The pH+

First day of naturopathy training, a teacher mentions Marchesseau and talks about tissue acidosis. I don’t know what that is. He has us measure our urinary pH with test strips: 5.2, acidic.

Want to assess your level of colloidal toxemia? Take the colloidal toxemia questionnaire and discover my article on hepatic detoxification.

Bioactive Molecules

This is THE basic juice of the naturopath for correcting tissue acidosis. Celery provides organic sodium as an alkaline buffer, spinach supplies magnesium and chlorophyll, cucumber hydrates at 96%¹. Lemon is acidic in the mouth but alkalinizing once metabolized, it’s the best documented paradox in nutritional biochemistry². Together they create an ultra-alkalinizing cocktail that corrects acidic urinary pH in just a few weeks of daily treatment³.

Cucumber, celery, spinach, green apple and lemon. The basic juice of the naturopath for rebalancing the acid-base terrain and remineralizing the body.

This juice is my answer to the question: what is the healthiest juice? Maximum greens, minimum sugar, a massive alkalinizing mineral load. Dark green, slightly bitter, extraordinarily powerful.

My answer to the question ‘what is the healthiest juice?’ Maximum greens, minimum sugar, a massive alkalinizing mineral load. Dark green, slightly bitter, and extraordinarily powerful. The naturopath’s juice.

Key Micronutrients Table

Micronutrient	Main Role
Chlorophyll	Tissue oxygenation, structure close to hemoglobin (Mg vs Fe)
Silicon	Trace element of connective tissue, skin, nails, hair
Organic Sodium	Alkalinizing electrolyte, very different from table salt
Potassium	Major electrolyte, acid-base pH regulation
Magnesium	Cofactor for 300+ enzymes, muscle and nerve relaxation
Pectin	Soluble prebiotic fiber, nourishes the microbiome

Preparation with an Extractor

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cucumber
• 3 celery stalks
• 1 handful of spinach
• 1 lemon, peeled
• 1 green apple

Roll the spinach into a ball between two pieces of cucumber to maximize extraction. The watery cucumber helps rinse the screw.

My Recommended Extractor

For this recipe, I use the Hurom H400. Cold pressing preserves all the enzymes, vitamins and phytonutrients that the heat from a centrifuge would destroy.
