Hello,
I believe that Ted said the salivary PH is governed/affected by potassium levels in the body. That makes it different from the urine PH. I have no idea about blood PH. I'm working on an "acid mouth" condition right now, and trying potassium. I have potassium citrate pills that I'm mixing into my "alkaline cocktail" which has baking soda in it, in the hopes of making the potassium bicarbonate that Ted mentions. Not sure if that will work, but I'm trying anyways :-) Perhaps you could consider mixing something with that baking soda, like apple cider vinegar or fresh squeezed lemon or lime juice, for more effect. I think, but am not sure, that there is a lot of potassium in ACV. I'll have to check my bottle label when I get home. Wishing you luck.
