Urine Ph

December 31, 1999

Thank you ... that lead me to more links and an apparent " consensus " of

readings!!!! How I know how to interpret the pH readings...

a.. Only in severe diseases does the pH get slightly below 7.0 or close to

8.0. []

b.. A range of 6.50 - 6.80 for the first urination of the day is viewed as

" optimum " - Biological Terrain test[*] (used by Cheney)

c.. Ideal pH by the time of day:[*]

in the morning, (pH = 6.5 - 7.0)

in the evening (pH = 7.5 - 8.0)

Urine pH

Ken, for what it's worth, in the " optimum " category for urine pH on the

Biological Terrain test that Cheney gives, it gives the range as 6.50 - 6.80.

Take care. Carol

Hi! Jim

Just a personal note. I was able to correlate worsening CFS symptoms with

increasing acid urine PH readings. Surprisingly, the differences were minute. I

was usually 6.9, when I dropped down to

6.7, I was virtually comatose. I have no idea of what I would look like if I

ever went to a 4, which you state is normal. What I ate had no effect on my

urine PH, as I had a list of acid forming

and alkali forming foods in the body and could not budge the numbers by food

intake, so whatever is keeping us acidic is overriding the effect of the food we

eat.

Interesting? huh!

Hi Merle,

I guess it is a mistake to compare urine pH values in a healthy

person to urine pH values in a person w/FMS/CFIDS. I suspect that the

homeostatic controls the body has put in place to maintain balance in

each condition will possibly effect the output.

You are probably experiencing a greater sensitivity to pH changes

because your system is " hanging onto the edge " pH-wise.

How is your breathing? Do you deal w/ acid reflux?

If breathing is shallow, I am guessing low CO2 levels which indicates

lack of O2 at cell level. Kind of a " catch 22 " the body is low on

CO2 so it reduces breathing to build up CO2,but the reason it is low

on CO2 is that there is insufficient O2 at cell level (or O2 not

properly utilized). Shallow breathing further inhibits oxygen intake.

Self imposed changing in breathing does not do much to alter condition

since the blood is not in state to accept increased O2. It may prove

beneficial over long term (guessing here).

Also, CO2 plays a role in the creation of HCL for gastric juices.

acid reflux is an indicator of too high pH for stomach acid, which

then interferes with the bodies ability to ionize minerals for

absorption.

As you monitor your urine pH do you record daily activities and

stressors related to the day as well as foods eaten. Also, you may

want to see if there is a correlation with the days pH findings and

what was eaten 1 - 2 days prior.

Very interesting. (just got a mental image of that short guy on

Laugh-In. dating myself)

All the best,

Jim

Hi!

Fruits and vegetables are supposed to make the body more alkaline, meats and

grains more acidic. I think that is why the cancer diet stresses vegetables so

much. I think a diet of fruit in the

morning, protein and vege's at lunch, and carbs and vege's at supper is probably

the best for people with CFS. It gives us the necessary nutrients but doesn't

overload the body and gives it lots

of time to digest before we eat it again.

Just my thoughts, no proof.

Willis Langford, old guy (80+), bright, sells glyconutrients (Mannatech) but doesn;t push them on anybody, ex Navy Seal, offers counsel, collects info from all over and puts it toghether. Huge 300+ page document called Mastering Autism. Some folks dismiss him, but over the years, he has been right about just about everything we have ever done with Sam

He's not into chelation.

He has written several articles for Autism File magazine.

What would be a reason of too high urine Ph in the morning? My understanding is

that the first urine Ph should be in 5s the going to 7s during the day and high

Ph may cause problems (what kind of problems?). Can someone please shine the

light onto the issue?

Thank you!

P.S The saliva Ph is in mid-6s to low 7s in the morning.

Katerinka, it's really important to stress that a single urine pH

measurement isn't of much value. Urine pH is usually all over the map.

