pH Update

So, taking baking soda wasn't working out for me.  It gave me stomach cramps.  I tried it twice to confirm and it's definitely the baking soda so I've had to stop using that.  As a result my pH has gone back down to about 5.75.

It's kind of hard to read because you're supposed to compare two color patches and mine don't correlate to the same reading.  One color reads more alkaline and the other reads more acidic.

I haven't done the lemon water the last couple days because I had a non-sugar/fruit diet on Thursday to prep for the PET scan and yesterday I was overwhelmed with doctor stuff and work so I just forgot.  I need to get back on it and find other ways to get more alkaline.

pH Strips

The pH strips arrived Saturday and everyone in my house tested.  Me and my boys were all around 5.5 to 5.75 which is acidic.  7.0 is neutral.  My wife tested and of course she's 8.0.  Probably attributed to the fact that she's vegan.

So I immediately began drinking 1/2 lemon juice and 1/2 tsp. baking soda water as recommended by this article.  I kinda expected this to be a struggle of trying things and not getting results then trying something else.  However, this morning when I woke up and tested my pH was at 6.75!  Didn't expect results this fast.  Awesome!
