Hi Pam
Thanks fr the link.
I am reading the article and got to
The only time the body is completely alkaline is when it is dead! The reason is there is NO OXYGEN because the respiratory system has stopped.
Is that statement correct or a typo?
unable to find confirmation of that so far.
Thanks
PS
I have been telling folks for years that Saliva or Urine PH testing is simply testing PH of urine and saliva and not an indicator of body/organ PH.
That is in part correct. Where it falls off the track is that as Jim says an over Alkalated body will drop extra Alk PH in urine. So testing urine with PH strips can help identify the bodys acidic or alk state by the reading however the reading is NOT the PH value of the body, only of the urine but can be an indicator of where the body PH is acidic or alkaline.
So you can eat vegetables, eat meat, drink Coke, smoke a cigarette, and have an ice cream sundae and you will not change the pH of the blood one iota nor anything else in the body except the urine. Your body must work using different things to maintain this slightly alkaline blood condition and that can change the pH of your urine, and the amount of carbon dioxide that you breathe out. When your urine changes to alkaline that merely indicates the body is off-loading things that are too alkaline for the body. The opposite is true when you breathe out more carbon dioxide. And you can change the pH of your saliva by what you eat. So no one has proven that changing the pH of the saliva will affect blood or any other condition in the body, in fact it has proven the opposite. So when you change the urine to alkaline that means only that by eating alkaline items you have eaten so much that the body can no longer handle all the alkalinity that you are eating and it must off load some alkaline material.
