One's pH can be tested with pH strips (litmus) or a pH meter. And, since pH is the same thing as voltage... maybe a voltameter could be used. Testing is done first thing in am, b4 bed and/or 2 hours after eating. A healthy balance is between 7 and 8 on these strips.
According to: pH and Testing,
"Internal pH cannot be determined by urine or saliva pH alone. The kidneys have several methods for disposing of excess acid and each has a different effect on urine pH. Saliva pH is affected by bacteria and other microorganisms in the mouth and is not a reliable indicator of the internal environment. Symptoms are not always a reliable gauge since they may occur with any number of other problems."
Low voltage or a low number (acidic) on the pH strip is normally experienced by people who are unhealthy such as in chronic fatigue, cancer, MS, and diabetes... i.e. like me.
I am currently teaching myself about what foods to eat. I was shocked to find out how much of the food I eat is acid forming.
Here's some lists of what foods are acid or alkaline forming...
