Water can kill. At 10 degrees centigrade, pure distilled water, is 96% to 97%
pentagonally structured liquid. In this type of structured water, fish and algae and plankton will die. |
Water is alive. Hexagonally structured water is healthier to drink. A good example is the snow flake. Snow- melted water has always been popular to drink. Water from mountain lakes and streams, that comes from
snow packs, has long been known to be the healthiest water in the world. It is what we call “living water.“ |
WATER CAN BE IONIZED |
When an atom or molecule gains or loses an electron, ionization occurs. When water is ionized, the molecule
splits into two parts, the hydrogen ion (H+) and the hydroxyl ion (OH-). These ions combine with other
solutes in water, often minerals like calcium or potassium, to create an active chemical reaction. |
ACID AND ALKALINE WATER |
When water carries more hydrogen that hydroxyl ions, it is said to be acid; when hydroxyl ions predominate,
then science calls water alkaline. Our blood system is always working to keep itself at that narrow range of
pH 7.3 to 7.45. This process is called homeostasis. |
When we drink a popular soft drink like colas, which have an acidic pH of 2.5, the bloodstream does not lower
itself to that level. Rather, the sugars and other elements in the drink are processed by the blood into acid
wastes: some are eliminated, and others are stored at various locations in the body. |
HOW WE AGE |
What is it that causes us to grow old? Many theories exist today, and they all seem to have one quality in
common: they cannot stop, hinder, or slow down the aging process. For example, the Wear and Tear Theory
argues that aging is genetic; and that theory is closely related to the Limited Number of Cell Division Theory,
which proposes that the cell has only a limited number of divisions, and when used up, the body dies. Another
theory tells us that aging is related to the breakdown of glucose, blood sugar. All these theories, and numerous
others, lead to dead ends. They certainly have not produced better health. |
A NEW THEORY OF AGING |
Modern medicine has not been able to answer the Why We Age question. Yet another theory of aging and
illness has been around for a long time. It has been voiced by natural healing practitioners all over the world,
in America, Asia and Europe. Briefly, this theory holds that aging (and many diseases) result from the
accumulation of acid waste products in the body. |
WHAT CAUSES ACID WASTED BUILD-UP? |
Bad diet, either a present routine or one from your past, can cause acid wastes to be stored in the body. A meat
and potato diet, for example, can cause the body to become more acidic. When acid wastes enter the blood-
stream, the blood, in order to maintain that narrow pH range, must store these wastes somewhere. These
wastes, lodged in the body over decades, will overburden the whole system. A method has to be found to rid
the body of wastes. |
WHAT IS ALKALINE WATER? |
One of the longest-lived race of people in the world are called the Hunza. These people, located in the
northern Pakistan, are found in several high-altitude mountain valleys. Many Hunza claim to be 150
years old; many others are documented centenarians (over age one hundred). For many years, scientists have
pondered the mystery of what makes them so healthy, for they rarely suffer the diseases the rest of us know so
well. Some researchers are beginning to believe that the Hunza miracle derives from the water that they drink.
