If you’ve been actively researching the Web, you’d agree that there's a lot of evidence to support the notion that if your body is acidic, then kidney stones are more likely to develop. You would have seen that kidney stones grow from the ‘seed’ of acid crystals. These crystals form from saturated acids in the body.
So it makes sense that your ultimate strategy for a pain - and stone-free - future is staying fully hydrated and alkaline.
Metabolic acids and acids that you ingest in daily life can accumulate in your fluids and tissues. In the process of neutralising these acids, "salts" are made - a mix of an alkaline element and an acid element. When your pH falls below 6.0 the
risk that these tiny salts may turn into larger stones increases exponentially.
When urine is saturated with acids (as a result of an acidic inner terrain combined with continued dehydration) these tiny salts can collect into larger salts - these are what we call stones.
There are many different types of urinary stones. Kidney stones can be made of calcium oxalate, calcium phosphate, magnesium phosphate, uric acid, or cystine. No matter what form you want to prevent, a suggested prevention plan may include the following:
1. Hydrate!. Drink at least 2 - 3 litres of water a day to flush acids and help to dilute your urine to prevent stones from forming in the first place.
2. Support your pH. Drink alkaline water, plan for more alkaline foods, and reduce the amount of acid forming foods that you eat. High protein diets turn to 20 amino acids in your bloostream - the seeds to stones forming.
3. Reduce your intake of sodium. This will reduce your body's loss of calcium.
4. Increase your intake of citrus fruits - like lemons. The citric acid in citrus fruits is not a problematic acid like uric acid or phosphoric acid is. It can help to break up the formation of stones that have already formed. You can even squeeze some lemon into the alkaline water that you drink.
5. Test Your pH every day. Try to keep it above 6.5.

The Role Of Acidic Urine In Kidney Stone Formation
Here's an amazing story about the cost of acidosis from Dr Young, alkaline balance pioneer and Jupiter water drinker.
And here's a special deal for some lucky reader out there... along with a story.
The deal:
One only Jupiter Alphion Water alkalizer new price AU$1795, this one? Save $200!.
The story:
This Alkalizer was returned by a new client after a confusing phone call. As my present clients know, you can get a higher alkaline pH just by touching a button on the Alphion. This client rang and told us that the Alphion worked very well on the first three settings, but on the highest one, they received a lower pH. They had used the standard liquid reagent pH test supplied with the kit, and instead of a more intense purple (indicating higher pH), they received a blue colour, indicating less pH.
Well... we told them to send it back, and sent them a new system. And sure enough, when we got it back and tested it, the same thing happened. We were mystified. The Alphion is so dependable.
We decided to re-test the Alphion with our electronic pH meter. Guess what? The high setting that seemed to be faulty, read perfectly; the highest pH setting gave the highest pH.
So come on, you techno sleuths! What was happening?
The Alphion was working so well that it went beyond the capability of the reagent liquid. When it was used for higher pH than it was capable of reacting to, it gave a lower colour reading. The Alphion was working so well it surpassed the ability of the test kit! When we tested it with the electronic system, it read perfectly!
Another day, another problem.... One mountain scaled, so many more to be seen from the summit!

Anyone watching 'Brat Camp' on the ABC? Take a group of terribl e English teens, put them out in the wilds of Arizona (or somewhere similar) on a ranch manned by Cowboys and watch the transformations occur. It's into its third week and some of the kids are really changing, but other have a long, long way to go. Is it all related to how 'delinquent' they want to remain, or is there more?
It was Cassie who picked the 'other' problem. The food they are still being fed on the ranch is totally acidic. It might be capable of creating energy for them to work, but no wonder they are moody, angry and on a roller coaster of emotions! Where are the GREENS in their diet? It's not just the ranch. I'm betting that some of the kids have an equally noxious diet at home in Merrie England.
