Weight Loss, More Energy, Better Moods!
“Since I have started eating a more alkaline diet, I’ve been able to lose 17 pounds! I am eating a lot more salads, veggies and fruit, and feel great! People don’t realize how much sugar, and caffeine truly negatively affect your health. I drink alkaline water daily, and I know this has helped…I also have more energy, and my mood is much better!”

pH Testing and Treatment
In this age of complex and sophisticated means of diagnosing health problems, there is a simple test available to determine the true state of your health. It is accomplished by measuring the pH of the saliva and urine with pH or litmus paper. The label “pH” means potential of hydrogen, and measures the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It corresponds to a scale of 0 – 14, where 7 is neutral, below 7.0 is acidic, and above is alkaline.
A fact to steer from, is that the pH of the blood MUST be maintained at 7.365. More than a few tenths of a point off will result in severe illness, while coma and death can occur at a pH of 6.9.
Food and drink create an acid or alkaline residue, or ash, in the body, after they have been digested. It follows, then, that alkaline foods will help the body keep the all important blood pH alkaline, and foods and beverages that are acidic, will challenge this delicate balance. The most acidic foods and beverages are red meat and pork, sugar and white flour, all dairy products, alcohol, coffee and soda. Then come chicken, turkey and fish. Most grains and beans are only slightly acidic. Some fruits, most vegetables, nuts and seeds are alkaline in the raw state. A great way to increase alkalinity is to drink alkalized, ionized water.
So although the ideal pH reading for urine and saliva is 7.25 – 7.4, this can be compromised if one’s diet is acidic, and it is not uncommon to see first urine pH measurements in the 4.5-6.5 range. Usually, symptoms of ill health, and then sickness and disease accompany these type of readings.
Many naturally minded doctors and researchers have proven that an overly acid condition in the body leads to all manner of health problems – from annoying symptoms like sore throats, headaches, fatigue, weight problems and indigestion all the way to serious life threatening illnesses. As years of consuming an overly acid diet accumulate, and the pH dips below the 6.5, 5.5 or 4.5 range…, serious conditions can result – like diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, emphysema or cancer. These researchers have proven that tumor cells, yeast, bacteria and virus grow and thrive in an acid medium, while they die in alkaline conditions.
