You can verify that you are acidic by getting some pH tape and testing your saliva pH at least 2 hours after eating anything, or in the morning. It should be 6-6.4. Below 6 is problem and around 8 is a serious problem. Around 8 means you're alkaline because you're overcompensating for a major acid problem with ammonia.
The body uses calcium to buffer the pH. The problem is a lack of calcium, or actually a lack of vitamin D since most people get plenty of calcium or too much but not enough vitamin D. 2000 IU is ideal, and you can temporarily use 10,000 IU to fix a deficiency.You may want to double check your levels with a doctor before using 10,000 though it's unlikely to hurt. A tan will also give several thousand IU and as long as you don't burn yourself you're unlikely to increase your cancer risk. Sunshine also promotes the release of dopamine and serotonin for proper mood balance, while vitamin D alone does not. Extreme amounts of baking soda and maybe even vinegar might change your PH forcefully, but this is not the natural way to regulate pH and it could mess with your system and your stomach. Mostly that guy is a quack. Most people are, unfortunately, too acidic so it's a great problem for him to jump on.
Calcium is in fact essential for estrogen response in boobs and for their health in general. And besides regulating pH which is important for every chemical reaction in the body, it is used in several systems throughout the body and is important for general health. Or really vitamin D is, since we have such an overinflated calcium RDA. Vitamin K is also important but unless you never ever eat colorful veggies it's pretty easy to get. Like I said unless your pH is below 5 you're not particularly abnormal and I think this guy is only trying out a fad on you. You may be unhealthy, yes, but not unusually unhealthy.
My pH is 6.3-6.4 and my calcium intake is inconsistent so I know this works. I don't need to go through any unusual rituals to keep it that way.
