Smooth transaction. prompt delivery. good product. Using this product to measure the PH of my body for (Baking Soda, Blackstrap Molasses Protocol). In one single treatment decreased my PSA from 4.0 to 2.9. Updated on 1/17/2017 HYDRION pH test tape, it is a reliable way to check the body pH and your health. People may think they are healthy until one day, they feel symptoms and a comprehensive health check reveals serious medical condition, and sometimes the damage is irreversible. If they would check the acid and alkaline balance for health, then they could find the problem 2 to 3 years ahead, by checking the pH of saliva and Urine. For that reason I use basically HYDRION pH test tape, and now and then pH Test Strips as a second reference. The Importance of Acid and Alkaline Balance for Health Virtually all degenerative diseases including cancer, heart disease, arthritis, osteoporosis, kidney and gallstones, and tooth decay are associated with excess acidity in the body. While the body has a homeostatic mechanism that maintains a constant pH 7.4 in the blood, this mechanism works by depositing and withdrawing acid, and alkaline minerals from other locations including the bones, soft tissues, body fluids and saliva. Therefore, the pH of these other tissues can fluctuate greatly. The pH of saliva and urine offers a window through which you can see the overall pH balance in your body. Cancer cannot exist in an alkaline environment. All forms of arthritis are associated with excess acidity. Acid in the body dissolves both teeth and bones. Whatever health situation you are faced with, you can monitor your progress toward a proper acid/alkaline balance by testing your saliva and Urine pH. How to Do the Saliva pH Test Wait at least 2 hours after eating. Fill your mouth with saliva and then swallow it. Do this again to help ensure that the saliva is clean. Then the third time, put some saliva onto pH paper. Wait a few seconds until the pH paper stops changing color. The pH paper should turn blue. This indicates that your saliva is slightly alkaline at a healthy pH of 7.4. If it is not blue, compare the color with the chart that comes with the pH paper. If your saliva is acid (below pH of 7.0) wait two hours and repeat the test. Saliva pH and Cancer "When healthy, the pH of blood is 7.4, the pH of spinal fluid is 7.4, and the pH of saliva is 7.4. Thus the pH of saliva parallels the extra cellular fluid...pH test of saliva represents the most consistent and most definitive physical sign of the ionic calcium deficiency syndrome...The pH of the non-deficient and healthy person is in the 7.5 (dark blue) to 7.1 (blue) slightly alkaline range. The range from 6.5 (blue-green) which is weakly acidic to 4.5 (light yellow) which is strongly acidic represents states from mildly deficient to strongly deficient, respectively. Most children are dark blue, a pH of 7.5. Over half of adults are green-yellow, a pH of 6.5 or lower, reflecting the calcium deficiency of aging and lifestyle defects. Cancer patients are usually a bright yellow, a pH of 4.5, “especially when terminal." What are Acid and Alkaline? Water (H2O) ionizes into hydrogen (H+) and hydroxide (OH-) ions. When these ions are in equal proportions, the pH is a neutral 7. When there are more H+ ions than OH- ions then the water is said to be acid. If OH- ions outnumber the H+ ions then the water is alkaline. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14 and is logarithmic, which means that each step is ten times the previous. In other words, a pH of 4.5 is 10 times more acid than 5.5, 100 times more acid than 6.5 and 1,000 times more acid than 7.5. The body doesn’t understand pH, but at the cell level Millivolts are very important. Alkalinity or Acidity (pH) vs. Millivolts (mV) The term pH means Potential Hydrogen and thus this pH number corresponds also to a voltage measurement. Where the full range of pH scale goes from a low acidic pH 0 = +400 mV to a high alkaline pH 14 = -400 mV level. At our body temperature the pH = 7.4 means –25mV. Our cells and all living things are direct current (DC) systems created by the movement of sodium and potassium ions in and out of cell membranes. Normal, healthy cells have an electrical charge of about -70 mV across the cell membrane. This electrical gradient is critical to the process of ion transport across the cell membrane and normal cell metabolism. Key features of cellular metabolism include the exchange of oxygen and nutrients for cellular waste, and ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) energy generation. These metabolic processes are almost always lacking in dysfunctional cells and improved as the cell membrane charge returns to normal. According to Nobel Prize winner Otto Warburg, We have cell voltages of minus 70 to minus 90 millivolts. When we are born a healthy cell will have an electrical charge of between -70millivolts and -90 millivolts. As we age the electrical charge around the cell decreases; to as little as -35 millivolts by age 70 or so. Scientist explains it this way. A NORMAL cell has an electrical potential of -70 millivolts, an AGED cell at -50 mV to -35 mV, and a CANCER or ill cell is 15 mV Any challenge to the cell, such as oxygen/nutrient deficiency, toxicity, or inflammation can degrade the gradient from its optimal -70 mV. As the gradient falters, sodium is less efficiently pumped out of the cell, resulting in edema (fluid retention) and inflammation. As the gradient falls lower, oxygen delivery across the cell membrane into the interior of the cell is compromised. Without oxygen, the cell cannot generate ATP energy; the sodium-potassium ion pumping mechanism cannot