Hi Wayne, >From my research and understanding when the blood is acidic (acidosis) It cannot become alkaline on its own. We have to eat alkaline rich foods to off set this. However, the opposite doesn't hold true. If we are over alkaline the body has the ability to regulate this in order to keep it in homeostasis. It is very rare for a person to be in a state of over alkalinity for any prolonged period of time. Acidosis on the other hand, is usually the more common state the body endures because of our lifestyles and the types of food we have currently available to choose from. A healthy range is 7.0-7.35 some say7.2- 7.4. The body is never bang on any given point for any length of time either. If we eat well, I mean by definition of water rich foods, green foods with good supplementation. Ideally we should stay in this range providing our health is in good order. A urine test will immediately tell ones blood acidity.

I had one recently and my blood acidity was 7.51, which is .06 above the high limit. I the ranges I found listed as normal were 7.37 to 7.45. If you study blood acidity, you will find specific numbers that are the low limit. One article says that if it goes below a specific point, you are near death. I think that number is 7.25 or 7.30. I am not sure this is right, so some research is in order if you are interested. The urine may be slightly acid, but not much. Maybe 6.5 or so. Which does make it acid. Some young, healthy individuals may be closer to 7.0. Of all the people I have seen test saliva, only one was 7.0 on the nose, and that was my 14 year old grandson.
