Detox Month Part 5: I Feel Terrible On This Detox!?!, Measuring Your pH, and 10 Recipes!!!

Do you feel horrible after eating green on this detox? That is a sign you could be doing a great job! When you eat alkaline and give your body a chance to clean out, it does just that. As it pulls toxins from deeper in your organs and tissues so it can flush them out, you can feel pretty poor as they float around on their way to elimination.

Using litmus paper can be a fun way to track your detox. Here are the basics:

Test your saliva first thing in the morning and every time you go to the bathroom. Your saliva pH indicated your alkaline reserves. I am not going to explain it all in this post because it involves New Biology, what I believe is a far more accurate view of how the body works, developed by Dr. Young, and it is too involved for this post. According to New Biology, however, we should have alkaline reserves in our gut, NOT ACID. So your saliva indicates this. When it tests below 7, take ½-1 teaspoon of baking soda in water.

Test your urine pH whenever you urinate. Your urine pH reflects your tissue pH. When it tests below 7, take another baking soda shot. Your tissues hold fluids and when your body fluids are alkaline, your urine pH is alkaline.

Both your saliva and urine pH can and will shift and change throughout the day with different activities, foods, thoughts, and drinks. As you alkalize and your blood strives to maintain it’s delicate pH of 7.365, your urine and saliva need to change so that your blood pH can stay the same. When you alkalize, flooding your body with alkaline fluid, it neutralizes and flushes the acids and toxins. As the acids get flushed out, your urine pH can drop. This is why you can see a huge dip in urine pH DURING a cleanse. And also why you can feel pretty poor at times on a cleanse. It does not feel good when all those acids are circulating through your system. You will also have waves of very high urine and saliva pH during a cleanse, even up to 9.5 or 10 – great! This shows you are doing a great job! Keep Going!
