How is pH measured?
The measured pH range is from 0 to 14 with pH of 7.0 being neutral. Any measurement of 7.0 or above is alkaline. Anything below 7.0 is acidic. The higher the pH reading i.e. the higher the number above 7 the more the fluid being measured is alkaline and oxygen-rich. The lower the pH reading, the more the fluid is acidic and oxygen deprived. Alkaline Good! Acidic Bad! Healthy human body fluids (blood, saliva, etc) normally register in a very narrow pH range of 7.35 to 7.45. Readings below this range indicate symptoms of disease. If our blood pH drops much below a reading of 6.8, some of our body cells cease to function, change in structure, do not regenerate at all or die. So, if you have a health problem, it is highly likely that your body has become acidic. Research has shown that the body cannot heal itself unless its pH level is slightly alkaline. This, in turn, indicates that it will be difficult to gain the full effectiveness of any remedial treatments, until the pH level is retur
