Hello List, I have been trying to understand acid/alkaline for years and it seems to boil down to the norm. Im not sure what normal is. If we are taking the norm from the average person I dont think that is normal.
Here is a short list that I must trust with a pH of 7.0 being neutral. Blood pH over 7.0 alkaline, absorbs oxygen Blood pH under 7.0 acid, expels oxygen Blood pH 7.3-7.4 alkaline retains oxygen Stomach acid has a pH of 1.6 to digest food Urine pH is 6.3-7.2 to remove waste Saliva pH 6.8-7.8 Skin is acid with a pH of 4.5-6 and the soap that cleans the skin is pH 9-11? Semen pH 7.2-7.8 Vagina pH 3.8-4.5 Pancreas is pH 8.0-8.3. Check it out. Intestines are pH 7.5-8.0 Hair is acid with a pH 4.5-5.5 This one really confuses me. If blood rises to pH 6.95 the heart ceases to beat and coma and death result. If blood falls from pH 7.4-7.7 the heart contracts and ceases to beat. I got some of this information from the net and some from books. One book in particular is Acid & Alkaline by Herman Aihara and wasnt much help to me. I recently emailed a site by a doctor that says blood pH should be 6.3. This information was on more than one page. I went to most pharmacies in my area and was told they dont carry pH test strips and got answers like try the hobby shop, people dont use them anymore, did you try the nursery? I put all my faith in Bragg.com the vinegar people. Dont trust that, I put a lot of faith in CS also. Michael __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