The mountain water that flows into the Hunza villages comes from the surrounding glaciers. Structured
hexagonally, this water is filled with mineral solutes, and it tests out as highly alkaline |
As we have said before, the body uses the blood stream system to dispose of wastes; these are removed in
liquid form, and are often deposited in the lungs and kidneys. If there are too many wastes to handle, they are
deposited in various organ systems, like the heart, or the pancreas, or the liver, or the colon, or in other
locations. Sometimes theses wastes are left on the walls of arteries, and over the years can spread throughout
the body. |
The break-down of this disposal process, especially of acid wastes, is how we define the aging process. To
slow down and reverse this direction, one must begin removing acid wastes from the body. |
The best way we have found to do this is to drink alkaline water. This water, having a pH of between of 9 and
11, will first neutralize harmful stored acid wastes, and if you consume it every day, will gently remove them
from your body. Yet, since the water is ionized, it will not leach out valuable alkaline minerals like calcium,
magnesium, potassium, or sodium. |
Japanese doctors have treated their patients for over four decades with alkaline water. They believe that the
immune system looses its power to throw off disease when the body becomes too acidic. They advocate
drinking alkaline water, eating alkaline foods. |
Asian medicine assigns two categories to human diseases: communicable and adult. Contagious or
communicable diseases are caused by viruses and bacteria. Influenza, the common cold, aids, plagues, all fall
into this category, and medical doctors are quite proficient at treating them. Adult diseases include heart
disease, cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, gout, arthritis, kidney diseases, hemorrhoids, asthma, hay fever,
allergies, obesity, tooth and gum disease, skin disorders, and many others. |
They are caused by poor circulation, by deficient cellular activity, and by the accumulation of acid wastes in
the body. Asian medicine says that many adult diseases can be treated by alkalizing the bloodstream. |
Medicine of America does not attempt to remove acid wastes from the physiological system; so today's modern
medicine is rather deficient in treating adult diseases. Even if the medicine cures the disease, if acids are not
removed from the body, the treatment's effectiveness will at best only be temporary. |
WHAT CAUSES ACID WASTES? |
Bad diets - including meat and potatoes, fried foods, soft drink colas, sucrose and other sugars - build up acid
salts in the body. Often these deposits, by having to be stored away from blood flow, can remain in the body
for decades. |
| Stress - both mental and physical - can also form acid deposits in the body. Mental stress can make you feel
depressed. While the physiological, scientific connection to stress in the body has not been completely
established, there exists a school of thought in psychology, called psychosomatics, which maintains that one's
mental state will influence health. Doctors in Japan, following more than forty years of research and testing,
believe that daily drinking of alkaline water can lift depression. Let us look at some of the healing benefits of
drinking ionized alkaline water. |
OBESITY |
Overweight is a major health problem in America. It arises form the overeating of carbohydrates and fats.
When the metabolic process is not able to burn them away, the blood must place these fatty acids somewhere.
It first stores them under the skin, around the waist in men, and around the hips, thighs and breasts in women.
Then it deposits wastes around organs and tissues, which then receive a smaller supply of nutrients and are
thereby damaged. This second stage is more deadly. An easy gentle way to lose weight is to wash fatty acids
out of the body by drinking six to eight glasses of alkaline water a day. This practice has been employed in
Japan for the last thirty years, and doctors there record numerous instances of weight loss. |
CANCER |
Dr. Keiichi Morishita in his book, The Hidden Truth of Cancer, states that if the blood develops a more acidic
condition, then these excess acidic wastes have to be deposited somewhere in the body. If this unhealthy
process continues year after year, these areas steadily increase in acidity, and their cells begin to die. Other
cells in the affected area may survive by becoming abnormal; these are called malignant. Malignant cells do
not respond to brain commands. They undergo a cellular division that is out of control. This is called cancer.
modern medicine in America treats these malignant cells as if they were bacteria or viruses. It uses
chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery to treat cancer. Yet none of these treatments will help very much, if
after all of that, the acidic environment remains. Drinking water that has high alkaline pH, because of its
de-acidifying effect, will help in preventing cancer. In Asia, alkaline water is regularly served to patients, and
is considered a regular part of treatment. |
BLOOD PRESSURE & HEART DISEASE |
Acidification of the body begins in the blood. Remember that the blood must keep its pH within that safe
range of 7.3 to 7.45, and will do so by transforming liquid wastes into solid ones and storing them. This
physiological state of homeostasis is maintained by chemicals called buffers. When buffer levels are too low,
possibly from the ingestion of too many acid foods or drinks, then a condition called acidosis develops.
Japanese doctors feel that people with high blood pressure have an acidosis condition. They cite many
successful clinical cases where the ingestion of high pH alkaline water has lowered blood pressure. These
doctors cite several causes for their success in lowering blood pressure through administering alkaline water.
