“He sent them forth to preach the gospel and heal the sick.” (Luke 9:2).
After years of testing urine and saliva pH of patients, Vermont Folk Medicine doctor D.C. Jarvis M.D. made this remarkable statement: “Sickness appears on an ALKALINE URINE pH BACKGROUND.” He found that urine pH was both an indicator and a pre-indicator of health problems. Question: if urine pH is such a master indicator why aren’t we all testing urine pH when feeling below par?
An alkaline urine is pH above 7.0 on the pH scale of 0-14. Healthy vegetarians eating watermelon with occasional urine pH above 7.0 may not be a problem, but for those on a standard American diet (SAD) urine pH above 7.0 is a clear caution sign. Medical doctors typically test blood and urine pH, but if urine pH is above 7.0 do they know what to do about it? Nutritional doctors and some chiropractors teach patients to test urine and saliva pH at home with Hydrion paper (amazon.com) for about five cents a test. Many teach patients what to do if the litmus paper shows a dark blue as taught in a Nutrition-for-life kit.
The big picture is that hydrogen ion concentration (pH) in body fluids works within limits set by the Creator. A consistent deviation from a healthy pH range of urine or saliva means stress on blood pH and other systems. The bad news ...
