Re: The acid test?
I don't know what exactly your question meant, but I will try to answer it the best I can.
It does not matter what constitute the body fluid, and it very much matters also.
The total sum of the substances measure in the 'so-called” body fluid is what result in the pH measurement. The pH measurement of the saliva and of the urine does not measure the pH of the blood. It rather measure the “pH pressure” of the body on the blood. The body will do its best to keep the blood's pH on average slightly alkaline and mostly stable.
I will use myself as an example. I have problems with inflamed articulations, shoulders, knees, ankles, feet. Some or most of it is due to gout, excess of uric acid. Much of it now pretty much under control.
Here is part of what I have learned so far. Gout comes from accumulation of crystallized uric acid. 60% to 80% of the uric acid is eliminated by the kidneys in the urine. Uric acid is 1,000 times more soluble in a solution of pH 7 than in a solution of pH 5. My urine was pretty acidic. When I did the appropriate measures to improve my pH, most of my problems were alleviated or mostly gone. But I have to be careful with my diet. So does it matter what my urine content? Also it is not only nutrition. I noticed my articulation paim was worse when big change of weather happened or with periods of smog.
So I hope it answers a little your question.
If you want to read something about the importance of pH and something about a new biology may I suggest you to go to

. If you want more non moreless articles let me know. (I figure that if you were interested by what moreless has to say you would already have been there).

Dr. Guy formulated a theory that most disease conditions, acute infections, anemias, metabolic disturbances and malignant cell overgrowths are the direct results of changes in the hydrogen-ion content of the lymph of the body which produces blockage of the lymph channels. In his studies of the growth of corn and other forms of vegetable life, he had been able to demonstrate that the absence of sufficient potassium salts in the soil would result in stunted growth, and evidence of precipitation of minute particles of iron and other substances in the stalks. When potassium was added, the growth proceeded normally; when dilute hydrochloric acid was also added, the growth was further stimulated.
He studied the lymph of a large number of patients suffering from carcinoma, and found that these cases showed a hydrogen-ion much higher than normal individuals. He also found that by administering the salts of potassium in combination with dilute hydrochloric acid, either orally or by the intravenous route, these patients made remarkable clinical improvement, and the hydrogen-ion content of their lymph became normal.
The publication of his series of articles in THE MEDICAL WORLD was followed by a large number of case reports by practicing physicians who greeted the new therapeutic procedure with great enthusiasm. Dr. Guy published his first book on this subject in 1934, and a revision in 1935.
