Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 My husband and I have a question relative to the emphasis on attaining and maintaining appropriate alkalinity levels. Lately, our readings have been roughly in the 6.8 to 7.0 for my husband and 7.0 to 7.5 for me. What pH levels are recommended, and what alkalinity level would be a practical and achiveable goal? While we are making strong efforts to reduce our intake of wheat, sugar and fats, it is highly unlikely that we will ever become true vegans. On the other hand, and going in the direction of acidity, at what pH levels does one begin to become concerned about one's vulnerability to cancer, heart disease, arthritis, Alzsheimers and other degenerative diseases? Any insight and guidance which you can share on this issue will be very much apprciated. Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hi Barbara, Check in this group's website files. In the directory: Articles, you will see: Newsletter 44, Acid/Alkaline.

Check them out and see if these answer your questions. love Lisa - bara29554 herbal remedies Thursday, March 17, 2005 6:56 PM Herbal Remedies - Alkalinity Levels My husband and I have a question relative to the emphasis on attaining and maintaining appropriate alkalinity levels.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Dear Barbara, The ideal ph balance is between 7.2 and 7.8 on the ph scale.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Dear Barbara, OK I read the rest of your email and here is my personal answer. It does not require that you be vegan for the correct ph. It only requires that you are moderate in your intake of meats and other less than great food stuffs. If you can stay away from junk food and increase the fruits and vegetable intake then you will be fine. But no where will you ever hear me state that you cannot eat meat unless your doing a specific program that is designed to do a specific job for a specified amount of time. Does that help? Any meats not organic though are going to nail your liver and create havoc with your hormones which will make you gain weight as well as have other problems with your body. So ORGANIC foods!!!

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Zeb, I had a similar question recently... I believe that the blood needs/wants to be at 7.4 pH, but what is it for saliva (as that's easier to test Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 18, 2005 Report Share Posted March 18, 2005 On the ph strips or stix you want your saliva to be between 7.0 - 7.5 This means you are slightly alkaline. Remember to check about 2 hours after you eat. When using urine strips, check the second urine of the day, not the first. When using the urine method make sure your paper/stix/test is made for urine. Anything 6.5 and above is ok when using a "ph" stick or swab in urine. Does this help?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Does this help? ================= Yes, Zeb, thank you and others who have replied to my query. I still, however, have had no response to the second part of my post in which I asked at what pH level (on the acid side) does one become concerned about one's vulnerability to degenerative diseases such as cancer, arthritis, Alszheimers etc?

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Anywhere below 7.0. Its a scale that is based off of momentum. The farther off you go the faster you get sick. When you stop and change your diet it still takes a few weeks for your body to turn that momentum around. Remember that everything in this universe is based of a "Live, Change, Die". So the more off the scale you go the faster towards "die" you push your body. The faster you go towards "die" the more effort is needed to halt the downward progression towards recovery, "change" it and then head back up the track towards "live".

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Thanks but we were referring to the PH papers and their ranges. Not the actual blood ph. Yes it is so narrow that it needs to be expanded so we can monitor it better. Your blood will NEVER go out of this range cause you will die, correct. So we use the ph paper ranges so we can manually check our ph and make sure the rest of the body (as opposed to the blood) is in a normal range to ensure we are not stealing nutrients from these other areas in order for the blood to keep balanced. If you have proper nutrition your blood need only get what it needs. Without then your blood is taking from other areas of the body and making it easier for you to get sick and weak and tired and all the other things we go to doctors for and get drugs for and so on. This is why this list exists to change that flow.
