How to Make a Drinkable PH Booster

PH, which stands for potential hydrogen, is the measure of acid contained in a substance. The lower the pH of a substance, the more acid it contains. The human body is naturally alkaline in nature, which means it generally has a pH of between 7 and 7.8. However, a person's diet can change the body's pH significantly. If too much acid is consumed, it can reduce the body's ability to fight off sickness and disease. Juices and sodas are examples of acidic substances, as is vinegar. These substances should be consumed in moderation. Water is another substance that can also be slightly acidic, causing the body's pH to drop to an acidic state. To help avoid this potential problem, a pH booster can be added to water to help change the state of the water from acidic to alkaline.

Instructions

• 1

  Pour 1 liter, or roughly 34 ounces, of water into a pitcher. Use as pure a water as possible for best results, such as distilled water.

• 2

  Dip a water pH stick or paper into the pitcher for 2 to 3 seconds. Remove the pH stick and, using a water pH chart, compare the stick color to the colors on the pH chart to find the current pH of the water. PH papers and sticks can be purchased at a local department, hardware or health food store.

• 3

  Pour 2 to 3 drops of MMS, also known as Miracle Mineral Supplement, into the pitcher of water and stir this with a plastic spoon. MMS is a concentrated solution of sodium chlorite that can be purchased at most health food stores, or online at MMS Miracle.

• 4

  Dip a clean water pH stick into the pitcher of water. Remove the stick and find the new pH level of the water by comparing the stick with the pH chart. If the pH is between 7.0 and 7.8, the water is ready for consumption. If the water pH is below 7.0, add another drop of MMS and test it again with a clean pH stick. If the pH is higher than 7.8, add more water to the pitcher and test it with a pH stick.
