First off, Mike, I was told my doctor that the PH is urine is a fairly meaningless measure of one's PH. The vast majority of these alternative health people know nothing about what's truly involved with the body's PH balance.

If you take supplemental Vitamin C, for instance, your urine ph will likely go down to 6. If you eat an alkaline diet for some time like you are doing, the urine's PH will be higher (Alkaline). But neither of these actions are altering your actual blood acidity the least bit, Mike. If you're that nervous about things, just ask your doc to test your bicarbonate level. If that's normal, you're fine.

The only true dangers there are when it comes to "PH" is dehydration/overhydration, the bicarbonate, alkaline phosphate, calcium, phosphorus, and sodium levels (Which are all part of standard metabolic panels), and something called Ketoacidosis (Exclusive to diabetics), as well as lactic acidosis (Lactic acid is Goliath compared to David (General acidity). Terminal cancer patients are really the only ones that are capable of having an acidic body, Mike.

Any panic attacks you are experiencing that could be related to your diet changes to some degree (Everyone's ph moves a little bit throughout the day at certain points, and you'll experience some metabolic effects from that, but that doesn't mean you've become "Acidic or alkaline."

Bottomline, my friend-Relax. The sooner you get your mind off of all of these health issues, the better you'll feel all around. And your health will improve at that point above and beyond any diet or pill could do for you as a result. Trust me.)

Mecarty made some important points for your consideration. I would also advice you to avoid testing the urine, it is can me very misleading. The body changes the urine pH when and how it needs to in order to keep itself as balanced as it can. If you do things that help the body clear out more acidic waste deposits than usual you can expect that some of them will show up in your urine and change it's pH. Given the situation, this would be considered normal. While cleansing the body, the the heart, liver, kidneys and colon are more engaged and more toxic elements may temporarily be present in the blood and lymph. If you have a colema or colonic liek evry other day for a week or ten days, this process should imprive rapidld. Much on how you feel and how your kidneys and liver performs depends on how clean your colon is. If it is clean, the body will move into a balanced condition quickly. If it isn't, there may be fermentation gases building up in the intestines, exerting pressure against the diaphragm, stomach and heart, enough to cause a panic attack. Drink hot water frequently to losen and clear out the hardened deposits of mucus, food and waste. If you do a home colonic/colema use hot water (place your whole hand in the water to make sure it hot, but not burning) as it will accelerate that process. \
