PH and Cancer
pH
Balancing: How To Test Your pH Levels
Test
your pH level... If you are sick or have cancer simply wet
a piece of Litmus Paper with your saliva 2 hours after a
meal. This will give a reflection of your state of health.
Salivary
pH Test:
While
generally more acidic than blood, salivary pH mirrors the
blood ( if not around meals ) and is also a fairly good
indicator of health. It tells us what the body retains.
Salivary pH is a fair indicator of the health of the extracellular
fluids and their alkaline mineral reserves.
Optimal
pH for saliva is 6.4 to 6.8. Spit upon arising before anything
is put into the mouth. A reading lower than 6.4 is indicative
of insufficient alkaline reserves. After eating, the saliva
pH should rise to 7.8 or higher. Unless this occurs, the
body has alkaline mineral deficiencies ( mainly Calcium
and Magnesium ) and will not assimilate food very well.
To deviate from ideal salivary pH for an extended time invites
illness.
Acidosis,
an extended time in the acid pH state, can result in rheumatoid
arthritis, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis,
high blood pressure, most cancers and many more. If salivary
pH stays too low, the diet should focus on fruit, vegetables
and mineral water as well as remove strong acidifiers such
as sodas, whole wheat and red meat.
Urinary
pH Test:
The
pH of the urine indicates how the body is working to maintain
the proper pH of the blood. The urine reveals the alkaline
building (anabolic) and acid tearing down (catabolic) cycles.
The pH of urine indicates the efforts of the body via the
kidneys, adrenals, lungs and gonads to regulate pH through
the buffer salts and hormones. Urine can provide a fairly
accurate picture of body chemistry, because the kidneys
filter out the buffer salts of pH regulation and provide
values based on what the body is eliminating. Urine pH can
vary from around 4.5 to 9.0 for its extremes, but the ideal
range is 5.8 to 6.8.
Foods
considered to be alkaline-forming and thus helpful to people
with consistently acid pH include: almonds, aloe vera, apples,
apricots, bee pollen, buckwheat, cabbage, cantaloupe, celery,
carrots, cucumbers, dairy products except hard cheese, dates,
dulse, poached eggs, figs, grapefruit, honey, lettuce, millet,
parsley, raisins, peaches, fresh red potatoes, pineapple,
soy products, sprouted seeds, cooked spinach, turnip tops,
wakame miso soup, azuki beans, rice, mineral water. More
alkaline-forming foods.
People
who remain too acid often display symptoms such as: anxiety,
diarrhea, dilated pupils, extroverted behavior, fatigue
in early morning, headaches, hyperactivity, hypersexuality,
insomnia, nervousness, rapid heartbeat, restless legs, shortness
of breath, strong appetite, high blood pressure, warm dry
hands and feet.
Balancing
the pH is a major step toward well-being and greater health.
Acidosis ( overly acidic body ) is the primary indicator
of Calcium Deficiency Disease. Scientists have discovered
that the body fluids of healthy people are alkaline ( high
pH ) whereas the body fluids of sick people are acidic (
low pH ). Coral Calcium can help balance your body pH.
