How TOXIKATOR Compares to Standard pH Tests


Laboratory Urine Test:

The results of a self-test using the TOXIKATOR are comparable in quality and accuracy to that of a laboratory urine analysis, such as the Acid-Base Balance According to Sander test. The TOXIKATOR test, however, provides such results immediately and at an affordable price.

Litmus Paper Urine Test:

When compared to self-testing with litmus paper, the TOXIKATOR self-test is much simpler and much more accurate. In order to even begin to compare the quality of results between a litmus self-test and the TOXIKATOR self-test, one would be required to use litmus paper to measure the first morning urine as well as the urine every two hours afterward for a total of eight measurements throughout the day. These eight pH values are tabulated, together with their associated time, and the individual points are connected to create a fluctuation curve. The curve will correlate with the type of food consumed—alkaline or acidic. For a proper test the fluctuation curve provides the valid measurements. In addition to considering one’s food intake, a number of other possibilities such as urinary infection or potassium deficiency must be taken into account.

In other words, alkaline urine is not all that matters. If that were the case, we could simply take antacid medication and assume we are healthy and in balance. Instead, we must understand that the body is not like a test tube filled with acidic fluid that can be neutralized by pouring in some alkaline fluid. In fact, overdosing of strong alkaline preparations, such as antacids, may result in a reading of alkaline urine while the body’s tissues are actually acidic.

Since the body will not allow the blood to become too alkaline, it compensates with hypoventilation, which means the carbon dioxide (Co2) in the blood increases. When this happens there is a reduction in oxygen supply to the tissue, which in turn causes an increase of lactic acid in the tissue.

This reaction can become increasingly worse until over-acidification of the tissue occurs. In addition, regular intake of a chemical alkaline substance can cause a shift in the body’s electrolyte (special minerals) balance, which also affects how water is stored in the body. This can lead to further accumulation of Co2 in the blood.

Too much acidity and too much alkalinity are unhealthy. What we want is the correct balance. As mentioned earlier, hyperacidity is caused by acid-forming foods, especially when the body is already mineral deficient. Acidity can be counteracted with a diet of fresh, alkaline-forming fruits and vegetables and supported with a good mineral and vitamin supplement regimen.
