For a discussion of alkalinity and its importance see Alkalinity: A Basic Principle

  • Drink enough pure water to keep the urine pale.
  • Avoid alcohol, coffee & carbonated beverages.
  • Emphasize alkaline ash foods in your diet (Optimally 80 %). These include:
    • Nuts & berries: Almonds, blackberries, Brazil nuts, & strawberries
    • Citrus fruits: Grapefruit, lemons, limes, oranges, & tangerines
    • Other fruits: Apples, apricots, bananas, cantaloupe, cherries, coconut, dates, figs, grapes, peaches, pears, pineapple, raisins, raspberries, & watermelon
    • Vegetables: avocados, beans (all types), beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, lettuce, mushrooms, onions, peas, potatoes, radishes, rutabagas, spinach, & tomatoes
    • Grains: Buckwheat & millet
    • Other: Molasses & Soy foods
  • Minimize acid ash foods in your diet (limit to 20 %):
    • Blueberries, carob, cranberries, corn, honey, lentils, plums, prunes, & squash.
    • Flours (except buckwheat & millet), oatmeal, pasta, rice
    • Dairy
    • Fish, meat, poultry
    • Nuts (except almonds & Brazil nuts), peanut butter
  • Take plant source trace minerals daily. (These are present in the comprehensive formulations New Generation and Lifetime.)
  • Test your salivary pH by testing your saliva each morning before getting out of bed. Simply touch the litmus (pH) paper to your saliva and compare the color to the chart.
    • If you test less than 7.0 add Miracle Green Powder or Miracle Green Capsules to your regimen. Begin with one level teaspoon or 4 capsules twice daily. Adjust up or down as your morning pH dictates.
    • If the morning salivary pH remains below 7.0 add one of the following:
      • Calcium carbonate (found in products like Tums or Coral Calcium)
      • Small amounts of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) 
      •  pH Plus - Begin by adding 1 drop to an 8 ounce glass of water twice daily. Increase by two drops daily (total may be divided into two 8 ounce glasses or multiple glasses of water) until the pH rises to 7 or above.
