I am in the same boat. I was at a 5 on the salvia, but from adding in supergreens, alkalizing water, kelp, and the 80/20 diet it climbed to 6.5 in less then a week. Here is the secret to urine test. It is not the first time you go in the morning, but you read on the second time. So in reality you may even be higher. That is why I use a salvia test it is more reflective of what is in the blood. Urine should be more on acidic side like 6.5-7.0. Hope this helps
