Real Water Concentrate - How Does It Work?

Real Water Concentrate = Real Water Health!

I’ve posted many articles regarding the importance of eating and drinking alkaline foods and beverages as well as doing other things to limit the bombardment of acidic substances that your body must endure. The best article, in my opinion, is the Quackwatch reply, marked above. None of those articles explain how the Real Water Concentrate actually works. I am going to simplify it in a way that made sense to me. This isn’t a scientific explanation of REAL WATER, rather a layman’s explanation.

Your body tries to maintain alkalinity level in your blood of pH 7.4. It uses a number of different chacks and balances (buffers) to maintain this, so when you eat or drink something acidic it immediately reacts to lessen the effect of that acidic ‘thing’ on your bodies environment. When your body pH is out of balance for an extended period of time, you get sick. Disease thrives in an acidic environment.

Drinking alkaline ionized water, such as The Real Water Club’s Real Water, is one way to help your body’s buffering system out. Real Water helps to ease the load, so to speak, so it doesn’t have to work so hard fighting against the assault of acidic forces in our environment.

As an aside… I have been hearing about "Acid Rain" since I was quite young. In fact, it is a term that is so accepted now in today’s society that it has lost all meaning. Acid rain was NOT a reality many years ago. Acid rain is a direct result of our industrialized society. When water falls from the sky it carries with it particles of airborne contaminants that create smog…. factory by products, and exhaust etc. This is what has changed the earth’s water from pH neutral (or slightly alkaline) to what it is today…. ACID RAIN"

So it is easy to see that if something as HUGE as the rain that falls to the earth is acidic then all the untreated water on earth is. There isn’t any way for it not to be. Not only is it acidic though, it is also damaged. Being subjected to toxins, and magnetic pulls, rushing through lead (and other metal) pipes has weakened the bonds that hold the water molecules together. They are no longer structured as tightly as they once were. Our BODY must tighten the bonds… re-structure the water… before it can assimilate it for use in the cells.

Real Water Function - Re-Structure

One of the things that the Real Water Concentrate does is re-structures the water. It holds an electrical charge that tightens the bonds between molecules and clusters them in a way that water used to be found in nature. This is a structure that your body immediately recognizes. This allows for quicker absorption into the cells, and superior hydration.

Real Water Function - Alkalinity

Real Water Concentrate adds a negative charge to your water making it more bio-available. A side benefit is the proper pH due to your water now having the correct amount of electrons. In other words, it is the very thing that makes the water re-structure (the electric charge) that also makes it more alkaline. The extra (negatively charged) hydrogen ions not only give the Real Water the ability to be electrically charged, but also create a slightly alkaline envirnment. These extra negatively charged hydrogen ions have huge anti-oxidant effect in your blood stream as the travel through your system and grab on to free radicals.

Real Water Science - E2 Technology

We guarantee that Real Water Concentrate has a stabilized negative (-) Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) through a proprietary process called the Electron Energized or E2 technology. Our concentrate does not have any chemicals added to maintain a proper pH as many other products do to achieve alkalized water.

The Real Water Club

The Real Water Club is simply a free membership club that allows you to order your Real Water Concentrate at wholesale. In other words, the Real Water Club is a distribution model. much like COSTCO, where you must be a member in order to enjoy lower prices. The difference is that unlike COSTCO, when you join The Real Water Club, membership is FREE, and you can EARN COMMISSION simply by telling others about the product and letting them join the Real Water Club through YOUR membership.

The Real Water Club - Real Water

I love the idea of Real Water Concentrate from The Real Water Club. It comes in a 4 ounce dropper bottle that is convenient and extremely portable. It is wonderful to know that every time I have a drink I am giving my body exactly what it needs to reverse aging and ill health. You can order Real Water Concentrate from The Real Water Club. Membership to The Real Water Club is free and the Real Water Concentrate is only $39.95 for a month’s supply.

