Re: Alkalosis Symptoms

 I'm not sure the causes have been truly covered here--(although the paper suggests it's about causes and symptoms; I suspect compensatory alkalosis is
the main form that most people might want to know about--unless, of course, people are mega-dosingon baking soda, or simply don't understand that if the pH tests "high"
this is more likely compensatory than a true indication of "alkalinity"

The only accurate way though to check pH is with a blood test.  And that can even change instantly.  Testing of urinary or salivary pH DOES NOT reflect blood pH at all.

so, what do you suggest, to avoid such concerns?

Let you body regulate its pH as it is designed to do.  Do not try to force the pH one way or the other, which just puts more stress on the body as it has to work overtime to put the pH back to normal.  True acidosis and alkalosis are both extremely rare and usually result from metabolic disorders.  Here is more on the topic:

I would imagine the RX is the same, overall. Good mineral rich high density plant-based, (as nutrients-in) with clean meat and fish, etc. as a minimum... and for elimination, well:
good elimination is key. And a clean colon, etc.

These are good for health in general.  It is when people start drinking alkalinizers such as baking soda and alkaline waters that I have a problem.  Again this just stresses the body more.

PS--the idea that alkalosis is as much a concern as acidosis is, in my view, complete quackery. Alkalosis is generally a much more serious state, (imv) in this way: it's suggestive of long-term acidosis, as well as pleomorphism... Do you agree? If not, could you elaborate?

Again chronic acidosis is rare.  The whole concept of it being common is more marketing hyper than anything.  Again the body has multiple methods of maintaining its pH.  

But alkalosis is more of a concern as it is more dangerous.  Unlike acidity, the body has very little available in its arsenal to combat alkalosis.  And severe alkalosis can deprive the brain of oxygen unlike acidosis.   Look at hyperventilation, which causes the blood to go alkaline really quick.  What happens in the process?  The alkalinity leads to constriction of brain blood vessels depriving the brain of blood and you pass out hopefully not injuring yourself or stroking in the process.
