“How do you know if your PH is out of balance, and how to fix it?”

Ohhhhh! I am not capable of explaining this stuff….. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

But to kick start you interest………..you buy some PH strips from here:

Take your PH value 3 times a day, or more, with both saliva and urine and make a note of what they are. I found it very interesting and I was taking it every time I had a pee which was 6 or 7 times a day.

What this does is to show you what the food you eat is doing to you, i.e. making you acidic or alkaline. Acidic is bad, alkaline is good. For example I used to eat a lot of rice. But rice is an acidifying food. I was unable to make myself alkaline when eating rice, but when I ate for example a salad I became slightly less acidic (i.e more alkaline), and I felt a little better.

Testing Ph value to a TOOL that showed me that, even though I could eat rice and I did not get sick from eating it, it did not help in making me more alkaline. If you body is acidic it will not heal, if it is alkaline it will heal.

I have done a rubbish job of explaining it, sorry. But if u google it more info will flow. Read the description on the above ebay site too.

Then…..when I found out that I was way acidic…I was down in the 5.5 level all day….it should be 7-7.5……..this really motivated me to find out more……so…..i read another book

http://www.amazon.co.uk/PH-Miracle-...ks&qid=1194185146&sr=8-1

Which is a pretty good….and it explains it much better than I can.

Anyway….so I started trying to alkalise my body with the food I ate. I tried eating 100pct alkalising food. Pretty tricky…..but do-able.

And I had only limited success……?

So….as per the above book, I did the 7 day veg juice only fast as a major kick-start. Was not ideal because it meant I lost more weight, which is not what I need…..but after learning all about this, I decided trying to alkalise my body was more important than losing a bit more weight. (sounds really stupid that, but I have some major weight loss problems and it was a big decision for me)

And then everything happened at once and I started healing. If u have seen my strange Cat experiment postings you will know what I’m talking about. If not…….errrrmm…due of various other experiments I was trying at that time I suddenly turned the corner and started healing.
This veg cleanse really helped along with the other experiments I was doing.

I can lend u that book if u like and I think I have a few PH stripes around somewhere too.

For a list of acidic and alkaline foods go here (this was just the first hit on google)

This knowledge led me to so many other paths. I started learning about soil, mineral content, organic food and normal super market food and actually why one is better for you than not…..everywhere I turn there is more to learn….
