Our family used the PH strips pretty regularly to test during the first 10 months of our protocol. My 8 year-old daughter responded beautifully to the protocol diet and just as you would expect. . . she rose from around an average of 6.4 to 7.4 within the first two months. On the other hand I could NOT get my PH above about 6.6 no matter how well I ate. I kept removing things from my diet to try to improve with no results. Peter made some great suggestions which definitely helped but still did not solve the problem completely. Baking soda helped a bit too and I added more exercise as well. It wasn't until I started noticing a distinct pattern of lower PH readings after a sleepless night or two or a high pressure event, that I began to realize stress was the culprit in my low PH readings. Once the triggers for most of that stress were removed about 3 months ago, my PH readings soared almost immediately. I am now averaging 7.2 to 7.4 and doing much better. I no longer test much but for awhile it was necessary for me. Once my readings were coming in consistently higher I dropped off. Just the same I learned a lot from testing while I did it. So I think that for some of us there might be good reason to test in order to discover what are our personal triggers for lower readings. If stress is your trigger and it can't be controlled (and some just can't be) then in addition to the protocol, use the baking soda, get as much sleep as you can, exercise regularly and know that 'this too shall pass'. Remove what stress you can, accept what is non-negotiable and whatever you do. . . don't start stressing over the stress! ;-) Even with it if you follow the protocol you will get better and over time your PH can be raised. Hang in there and God Bless! Deborah B |
Monique 9/22/2013 12:27:25 AM MST | Though I've read that many people test their pH regularly, I too have never felt a need to do so. It's just one more thing to worry about and fret over. I know my diet is very alkaline and I feel that's enough to offset any acid. There are enough things that I borderline obsess over still (germs and washing hands after touching things, especially clothes and bedding) that I don't need another. On another note, it's flu season... When enrolling my 8 year old for school in August, I signed the form for her to get the two-dose flu mist vaccine. After reading John B's information on flu vaccines, I called up and rescinded my permission. I won't get one myself either though normally I do or I get sick each winter. I feel the protocol is boosting my immunity enough to keep me safe and there is NO WAY I'm introducing questionable substances into my body that could reverse all the progress I've made the past 6 months or reduce the effectiveness of the protocol. No way no how will I take any chances. Just my personal opinion but thank you John B for the flu information. Much love to all, Monique |
John Burgstiner 9/21/2013 3:15:07 PM MST | The strips are great to get an occasional read on your pH, but there is no need for anyone to hyperfocus on this issue and test every day - or to take alkalizing supplements for that matter. If you eat right, your body will be slightly alkaline as it should. |
