Carrot Man,
Too high of a pH is not better. It is just as bad as an acidic pH ! More alkaline is not better. The body wants to be balanced as close to 7.2 as possible is the ultimate.
If you have cancer, you need to take additional steps:
1) Make certain your Vitamin D blood level is between 70 and 80 ng/ml. For most folks, this requires 10,000 IU daily of Vitamin D3 Geltabs made with olive oil. Your immune system cannot function properly if your are deficient D3. See this link for details.

do the Dr. Brownstein Iodine Protocol ASAP. Cancers are a major symptom of iodine deficiency. I suggest you start at 12mg a day and titrate as quickly as detox allows to 200mg a day, and also titrate Vitamin C till bowel tolerance.

Read the chapter Cancer to see why iodine is so effective at making cancer go into remission:

The body ALWAYS has cancers and if our immune system is strong, these cancers are quickly killed. Our immune system uses iodine to kill cancer cells, and if you are deficient in iodine, your immune system unable to kill cancers.
Optimal health requires 3 legs for support. Optimal pH is only one leg. Optimal D3 and Optimal iodine are the remaining 2 legs.

One Last Thing:
=============================
Myth #1: It is GOOD to be alkaline, it is BAD to be Acidic
Truth: It is BAD to be Alkaline, it is BAD to be Acidic. Most people, including uninformed doctors, naturopaths, and alternative health people throw around terms like acid and alkaline, but have very little understanding of what they are actually talking about. It is a fact that acidosis is pathological, and can wreak havoc on the body. What is not known as widely in the health world, is that alkalosis is ALSO pathological and will cause just as many, if not more problems with your health. In fact, the majority of people that I see in my practice are TOO ALKALINE. Some common symptomatology associated with Alkalosis:
Hypothyroidism
Hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid, HCL)
Allergies
Wheezing
Diarrhea
Fatigue
Feel more like the ‘tortoise’, less like the ‘hare’
Elevated serum bicarbonate

Congrats on doing such a good job managing your pH, even if it is too high.
