MY urine pH is 8 (higher alkaline) which seems high,

ONE SCHOOL OF THOUGHT-PER ANDY IT APPEARS

Per an earlier message post 22660 on Feb 14-2008, I guess in HTI (i

will have to find my book) Andy suggests a PH of 8. Page 238

SECOND SCHOOL OF THOUGHT

However another site I found says Higher alakaline PH could be the

body overcompensating for an acidic environment and effectively

dumping all of your alkalinity and that you should still try to

increase alkalinity as your body is really very acidic.

I think you could infer from the article that things like chelation

could create a burden of aciditiy..

I have not been eating my veggies (mostly protein) so i am sure my

body is not as alkaline as these readings of 7.6-8.00

PER QUOTE FROM LINK on PH ABOVE 7.50- see link below

The third possibility is the most likely: the urine is alkaline but

the internal environment, paradoxically, is acidic. In this case the

alkaline pH of the urine is not due to excessive intake of alkaline

elements through diet (which the body attempts to get rid of, just as

it does with excess acids), but to disproportionate withdrawal of

alkaline substances from the organic tissues to neutralize heavy

acidification of the internal environment. It may also indicate that

the kidneys are producing ammonia in order to buffer the acids, whish

is not a good thing.

This is common among people whose metabolism has difficulty digesting

acids. Because the acids are poorly oxidized, they cannot leave the

body through the respiratory system. The kidneys must pick up the

slack and do double duty of elimination. Although these are the acids

classified as weak, their accumulation is dangerous for the body,

which will take extreme efforts to buffer itself against the

avalanche of acids confronting it. This levy results in bringing a

large quantity of alkaline elements into the urine and thus

alkalizing it.

The urine is therefore alkaline not because of a net physiological

gain in the quantity of alkaline substances, but because of a massive

loss of alkaline elements due to the body's plunder of its reserves.

This can easily be confirmed by analyzing the types of conditions a

person in this situation suffers from to see whether they are among

those caused by acidification. In this case it is extremely important

to make the internal environment less acidic despite the alkalinity

of the urine.

I was told I was too alkaline this is 3 years ago before I fully knew

that I had mercury and other metals. I felt like crap and this

practioner said that was great. Without knowing that my body was prob

taking ca and mg from my bones, overworking the kidneys, lungs all to

compensate for being too acidic esp that dangerous area of the blood.

I eat as much alkalizing food as a can now, drink clean water,take

supplments and are chelating and feel a better than 3 years ago. Not

well just better. My urine tests around 6 now which is sl acid but

considering that I am chelating almost every week for 3 days since

Sept, its ok for now.
