Urine test

Urinalysis is not a new concept. It's been around for a long time and is a test that an average person can do at home, in a village clinic, or anywhere. The easiest form to use are Urine Dipsticks.


For my healthcare experiment, I chose Multistix. These diagnostic dipsticks give me an overall view of my internal health. Specifically these strips test Glucose, Bilirubin, Ketone, Specific Gravity, Blood, pH, Protein, Uribilinogen, Nitrite, and Leukocytes. Instructions for use come with the Multistix package. There is test interpretation available on the Internet or in books, if you want to diagnose yourself. My Resources page might be helpful.


Good Luck on your DIY Healthcare Journey. I wish you well. Say hi as you pass me by. :-)

Do It Yourself pH Testing

This is the first test I started with – pH Stix for urine and saliva.

My composite score was 5.28. According to the supplied information, this shows I am in The VERY ACIDIC pH Zone.

I'll discuss this with my doctor at the next visit, along with my other DIY health tests. Together we'll determine the best course of action.

If I didn't have a doctor available or wanted to treat this on my own, I'd probably do the following....

Consider the recommendations at PHION website – the maker of the pH Stix.

Consider dietary changes by searching the Internet for suggestions, also looking for Alkaline Diets.

Check books on Alkaline Diets.

Good Luck on your own DIY Healthcare Journey!