Only real way to do a urine pH test is a 24-hour collection, that shaken

up and sampled and measured. 3 or 5 gallon water containers work well

for this. Too high a urine pH, when tested properly, is very valuable

info, because too high a pH over a long period can indicated major

problems; the brain as one example, goes on the fritz with too high a pH

consistently. Not nice to fool Mother Nature!

Dave, I was reading that the pattern is important - the first morning one is the

one that should be low Ph. Then I guess it may go all over the map depending on

what was eaten etc.

I find even the first morning piddle pH varies widely, probably from

whatever I ate and drank the night before.

a 24 hour collection is just that, a big bottle to collect urine in. No

other way it can all be mixed and measures later (after again

stirring/mixing...) Large water bottles are pretty available..

Hello. I have the following info in my document folder so thought I would share

it for those interested in PH levels.

Unfortunately, I do not have the link to the website where I got the info so can

not include it here and I can not answer any questions on the subject because I

have copyed it from a website. Do a search engine search with key words to find

out more about any of the following. It is quite long and not edited at all.

Quote:

Daily Cycles Test

This is an on-going test over several days to even a couple of weeks to

determine how your pH swings during the day under different circumstances and

food consumption habits.

Take a sheet of paper and make 5 columns headed " time " , " consumption " , " saliva

pH " , " urine pH " , " feel " .

You will record your urine and saliva pH every time you go to the bathroom. When

you wake up in the morning record the time and your pH values and how you feel.

When you eat breakfast, record the time. Next time you go to the bathroom record

the time, your pH values and how you feel. Next time you eat, record the time

and what you ate. Next time you go to the bathroom record the time, pH values

and how you feel. Do this throughout the whole day and over many days.

Here you will start to track what you eat, how that makes your pH sway, and how

you feel during the process. It can be an invaluable tool to begin to make

associations like; every time I eat x food, my pH a few hours later goes to y

value, and I feel like…. You may start to notice patterns that are either for

your benefit or perhaps not. Do it for a long enough period and you will start

to see cause and effect. You are on the road to taking real charge of your

health.

Wake Up Test

First thing in the morning, your eyes open up, you roll over and test your

saliva pH. In a best situation, your pH reads 6.4. Individuals with either

chronic degenerative diseases or those setting themselves up for such will see

their wake up saliva from 5.5 or lower with concurrent urine pH as low as 4.5.

These values represent a long term acid stress on the body. Generally this means

that an individuals alkaline reserves are very low to depleted. In general you

do not want to see a wake up saliva pH below 6.1. Seeing a low saliva pH and a

higher urine pH is not where you want to be. You need to correct that.

Salivating Test

You sit down to eat, you get the aroma of your favorite mealtime dish, you are

ready to chow down and something begins to happen in your mouth. You begin to

salivate. This is a reflection of the enzyme amylase kicking in for the starch

digestion process. This enzyme needs a range of pH ideally around 7.2 pH. So if

you have adequate alkaline reserves in your body, testing your saliva pH as you

salivate before a meal should give you a pH reading of around 7.2. If your pH is

not getting up to at least 7.0, you can assume there is stress in your alkaline

reserves and the further below 7 it goes, the more depleted are those reserves.

You could also suspect digestion all around is not doing so well. This typically

indicates a longer term problem and more serious effort needs to be applied to

help restore overall health.

Acid Meal Test

Here you are going to eat an acid forming food evening meal. Meat, pasta, beans,

bread, nuts, fish, no vegetables. Next morning, check your first urine pH. The

meal the previous evening was too acid, but the body needs to be getting rid of

this acid, so the urine should reflect this. Best situation would be wake up

urine from 4.5 up to 5.8 or so. This would be a reflection of your body having

enough alkaline reserves that it was buffering the acid and the adrenals and

kidneys had appropriate energy to get rid of it. It is a healthy response.

Wake up urine after the acid evening meal between 5.8 and 6.8 is a reflection

that the body is barely compensating, and the higher the pH the worse the

situation.

