“An Alkaline diet can help you lose weight and avoid problems like arthritis and cancer” Dr Robert O Young
One in 3 of us will get cancer, two out of 3 of us are too acidic – this is no coincidence! The correct acid/alkaline balance is absolutely crucial for the body to maintain good health. Over acidification leads to the overgrowth of microorganisms in the body whose poisons create disease. Microorganisms, germs, bacteria, viruses, fungus (Candida) and mould thrive in an unhealthy, acidic environment. – LotusRain’s Integrative Cancer Care
Maintaining pH balance allows us to experience good health, energy and vitality by avoiding harmful overgrowth of disease and cancer forming microorganisms. Being out of balance encourages overgrowth of microorganisms and the waste products from these microorganisms create more acidity.
How to measure your pH
Test your urine and saliva 3 times a day for 28 days Follow the directions on your alkalizing strips.
Test urine & saliva first thing in the morning before you do anything else or swallow anything, test in the afternoon 2/3 hours before or after eating and test before you sleep 2/3 hours after eating if possible.
See what zone you are in on the pH scale.
The pH scale ranges from 1 to 14, with 1 being highly acidic 7 being neutral 14 being highly alkaline.
The scale is logarithmic, meaning that a pH reading of 6 is 10 times more acidic than a reading of 7 and a reading of 5 is 100 times more acidic than a reading of 7.
The urine is usually most acidic in the morning as the body is excreting acids accumulated overnight so expect a more acidic reading in the morning.
You will get to see your rhythms and patterns. Keep a record of results and watch your progress.
You will be able to see the effects of your diet on your pH levels.
Test yourself after an acidic meal and an alkaline meal.
The results are not definitive but you will be able to see your cycles and rythms.
Urine pH is more accurate than saliva and changes in response to diet, saliva pH is much more variable and sensitive to diet/food intake.
If your urine or saliva are in the acidic zone you are out of balance.
Your test strips will indicate your acidity or alkalinity readings