be fueled, and the gradient falls further. A downward cycle of disordered cellular physiology will follow, which can ultimately lead to cell degeneration. What you can do if the pH of Saliva and urine persist under 7.0? First do a Comprehensive Blood and Urine test at “walkinlab” for around $150. Second contact your primary doctor. Third clear your kitchen from all processed food, including micro way (it kills the enzymes and turns an alive food to a dead food). A healthy body is a well nourished body. The role of food is to provide us with the nutrients and energy that we need to live. Only life generates life. All foods should be living, this is because when food is devitalized it generates illness and when it is dead it generates death. Processed foods are devitalized foods. Stay away of sugar and anything that contain sugar. Stop eating refined carbohydrates as they turn to sugar. Whiter the bread sooner you die. Do not drink soft drinks or any drink with sugar. Do NOT keep alcohol at home or work. Instead, choose HEALTHY alternatives for those moments you desire to drink an alcoholic beverage. The bottled water has preservatives too. Most of the bottled water it originates from public water sources and is then purified through a rigorous, seven-step purification process called Hydro-7™. But they use preservatives making the bottled water acidic pH ~ 5.5 and they add a disinfectant, 4mg/L monochloramine (chloroamine, NH2Cl). Aside of a larger debate, one thing for certain is that chloramine kills bacteria in our tap water, so it will also kill or dramatically injure cultures, which we use to ferment (yeasts, lactobacilli and kombucha cultures all). "Chloramine is not a persistent disinfectant and decomposes easily from a chemistry point of view (Valentine et al, 1998) but for water supply purposes chloramine is stable and it takes days to dissipate in the absence of substances exerting chloramine demand (Wilczak et al., 2003b). Therefore, it is not practical to remove chloramine by letting an open container of water stand because it may take days for chloramine to dissipate. However, chloramine is very easily and almost instantaneously removed by preparing a cup of tea or coffee, preparing food (e.g., making a soup with a chicken stock). Adding fruit to a water pitcher (e.g., slicing peeled orange or lemon in to a 1- gal water pitcher) will neutralize chloramine within 30 minutes. If desired, chloramine and ammonia can be completely removed from the water by boiling; however, it will take 20 minutes of gentle boil to do that. Just a short boil of water to prepare tea or coffee removed about 30% of chloramine.... If desired, both chlorine and chloramine can be removed for drinking water purposes by an activated carbon filter point of use device that can be installed on a kitchen faucet. If desired, both chlorine and chloramine can be removed for bathing purposes by dissolving Vitamin C in the bath water (1000 mg Vitamin C tablet will neutralize chloramine in an average bath. The skin is an organ and absorbs everything. Eat an alkaline diet of raw vegetables, and find a Mediterranean nutrition plan that work for you. This is only the beginning of a journey but you are at least 2 to 3 years ahead because you were using Health pH tape and strips.

I've been aware of the importance of monitoring pH levels for about 15 or more years and this has proven to be the most reliable and inexpensive pH paper I've been able to find anywhere; I'm glad to see Amazon carries it now! You can test either urine pH or salivary pH with this paper. The most accurate way to test is by using a small dixie cup to collect a urine sample, dip a small piece of the paper into your collected sample, quickly remove and immediately compare the strip color to the color code chart on the side of the package. Yes, you can also test urine pH by simply holding the paper in the urine stream BUT you run the risk of inaccurate readings, simply because the force of the urine stream has the potential to alter the chemical coating on the paper--best to test on a contained sample, in my opinion. Salivary pH can be easily tested by, pardon the bluntness, simply spitting on the paper and comparing to the color chart. Ideally, you want your pH readings to be more toward the alkaline end of the scale than the acidic. According to conventional wisdom, degenerative diseases like cancer and inflammatory diseases like arthritis are acid-friendly; it's said that patients with these conditions will test in the "yellow" range. It's also theorized that moving into the alkaline range has the potential to reverse these conditions. Although you want to alkalize, you don't want to over-alkalize. Just FYI, I myself aim to be in the dark green, 7.2-7.4 range and no more alkaline than that. Do a little web research to educate yourself on the concept of alkalizing, it's well worth your time & effort. Over the years, Hydrion paper has proven its reliabilty to me. I've tried others, but always come back to this one. Most highly recommended for its ease of use: A+! ___ These are my go-to alkalizers when I find my readings are leaning too far in the acidic range. But I STRONGLY URGE you to do your own research FIRST: Rugby Sodium Bicarbonate 10 grains tablets relieve heartburn, antacid - 1000 ea Wholesome Sweeteners - Organic Molasses Unsulphured - 32 oz.

YES, your skin absorbs minerals : ) ****Many people recommend this as an alkalizer, but I STRONGLY DISAGREE, because I think it simply alkalizes by "borrowing" minerals from your bones (a bad idea, IMHO). Yes, it will improve your readings, but I don't use it and do NOT recommend it for alkalizing purposes.
