What is it about?
We illustrate how changes of acidity influence the stable and coherent function of the physiological system which sustains optimum pH and that increased levels of acidity materially contribute to pathological onset by altering the shape and reactivity of genetically expressed proteins, and also the prevailing levels of essential minerals which influence the rate at which proteins can react with their reactive substrates.

Why is it important?
Although much has been written about the autonomic nervous system the precise mechanisms by which it functions remain poorly defined. This article illustrates that acidity is a physiological system - a network of organs - which function coherently in order to maintain optimum physiological pH; and that significant deviations from normal pH contribute to the onset of diabetes and other common pathologies.
Perspectives
This article is one of a series of articles by the author on the subject of neuroregulation, in particular that it is a fundamental function of the brain to regulate, in a best-fit manner, the coherent function of the physiological systems and that deviations from the autonomically stable state are pathologically significant. Changes of acidity, which alter the levels and bioavailability of essential minerals, are commonly observed in the diabetic patient. This article provides a coherent explanation and illustrates how any acidifying influences e.g. anxiety, stress, acidified and alcoholic beverages, and weight; must inevitably influence the metabolism of blood glucose.
