IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT
pH
The
real battle for health is over pH. So, what is pH? The simplest
definition is this: pH is a chemistry measurement of the presence
of acid or alkaline in a substance. The pH scale goes from
0 – 14
with 7.0 being neutral – neither acid or alkaline.
Most Acid - 0___________________7___________________14
- Most Alkaline
Here are some illustrations of pH measurements:
Gastric juice 1.0 – 5.0
Hydrochloric acid 1.0
Blood Plasma 7.3 – 7.45
Pancreatic Juice 8.4 – 8.9
Pure water 7.0 – The perfect beverage!
Cokes 2.3 – very, very acid!!
Fruit juices 3.5 – Too acid to drink lots!!
Our bodies must maintain a blood level pH of 7.45 in order to
live. Death results at lower or higher blood levels.
Measuring the pH of our saliva and urine gives us important
health information. For example, if we can bring our bodies to
a 6.5 pH reading, CANCER CELLS and other diseases CANNOT SURVIVE
THERE. This is very important.
Here are instructions for measuring your own pH urine
and saliva levels.
- Purchase a roll of pH paper from your pharmacy. If you cannot
find it, Bates/Swope enterprises offer it for sale. (1-800-447-9772)
- Open the plastic container and remove the pH roll of paper,
wrapped in gold foil (most likely.)
- Replace the roll in the plastic container.
- Pull
a 1 ¼” piece
out of the slot for use.
- See below;
FOR TESTING URINE
Test only first thing in the morning upon arising. Let some urine
go into the toilet. Then catch a small amount in a small container.
Finish urinating.
Place the piece of pH paper in the container of urine and hold
for a count of 20. Remove from the urine and compare the color
of the pH paper with the color chart provided for you. Record
this. Do this for a week and average your scores. The goal is
to get a 6.0 – 7.0 or above (not above 7.5, however) reading.
FOR SALIVA TESTING
Take a clean spoon and spit into it until you have enough saliva
to get the pH paper thoroughly wet, after 20 second count,
read the color chart, as above, and record your reading. An
ideal score is 6.5 – 7.5.
If you do not have ideal ratings, adjust your diet by following
the Food Chart provided which shows foods that burn acid and
those which burn alkaline.
Taking daily servings of BarleyLife® is
the easiest best possible way to move your scores toward alkaline.
(Most people are too acid). Squeezing a wedge of lemon in your
water is another excellent way to accomplish this goal.
Dr. William Cowden, an MD graduate of the Medical School in
Houston, Texas provided the following facts about what happens
when pH is not balanced.
THE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM
Too much acid OR alkaline causes “debris” to collect
on artery walls – causing plaque formation. That causes
less blood flow, less oxygen and nutrients and a heart attack
becomes possible. High blood pressure can be expected.
THE NERVOUS SYSTEM
When pH in brain cells is off center, appropriate chemicals are
not produced and cells can’t communicate properly. This
can result in insomnia, anxiety, depression, neuroses, psychoses
and memory loss.
THE STRUCTURAL SYSTEM
The wrong pH causes calcium to be released from the bones and
go into muscles, causing cramping. Osteoporosis, weakened vertebrae,
back pain and degenerative arthritis can also result.
THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM
Enzyme dysfunction occurs and results in indigestion, gaseousness,
bloating, and abdominal cramping. Malnutrition results. Undigested
food ferments etc.
THE INTESTIONAL SYSTEM
Colon cells dysfunction and diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome,
constipation or diverticulosis. It can also cause colitis,
Crohn’s disease or hemorrhoids.
THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
People become susceptible to viral, bacterial, fungal and other
infectious diseases as well as cancer.
THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
Bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, along with chronic cough, asthma,
allergies, including hay fever are common conditions.
THE URINARY SYSTEM
Bladder infections, calcium crystals, kidney stones are common
conditions when the pH is not balanced.
Much,
much more could be written but you get the point. Getting your
body balanced in pH can save you much suffering and costly
doctor’s
expenses.
