In my post:

IMHO - pH reading interpretation - Part I

I tell why I believe you should be getting inverse results on pH readings depending on your condition, alkaline or acidic.

One of the common flaws of understanding when dealing with the bodies’ feedback systems is not understanding localization of resources and counterparts.

This has been one of my hardest lessons to learn.

So if I may....

Lets say we’re acidic, yet when we take our alkaline supplements we show a brief alkalizing of the pH.

But it seems to always go back to acid.

This would appear to prove my previous post wrong.

What’s happening however is that the local acid condition is being overwhelmed by the intake of resources.

The causes could be overdoing the intake, or a sluggish feedback system, or the inability to mobilize remote stored acids or a combination.

In this case, we are peeing resources away, it might be better to cut the amount in half and take the other half after a half hour or so.

Allowing the body time to bring more remote acids into play.

A slightly different understanding can be given by a certain amino acid that’s used by some.

An interesting point is that the body has a counterpart that uses this AA.

So to effectively use it you must overwhelm the counterpart.

An example would be the body producing 1gram of the counterpart per day.

To use 1gram of the AA effectively you would need to take 2grams.

Overwhelming the bodies’ counterpart by 1gram.

When we look at results we need to be aware we may be seeing something that is skewed by overwhelming local resources or counterparts.

Or perhaps even, the lack of needed counterparts.

Sam Biser gives an interesting situation of the pancreas losing a fair portion of it’s enzyme producing capability.

This person would have bouts of indigestion.

If they knew about it, they could supplement with enzymes or stop overwhelming the lack by reducing the amount of food taken at one meal.

Understanding Overwhelming and Counterparts allows me to possibly understand what may appear as a counter intuitive reading.
