The Importance of ph Testing & Electrolytes
Studies have shown that many, if not most ailments are
associated with an electrolyte
deficiency and an unbalanced internal pH. When your body is
deficient in electrolytes,
your pH will drop, leading to a more acidic internal state and
making it easier for disease
and other ailments to take hold.
Electrolytes are... minerals
that help keep your body
fluids and blood
pH in balance.
Electrolytes absorb...
toxins and help move them
through the body to be eliminated. Due to the role of electrolytes in removing toxins, we
feel pH
testing while cleansing is critical. We are aware that some who wish to cleanse
will not
have adequate electrolyte reserves. pH
testing helps you determine how to
safely and successfully proceed with The Detox.
If you have adequate electrolyte reserves, you may enter The
Detox with little
concern. If however, your electrolyte reserve is low, then it is
wise to start slowly and
build your reserve before pursuing the more challenging phases
of The Detox. If you
do not pass the pH test, use only the Mildest Phase until you
are able to pass the test.
Once you have increased your electrolyte reserves and passed the
pH test, then you
may proceed to the Gentle Phase. The goal of the program is to
get the Master Phase
which can be accomplished in the 28 day retreat program.
We recommend the
urine test before The
Detox, or we can offer this service for you.
We also offer an alternative way of testing pH.
To ensure you are
aware of all your choices before proceeding. The urine test is
the best way to determine
whether or not your body has enough electrolytes. You will need
pH papers and to
only consume vegetables, vegetable juices and water for one day
before you do this
test. The morning of the following day, wet a strip of pH paper
in a mid-stream of
urine, and record your results.
