An Introduction to HRx Hydroxide Concentrate
General Use HRx Instructions | Order Now
here are only two components to the HRx program: (1) The HRx
Concentrate (because its more economical for us to sell
the concentrate and have you add water to make the finished
solution), and (2) pH Strips, which serve two functions.
The first, and more important, is your monitoring of your
pH daily. As we state on the HRx Introduction
page, upon arising in the morning, you take a pH reading of your
saliva and urine. Take the total and divide by two. Now, we
realize that even with "narrow range" pH strips, such as
we provide in our HRx Starter Kit (pH 4.0 to 7.0), you have
to deal with incrementalism. That is, these strips do not
yield the professional results of commercial pH testing
equipment, which give read-outs to two or even three
decimal points. But we also do not have to have this
level of precision to accomplish our objective. Yes,
the "narrow range" pH strips are within 0.3 in the
area you need to monitor. With simple "visual interpolation,"
you can further close in to within plus or minus 0.1 pH.
Again, this is sufficient. 
One other thing you
might want to do is monitor the pH of your finished water.
We know from experience that if you follow
our instructions and add 1.5 fluid ounces to a gallon of purified water,
the pH of the "finished solution" will be about 9.0.
But there are reasons to purchase the 6.5 to 10.0
test strips. You will notice, if you test for it, that even
distilled water
purchased in the supermarket is in the 6.0's. It is not a neutral 7.0,
as you might think. There can be considerable variances in water
between one area and another. Also, you may be using purified water
that is not as pure as you think and, again, if the pH of your
"base water" is considerably more acidic than the mean average,
you would need to add more HRx concentrate to get to a finished
solution pH of 9.0. This is something you should consider.
Note that all pH indicator strip sets are available on our
order page. If you follow our
General Use Instructions,
read this page, and still have questions, you can always
for further clarification. Español, Português, Deutsch

Pre-Purchase Instructions
Like our H3O Concentrate, our
HRx Concentrate is sold both in a "kit," which
comes with (1) One 8 fl. oz. (240 ml.) HRx concentrate - enough
to make in excess of 5 gal. (19 liters) of finished product,
or 10 days worth of consumption if you drink 2 quarts
per day; and (2) One set of EM Science pH strips --
"narrow range," covering pH 6.0 to 10.0 in increments of 0.3. See picture at left (half of the
chart has been enlarged for easier viewing - see our
pH Testing Strips page for other photos of the strip sets.)

pH indicator strips Making the most of your
HRx Concentrate involves a regular monitoring of pH:
your own pH (through measurements of saliva and urine), and,
to a lesser extent, if you wish to be precise, the pH of
the solutions you make. (We "get you in the ballpark" by
providing a protocol that asks you to add 1.5 fluid ounces
per gallon of purified or distilled water. This newly
prepared solution will run about pH 9.0, depending on the
base water's pH and purity.)Two different
pH sets (each of which run $9.50 USD in our order center)
are useful to this process. The first is Code 9582, which
comes in the Starter Kit (Code 1080 above) and measures
from pH 4.0 to 7.0, and Code 9583, which monitors 6.5 to
10.0, ideal for measuring your finished solutions before
consuming. We carry four different EM Science pH indicator
testing strips, and we advise you to read our pH
Test Strips page to familiarize yourself with their uses.
