How do you test for pH?

Answer 1

With a litmus strip. However, you'd need to obtain the blood through sterile conditions. There's a fringe group of crazy alternative medicine proponents who claim that you need to constantly monitor and correct your blood pH so that it doesn't become too basic or too acidic. While blood can become too acidic or basic (resulting in acidosis or alkalosis) such conditions only occur in people with serious underlying health problems. The average person has no need to worry about their blood pH. The risk of infection from repeated needle jabbings far outweighs whatever purported benefits monitoring blood pH might have. A true condition of acidosis is serious and needs to be treated by qualified medical doctors, not at-home kits that claim to adjust blood pH.