Wake up urine after the acid evening meal of 6.8 or higher is not good. It is a

possible indication that the body is dumping bicarbonate ions and may be in the

ammonia cycle of the liver to help deal with the acid. This situation probably

means depleted alkaline reserves and possible exhausted adrenal glands as well

as probable digestive problems.

If the above situation or an alkaline morning urine is accompanied by an acid

saliva less then 5.8, the situation is getting worse, and the further apart the

numbers, the worse it is. Definite remedial action for alkaline reserve build up

is critical.

As a point of reference, have you ever been to a nursing home and smelled an

ammonia odor? Did you think that was because the nursing home was doing a good

job of house cleaning? Well that is not the case. What is happening is you are

smelling the urine of very sick people in their last days. Their bodies are in a

give up state, they are likely dumping any alkaline buffers they have and the

body is in last ditch mode trying to maintain sufficient blood pH for life to

hang on by converting the acid in their systems to ammonia. The single biggest

thing those individuals need is more water for hydration and a lot of alkalizing

minerals. I would venture to guess that if this were to occur in nursing homes

around the country a lot of their patients would be getting better and going

home.

Alkaline Meal Test

Here you are going to eat an alkalizing evening meal. Basically all vegetables.

Green leafy veggies, broccoli, lima beans, carrots, etc. Next morning check your

first urine pH.

If the pH range is 4.5 to 5.5 you can consider it a too acid response. It means

your body has a lot of excess acidity stored and you need to keep up those

alkaline evening meals until the numbers come up.

If you have a pH range from 5.5 to 6.8 it could be considered that you have a

better level of alkaline reserves, but key to that assumption would be how you

feel. If you feel healthy this range is ok. If you have symptoms of problems,

you may need to dig more into the situation.

If the pH range is 6.8 to 8.5 again it could mean all is very well IF you are

perfectly healthy. However, if you were experiencing serious symptoms of ill

health, this alkaline response could be an indication that your cells are too

toxic to use the alkaline reserves and instead are being dumped.

It should be mentioned here that there can be times when someone consumes many

vegetables and alkaline minerals and their pH readings average far above 6.4.

They believe this to be healthy but it actually is reflecting an underlying

imbalance. Instead of using the minerals they are being dumped. Further testing

will many times show an anabolic/catabolic imbalance - some clinicians also

refer to this as an anaerobic/dysaerobic imbalance. This is related to the mix

of fatty acids and sterols on cell membrane walls. If these fatty acids and

sterols go askew it will affect cell membrane permeability so what goes in does

not necessarily get assimilated the way it should.

Moving PH

To get a quick " average " pH, you can measure yourself two hours after breakfast

and two hours after lunch. Do this over a period of days and get your average

numbers. Then use this formula:

(Urine pH ____ + (Saliva pH X 2 ___ ) ) / Divided by 3 = ____

Average pH Between 6 and 7

Some practitioners suggest that if your average pH is between 6 and 7, you can

just use the neutral calciums of gluconate and orotate to build up your total

alkalinity along with other minerals and trace minerals.

Average pH Above 7

If your pH is above 7, it is possible that vitamin C (ascorbic acid) can be

useful. Clinicians have found about 1000mg twice a day of C is good, and the

higher above pH 7 you go (especially if this is the urine #), the more vitamin C

you can take.

Vitamin D is contraindicated.

NOTE: You should note that it is entirely possible to be too alkaline. Many go

around and say alkalize, alkalize, alkalize, but they fail to point out that

there is a flip side to everything. Being too alkaline presents its own set of

clinical manifestations and needs to be equally addressed.

Average pH Below 6

If your pH is below 6, some clinicians will add calcium citrate or calcium

carbonate (something like coral calcium is the carbonate form). With pH 5.6 to

6 clinicians have found that adding 1000 IU of vitamin D once or twice a day is

beneficial and pH from 5.2 to 5.6 up to 5000 IU of vitamin D is good, while pH

below 5.0 up to 50000 IU of vitamin D once or twice a day would be ok as

little vitamin D is being absorbed in the acid terrain. It is possible to use

vitamin D to help push the pH up. Stop the calcium citrate and carbonate when

you come into pH range 6 to 7. Pull back on vitamin D and go to cod liver oil

for vitamin D requirements. Do not take vitamin C. All of this is with the

caveat below.

