Ph Paper Test
Instructions.
The ph testing paper is a quick tool to give us
a rough estimate of our pH
level. But please realize, pH testing for overall health is not an exact science. In
other words, we can not assume we are unhealthy just because our ph
paper test shows acidic.
< Under 7 is Acidic > Above 7 is Alkaline
There is a lot of mis-information
out in the world wide web about pH levels, and the ability of coral
calcium to affect pH levels in the body. And, there is a lot of
mis-information about acidity and alkalinity, and which is best for
our bodies. The fact is, our bodies regulate our own pH balance back
and forth continually as long as we are alive. So, at times a pH
test may show one way, and later it may show the other way. Ultimately, only a doctors testing can positively identify if you have
a hidden health issue. We recommend you take a look at this
great site with a lot of information about pH balance: http://www.biomedx.com/pH/

coral calcium supplements. Ph testing is not a precise science, and it is easy to get
false or inaccurate readings. Everyone is different, and some
people simply can not seem to get accurate readings. But,
properly conducted regular testing of your pH levels can be a valuable
tool in understanding which foods affect you, and how. And you
may be able to see the effect coral calcium may have on you.
Lets get started:
To test yourself to determine your pH level simply use a small strip of pH or litmus paper to do a saliva test.
1. We recommend doing pH testing the first thing in the morning,
before even brushing the teeth, or washing out the mouth. If testing is done later in the day,
allow 2 hours without having anything in your mouth prior to doing a
pH test for the most accurate reading.
2. Swallow the saliva in your mouth. Re-salivate your mouth again by sucking from below your tongue. Repeat twice.
3. Apply saliva to a small strip of pH or litmus paper, wait 20 seconds and them compare to color on pH chart.
The paper will turn a particular color indicating your pH level. yellow to pale green is acidic, and dark green to deep blue would indicate an alkaline level.

((Although citrus fruits are acidic, in the digestion system they leave an alkaline ash))
