Guest guest Posted November 15, 2003 Report Share Posted November 15, 2003 Most pH test kits use litmus paper. This would be okay for checking the the pH of a clear fluid such as saliva or urine. If you are thinking of using it to test blood pH, it would not work. Just guessing since I had asked the question on blood pH earlier. If you have had a recent blood test it may have been something that was measured by the lab. It is not something that a person can accurately, or safely, do for themself.

Not exactly. I was making the point that the effects of diet on pH are less predictable than most people believe, and the effects of pH on cancer growth and their interaction w/cancer treatments are much less predictable than most believe, and that therefore it's unwise for a person w/cancer to go out of their way just to try to alkalinize (or acidify) unless they have a specific, informed medical reason for doing so (in the context of their overall treatment plan). For instance, if I was taking pancreatic enzymes or the Hoxsey formula, I would try to stay on the alkaline side in order to enhance their effectiveness.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Leonard is very correct in his advice about pH. If you want to have a better understanding of pH and how it works in physiology, go to some of the online anesthesia residency programs, e.g., http://www.qldanaesthesia.com/AcidBaseBook/ Although intended for those whose vocation it is to pass gas, and it does not cover cancer, it will prepare you with enough of a background to study the complexities of cancer and pH.

Testing the urine is not a valid indicator of tissue and fluid pH. It varies widely throughout the day. Saliva pH taken in the morning on arising is the closest indicator we have to resting cell and lymph pH.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Proton Pressure >75 means the body tissues are acidic and the liver is dumping amonia into the bloodstream to alkalize it, otherwise you die. You are also losing bone (calcium) in the process. Dr. Recommends ANODYNE ACD helps to bring this in balance. Baking soda in warm water on an empty stomach also sends bicarbonate past the pyloric valve to assist in balancing the acidic body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Note: forwarded message attached. Fellow QX users, I love this device and continue to get great results. Yet, I sometimes find certain readings misleading, and I question them when they fly in the face of obvious evidence to the contrary. This posting is not about bashing the QX, but to raise real issues from which we may all receive feedback from competent practioners. The proton/electron ph business is a big issue. The explanations I have seen with regard to the interpretation of those values seem patently wrong and unreliable.If any of us think that any large percentage of patients are alkaline ph, I believe we are wrong.In 30+ years of testing urine/blood for ph, I doubt that even 8% of those patients were alkaline, or even neutral. Ongoing states of acidosis in sick people is the norm. It is even the norm in patients who appear to be "healthy". To the credit of the QX, it has often been successful in turning acidotic patients to a state of alkylosis. For this determination, I rely on quality ph paper used in a morning urine ph check. I do not, however, rely on the QX readings to note those changes. A healthy newborn has a blood ph of approximately 7.4, which is touted as "ideal". It is a great goal, but I am happy with any move toward neutrality. In order to show an alkaline ph, your diet would have to be heavily weighted in raw fruits and vegetables. Aside from certain grains, virtually everything we ingest is acidic. How many sick people eat alkaline forming diets??? Please keep in mind that many alkaline-forming foods are themselves acidic, which confuses many people. This has to do with the bodies biochemical "buffering" system, which would require some chemistry background and a whole separate volume/book to explain in detail. No human I have seen has displayed alkaline ph unless more than 1/2 of their diet is fruits and vegetables. Any indicator that shows alkaline ph in people that do not eat such a diet is virtually wrong by definition. Food for thought..................

Guest guest Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Hi, I am a lab scientist and normal blood ph is 7.35 to 7.45 (slightly alkaline). Trying to achieve blood ph out of these ranges would result in ketoacidosis or alkaline crisis. The body has its own built in buffering system: lungs, HCO3/Hco2 etc. Urine (ph 5 to 9) and saliva ph will vary much more.

Guest guest Posted September 30, 2005 Report Share Posted September 30, 2005 Perhaps I wasn't making myself clear and in fact I was reponding to a different issue (the fact that KT acid does swing the body alkaline). I didn't say our pH couldn't be controlled by what we eat over time. What I was trying to say is it's not DIRECTLY influenced by intake. It's not like adding two pH sources together and the result falls somewhere in between. There are checks and balances the body performs as a result of what's ingested. Some acids cause the body to overcompensate with an alkaline response. KT fits that profile just like citrus fruits. I also happen to agree with the " alkaline " principle and it's one of the reasons why I keep drinking KT. (I'm a " Cayce " enthusiast and he stated this principle back in the 30's or 40's.) Cheers, - Len PH I am not sure I can agree with Len on this........... I believe the TOTAL body ph is NOT " self regulated " and can be controlled (over time) by what we eat/drink.........(KT for example) I have " thought " that disease/virus etc does not appear in an " alkaline " body.....(e et al) Where am I wrong on this ???
