When your doctor orders blood tests, sometimes they will ask for an electrolyte panelContained in this panel is a test for pH of the blood. Optimal pH of the blood is 7.2. Inherently the body will do everything it can to maintain that pH. This is necessary to run the entire body’s biochemical pathways for detoxification, building, and general maintenance. The body has several control mechanisms to keep it at this pH and they include getting rid of excess acid or base by-products through the lungs, saliva and urine.

When your body is sick in any way this pH is disrupted. Most times your body is trying to keep up with the extra acid produced. Acids are produced from lack of oxygen, eating an imbalance of protein and carbohydrates and other acid producing foods, and by cell breakdown and production of metabolic waste.<\/p>

7.0 – 7.4 ph = optimum health and energy
6.8 ph = beginning of metabolic acidosis
6.4 ph = impaired digestion, hard to lose weight
6.0 ph = 10 times less oxygen to the cells
5.5 ph = extreme acidosis, cancer and degenerative disease
5.0 ph = 100 times less oxygen to the cells and life threatening<\/p>

Cancer, candida, yeast, mold, fungus, viruses, bacteria and parasites cannot survive in a ph of 7.0 or above.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Put a checkmark in each box for the symptoms you are now experiencing. Date the page and keep it for future reference. See how many things have improved after alkalizing for 2-3 months.<\/p>

Measure the pH of your saliva and urine the first thing when you get up. Ingestion of food, liquid, tobacco, or toothpaste can give you a false reading. Litmus or pH paper can be obtained from your naturopath or sometimes a health food store, or email me at\u00a0info@claremontcoloniccenter.com<\/a>\u00a0or call Claremont Colonic Center at (909)603-9200. Cost can vary from .10 per strip to about $14 per roll.<\/p>

pH paper will only give you a rough estimate. The presence of physical signs is a better indication of your alkalinity\/acidity.<\/p>

pH paper colors vary by brand. It’s important to match the color of the paper you have just touched to your saliva or urine to the picture on the box or color panel of the pH paper. Keep the pH paper in a cool, dark place so the colors on the picture do not fade over time.<\/p>

For the Urine (First elimination only and after eating the foods you would normally eat.) Urine pH tells you how your body handled the food you ate the day before. Ideally you want to check your urine after a minimum of 5 hours of sleep. If your sleep is interrupted, take the reading after the longest sleep and record how long you slept. As you alkalize and your health improves, your sleep will be sounder. You only need one base-line reading for the urine.<\/p>

Here’s what the numbers mean. A three-day monitoring period is suggested in Your Health, Your Choice, but for now, we will just do baseline with one reading.<\/p>

Note: The goal is to produce a urinary pH of 6.4-7.0 the first void of the day.<\/p>

Alkaline urine following an acid meal is the result of the body adapting to protect itself. After several years of this it can’t do it any longer and then your body really suffers in the form of chronic illness.<\/p>

Now for the Saliva reading:<\/strong><\/p>

If the pH is more acid after a meal than before, the pH response was distorted by emotions that affect physiology. Negative emotions give us an acid body. This situation puts extreme strain on the body. Excessive strenuous exercise only increases the acid level. So, do you understand why overweight and sick people don’t want to exercise?<\/p>
