so someone had a question recently related to  the ph of saliva and they’re very concerned  

about their ph being too acid to alkaline  and they wanted to know what should it be  

well this is the normal ph range of your  saliva between 6.2 to 7.6 and anything above  

7 goes alkaline anything below 7 is acid 7  being neutral so your saliva could be slightly  

acidic could be slightly basic or alkaline so it  could be both now if your saliva goes too high  

potentially you can start developing tartar  if it’s too low and you become too acidic  

you could start developing dental  cavities as well as infections in the gum  

and bad breath and there’s a whole bunch  of other problems that you can develop  

well you have to realize that in your mouth you  have a lot of bacteria that use dietary sugar to  

make acids and that’s what really breaks down  the tooth now if you’re on the ketogenic diet  

you could be very very acidic because the  definition of keto is just low carb so you  

can just do a lot of fat and protein and get  into ketosis and end up becoming pretty acidic  

now the type of keto that i recommend  is healthy keto which my definition is  

providing all the nutrients  that you need and balancing out  

your protein fat with vegetable a lot of it  between at least seven cups up to 10 cups per day  

now of course that would be more salad i’m not  talking about 10 cups of broccoli for example  

there’s no way you’re going to do that maybe you  do four cups per day but when you’re talking about  

salad you have big salads that provides a lot  of alkalinity to help balance off these acids so  

you have a lot of potassium magnesium and also  calcium so that way you provide all the nutrients  

to help buffer any type of foods that could  create excessive amounts of you know acids now  

if someone has candida okay in the mouth they’re  going to develop excessive amounts of ammonia and  

ammonia is very alkaline so that can really throw  off your entire ph from this infection right here  

and also if someone is under chronic stress they  tend to become excessively alkaline which is  

interesting but the real problem is when you talk  about ph what fluid of the body are you talking  

about are you talking about the blood which  is slightly alkaline are you talking about the  

large intestine which is acid or what about the  gallbladder and it’s fluid which is alkaline or  

the stomach which is extremely acid so it’s very  important to define what fluid you’re talking  

about if you’re too alkaline a two acid the  problem is trying to diagnose someone from having  

either an acid saliva or an alkaline saliva is  pretty much a waste of time because what’s going  

on the saliva is really happening systemically  even from your urine what’s happening in the urine  

is happening more internally one of the problems  with testing the ph of your blood is as soon as  

you inject the person and take the blood out  it quickly oxidizes and it alters the ph so  

it’s very difficult to determine the ph of your  blood unless you have some fancy equipment and i  

know typically that there’s this idea floating  around that everyone needs to be alkaline and  

so start drinking alkaline water and a lot of  your problems are going to be cleared out and  

cancer is acid so if you stay alkaline you’re  going to be safe that is false information when  

some people start drinking alkaline water  for example because they bought this machine  

i’ve tested the urine on some of these people  and their urine is even at a ph of nine which  

is incredibly incredibly alkaline typically  the urine should be between five maybe six  

when you have a ph of nine that is so far off the  scale that that’s going to set you up for a lot of  

problems because one of the reasons why you want  your ph in the urine to be acidic is to prevent  

bacterial growth so this is not going to do it  right here so the bottom line is i wouldn’t try  

to correct a ph problem by either taking something  that’s more acid or taking something that is more  

alkaline i would do it by implementing a healthy  diet i would try to focus on the diet as much as  

possible and my opinion is this if you do healthy  keto you’re going to bring your ph within the  

certain fluids at the right level in the urine and  the saliva and you don’t have to worry about it  

number one you’re going to cut down the carbs so  you’re going to completely starve off this candida  

and then now you’re not going to get the ammonia  so this ph will be settled and because you’re  

doing healthy keto you’re supplying the vegetables  with all the minerals that will help balance  

any acidity from the protein or even fats in  summary i don’t focus on the saliva ph very  

much or the urine ph it doesn’t give you a lot  of valuable data it can be used as one indicator  

to look deeper inside the body but typically  when it when it comes down to it especially  

from working 29 years in practice if  you just get the person’s diet corrected  

ph comes back to where it needs to be thanks for  watching before you go if you have a question  

about a product or you’re new to keto and you want  to know how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you  

this is just for the people in the us hopefully in  the future we’ll be able to answer everyone’s call  

but i put the number down below  so you can call and get some help
