodontics and the first dentist to correct vertical deficiencies in children by placing vertical dimension-primary molar buildups and/or vertical (erupting) appliances. Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. was involved with the first group of dentists to recognize lateral tongue splinting in young infants and integrate functional and fixed techniques to correct vertical dimension deficiencies and condylar placement. He is the originator of vertical dimension-primary molar build ups, which help to correct deep bites and Otitus media in children. He invented the Loudon-Chateau Anterior Repositioning Appliance, the functional muscle malocclusion concept, the twelve commandments of occlusion and the vertical overbite domino rule. Merle E. Loudon, B.S., D.D.S. has written numerous articles in several American and foreign dental journals and has lectured in over 50 cities and 7 foreign countries on functional jaw orthopedics, fixed wire orthodontics, Otitus media treatment and TM Dysfunction treatment. He has been instrumental in setting up criteria for teaching in the International Association For Orthodontics, including the certified instructor program.
Dr. Loudon is a member of The American Dental Association, Diplomat and Senior Instructor in the International Association for Orthodontics, and is a Diplomat of the American Academy of Pain Management. He also is a member of the American Orthodontic Society.
