The notion of acid and alkaline is one of the most
misunderstood concepts in nutrition. It is commonly referred to
as terrain medicine, a reference to treating the whole
individual. It has been established that PH in the blood,
saliva, urine, and other areas is a critical factor for
building health.
How can you determine an acid or alkaline condition?
Blood work, saliva tests, hair analysis, muscle resistance and
urine are just some of the tests being recommended by current
nutrition experts. Most of these tests can show relative
amounts of acid or alkaline, which is very interesting to
compare.
But what people do not know is that there are so many varieties
of acid and alkaline appearing in the system that to get any
conclusive results about acid and alkaline status. It is still
best to read the intracellular fluid—a test rarely performed.
Most current diagnostic tests show the acid wastes are present
in the body fluids such as blood, lymph, urine, mucus and
saliva. The problem with such tests is that they do not show
how much acid waste is within the cellular fluids since these
fluids are running through tissues and removing acid wastes.
It might be possible to measure the relative acid or alkalinity
of body fluids. But it is rare and more complicated to evaluate
the acid or alkaline quality of body tissues such as skin,
organs, glands, muscles, ligaments, arteries, and vessels. The
majority of standard tests focus mainly on saliva, urine, or
blood.
What does all these mean?
The tissue quality of skin, organs, glands, muscles, ligaments,
arteries, and vessels is the determining factor of your health.
When acid wastes are not eliminated, they are reabsorbed
through the colon, gets filtered through the liver, and end up
being re-released into the general circulation. Simply means
that you are re-circulating waste, when it is supposed to be
cleansed and rejuvenated already.
Even measuring a person's blood for acid and alkaline
variations is not an easy task. When acid is introduced into
the blood, alkaline minerals from other parts of the body are
immediately mobilized to maintain a crucial pH balance of 7.35
to 7.45. The blood cannot tolerate elevated acidity. It must
alkalize.
To do this, it goes on an alkaline borrowing spree immediately,
with no intention of paying back the bone, tissue, and digestive
juice mineral donors. This means that to do a blood test for an
accurate acid and alkaline reading, testing would require your
doctor to take blood samples at numerous intervals throughout
the day and only after eating one particular food to obtain a
good reading.
Very exhausting, costly, and still not that reliable.
A number of nutrition writers suggest testing acid and alkaline
levels with litmus paper (saliva) or urinalysis sticks (urine).
Determining acid and alkaline though pH testing is assumptive,
simplistic, and misleading.
Saliva or urine is not reflective of your overall acidity. Such
arbitrary and unpredictable testing does not read the cellular
fluid or tissue quality of skin, organs, glands, muscles,
ligaments, arteries, and vessels. It can only give in a partial
evaluation.
The proof of your body's acid and alkaline condition can best
be determined by your own experience, not by peer-reviewed
studies, medical establishment support, or static dietary
guidelines.
Without getting too technical, the most practical advice would
be to experiment for several weeks with a food plan that stays
close to the middle of the acid and alkaline scale. Check out
some diet that is high on both. You will notice dramatic and
positive changes that can only be attributed to your
experiment. This will be your best doctor.
There are supplements and products that will help you become
less acidic and more alkalinic. Some say that certain health
problems can only occur if the body is too acidic. Also look at
some charts of common foods and see if what you eat and drink
may be closer to a 2 ph than a 7.
