Abstract: This study investigates the role of plant-derived acids and alkaloids in denaturing microbial proteins and destroying pathogenic genomes, with an emphasis on their applications in modern Ayurvedic practices and GIS-based environmental health modeling. Organic acids such as citric, tartaric, oxalic, and malic acids, sourced from medicinal plants like Amla, Oxalis, and Ananas, were observed to lower environmental pH, creating hostile conditions for microbial survival. Similarly, alkaloids including nicotine, caffeine, vasicine, and quinine exhibit potent genomic disruption in bacteria lacking antioxidant defenses. Statistical models based on digital pH mapping and microbial data demonstrate significant negative correlations between pH and bacterial viability (p<0.001), confirming that most pathogens fail to survive outside the narrow pH range of 7.0 to 8.0. The study further integrates these findings with the DISPER-EE model (DISease Percentage with Environment Editing), showing that pathogen levels in soil and water reduce to near zero when digital CEC falls below 20 meq/100g. These results support the development of eco-friendly, Ayurvedic-based disease management systems through GIS-integrated digital biochemistry.
