Acids give up electrons, bases accept them.Acidity is a mechanism many organism use to defend or protect themselves. Alkalinity is less common in animals but frequent in plants.
Life in general is exquisitely adapted to maintain a close to neutral pH (the measure of alkalinity/acidity).
Variances from neutrality almost always indicate a pathological process. The goal of treatment is to correct the UNDERLYING disorder, not just the pH itself.
When in doubt, HIT THE BOOKS!
