How to raise your
pH – for optimum health
The best way to
raise your pH is to totally avoid acidifying drugs, and to cut
your intake of acid-forming processed meats, high sugar foods,
and coffee by about half. And at the same time, take a high
quality calcium supplement each day such as
Coral C.
If your pH is 6.0 or above,
taking Coral C and CAA may be all you require.
However if your pH is below
6.0, your long term health is under serious risk and a combined
food and supplement approach is recommended. Ideally your pH
should be 6.8 to 7.0.
Causes of a low pH and
ways to raise it
If your Saliva Test reads
consistently below pH 6.8 it is a reliable sign that your
immunity is below normal. In other words, your body cells are
lower in oxygen than desirable, and therefore have less
resistance to cancer and other serious disorders.
A low pH can be caused by
three things:
1. Taking a prescribed
statin drug, such as Lipex or Lipitor to artificially lower
cholesterol. (It is wise to look into the serious side effects
of these drugs. Go to Google on the Internet and type in
something like ‘statin drugs dangers of ’. Then discuss
the risks with your doctor. ) Other pharmaceutical drugs and
weight loss preparations can have similar effects.
2. Not enough calcium. This
is caused by lack of high calcium foods in your diet, and/or
excess high protein foods, especially processed meats like
hamburger and sausage. These meats are high in added phosphorus
which hinders the uptake of calcium.
3. High sugar foods, and
excess coffee, both of which are highly acid forming.

Why
is my health closely linked with pH?
If you were to unplug your deep freeze and leave it two weeks, then open the door, you would see that the food inside had become a mass of unhealthy mould and bacteria. Where did all the bacteria come from? The door was closed all the time. The answer is
“the bacteria was always there.” However the temperature had changed, to one that was more suitable for the ‘bugs’ to thrive in.
A similar thing happens to our body cells when our pH drops from a healthy 6.8, to a lower figure, especially below 6.0. Our cell interior changes from an environment of being oxygen-rich, to oxygen-poor. This encourages viruses and the breeding of bacteria. Human disease thrives in an oxygen-poor and acidic body cells.
Tooth decay in children
Many young children today have a pH below 6.0. Their teeth are so rotten they need to be extracted. This bacterial decay is not caused by lack of fluoride, or even too much sugar, but lack of alkalising minerals in the diet, especially Calcium, but also Magnesium and Potassium. Lack of these alkalising minerals is a major cause of ill health today, in both children and adults.
When our saliva pH drops below 6.0, our body is also susceptible to cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, gum disease, tooth decay and numerous other disorders.
Cancer in particular requires an acid and low oxygen environment to flourish. Almost all terminal cancer patients possess a very low body pH.
Low pH is also a major factor in poor mental health, especially depression.
PMT is caused by a shift in body pH and can be avoided by reversing the acid
– alkalinity of the diet during that week.
Obesity
Even obesity is now linked to pH levels. Research director Dr H. E. Hagglund says, “Weight control has virtually nothing to do with ‘will power’ and has almost everything to do with the degree of bio-balance (optimum pH) you can achieve.”
Osteoporosis
Also, a recent 7 year study on 9,000 women reported by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that those who have chronic acidosis are at greater risk for bone loss and hip fractures than those who have normal pH levels. This is because the body continually takes calcium from the bones in order to balance pH.
Why test saliva and not urine or blood?
Urine testing is unreliable as it changes with diet and exercise. Blood testing is accurate, but as blood remains within extremely narrow pH limits, 7.39 to 7.50 it requires expensive and rare equipment that can measure pH to two decimal points.
So testing of fresh saliva is the easiest and quickest way. Our mouth environment has long been recognised as a good indicator to the health of the whole body.
