I agree. Too much emphasis is placed on treating the "symptom" of alleged acidity in urine and saliva.
Few realize that this symptom is an indicator of an underlying cause, which the data seem to point to a shortage of Iodine and/or excessive fluoride being present in the pineal, bones, teeth adrenals, pituitary, and other tissues over 90% of americans. Of course mine is a newly-proposed theory, but the data is consistent with it.
