ACID OR ALKALINE B.S.!!!?
Question:
Explain this to me: my saliva tests consistently after 2 hours of not drinking or eating, at 7.8 (alkaline), while my wife’s and sister’s and mother ( who is 96) test at 6-6.2 ( acid). The premise that is bandied about, is that saliva alkaline ph is indicative of general good health, while acid is the converse ( also, cancer could be indicative if one’s saliva tests acid). If that is the case, why do I feel lousy most of the time ( pains, and aches etc) while the rest of my family who test acid, feel "great to good"???? Any one have an explanation??
Not an explanation, but I would go and get checked for fibromyalgia. If the pains and aches are consistent on both sides of the body, that is a good indicator. If by feeling lousy, you mean fatigued. That is another sign. I suffered for close to 15 years before I finally found a doctor who could help. I know nothing of mouth PH though. Justin

That’s because the pH drivel is BS, as you’ve found out.

Your saliva pH is best tested immediately upon awakening. Try checking it then. Cher (Who believes your assumptions of others, speaks truths about yourself). Healthy Blessings.. O/ Let Freedom Ring!

Here’s a good article and some books on acidity: http://www.healthresearchbooks.com/articles/ph.htm Carole http://www.austarmetro.com.au/~hubbca – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text –

Sometimes I sleep with my mouth open, sometimes it’s closed. Would that change the pH? I went to bed once with a "chewable vitamin" tablet that I was supposed to suck. When I woke up in the morning it was still there. Would that change my saliva pH? How about if I drank warm milk as I went to sleep? Perhaps saliva pH is best tested with the brain turned off. — Oisin "Curly++" Curtin SURVIVOR http://pages.infinit.net/curlypp/

Sure. It’s BS.
