Discussion: Why is acid-base balance, especially in the digestive tract, so important for cancer patients?

Restoring the immune system of cancer patients while balancing the intestinal flora is particularly essential.

In contrast to our blood in a minimal range of values ​​(of a weak alkaline environment) in the digestive system, there are very high acid-base gaps. The saliva is usually neutral, with a tendency to slight acidity. The stomach is particularly acidic (PH 1-2) due to the need to break down food. Bile produced in the liver and excreted into the duodenum through the gallbladder while eating greasy foods is alkaline (PH 9-10). Bile duct obstructions may cause high acidity in the gastrointestinal tract. High gastrointestinal acidity is a widespread phenomenon that has far-reaching effects on the immune system. Pathogens always present in the gut tend to thrive in an acidic environment.
