The acid-base balance of our body cells is the prerequisite for the optimal functioning of the vital functions of the entire organism.All metabolic and immune processes of the organism have a relatively narrow pH range in which they run optimally. The human blood has a pH normal value of 7.36 to 7.44. Man is therefore an “alkaline being”. Beyond the extreme pH values of 7.1 and 7.7, life is no longer possible. But also smaller deviations from the optimal pH-value lead to disturbances of many metabolic and immune processes.Thus the foundation stone for a disease is laid. In many chronic diseases, an over-acidification of the organism is found, which hinders the body’s own regulatory and self-healing powers. The acid-base balance is analyzed by determining the urine pH value using test strips over a period of one week. The MD indicator paper for Uralyt-U from the Madaus company is best suited for this purpose. It is available in pharmacies. Every day a so-called daily profile of the urine pH value is recorded. Please measure the pH of your urine every 2 to 3 hours during the day and record the values in the enclosed protocol. The pH of morning urine is usually in the slightly acidic range (about 6.3 to 6.5). After meals, a so-called “alkaline flood” should begin. “Base flood” means that the urine pH reaches at least 6.8 1 to 2 hours after meals. Usually, there is an “up and down” of the pH value during the course of the day, because it is subject to a 24-hour rhythm like the other bodily functions. Please record all measured values in the enclosed protocol and bring them with you to your next doctor’s appointment. Acidosis of the organism can be assumed if the pH value of the first morning urine is constantly below 6.0 and/or the mean pH value of the daily profile is below 6.3. The organism is said to be in “acid paralysis” if no pH value in the daily profile exceeds 5.5. Examples
| 6 o’clock | 10 o’clock | 1 pm | 4 pm | 7 pm | 10 pm | |
| Normal | 6,3 | 7,0 | 6,5 | 6,8 | 6,3 | 7,1 |
| Hyperacidity | 5,8 | 6,3 | 6,0 | 6,4 | 5,8 | 6,2 |
| Acid Starch | 5,0 | 5,2 | 5,1 | 5,4 | 5,0 | 5,3 |
Urine pH protocol
Please record the pH of the first urine every morning. Please keep a daily profile of urine pH every other day.
