Osteoporosis and Ph Balance

When I started studying osteoporosis I came across a reference to excess acidity drawing calcium out of the bones. Since I have taken calcium and many other supplements for decades I knew there was something wrong with either my absorption of the vitamins and minerals or something else going on. I read Dr Baroody's book, "Alkalize or Die" which was the first to come out about ph balance. It is a great book. It explains in detail how we have allowed chronic disease to take over our bodies by eating the wrong food and having stressful lives. It often takes years for your body to show the consequences of excess acid but, by 50, our grace period has run out and most people are showing some negative effects. One of the major effects is osteoporosis.

There is much evidence that we do not absorb most of the calcium and other supplements we take. Indeed we absorb less and less as we get older. Also the myth of milk drinking being good for your bones is exposed in the Myths of Osteoporosis book. So if we are not absorbing the calcium we take in, and we have excess acid for our body to dispose of, then our body robs the bones of calcium to bind the acid and send it out through the urine.

You can test your urine at the second time of the day to check the ph level. I have had a healthy diet for years now and yet, when I tested, I was extremely acid. It doesn't matter why really, I merely had to change a few things in my diet and I became alkaline within a week. I am selling the best test strip on the market below , the one Dr Baroody recommends, so you can test your acid balance. If you test acid with the strips you can have a green drink or half a lemon in water and bring your ph back into balance. Yes, I know lemon is acid but it creates an alkaline condition in the body. Hard to understand, but try it and you'll see. There are also alkalizing drops that you can put in your water but they didn't seem to work for me.

Robert Young has a good book also, "Ph Miracle". He has a very informative site about acid/alkaline balance. Here is a short quote from his latest newsletter. " The drug poster makes it sound like osteoporosis strikes first, and then you get weak bones. The cause and effect is all backwards. And that's how drug companies want people to think about diseases and symptoms: first you 'get' the disease, and then you are 'diagnosed' just in time to take a new drug for the rest of your life. But it's all hogwash. There is no such disease as osteoporosis. It's just a made-up name given to a pattern of symptoms that indicate you are over-acid which causes your bones to get fragile."

If you are suffering from diabetes, arthritis, cancer or any major disease, you will definately want to read more about controlling the ph of your body. Buy some test strips and see for yourself then you can get educated about it. The links for the books take you to the Amazon site so that will be a separate shopping cart. Buy the strips first if you want them, then you can go to the Amazon site for the books.

I can't stress enough that the time to sit back and expect your doctor to take care of you is over. Health has been my major interest for decades so I have seen this coming. Doctors don't have the time or inclination to research nutritional issues. They have become drug suppliers and the evidence is mounting that most drugs do more harm than good. We are seeing more and more evidence that BigPharm cannot be trusted with our health. The drug companies would like all Americans to be on as many prescription drugs as possible. It is now your job to take care of your health and that demands an active role in educating yourself. I hope this helps.

Don't trust your body to just any chemical lab litmus pH paper.

PH Stix T are unlike most pH test strips on the market. Due to the narrow range in pH of these bodily fluids (generally 5.8 to 7.6) it is imperative that a pH test strip give a clear indication in small pH unit increments. Ours do. Our test strips give an indication in .25 pH unit increments, and test a range of 4.5 to 9.0. Plus, pH Stix use the double color indicator method, allowing for a more accurate determination of the pH value of what you are testing. Throw away the pH paper , and pick up the pH Stix.

Compare pH Stix T with standard from rolls. Paper tends to bleed when it gets wet, making the determination of the correct color quite a challenge. pH Stix are different- the reagent is affixed to a plastic strip. No paper, no bleeding, no mess; easy testing. pH Stix - the clear choice.

This is what Dr. Ted Baroody, author of Alkalize or Die has to say about pH Stix T: " I get hundreds of calls for pH testing materials. pH testing is very complex. There are individual pH testing substances for everything, but they are very expensive. This particular strip is reasonably priced too. I have looked a long time and through many companies to find these quality pH strips. My experience with litmus pH paper strips has not been good. I do not recommend them."

SALIVA: Take a saliva reading before and after meals. The alkaline levels of your saliva should be greater after meals because there is an abundance of alkaline-rich minerals in saliva. Then test your saliva 60 minutes after a meal. If the pH level is lower than 6.75, then your alkaline mineral reserves are low.

URINE: For best test results, test your second urination in the morning. You will likely see urine pH become more alkaline as the day progresses. Test frequently during the day, and determine an average.
