have not heard of this but am very curious. Can you tell us more or provide a link? I see various multi-vitamins when I search, but nothing on the ph strips.

Please keep in mind that Dr. Susan Brown is NOT a medical doctor; she's a medical anthropologist. And her website is primarily focused on selling you things.

To learn a bit more about the acid-base balance, read the section of an article (below) by Dr. David Karpf, adjunct clinical professor of endocrinology at Stanford University School of Medicine.

This is bogus science. Many folks who push “the alkaline diet” simply want to sell cookbooks and supplements. While there are valid reasons why the Western Diet (which is high in “acidic” foods like meat and low in “alkaline” foods like fruits and vegetables) is unhealthy, it has NOTHING to do with acidification.

A little physiology: Human blood is slightly alkaline, with a pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Our stomach acid is very acidic (it makes hydrochloric acid), with a pH of ≤3.5, so it can break down food. Food in the stomach will buffer some of this acid, but when the gastric contents enter the first portion of the duodenum they are still acidic (pH < 7.0).

The pancreas releases, among other things, bicarbonate to buffer the acid.

Additionally, our kidneys play a key role in acid-base balance, ensuring our blood stays in the normal pH range of 7.35–7.45 (mean 7.40).

Unless someone drinks lots of strong acid (which would kill them by burning their oropharynx and esophagus), nothing you eat will change the pH of your blood, which is under strong homeostatic control.

The alkaline diet claims to help your body maintain its blood pH level. In fact, nothing you eat is going to substantially change the pH of your blood.

Susan Brown is not a doctor . If you google her you will see that she received a warning letter from the FTC for unsubstantiated claims for Coronavirus prevention and treatment. In short, it stated "you are unlawfully advertising that certain products treat or prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)."

Check out chiropractor Keith McCormick. He is a former olympian who was diagnosed with osteoporosis in his 40s. He is now dedicated to counseling and treating patients with osteoporosis online or in person. Through lab tests he helped me find the cause of my osteoporosis. He has his own line of products if you are interested, but you do not need to purchase. osteonaturals.com