Note: We have not talked about this but it needs to be mentioned. This

information should not to be acted upon without knowing a lot more than what is

here. You should consider coming to one of our workshops if you are serious

about wanting to know this work at an effective level. If you are a consumer and

not a practitioner, you should work with a professional that understands the

numbers.

IMPORTANT: pH issues and what you do about them must ALWAYS be seen in the light

of a person's breath rate and breath hold time. The lungs are initiated to

regulate pH on a moment to moment basis. A normal average breath rate is 16

breaths per minute. If a person for instance has a resting breath rate of 9

breaths per minute, that individual has a potential alkalosis issue. (We breathe

to blow off acid--high breath rate, blood leans towards the acid side of normal;

low breath rate and the blood leans towards the alkaline side of normal.)

What does this mean? It means that if a person with the low breath rate were

seen as having an acidosis problem simply because they had a really low pH

(urine or saliva), and a protocol giving vitamin D and certain calciums to raise

pH were elected to be done, it absolutely would be the wrong thing to do. So

anything that was said above about moving pH needs much more understanding about

physiology than what we can put here at the moment. Unquote.

Question of the day?

If you change the overall ph of extracellular fluids,....does this mean that the

ph inside a cancer cell is also changed?

August 2, 2009

Ok am having difficulty following this thread. In layman's terms are you saying

that a more alkaline ph helps the cancer cells spread???

In summary....a lot of foods that are good for you have an alkaline

ash. Eat them if you like them. Some foods that are good for you have

an acid ash. Eat them if you like them. If you find that you feel

better with more of the alkaline foods, or if you simply prefer them for

some reason, then eat predominantly those foods. None of this will

cause any major changes in alkalinity in the body. The one exception is

the kidney tubules. Maintaining a diet consisting predominantly foods

that have an alkaline ash can benefit kidney tubule detoxification, a

good thing. Measuring pH of the urine is merely an indicator of the

food eaten in the last two hours or so. It is not an indicator for the

entire body, merely recent events in the kidney tubules.

When it comes to more heroic efforts to alkalize the body you are

getting into more questionable territory. I'm talking here about using

baking soda and cesium chloride and other chemicals in an effort to

alkalize yourself. With cancer, the thing you would want to alkalize

would be the environment around the tumor. This is difficult to do in a

human without imbibing toxic amounts of alkaline chemicals. Your body

will do whatever it can do to keep your blood pH between 6.45 and 7.45.

You don't want to overwhelm its efforts in any way. The major player in

blood pH is actually respiration. You can easily force yourself, nearly

immediately, into the alkaline end of the range by panting like a dog.

Try it. If you do it for awhile you will actually feel dizzy. Keep

doing it and you will pass out. This is a safety mechanism to get you

to stop the behaviour. Your body is saying " Knock it off, Buddy! I

don't want to be alkaline! "

When it comes to the inside of a tumor, that environment is under a

feedback mechanism also. The respiration of the tumor is anaerobic (not

entirely) so it produces a lot of lactic acid. Too much lactic acid

hanging around and the cell can't divide (mitosis), so the tumor

" learns " to pump out the acid and to collect it into little globs which

it walls off inside the cells. The cancer cells have to work hard to do

this. Things like cesium chloride can help them when they alkalize the

goop inside the cell a bit. If you force even more alkalinity on them

you might start to hurt the cancer. The problem is, by that time you

could easily be in the danger zone for the rest of the body. Also,

there is no evidence that you can get to that point in the cancer cells,

just ideas that are bandied about.

So, eat healthy foods. Don't bother with urine pH, unless you have

kidney problems or are currently on a detox regimen. Don't use baking

soda (unless you have kidney problems or unless you have low carbon

dioxide on a blood chemistry panel). Don't use cesium.
