I understand. During my time following RBTI, my practitioner had me measuring the pH of my saliva and urine with reagents, as well as my urine Brix (blood sugar) with a refractometer, multiple times a day, and frequently checking my urine with a conductivity (EC) meter for things like my electrolyte balance and based on the readings, had me taking specific vitamin and mineral supplements (14+ a day) and consuming specific foods (especially juices containing celery, kale, parsley and cilantro ), to bring my numbers in range and I didn’t feel better for it, I felt worse. My blood sugar was constantly crashing and I woke multiple times during the night needing to pee, among other things. Jumping through hoops in an attempt to regulate something that is my body’s job to regulate was stressful to me and the stress itself was affecting my saliva and urine pH, blood sugar, electrolyte balance etc. and blocking my healing. However, I have no regrets as it was a rung in the ladder that got me to this point.I actually had been frustrated at it because I couldn't get restful sleep when I had to wake up so often at night to pee.
Yesterday, I tested my blood sugar control with a 5hr OGTT and realize it has been the worst it's ever been.
I think my wrong understanding of optimality with regard to urine pH has contributed to that. This is the danger of getting healthy (or trying to) with having wrong ideas and thinking they're the right ideas. But snapping out of it is something anybody should be thankful for, and the past is the past and one learns from it.
