What happens in the body when your pH is off?

The human body needs to take in the right amount of acidic and alkalizing nutrients to maintain a healthy pH balance. Your daily intake should be 20% acidic and 80% alkalizing.
If this balance is not maintained, the body has to compensate in the following ways.
It first robs minerals from the bones, joints, muscles, gallbladder and mucousal lining of the digestive track.
When the body robs calcium from the bones you can develop a weak back. If Ieft untreated, this can develop into Osteoporosis (low bone density).
Robbing calcium and sodium from the joints can cause them to start to lock up, get stiff, sore and/or crack. After a time, the immune system often attacks acid which may settle in the joints. A doctor would probably diagnose this as "arthritis".
Minerals robbed from the muscles, ligaments, and tendons increase the likelihood of an injury or tear. Acid deposited in the muscles can cause fibromyalgia, soreness and/or stiffness. Minerals robbed from the heart muscle can cause weakening, arrhythmia and angina.
If the body needs to rob minerals from the lining of the intestinal track, or if the body tries to eliminate acid through the intestine, you could develop pain in the colon, colitis, diarrhea, Crohn's or irritable bowel.
Natural sodium is often robbed from the lining of the esophagus. If enough erosion happens, it can prevent the sphincter muscle at the top of the stomach from closing properly, resulting in heartburn, acid reflux or GERD. Damage to the esophagus can cause difficulty in swallowing or a narrowing of the esophagus.
To protect you, the body will try to eliminate acid through the bowel, kidneys, skin and respiratory system.
Eliminating through the lungs (lower respiratory system) can cause asthma. If acid settles in the sinuses (upper respiratory system), the body will try to dilute it with mucus, which can result in post nasal drip or sinus problems.
Eliminating through the urinary system can cause blood in the urine and/or bladder irritation, cystitis, and later on kidney damage. It can also increase the likelihood of developing UTI's (Urinary Track Infections).
When the body's pH is acidic for a long period of time, it can start changing the blood's pH from an ideal 7.41 to a more acidic 7.35, which can cause irritation and inflammation in the arteries. In response to this, the body will line the arteries with cholesterol to protect the arteries from the pH imbalance.
When the body gets to the point that it can no longer rob minerals safely, the body will commission the liver to produce ammonia in order to help neutralize the acid. This causes alkalinity or a pH above 7.0
Since Dr. Otto Warburg was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931 and 1946 for his studies on how cancer can not thrive in an alkaline medium, people often think the more alkaline the better. This is incorrect! Although acid burns the cells, alkalinity poisons. Alkalinity mimics symptoms of acidosis. THE only way to know your pH for sure is to test your saliva and urine with test strips.

To determine your saliva and urine pH, get test strips that are in increments of .5 (you can get them locally at most health stores. If you cannot find a retailer, you can purchase them from me, but the shipping would cost more than the strips). Following the directions that came with the strips, test your urine and saliva (using a separate strip for each) first thing in the morning before you brush your teeth, smoke a cigarette, chew gum or mints, drink or eat anything.

Often the liver loses its ability to produce ammonia and then cells are bathed in acidic fluid. The body uses enzymes to break down abnormal cells in the body. Enzymes cannot work in an acidic medium. Therefore, the body cannot protect you from the growth of abnormal cells. This is why they say acid feeds cancer cells. More accurately, it protects cancer cells from enzymes used by the immune system. Without the enzymes to break up the cancer cells, the body can not eliminate them.
I believe it is wise to check your pH on a regular basis in hopes of reversing and avoiding the health conditions which can be caused directly by a pH imbalance, such as:

Lower back pain or Weak lower back	Arthritis or Rheumatism	Osteoporosis	Cracking, painful, or stiff joints
Fibromyalgia	Acid Reflux	Heartburn	GERD
Crohn's or Colitis	IBS	Ulcers	Gallstones or Gallbladder problems
Cystitis (bladder irritations)	Lung problems	Asthma	Sinus problems (mucus) drip
Cancer	Plaque build up in arteries	Malabsorption of nutrients	Skin problems
