ABC+D Class with Steven Horne: The Urinary System
ABC+D Approach
Session 13:
The Urinary
System
The pH
Scale
Testing Your pH
•  Use pH test strips
•  Test both saliva and urine
•  Test first thing in the morning and again at
bedtime
•  Take average of several days
•  Saliva should be between 6.0-7.0
•  Urine should average between
5.5-7.0
•  6.5 is optimal target for average pH
Kidney Functions
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
Removing wastes from the body
Balancing water and mineral levels
Helping control blood pressure
Regulating pH
Producing vitamin D
Helping to produce red blood cells
Produce hormones
How to Test pH
Saliva pH
•  Shows pH of interstitial fluids
(lymphatics)
•  Linked with digestive function

ABC+D Class with Steven Horne: The Urinary System
Urine pH
•  Shows what is being removed from
the blood
•  Linked with kidney function
Major Acid Producers
•  Lack of oxygen
(shallow breathing)
•  Poor digestion
•  Not enough fruits and
vegetables in the diet
•  Stress
•  Hyperinsulinemia
General Aids for
Alkalizing
•  Enhance digestive function with
enzymes
•  Get more oxygen into the body
•  Reduce stress
•  Eat more alkalizing foods
Mineral Electrolytes
•  Alkalizing
–  Calcium
–  Magnesium
–  Sodium
–  Potassium
•  Acidifying
–  Sulfur
–  Phosphorus
–  Chlorine
Quick Alkaline Buffers
• 
• 
• 
• 
Lemon water
Black olive juice
Chlorophyll
Alkalizing minerals: potassium,
magnesium and calcium

pH Buffering
Acid-Forming Foods
Bicarbonate (HCO3-)
Magnesium (Mg) and Potassium (K)
Calcium (Ca)
Ammonia (NH3)
•  Meat/eggs/fish (sulfur and
phosphorus)
•  Grain/seeds/nuts (phosphorus,
potassium and sulfur)
•  Protein foods create extra acid waste
during metabolism
•  Soda pop (phosphorus) and caffeine
Alkaline-Forming
Foods
• 
• 
• 
Vegetables (potassium, sodium and
magnesium)
Fruits (potassium and calcium)
Fruits and vegetables create less acid
waste during metabolism and have a
cleansing effect
Urine Acid /
Saliva Normal
• 
• 
• 
• 
Urine pH below 5.5, saliva normal
Excess acids being produced
Kidneys are working properly
Reduce acid production in body
Neutral Foods
•  Dairy (calcium, phosphorus and
sodium)
•  Cheese is acidifying
•  Whey is alkalizing
•  Oils and fats are neutral
Urine Acid /
Saliva Normal
•  Improve digestion with enzymes
•  Eat more alkaline-forming foods, less
acid-forming foods
•  Get more oxygen into the
bloodstream
•  Potassium and magnesium
supplements

ABC+D Class with Steven Horne: The Urinary System
Urine Acid /
Saliva Alkaline
• 
• 
• 
• 
Urine below 5.5, Saliva over 7.0
Body is overproducing acid
Bicarbonate in interstitial fluid
Possible heavy metal problem
Urine Acid /
Saliva Alkaline
•  Reduce consumption of high
glycemic carbohydrates and meat
•  Increase enzymes
•  Support liver, pancreas and
lymphatics
Urine Acid / Saliva Acid
(Double Acid)
•  Urine below 5.5, Saliva below 6.0
•  Excess acids are being produced
and the kidneys are overloaded
•  Buffering systems are stressed
•  Alkaline minerals are depleted
Urine Acid / Saliva Acid
(Double Acid)
•  Replenish alkaline minerals
(magnesium, potassium and calcium)
•  Reduce acid-forming foods and
increase alkalizing foods
•  Support kidney function
•  Use alkalizing foods and
supplements
Urine Alkaline /
Saliva Acid
(Reverse Split)
•  Urine above 6.5, Saliva below 6.5
•  Kidneys are not filtering acids
properly
•  Acid is accumulating in tissues
•  Lymphatic drainage is poor
Urine Alkaline /
Saliva Acid
(Reverse Split)
• 
• 
• 
• 
Support weakened kidneys
Enhance lymphatic drainage
Use enzymes on an empty stomach

ABC+D Class with Steven Horne: The Urinary System
Urine Alkaline /
Saliva Alkaline
(Double Alkaline)
• 
• 
Urine and Saliva over 7.0
Severe condition with two differing
causes
1.  Severe acidosis masked by ammonia
production
2.  True alkalosis usually caused by drugs
or extreme diets.
Severe Alkalosis
•  Increase consumption of acidforming foods (especially protein)
•  Use digestive enzymes, especially
protease.
•  Cleanse environmental toxins
Increases oxygenation of cells.
8) Improves the absorption and utilization of all
nutrients and supplements.
9) Helps balance blood sugar.
10) Lowers blood pressure and balances
cholesterol levels.
11) Helps with weight loss.
12) Decreases tendencies for cellular mutation.
13) Improved mental performance.
14) Lowers tendencies of depression and anxiety
disorders.
15) Deeper sleep to release stress.
7)
Severe Acidosis
•  Treat as double acid
•  Flush the body with water and raw
juices
•  Supplement with alkalizing minerals
(calcium, potassium and magnesium)
and chlorophyll
15 Benefits of Hydration
1) Significant detoxification of
stored cellular toxins.
2) Balances body pH towards
neutral.
3) Markedly elevates available
oxygen to the cells.
4) Improves immune system
function.
5) Increases energy to the body as a
whole.
6) Lowers pain from any condition.