When the pH of blood is raised or alkalinized, and if you raise it from 7.3 to 7.45 you increase its pH by 68%,
then excess oxygen is added to the blood, and the heart does not have to work as hard. Also, the ionized
calcium added to the blood from the alkaline water may be dissolving the plaque and cholesterol build-up on
the walls of the arteries. While the effect of alkaline water is gentle, and its greatest health benefits do not
happen in a day or a month, you should be able to lower your blood pressure within a few months of drinking
alkaline water. Japanese doctors have been using alkaline water to successfully treat high blood pressure for
years.. |
DIABETES |
The adult disease of diabetes is called insulin independent diabetes mellitus. It usually affects people over the
age of 40. People who have this ailment usually eat too much and are overweight. Age is a factor here,
because the efficiency of the pancreas decreases as we grow older. A shortage of calcium ions in the body
impairs the production and release of the insulin hormone. That can lead to an acidic blood condition.
Clogged blood vessels caused by excess protein buildup also impair pancreatic function. Alkaline water, by
supplying calcium in an ionized form, and by preventing excess protein buildup, can help this condition. The
Japanese have been successfully clinically treating diabetes with alkaline water. |
ARTHRITIS |
Many different forms of arthritis and gout are the result of the accumulation of acid wastes in the joints.
Ointments simply cover-up symptoms. Aspirin, being acidic, can offer short-term relief, but over a longer
period, it can add to the pain. Alkaline water is employed by Asian doctors to alter the acidic condition in the
body so that the body can fix the problem by itself. |
KIDNEY DISEASE |
As the body consumes toxins, the kidneys become over-burdened with acid wastes. Nephritis, uremia
poisoning, and bladder diseases are all acid related conditions which can be treated by the consumption of
alkaline water. Kidney stones begin as tiny specks; they gradually build into solid stones, composed of
phosphates, urates, etc. They are another form of acidic salts. Drinking plenty of alkaline water will prevent
kidney stones from forming, and even after their formation, it can dissolve them. Japanese doctors have used
alkaline water for years to treat the kidneys. |
THE ALKALINE WATER MAKER |
Alkaline water is produced using electrolysis to electrically split filtered tap water into alkaline and acid water.
The machine was first developed in Japan in the early 1950's, and approved for use as a medical device by The
Health & Rehabilitation Ministry in Jan. of 1966. The ionized minerals found in city tap water are important.
Common alkaline minerals are sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium; the common acid minerals are
chlorine, lead, sulfur and phosphorous. The water ionizer has two chambers, with a positive and a negative
electrode. When the process is complete, one chamber provides alkaline water with its ionized alkaline
minerals. This is what we drink, the water that is so healthy for us. |
ALKALINE WATER EXPERIENCES |
A woman in her forties under high stress was diagnosed with high blood pressure and was told she had
abnormally high cholesterol levels. She began consuming one and a half quarts a day of alkaline water.
After a few weeks, both her cholesterol and blood pressure were lowered; and as an added benefit, her stomach
began to feel much better. A teenager with a severe acne began drinking the water, and after three months, the
condition was cleared up. He consumed two quarts a day of alkaline water. A man worried about the effect of
the prescription drugs that he was taking for overweight began consuming two quarts of the water per day.
after six months, he had thrown away his drugs, and had lost over thirty pounds. In California, a man had
been suffering from hyper-acidity for many years, and after eating a meal would unpredictably vomit. He
began consuming six glasses of the alkaline water per day. Within a week his acidity ended; he also lost
fifteen pounds in three months, and discovered a dramatic rate of increase in his ability to heal small ailments,
like cuts and bruises. A woman had suffered constipation for thirty years, and began drinking water on a
regular basis, and completely rid herself of this condition. She had also lacked an appetite for years, but has
now developed a healthy one. One man who likes to consume alcohol moderately, noticed when he began
consuming the water on a regular basis, that he quit suffering hangovers, and that the drowsiness he regularly
experienced had left him. A female athlete in her twenties began consuming the alkaline water for a stomach
condition; she felt an increase in her general energy level, and after a day of strenuous training, found that the
alkaline water minimized the aches and pains she had always previously experienced. For years, a woman had
suffered ulcers, and was feeling nauseous from her medication; a regular consumption of the water allowed her
to cease her medication and the ulcer began to go away. One could go on and on with these stories, and there
are many more, but what we suggest you do is simply try the water yourself. |
