You can tell a lot about what's happening in your body by checking the pH of your urine and saliva. Using pH strips can easily and inexpensively help you keep track of your pH and your overall health.

The pH scale goes from 1 to 14. Anything over 7 is more alkaline, and anything under 7 is more acidic. Different parts of your body require different pH levels.

Your urine pH should be between 4.8 to 7.8. If your urine is too alkaline, it could be due to:
• Drinking too much alkaline water
• Testing right after eating
• Consuming a vegan diet
• An infection
• Diuretics or antacids
• Vomiting

Urine that's too alkaline can increase your risk of:
• Gout
• Kidney stones
• Kidney failure

If your urine is too acidic, it could be due to:
• Consuming too much meat
• Uncontrolled diabetes
• Diarrhea
• Fasting or starvation
• Dehydration
• Testing the first urine catch of the day

Your saliva pH should be between 6.2 to 7.6. If your saliva is too alkaline, it could be due to:
• Too much bacteria in your mouth

Saliva that's too alkaline can increase your risk of:
• Tartar crystals (advanced dental plaque)
• Gingivitis (mild gum inflammation)

If your saliva is too acidic, it could be due to:
• Consuming too much sugar
• Too much bacteria in your mouth

Saliva that's too acidic can increase your risk of:
• Dental cavities
• Halitosis
• Periodontitis (severe gum inflammation)

I've made a lot of different videos with more specific information on correcting your pH. But, the most important thing you can do to fix an extreme pH level is to focus on eating healthily. Watch my videos on the Healthy Keto diet and intermittent fasting to learn more about how to eat to stay healthy.

Idk how, Dr. Berg having been on Youtube for over 5 years, is STILL able to UP his content game! I’ve tried some of his suggestions (iodine to remove skin tags, for example) and they have worked! Thanks for the inspo!

1 year after watching Dr. Berg and I went from falling apart to looking like some marvel superhero...

[helenalderson]

For saliva, it's best to test a half an hour to hour after food and drink. Any food will drop the pH for at least 20 minutes until it's buffered. I check every patient's saliva for dental reasons

Again, I am impressed. No doctor have ever taken time to explain this, we just see them using it but to explain how to read it, they never explain. What a bonus in my health life to listen to Dr Berg!! Thank you.

[MelissaCapriotti]

So cool to be able to learn so much about our bodies with such a simple test!

[brown_eyed_girl]

Sometimes I think I’ve been living this lifestyle long enough that I can skip certain videos-not true. I always learn something I didn’t know beforehand. You are a wealth of knowledge Dr. Berg, Thank you 😊

[HunniRight]

Implementing a little bit of Dr. berg goes a long way to keeping me balanced . At 71 I find myself feeling better than I have felt in years .

[melissac]

I’m loving the beard, Dr Berg. Thanks for this helpful information.

[stellahaddon]

Thank you so much for posting your ‘tutorials’ - I’ve learned such a lot. They are very informative and succinct - and accessible for a person with limited medical knowledge.
It’s a shame my doctors here in the UK don’t have more time to communicate in this way.
With appreciation 🌸

As someone with some broken teeth in my mouth I was very prone to abscesses in my mouth and got them a lot, I also drank 3-4 pots of coffee everyday with sugar (also ate a lot of processed foods). I've since completely cut processed sugars and foods from my diet and I don't get abscesses anymore. Should have included the effect on pH from medications. I think keeping a chart plus doing regular testing to get baselines established is important so that we can use PH testing as a personal monitoring system.
