Hydroxide Concentrate:
Usage Notes

An Introduction to HRx Hydroxide Concentrate
General Use HRx Instructions
here are only two
components to the HRx program: (1) The HRx Concentrate (to which water is added 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 use 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. If you follow our General Use Instructions, read this
page, and still have questions, you can always for
further clarification. Packaging Information
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.)
HRx Hydroxide Starter Kit --- (Consists of one & one set of pH strips in
the 6.5 to 10.0 range.) HRx Hydroxide Refill --- (8 fl. oz. - Makes about 8
gallons at 1 fl. oz. to one gallon ratio) HRx Hydroxide Refill
--- (32 fl. oz. - Makes about 32 gallons at 1 fl. oz. to one gallon ratio)
Note: is
scheduled for re-introduction on or about Dec. 1, 2009

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 are useful to this process. The first is ,
which comes in the Starter Kit (above) and measures from
pH 4.0 to 7.0, and , which monitors 6.5 to 10.0, ideal for
measuring your finished solutions before consuming. We advise you
to read our pH Test Strips page to
familiarize yourself with their uses.
