Has anyone measured blood alkalosis/acidosis?

Gdbol theories are all into alkalosis and the blood pH test will confirm that. So noone is planning to measure blood pH?

Thank you.

I've had mine measured before, and it was outside the usual 7.35-7.45 range, but from memory I'm sure it was acidic, but I need to recheck - I'll ask the doctor next week.

My understanding is this would indicate acidosis which is a bit surprising as my other bloods would indicate alkalosis I think (low potassium, low (sometimes very low) inorganic phosphate, high cortisol.

Its always to measure things in order to know what isnthe actual situation, and to measure later to know if protocol is sucess.

I measured my venous blood gas:

My VBG does show slightly acidic ph, high blood co2, low blood o2, low blood o2 saturation (seems typical of a slow oxidiser according to gbolduev - which my hair test said i was too)

[mention]MattyB[/mention] said it wasn't very reliable because it was venous (not arterial). You can't get arterial where I am unless you have some kind of medical emergency...




HOWEVER - even though Matty said this, other websites like this one say otherwise:
https://lifeinthefastlane.com/ccc/vbg-versus-abg/

It says pH has good correlation between vbg and abg.
It says pCO2 has good correlation.
Says HCO3 has good correlation.
Says Base excess has good correlation.

Seems like i have mild respiratory acidosis if this is the case.

tested tons of people with POIS. All in alkalosis. Some with concurrent lactic acidosis

Don you tested them yourself? Which method did you use? Tested any with PFS?

Could anyone tell me finally how to test alkalosis?

Plus why does people recover from using androsterone for example, it has nothing to do with alkalosis...
Thanks

What do you mean with method did I use. ABG - arterial blood gases with a device specfically made for it.

They do have fairly good agreement, but "fairly good agreement" doesn't mean exact matches. pH can be off as much as 10% (+/- 0.7) in venous vs. arterial - yours is barely below the cutoff. And CO2 will be way more elevated in venous, by as much as 20-25% (+/- 9mmHg) - yours is barely above the cutoff. So both are realistically within range considering error.

I've read you can get an indication of this from urine using a litmus paper, anyone suggest if this is a reliable indicator?
It’s easy to measure your pH levels using saliva or urine with litmus paper. Ideally, your pH should be slightly alkaline, in the range of 7.2 to 7.4 (just a bit more alkaline than water, which has a neutral pH of 7.0).

If your pH is lower than 7.2, you’re in a state of acidosis. By contrast, a pH above 7.43 signals excessive alkalinity, or alkalosis, which is very rare.

Where do you have seen someone that recovered using androstrone? Well maybe you refer to users of pine pollen?

I have tried 2 or 3 bottles of Androsterone of Ideal Labs, I have been getting better but still not recovered.

In swolesource CdNuts recovered by using it, Maxout same and English as well if I am not wrong.
