A neutral substance has a pH of 7, a substance with a pH above 7 is considered alkaline and a substance with a pH below 7 is considered acid. The term acidosis is used to describe a state of excess acidity in the body fluids whereby the term alkalosis describes a state of excess alkalinity.

pH stands for 'Power of Hydrogen'. Water molecules are made up of two hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom (H2o). Hydrogen atoms are the smallest atoms in the universe, having only a single proton and a single electron. Hydrogen is estimated to form 90% of the matter in the universe. Living things are extremely sensitive to pH and function best (with certain exceptions, such as different portions of the digestive tract) when solutions are nearly neutral.

What is pH?

Acid ReDux Acid Reflux Supplement
The scale that is used for measuring the pH, or hydrogen ion concentration, is from 0 to 14, with 7.0 being the neutral point. An "Acidic Body" means that the pH of the blood is below 7.0 and an "Alkaline Body" is above 7.0 with the ideal pH being 7.35. Outside of this range the body activity is no longer optimal and the metabolism is out of balance.

Welcome to Good Earth!
pH is a measure of the acidity ("sourness") or alkalinity ("sweetness") of soil. The scale ranges from 1 to 14, but few soils are more acidic that 5 or more alkaline than 9. A pH of 7 is perfectly neutral, but most plants grow best when the pH is a slightly acidic between 6.5. Soils in areas with low rainfall tend to be alkaline. Where rainfall is high, soils are more often acidic. This happens because rainfall gradually washes calcium from soil.

How does raising my pH level affect my health?

Coral Calcium - Frequently Asked Questions
It is well known that the body fluids of healthy people tend to be more alkaline (high pH) and the body fluids of sick or diseased people are acidic ( low pH). Healthy blood, spinal fluid and saliva are normally at a pH of 7.4. This alkaline state is necessary for cell growth, cell function and cell repair. It has been proven that cancer cannot grow in an alkaline solution because an alkaline solution will hold oxygen at a high level (Cause and Prevention of Cancer, Biochem Zeits, 152: 514-520).

What does ODEP stand for?

Amplifier Frequently Asked Questions
ODEP stands for Output Device Emulator Protection. ODEP is an analog computer simulation of the output device thermal impedance. In layman's terms ODEP stores how much power the amplifier delivers to its load and its heatsink temperature. If the protection circuit determines that the output stage is being overstressed or cannot dissipate any further heat, then output stage drive is limited (Also see the FAQ, "What is TLC?" below).

What does ZFS stand for?

ZFS FAQ at OpenSolaris.org
Originally, ZFS was an acronym for "Zettabyte File System." The largest SI prefix we liked was 'zetta' ('yotta' was out of the question). Since ZFS is a 128-bit file system, the name was a reference to the fact that ZFS can store 256 quadrillion zettabytes (where each ZB is 270 bytes). Over time, ZFS gained a lot more features besides 128-bit capacity, such as rock-solid data integrity, easy administration, and a simplified model for managing your data.

What is acceleration? What does "g" stand for?

California Geological Survey - Frequently Asked Questions
Acceleration, in physics, corresponds to the force applied to something that causes it to change its position or speed. It is the force you feel when a car accelerates from a stop sign, pushing you back into the car seat (it's a horizontal force). Similarly, when an elevator starts moving, you feel more weight on your legs (it's a vertical force). When a roller coaster car makes a hairpin turn, the acceleration may push you to the side, or up or down.

What does it mean that liquid zeolite balances the body's pH level?

Frequently Asked Questions
The zeolite in solution is a negatively charged molecule with a cage-like structure that is able to trap positively charged hydronium ions. These ions lower the pH or make it more acidic. By eliminating them, liquid zeolite helps balance the pH to a more neutral, alkaline level.

What is pH and how does it apply to skin?

Frequently Asked Questions
pH stands for potential of hydrogen. Every 1/10th increase in pH brings about a 10 times increase in oxygen. While most products attempt to balance to the pH of skin (5.2 to 5.6) TVI products which are highly oxygenated and near-perfectly charged have a pH of between 7 to 8.5, or doing the math, are hundreds to thousands of times more oxygenated than others. No wonder The Vital Image users have such beautiful skin. Back to Top
