How to Test Your pH
This three-part pH test helps indicate an electrolyte
deficiency, which could inhibit the cleansing process and initiate
unnecessary or even harmful cleansing reactions. If you do not pass the
pH test, you can still do a very mild cleanse with food. However, it is
essential that you have a full alkaline electrolyte reserve before doing
a fast. You will need pH papers, pen/pencil, paper, and one lemon. The
tests must be done at least two (2) hours after meals.
Part #1 - The Saliva Test
Thoroughly wet the end of a small strip of pH paper with
your saliva and compare its color to the nearest color indicated on the
pH paper dispenser. The color chart may not always match the readings
exactly, just use your best judgment. Record the date and the results on
a piece of paper.
Interpreting Part #1
6.0 or below - Indicates a seriously depleted electrolyte condition and
Potential problems while exercising, cleaning, or fasting. You must
replenish your alkaline reserve before doing any cleansing, fasting or
strenuous exercise. DO NOT EXERCISE STRENUOUSLY! Perform Part #2.
6.1 - 6.3 - Indicates depletion. May not be serious, but electrolytes
are low Perform Part #2.
6.4 - 6.8 - Passed Part # 1. This is a very good sign. Perform Part #2.
6.9 or higher - Something may have interfered with the reading, such a
stress or excitement. Wait about one hour and test again. If the result
remains the same, it indicates psychological stress that is so deep that
it is causing metabolic stress. It could also be related to old drugs,
emotions infections, parasites, etc. Perform Part #2.
Part #2 - The Lemon Test
This test can be done immediately after the saliva test.
Squeeze the juice of one half (l/2) of a lemon into two (2) ounces of
water and drink without sweeteners. Swish the juice in the mouth once
just before swallowing. Wait for 60 seconds, and then begin a series of
six (6) saliva readings with the pH papers. Record each reading. At
least one of the last three readings must show a passing result to pass
this part of the test
Interpreting Part #2
8 or higher - You passed. This indicates that the liver has stored
adequate electrolytes to buffer the acids in the mouth. This is a
positive health indicator. If, during Part #1 of the test, the saliva
reading was between 6.4 and 6.8, and you passed the lemon test, then it
is safe to cleanse or fast. Proceed toPart#3.
7.5 - 8.0 - You barely passed and you may cleanse, but your electrolyte
reserve is not fully charged. You should strive to increase your reserve
during a milder cleanse.
7.0 - 7.4 - Indicates that you have some reserve of alkaline minerals,
but not as much as needed. Work diligently on increasing your
electrolyte reserve during milder cleansing. Do not go into deeper
phases until you have a reading above 7.5.
6.9 or below, but higher than the reading in Part l - Indicates that
there is some reserve, but it is minimal. This indicates that you are
moving towards a chronic, dis-eased condition. Use only mild cleansing
until you pass the pH test. Proceed to Part #3. Support from an expert
health practitioner is advised!
Part #3 - The Urine Test
To complete this test you'll need to devote a day to
eating only vegetables and their Juices (100% alkaline-forming foods).
Have no grains, dairy, meat, coffee, or fruits; and do not exercise
strenuously. The next morning, wet the pH paper in a mid-stream of
urine. Record your result.
Interpreting Part #3
7.0 or above - You passed. It means that your body has so much extra
electrolyte reserve that it is eliminating the excess through the urine.
6.5 - 6.9 - Indicates some depletion, although it is not yet too
serious. The body is storing some electrolytes but is releasing some as
well. Work on increasing your electrolytes during milder cleanses. As
long as you passed the first two parts of the test, it is safe to
cleanse deeply.
5.7 - 6.4 - Depletion is more serious. Acid accumulation is greater than
your alkaline reserve. This means that your body may be killing its own
cells to retrieve the electrolytes it needs to keep your body alive. It
is a sign that you are moving towards a dis-ease. Focus on replenishing
your electrolyte storehouse before cleansing. Then, be sure to pass all
parts of
the pH test. Caution is advised while cleansing.
5.6 or below - A pH in this range indicates the body is very depleted
and has no storage of electrolytes. It is unlikely that you would have
passed Part #1 and Part #2. Do not attempt any cleansing or fasting,
only do very mild cleansing. Some type of chronic or degenerative dis-ease
has probably already developed
Summary of pH Test Results
Indicators of serious mineral depletion & poor health
-
Saliva pH between meals is below 6.1.
-
Lemon test is below 7.0 pH.
-
After eating 100% alkaline-forming foods in a
24-hour period, the next morning's urine pH is below 7.0
-
After eating 100% acid-forming foods, the next
morning's urine pH is above 7.0.
-
Smell of ammonia in urine.
Signs of good health & full reserve of electrolytes
-
Saliva pH between meals is above 6.4 to 6.8.
-
Lemon test reveals 8.0 or above
-
After eating 100% alkaline-forming foods in a
24-hour period the next morning's urine pH is 7.0 or above
-
After eating 100% acid-forming foods, the next
morning's urine pH is 6.0 or below.
If you did not pass the Test
Those who did not pass the pH test should stop eating
acid food, and eat mostly vegetables, particularly those that are high
in organic electrolytes: sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium.
Drink plenty of fresh organic Juices. Use organic electrolyte
Supplements. Use only very mild cleansing until you pass all three parts
of the test. You can begin fasting once you have built up your alkaline
reserves and passed the entire pH test.
Note: Urine tests during cleansing - After you begin cleansing, the body
will be removing stored acids. The deeper the cleansing, the more acid
the urine becomes. Checking your urine pH during these phases will not
indicate your true electrolyte Status. In other words, it's useless.
However, Part #2 (the lemon test) should continue to be accurate.
Rebuilding the Alkaline Reserve
-
Eliminate all acid-forming foods.
-
Consume only alkaline-forming foods.
-
Eat only food that is organically grown;
commercially-grown foods are deficient in minerals and other
nutrients.
-
Drink about 16 ounces of fresh vegetable juice three
or more times daily, especially carrot, celery, beet, and kale.
-
Take organic electrolyte Supplements containing
dehydrated beet juice, celery, carrot, and kale and goat whey.
-
Drinking vegetable broth is very good for building
electrolyte levels.
-
Proper diet is one of the most important resources
for rebuilding the alkaline reserve.
Note: Grains, legumes, and cooked roots such as potatoes will slow down
the cleansing process. Dairy products and meat destroy the cleansing
process.
If you have any doubts about the self-healing power of your body,
consult your naturopath or health practitioner for advise!
