A good approximation of tissue pH is easily obtained by assessing
the pH of your first morning urine. When the first morning urine
is between 6.5 (slightly acidic) and 7.5 (slightly alkaline),
it indicates that the overall cellular pH is appropriately alkaline.
The Better Bones Better Body
pH Kit was developed by Dr. Susan Brown as a self-contained
guide to understanding and measuring body pH. The kit is sold
through the Osteoporosis Education Project for measuring and monitoring
your acid / alkaline balance. It includes instructions on altering
pH balance with diet and a comprehensive chart depicting which
foods and chemicals have a metabolically acidifying or alkalinizing
effect, an audio tape on "Rethinking Osteoporosis",
the necessary pH test paper, and several published articles on
pH balance and health.
Detailed information on measuring your pH and alkalinizing your
diet is also contained in our book, Better Bones, Better Body,
A Comprehensive Self-Help Program for Preventing, Halting and
Overcoming Osteoporosis. Further, if you are interested in our
recent research verifying the value of the first morning urine
