Maintaining the Proper pH (acid/alkaline) Balance The first goal on the way to great health is to restore the body's pH to the alkaline range. Almost all chronic illness takes place in a body that has become acidic due gradual depletion of it’s mineral reserves. It has been clinically established that the urine's pH is an accurate reflection of the whole body's pH. The state of the body's acid/alkaline balance can be easily measured by testing the urine using hydrazine paper (also called pH paper). The urine pH is directly correlated to both tissue oxygen levels and soft tissue levels of minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and trace minerals. These minerals are the basic currency of exchange for literally every cell in the body. According to the Centers for Disease Control, the average American's tissue pH is about 5.5 (10 points below normal). For each 1/10 of a point that pH rises or falls, so does oxygen rise or fall ten-fold. Since the average American is about ten points below normal, this equates to an oxygen deficiency of a hundred-fold. Conversely, as the alkaline reserve of soft tissue is replenished and brought into the normal range, tissue oxygen levels increase a hundred fold. What people notice first and foremost is increased energy and elevated mood. The first morning urine is tested to determine whether the pH is acid or alkaline (the "first morning urine" is defined as the first urination after 5:00 am). If the urine pH is acidic (pH below 6.4), this indicates the body is in a state of physiological distress due to a lack of sufficient minerals, which are needed to adequately carry out thousands of basic cellular functions. Therefore, our immediate goal is to restore a consistently alkaline first morning urine pH (within the range of 6.4 to 7.0) by using fast-acting coral minerals, which are highly ionized and easily absorbed. Once the pH of the first morning urine stays consistently in the alkaline range for a period of at least two weeks. The next step is to begin testing the evening urine pH, best measured just before the dinner meal (around 5:00 or 6:00 pm). A urine pH over 7.0 (a dark blue color on the pH tape) is often danger sign warning you that the pH balance has gone far out of range. A urine pH of around 8.0 is a serious danger signal indicating that the body has desperately recruited emergency supplies of ammonia from the liver as a last resort to use as an alkali buffer. This situation is usually due to a long-term highly acidic state, which has seriously depleted the body's mineral reserves, especially calcium. Using coral minerals, it may take a few weeks to a few months to restore mineral balances. However, in this process, the body will first progress to an acid pH before it shows a positive progression toward the normal range
