Hi Sandie, that obviously sounds very difficult. Last week I learned something astounding about temperature change and blood pH. It was actually very counterintuitive and hard to believe, so I nicely grilled the author on Facebook and she held steady, so I choose to believe:
the higher the air temperature, the higher the blood pH. Also, the lower the air temperature, the lower the blood pH. I'm not necessarily advocating her diet, but here's her template based on actually testing people.

This is completely contrary to what I would have thought. Even water and plasma tests outside the body show a rise in temperature lowers pH (more acidic), But there appears to be a
skin-blood axis and like many compartments of the body, one affects the other. So, when someone takes a hot shower and their skin temperature rises, according this information their blood pH would also rise (become more alkaline). This shift in blood pH may affect cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) pH where CSF pH is said to reflect blood pH. So, this might shift brain pH as discussed earlier toward alkalosis and cause seizure. Then the brain naturally raises acid (lowers pH) to halt seizure. The big question is, why is the body overcompensating?
One system often compensates for another, i.e., respiratory vs. metabolic (renal) acidosis/alkalosis, but why overcompensation? To me, the wildcard is microbial imbalance, though I'm sure there may be other reasons. Yet diet which shifts flora is a powerful tool in stopping seizure activity. Neurology still treats epilepsy from the neck up as if the body is sterile.
Our bodies are like any body of water, even a swimming pool which must be constantly maintained, especially pH balance, or it turns green.
