I would add that although the pH reading (salvia/urine) is not accurate as a correct reading of the body's pH it does give a correct indication of the direction your body is going when taken over 60-90 days.

Then add the numbers together and divide by 2 to get the average. That average can be considered a close approximation of body pH. As Garnet pointed out, pH taken after eating or drinking only measures the pH of the food just consumed. I would think that the water we drink is mostly what effects our PH as we drink much more water than we intake food. One can alter ones PH quickly by raising the PH of the water one drinks. There is an interesting article here: http://www.altcancer.com/hydrox.htm on pH.
