pH
-
Test
This is an
on-going test over several days to even a couple of weeks to determine
how your pH swings during the day under different circumstances and food
consumption habits.
Take a sheet of paper and make 5 columns headed "time", "consumption",
"saliva pH", "urine pH", "feel".
You will record your urine and saliva pH every time you go to the
bathroom. When you wake up in the morning record the time and your pH
values and how you feel. When you eat breakfast, record the time. Next
time you go to the bathroom record the time, your pH values and how you
feel. Next time you eat, record the time and what you ate. Next time you
go to the bathroom record the time, pH values and how you feel. Do this
throughout the whole day and over many days.
Here you will start to track what you eat, how that makes your pH sway,
and how you feel during the process. It can be an invaluable tool to
begin to make associations like; every time I eat x food, my pH a few
hours later goes to y value, and I feel like…. You may start to notice
patterns that are either for your benefit or perhaps not. Do it for a
long enough period and you will start to see cause and effect. You are
on the road to taking real charge of your health.
Wake-up Test
First thing in the
morning, your eyes open up, you roll over and test your saliva pH. In a
best situation, your pH reads 6.4. Individuals with either chronic
degenerative diseases or those setting themselves up for such will see
their wake up saliva from 5.5 or lower with concurrent urine pH as low
as 4.5. These values represent a long term acid stress on the body.
Generally this means that an individuals alkaline reserves are very low
to depleted. In general you do not want to see a wake up saliva pH
below
6.1.
Salivating Test
You sit down to
eat, you get the aroma of your favorite mealtime dish, you are ready to
chow down and something begins to happen in your mouth. You begin to
salivate. This is a reflection of the enzyme amylase kicking in for the
starch digestion process. This enzyme needs a range of pH ideally around
7.2 pH. So if you have adequate alkaline reserves in your body, testing
your saliva pH as you salivate before a meal should give you a pH
reading of around 7.2. If your pH is not getting up to at least 7.0, you
can assume there is stress in your alkaline reserves and the further
below 7 it goes, the more depleted are those reserves. You could also
suspect digestion all around is not doing so well. This typically
indicates a longer term problem and more serious effort needs to be
applied to help restore overall health.

Acid Meal Test
Here you are going
to eat an acid forming food evening meal. Meat, pasta, beans, bread,
nuts, fish, no vegetables. Next morning, check your first urine pH. The
meal the previous evening was too acid, but the body needs to be getting
rid of this acid, so the urine should reflect this. Best situation would
be wake up urine from 4.5 up to 5.8 or so. This would be a reflection of
your body having enough alkaline reserves that it was buffering the acid
and the adrenals and kidneys had appropriate energy to get rid of it. It
is a healthy response.
Wake up urine after the acid evening meal between 5.8 and 6.8 is a
reflection that the body is barely compensating, and the higher the pH
the worse the situation.
Wake up urine after the acid evening meal of 6.8 or higher is not good.
It is a possible indication that the body is dumping bicarbonate ions
and may be in the ammonia cycle of the liver to help deal with the acid.
This situation probably means depleted alkaline reserves and possible
exhausted adrenal glands as well as probable digestive problems.
If the above situation or an alkaline morning urine is accompanied by an
acid saliva less then 5.8, the situation is getting worse, and the
further apart the numbers, the worse it is. Definite remedial action for
alkaline reserve build up is critical.
As a point of reference, have you ever been to a nursing home and
smelled an ammonia odor? Did you think that was because the nursing home
was doing a good job of house cleaning? Well that is not the case. What
is happening is you smell the urine of very sick people in their last
days. Their bodies are in a give up state, they are likely dumping any
alkaline buffers they have and the body is in last-ditch mode trying to
maintain sufficient blood pH for life to hang on by converting the acid
in their systems to ammonia. The single biggest thing those individuals
need is more water for hydration and a lot of alkalizing minerals. I
would venture to guess that if this were to occur in nursing homes
around the country a lot of their patients would be getting better and
going home.
Alkaline Meal Test
Here you are going
to eat an alkalizing evening meal. Basically all vegetables. Green leafy
veggies, broccoli, lima beans, carrots, etc. Next morning check your
first urine pH.
If the pH range is 4.5 to 5.5 you can consider it a too acid response.
It means your body has a lot of excess acidity stored and you need to
keep up those alkaline evening meals until the numbers come up.
pH
If you have a pH
range from 5.5 to 6.8 it could be considered that you
have a better level of alkaline reserves, but key to that assumption
would be how you feel. If you feel healthy this range is ok. If you have
symptoms of problems, you may need to dig more into the situation.
If the pH range is 6.8 to 8.5 again it could mean all is very well IF
you are perfectly healthy. However, if you were experiencing serious
symptoms of ill health, this alkaline response could be an indication
that your cells are too toxic to use the alkaline reserves and instead
are being dumped.
It should be mentioned here that there can be times when
someone consumes many vegetables and alkaline minerals and their pH
readings average far above 6.4. They believe this to be healthy but it
actually is reflecting an underlying imbalance. Instead of using the
minerals they are being dumped. Further testing will many times show an
anabolic/catabolic imbalance - some clinicians also refer to this as an
anaerobic/dysaerobic imbalance. This is related to the mix of fatty
acids and sterols on cell membrane walls. If these fatty acids and
sterols go askew it will affect cell membrane permeability so what goes
in does not necessarily get assimilated the way it should.
Moving pH
To get a quick
"average" pH, you can measure yourself two hours after breakfast and two
hours after lunch. Do this over a period of days and get your average
numbers. Then use this formula:
(Avg Urine pH ____ + Avg Saliva pH X 2 ___) Divided by 3 =
___
Average pH Between 6 and 7
If your average pH is between 6 and 7 just use the neutral
calcium's of gluconate and orotate to build up your total alkalinity along with other
minerals and trace minerals.
Calcium
(Calcium citrate)
Calcium Gluconate)
Average pH Above 7
If your pH is above 7, add calcium lactate and
vitamin C (ascorbic
acid). Clinicians have found about 1000mg twice a day of C is good, and
the higher above pH 7 you go, the more
vitamin C you can take. Stop the
calcium lactate when you come into range between 6 and 7 and pull back
on the vitamin C.
Do not take vitamin D.
Average pH Below 6
If your pH is below 6, add calcium citrate or
calcium carbonate
(something like coral calcium is the carbonate form). With pH
5.6 to 6
clinicians have found that adding 1000 IU of
vitamin D once or twice a
day is beneficial and pH from 5.2 to 5.6 up to 5000 IU of
vitamin D is
good, while pH below 5.0 up to 50000 IU of
vitamin D once or twice a
day would be ok as little
vitamin D is being absorbed in the acid
terrain. You can use the
vitamin D to help push the pH up. Stop the
calcium citrate and carbonate when you come into pH range 6 to 7. Pull
back on vitamin D and go to cod liver oil for
vitamin D requirements.

Do not take
vitamin C.
