Managing pH for Health - Litmus Testing
By: Dr. Skip Hellen ND, CNC (Health Doctor)  Rev. 8/26/2013

The battle for optimal health is over pH. pH testing and effective management may be the single most powerful skill tool in reducing/managing rapid aging, illness, disease and achieving lasting optimum health. Yes! Effective pH management can not only slow the aging process to a crawl, it can eliminate nearly all illness and disease. With such a powerful and relatively simple tool that could empower nearly every human with the skill to control their health destiny, why isn't effective pH management taught in school? The answer may surprise you, it astonished and left me deeply disappointed me when I discovered the truth.

What is pH - (Potential Hydrogen);
First, it’s important to understand that pH represents the snap-shot state of internal biochemical health. Perfect pH is 7.365. Internal biochemical pH is like home plate in a baseball game, while there are many things happening in the game, the games outcome is determined by how many runs cross home plate making it the factor that really matters. Simply put, the closer the mean average pH of the body stays to 7.365, the healthier the body will be. When the body's pH spontaneously remains around 7.365 straying very little, optimal health has been achieved. More about that latter.

pH governs the many biological functions below
ACID
1. Speeds up biological activity (aging time clock) causing biological damage (illness, disease, rapid aging)
2. Environment that encourages spontaneous pathogenic polymorphism (internal microbial genesis – toxemia – illness and disease)
3. Low cellular oxygen and biological energy production (enervation)

ALKALINE
1. Biological health (in balance with nature).
2. Environment of biological balance and synergy (homeostasis) is maintained.
3. Maximum biochemical vibrancy, systemic function (healing).
4. Robust cellular oxygen and energy production (vitality).
5. No spontaneous pathogenic polymorphism.

Effectively pH Management for Optimum Health
Because pH is a reliable indicator of the state of internal biochemistry, it can be used to effectively manage health. The trick is to monitor and modulate pH into a consistent healthy range. While there are many tools (behavior, consumption, supplements, exercise, emotions) to effectively modulate pH in a healthy direction, it takes a comprehensive understanding of health principles, how they apply to your biochemistry and practice to master these skills.

Litmus testing
There are essentially two noninvasive ways to measure internal biochemistry below;
1. Saliva test – this requires testing saliva at least one hour before or after any consumption. Because of this restriction it is best to saliva test first thing in the morning after rising from sleep.
2. Urine test – this requires testing urine and gives an accurate result any time. While urine testing has obvious inconveniences, it produces accurate results any time one passes urine. The litmus test is the foundation of internal biochemical cause and effect awareness. For this reason, it is essential that one become intimately aware of there current state of health so effective corrections can be made to not only the direction of positive change but the speed of optimum health progress.

Things to Avoid
1. Sugar and/or processed foods
2. Caffeine with meals
3. Alcohol
4. Tobacco

Today we have learned some of the secrets of managing pH for health. Learning all the secrets of ultimate health is a journey and perhaps the most rewarding of all along the journey of life.

"Illness and disease are optional, choose not to participate" ~ Dr. Skip Hellen

Important understanding
It’s important to understand that optimal health can only be achieved and maintained when nutritional, physical, and mental requirements are met resulting in systemic biological balance (homeostasis).

The following are the cornerstones of success with anything in life, make these qualities an important part of your life strategy and you will achieve excellence in anything you do. 

   Personal responsibility encourages excellence,
character requires personal excellence,
commitment advances positive action,
discipline strengthens personal power,
tenacity promotes success ~ Dr. Skip Hellen 

OPTIMAL HEALTH ACTION STEPS
1. (Develop) a strong sense of self respect and discipline
2. (Pledge) Take the "Declaration of Health Independence" pledge
3. (Test) Complete the health assessment test (establish a personal health baseline)
4. (Decide) Set a goal to achieve personal health excellence (optimal health)
5. (Education) Learn health principles how to achieve optimum health
6. (Heath Compass) Buy a pH litmus test kit, start testing frequently – keep a test result log
7. (Manage/Adjust) Change behavior habits for best results
8. (Commitment) Stay the course until achieving personal health excellence
9. (Mentor) Help another achieve personal health excellence

Since behavior habits and nutrition are critical components of human health and longevity, denial, shortcuts and misguided beliefs can be very costly not only in terms of lost monetary wealth but in compromised health leading to rapid aging, illness, disease and death. DON’T TAKE YOUR HEALTH FOR GRANTED. IF YOU DON’T TAKE PROPER CARE OF YOUR HEALTH, WHO WILL?

The important thing to remember is consumptive habits (foods) will form the foundation of either optimal health or illness and disease. The old saying "you are what you eat" is absolutely true when it comes to health.

Developing strong personal character (respect, belief, knowledge, discipline, commitment) are the cornerstones of all personal excellence accomplishments. Taking the "Declaration of Health Independence" pledges and adopting the behavior principles solidifies a vital first step on the road to optimal health success. These pledge commitments not only help develop the skills required to accomplish the goal but better define the path to personal health excellence. The second step is purchasing a litmus test kit to accurately monitor health progress. (see below for event test kit sale)

Perhaps the hardest part of achieving optimal health is changing unhealthy behavior habits to healthy habits.
