The pH Miracle Living Acid/Alkaline Saliva and Urine Test:

First, upon waking, test your saliva with the pHydrion paper.

When you get out of bed, lick and wet the end of a pHydrion test strip with your saliva.

Note the color change, compare to chart on container, and write down the pH number, date and time.

Do this before brushing your teeth, drinking, smoking, or even thinking of eating any food.

The optimum saliva pH should be 6.8 to 7.2.

Next, test your first urine of the morning.

This is urine that has been stored in your bladder during the night that is ready to be eliminated when you get up.

You need to urinate on a strip of pHydrion paper, note the color change, compare to chart on container, and write down the pH number, date and time.

The pH of first urine should run optimally between a pH 6.8 to 7.2. If your first urine pH is lower than 6.8, you are deficient in alkaline buffers and need to move to a more alkaline diet rich in fresh green vegetables and low sugar fruits.

If your first urine pH is higher than 7.2, your alkaline buffers are sufficient to neutralize the acidic food and drink, you ingested the day before.

To balance the pH of the urine you need to move away from acidic foods and drinks, and begin ingesting liberal amounts of electron rich green vegetables, low sugar fruits and healthy polyunsaturated fats.

Next, test your second urine of the morning, before eating any food.

This number should be the pH of your second urine after you have eliminated the acid load from the day before. The acids should be gone the second time you go to the bathroom, so your urine pH should be ideally around 6.8 to 7.2.

If the pH is lower than 6.8, you are in a state of latent tissue acidosis and you are deficient of alkaline buffers such as bicarbonate, sodium, potassium and magnesium.

The lower pH is also indicative of a diet high in protein and an increase in acids from proteins including nitric, sulfuric, phosphoric, and uric acids. Eliminate from the diet, proteins from beef, chicken, turkey, pork and fish to normalize pH at 6.8 to 7.2, while eating liberal amounts of green foods and green drinks and healthy polyunsaturated fats.

**For breakfast eat an avocado soup, vegetable soup, alkaline shake, or drink some fresh almond milk or a fresh green drink. (See Back to House of Health Recipe Books 1 and 2)

Next, test your urine and saliva, five minutes after breakfast.

Write these pH numbers, date and time down also.

The ph numbers will go up from the first and second morning urine and saliva, if you have sufficient alkaline reserves to buffer acids. If you do not, then the pH numbers will show very little change or even go down from the early morning pH numbers.

Finally, make sure you check your urine and saliva pH between meals, i.e., between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner.

The pH after meals should return back to a normal pH of 6.8 to 8.4. Approximately 2 hours after meals the pH should then return back to a balanced 6.8 to 7.2.

The above five tests show the following:

The efficiency of the digestive system to deal with what you ate the night before, i.e., the first and second A.M. urine and saliva pH. These numbers will change from day to day, if you are living and eating acidic. When you begin “The pH Miracle Living Plan” you will see the pH of the urine and saliva become more constant and balanced at a pH of 6.8 to 7.2.

How well you treat yourself in general i.e., how “strong” the salivary glands, pancreas, gallbladder and liver are in dealing with excess acidity. This is once again the ph of AM urine and saliva. This number shows the overall state of your health the condition of the alkaline reserve of your body, which reflects the diet you have been eating over the last several months or even years. This pH number stays rather constant and will only change after some work has been done in alkalizing and energizing the body as outlined in the pH Miracle books. Since the saliva and urine pH is an indicator of intracellular pH, saliva and urine pH readings should never be below the pH of the phosphate buffer system, 6.8. (See below). The most accurate readings of saliva and urine pH is recorded immediately upon awakening--after sleeping at least five hours and before brush your teeth. It is during sleep that the body removes waste and is in an anabolic state restoring and replenishing the body. For example, if you have a saliva or urine pH of 5.5 and only 5.6 after eating, you know that you are deficient in alkaline reserves and your body is devoid of the minerals necessary to process food properly -- your body cannot adequately respond to the physiological crisis of handling food or drink that is acidic.

The pH of your saliva and urine after you eat or drink gives you an indication of your alkaline mineral reserves and your body’s ability to deal with the acid residues created from the digestion of that food or drink. It is normal for your pH number to increase after you eat or drink, not stay static or decrease. This once again indicates your inability to deal with acid, the deficiency of alkaline reserves and the buildup of latent tissue acidosis, Even if you think of a food, like an avocado or a lemon, the pH of your saliva should increase by a whole point. This simple test indicates you have sufficient alkaline reserve minerals to pull into your digestive system to begin the digestive and buffering process. The ideal urine and saliva pH pattern is 6.8 to 7.2 on awakening, 6.8 to 7.2 before eating, and 6.8 to 8.4 following any alkaline meal or drink.

