Grant, The kidneys are part of the pH regulation system and will extract hydrogen ions from the blood plasma in order to lower the plasma pH, thus raising the pH of the urine accordingly. The saliva mirrors blood pH, and while affected by food and may give false readings, it is pretty accurate if one tests the saliva 3 hrs after putting anything in the mouth, and draws two or three fresh lots into the mouth and swallows it before testing. 11AM is a good time for doing this according to Robert Barefoot, who also suggests repeating the measurement on successive days and averaging the result.
