I've been trying to dispel this shit with people I know for years.
Your body doesn't have "a pH". Your body has many compartments with many different levels of acidity. Your stomach has a low pH. You don't want it to be high. Your skin has a fairly low pH. Likewise, you don't want it to be high. The idea that your whole body becomes "too acidic" has always been a crock of shit.
Your body needs to carefully manage the pH of certain tissues. Like those in circulation. You'd die really quickly if your body wasn't always managing this.
It's pretty much the same with "detox". You're always detoxing. 24/7. You don't need to detox. You need to stay away from poison.
I always just assume they're talking about blood pH, which needs to run 7.4 or you're in trouble. IIRC your blood is alkaline with a fever and acidic blood lowers your body temp.
Ketoacidosis, metabolic acidosis, lactic acidosis, etc. all refer to blood pH being too low (and all are bad).

In fact, why stop there?
Be a real man and aim for 3.7!