A simple test to check the adequacy of the alkaline reserve of the body can be done at most any time of the day by eating a few almonds. This will check the adequacy of the alkaline reserves of the body.

When a healthy person with adequate alkaline reserves eats a few almonds, the saliva pH almost immediately goes up to a pH of 8.4. The more acidic the food that is eaten, the more rapid the response of the alkaline reserve, and the higher the saliva pH should be following a meal.

The rhythm of the acid and base flow indicating acid and base floods and tides. The pH of the saliva and urine between meals should be kept in the basic range, pH 6.8 to 7.2. After one eats, the stomach releases its necessary HCL (hydrochloric acid) to help digest the food. While doing this, it also performs the opposite action, i.e., it makes an equivalent amount of base or baking soda, (sodium bicarbonate), that is picked up by the blood stream and delivered to the alkaline glands of the body (the saliva glands, the pancreas, the gallbladder, the pylorus glands in the Intestinal tract, and the liver). The maximum amount of base in the blood and therefore in the urine and saliva, occurs one to two hours after you eat.

This rhythm of the acid and base flow of the body, was called by Frederick F. Sander, the “Base-floods and the Base-tides of the Acid-Base Household”. This information was first published in 1930, by Frederick F. Sander, a German scientist: in a book called, “The Acid-Base Household of the Human Organism”.

In his book he states that the body fluids and therefore the urine is most acidic at 2:00 AM, (ph 5.0 to 6.8) in the morning (the base tide) and most alkaline at 2:00 P.M. (pH 6.8 to 84) in the afternoon (base flood).

“The ideal pH numbers depend on the time of day. Plotted on a curve it looks like the double hump of the back of a camel. Two times a day the urine and saliva should be alkaline and that is the top of the humps and corresponds to 10A.M. and 2 P.M., the alkaline tide after meals. During the rest of the day the pH should be between 6.8 and 7.2. This is optimal urine and saliva. The first urine and saliva in the morning should be more acidic because of the decalcification that takes place during the night in neutralizing excess acids.”

An Introduction to the New Biology TM

If all the acids generated in a day from digestion, respiration, metabolism and degeneration are not all flushed out during the night they accumulate, day after day. The results are the expression of states of imbalance as the body desperately tries to maintain the alkaline fluid pH at 7.365. The day to day buildup of acids affects each of us differently depending on our genetics, lifestyle, and diet. I have found that acids settle in the weakest parts of the body and if not eliminated through the bowels, urinary system, lungs, or skin, acids are then bound to fat and stored on our hips, thighs, stomach, breasts and brain. In conclusion my theory suggests that ALL symptomologies are the expression of over acidification and acids are the direct cause of ALL sickness and disease.

Monitoring your saliva and urine pH puts the responsibility of caring for your health back into your hands. Measuring the saliva and urine pH guides your therapy and shows you how you are living, eating, and drinking which will ultimately determine the quality and quantity of your life.

You should monitor your saliva and urine each day for at least 12 weeks or until you establish a balanced pH at 6.8 to 72. Once you have established a balanced saliva and urine pH at 6.8 to 7.2, you can reduce the number of tests to once a day and then to 2 or 3 times a week for monitoring purposes.

Simple pH Miracle Indicator Solution

A simple way to prepare your own pH indicator, instead of using pHydrion strips to test your pH, is to use the spice, Turmeric. Turmeric is a yellow powder, but in a basic solution it turns a ruby red color, Turmeric in an alkaline solution will turn color right at a pH of 6.8-- the pH of the urine and saliva at 6.8 to 7.2.

To prepare this pH Miracle indicator so you just add a teaspoon of Turmeric to a pint of rubbing alcohol. Shake it well and let settle.

To use it pour some of the yellow, alcohol/turmeric solution into a test tube or smaller container. A small drinking glass will do. Add a few drops of urine or saliva and if it turns red, it means that your saliva or urine has a pH greater than 6.8, which is alkaline. If it stays yellow the pH of the saliva or urine is acid when less than a pH of 6.8, and you need to eat or drink more electron rich vegetables, fruits and polyunsaturated fats.

As you continue on “The pH Miracle Living Plan” your saliva and urine will always stay red which means you are in pH balance in the blood fluids and the tissues. You will begin feeling the benefits of maintaining a balanced internal pH with increased energy, a clear mind, free of aches and pains.

You will walk and not be weary and run and not faint. You will simply feel outstanding.
