Acidosis and Alkalosis

When the body has too much acid the condition is called “Acidosis”. It is the more common of the two conditions. Acidosis creates an inappropriately low level of bicarbonate in the blood. The urine pH is below 6.5 and needs to be corrected. If acidosis exists in the body for long periods of time, the condition creates a chemical imbalance by storing too much sulfur, phosphorus and chlorine.
