Measure your pH (Was : Urine on Skin Rash & Jellyfish Stings & Things)

[Guest guest]

Okay Roger, point taken. :-) It's uric acid that, in a healthy person, is

more or less neutralized prior to elimination, you're correct!

 

 

 

I guess this whole line of thinking is, well, that's already being generous,

IMHO. I just hope that some people begin to embrace the idea that Nature has

been at this a lot longer than all these " healers " and such.

 

 

 

'nuff said.

PS I feel very grateful that you updated the subject line, thank you!!!!!

Makes it SO much easier to follow a conversation, and also to find things

later on in the archive. E

I can't remember who, but apparently someone is talking about applying urine

to a skin rash.

 

That would mean hosing down the rash with acid.

 

I dunno ... doesn't sound like a likely solution to me!!! Maybe I need to

learn the " new chemistry " .

 

Urine DOES work very well on jellyfish stings ... because the chemistry

involved is different, NOT because urine is some cure-all.

Best,

Hi Elchanan,

 

Hang on a minute! My urine is not acid. It is very nearly neutral, just

slightly alkaline (pH 7.25) as is the urine of any healthy person. If yours

is acid, you need to improve your diet! :-)

 

Not that I have the slightest interest in putting urine on my skin. It does

fine with a bit of clean water now and again. Really this post is to

encourage people to minitor their pH, as it is such a useful indicator of

how healthy you are and how good your diet is. Also it can be very

encouraging if you are making changes, to see that those changes are

actually doing something.

 

For a long time I ate mostly fruit and some greens, but with significant

amounts of nuts, seeds, cheese, rye crispbread, butter, eggs and salt. My pH

was around 6.25 (acid), sometimes 5.5 (very acid). Then I changed to mainly

fruit and some greens, with very small amounts of nuts and seeds, and my pH

very quickly moved into the healthy range (7 to 7.5).

 

I would be very interested to hear from anyone else about what their pH is

and what they are eating.

 

Regards

Roger Rowan
