PH Levels (Read 897 times)

This is a friggen joke, isn't it. This cannot possibly be for real. Next thing you know, people are gonna start putting tap water in bottles and selling it. Jesus M. Phelps.

Okay. Sorry. I ate a lovely mushroom omelet. Fresh eggs, traditional butter and chaterelles mixed with lobster mushrooms. I feel better. The human body is very complex. The physiology that handles acid and base production, equilibration and elimination involves many organ systems. Your urinary system is one of them. But so too is your pulmonary system and your entire blood/hematologic system. With these in place, your body is able to keep its pH at 7.4. Not 7.39-7.41. But exactly 7.40. Your body is very very good at doing this, and the moment it senses something pushing your pH in one direction or another, it rapidly deals with the problem. When you pH deviates much from 7.4, you become very ill or very symptomatic. As a result of this, your urine pH can have a very wide normal range as your body handles the excess acids and bases that it consumes, encounters or creates over the course of the day. This is totally normal. If you ingest some expensive nutritional supplement designed to provide you alkali, you will simply pee off the excess base. Immediately. If you go out and run a hard 5k, set a 3 minute PR and feel like somebody took sledge hammers to your legs with the lactic acid we presume causes the pain, your body will: a) buffer that acid very efficiently, and b) rapidly metabolize it away. Acid / base physiology is very cool and very complicated. It is one of those awesome things we have as a source for using Socratic method when teaching students. Dude. But it is not something you can manipulate with a supplement or about which you can get much diagnostic information in an otherwise healthy runner peeing on litmus paper.

OK thanks Trent, I only did one test the directions said to cut up the paper and do several tests to get a true report. Someday I'll start reading directions. Anyway here is the site and the stuff they're selling. http://genuinehealth.com/english/

There is loads of excellent science linking elevated cholesterol with increased morbidity and early mortality from a whole host of factors, including heard disease and stroke. There is loads of excellent science linking cholesterol lowering therapy with reduced morbidity and early mortality. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
