The biological Terrain

General information

The latent acidosis is a hyperacidity of the connective tissue that cannot be measured by the pH-value within the blood . Nevertheless, it causes numerous diseases as we will show below.

The human acid-base-balance does not show a constant relation of acid and base but a permanent change of their values. Discussion of an ”acid-base-balance” makes clear that there is a certain pattern to thos change. The values of acids and bases in the organism depends on processes such as:

• the exogenous ingestion of food,
• the endogenous supply by metabolic waste products (e. g. formation of lactic acid caused by working muscles),
• the supply by chronic intestine fermentation caused by dysbacteria,
• organic dysfunction (e. g. diabetic acidosis),
• the changing activity of kidneys and intestine,
• the excretion of CO₂ over the lung,
• the activity of the border cells of the stomach (formation of hydrochloride acid and bicarbonate)
• the constitution and absorbtion ability of the depots,
• the function of the vegetative nervous system..

The regulation of the acid-base-balance (equilibrium) is effected by depots, e. g. buffer systems of blood/urine. This buffer systems are able to absorb surplus valences (acids or bases). The pH-value therefore does not reveal the actual relation of acids and bases. In order to measure the absolute quantities of acids and bases, the buffer capacity must be taken into consideration.

The depots and buffer system for the regulation can only absorb limited quantities of acid and basic valences. Periodically evacuations thoroughly flush out these areas. The evacuation is initiated by the activity of the border cells of the stomach. The border cells decompose salt into hydrochloric acid (for the digestion of the stomach content) and into (basic) bicarbonate (for the evacuation of the depots and the secretion of the fluids of the basophilic glands). As long as the hydrochloride acid is in the stomach the basic components in blood and tissue predominates which then leads to a base flood. This periodic alternation takes place three times a day and can be quantitatively measured by determining the acidity-quotientt in the urine.

A pathologic acid-base-balance results from a disturbed evacuation of the acid depots. This inability arises from a surplus of these acids in collagen fibre in the colloidal connective tissue. This condition in the blood cannot be recognised or measured and is therefore called latent or hidden acidosis. From this latent acidosis arises with the progression of the imbalance an initially compensated acidosis (partly using up the buffer depot in the blood) and later the uncompensated acidosis where already the base-reserve supply of the blood is damaged and the pH-value declines.

The latent acidosis is the beginning of a progressive and serious error of the organism. As all body cells require a consistant acid-base-milieu for their optimum ability to function (they can only exist in a very restricted deviation area of the acid - base - balance), this may cause a damage of the cells of the parenchyma in every organ, resulting in a reduced functionality of the latter.

Primary the digestive tract with its basophilic glands (Pancreas, gall-bladder, Lieberkühn’s crypts etc.) suffers from a postponement to the acid side . Trypsin, Erepsin, pancreasdiastase and the bile can only function properly in a basic milieu.This means that on the one hand the acidic stomach content is not neutralised by the little basic bile and pancreas fluid.On the other hand the digestion of carbohydrates, fats and polypeptides is incomplete because the digestion fluids can not work effectively. This acid food pabulum is then transported into the small intestine ; the basophilic lieberkühn’s glands can not sufficiently digest the food. This process leads to a fermentation of the food pabulum, and due to the gases new acids arise worsening the acid-base-balance. Additionally, a dysbacteria results from the one-sided reproduction or change of intestine bacteria. The final result is an autointoxication. The cycle starts the begins again but in a higher power.

Also the gall-bladder suffers from the lack of bases. The effects are precipitation of uric acid and (under certain circumstances) cholesterol, causing problems in form of gallstones.

Additionally, liver- and pancreasparenchyma cells degenerate, as their natural function is made more difficult or even made impossible. The possible results thereof are Hepatopathia or pankreatopathia which should therefore be examined under this aspect.

No less important is a sufficient reserve supply of bases for tissue depots, the connective tissue. The colloidal connective tissue requires bases in order to function. This tissue is the storage organ for nutrients and waste the products of tissues/organs. Should the connective tissue not function due to the colloidal fibres being coated with acids, nutrients will not be sufficiently transported. In addition, waste products will not be sufficiently transported away from the tissues/organs. The parenchyma cells of the affected organs then degenerate and they can no longer carry out their proper function.

Under normal circumstances the interaction between parenchyma cells, metabolism, liver rhythm and the connective tissue is disturbed and the one or other organ becomes diseased, depending on the personal weak point which can vary from person to person.

Likewise, the stomach suffers from the lack of bases because the border cells of the stomach are permanently animated to produce bases (bicarbonate). The production of bicarbonate is not possible if there isn’t an equivalent quantity of hydrochloride acid  which is produced in the stomach. The body therefore suffers from permanent super-secretion and superacidity of the stomach. This can cause an overly acidic environment followed by an inflammation of the stomach lining.

Analysis of the biological Terrain

The BRL-Laboratory examines 6 urine tests taken every three hours in order to construct a daily acid/base curve. Such daily curves demonstrate the periodic flooding of the acid/base balance and allow an accurate diagnosis of the relationship of acids bases in the tissues by comparing them to the curves of healthy people. This method is also adequate for diagnosing the influence of food and medicine according to the acid-base-balance within a short time.