The Real Water Club - Timing

The Real Water Club Product

Understanding of acidity and how it affects our lives and our health is beginning to become more "main stream". The timing for a product like this could not be better. it is facing acceptance in most markets, the price point is extremely affordable, and many people already have, or are considering a purchase, of a water ionizer machine such as Enagic’s Kangen Water Ionizer, or The Jupiter… another relatively well known product.

People are THRILLED to know that an investment on $2000 to $4000 all at once simply isn’t necessary any more. Now you can purchase a 4 ounce bottle of Real Water Concentrate for as little as $39.95. For people who already have the water ionizer machine at home, this product is a wonderful addition. Now they can have their ionized water at home and take their Real Water with them when they travel.

The Real Water Club Business Opportunity

Economically, we are in frightening times. The US dollar is devalued, and we are deep in a recession. Some areas of the United States are experiencing an economic depression. Just about everybody would love to have a way to supplement family income, but they do not have money to invest in a franchise or traditional ‘brick and mortar" business.

The Real Water Club is a mixture of the good parts of a traditional MLM style business (referral marketing) coupled with a commission structure that pays incredibly well…. 50 cents of every dollar brought in to the company from sales is sent back out to the field distributors in the way of compensation. Tis generous compensation, along with a simple pay plan structure ensures that anyone can earn an income, should they desire. You do not have to be a sales professional to reap the rewards of supplemental income. when a product makes sense, telling people is simple and lucrative.

Starting a business with The Real Water Club is as easy as enrolling as a member of The Real Water Club for free. You will get a free website right away and you can begin telling others about the product or business opportunity. When other people order product as a business owner, or customer, if you referred them you will earn a referral commission. As people you refer tell others your circle of influence grows. Each time someone within your circle of influence orders a product, you have the ability to earn a commission.

The Real Water Club Compensation Plan

The Real Water Club Compensation Plan (or rewards plan) is a pay plan designed to allow even the most inexperienced marketer to easily earn commissions. It has 2 main parts… a 2 team structure (called a binary) where everyone you tell is stacked in one team or the other, one after the other. The is another part of the plan, called a unilevel plan where everyone you tell about is lined up side by side and they each build their own teams. It’s kind of like playing on the basketball team and the soccer team in the same season. The rules are different but if you do your part you will reap the rewards.

Here is a complete explanation of the compensation plan in flash movie format.

Here is a complete explanation of the compensation plan in PDF format.

Acid is Stored in our Fat Cells - Scientific Study

Posted by admin on September 12, 2008
Acid/Alkaline, Ionized Water, Water / No Comments

By Alderin Ordell, MA, based on the IonLife Report :

Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, Alkalize or Die

“The countless names of ill-nesses do not really matter. What does matter is that they all come from the same root cause … too much tissue acid waste in the body!”

Dr. Robert O. Young, The pH Miracle

“We can heal ourselves by changing the environment inside our bodies. Potentially harmful invaders, then, will have nowhere to grow and will become harmless.”

Storing Acid in our Bodies :

Dr. Lynda Frassetto from the University of California believes that humans, in evolutionary terms, have changed. Once upon a time, our bodies used to break down food and dispose of the acid waste with our kidneys and livers. But now, because of the sheer amount of acid waste the average American produces, she sees our inner bodies being turned into a war zone, where our body is fighting to protect its most strategic reserves — our kidney and liver — from total degradation and failure.

To prove this theory, Dr. Frassetto studied 1000 people and discovered that we are indeed stockpiling acid waste in our fatty deposits instead of eliminating it with our kidneys and liver. Cholesterol and crystallized uric acid are solidified acids that have been dumped within the body for later disposal, which never comes. Our bodies have made the choice to preserve our kidney and liver instead of processing the acid waste.

The cost is tremendous — obesity, low energy, and many acid related diseases such as osteoarthritis, diabetes, cancer, and much more.

When our bodies are excessively acidic, they borrow essential minerals such as calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium from our vital organs and bones to buffer or neutralize the acid. The result is our bodies suffer from prolonged degradation or corrosion which manifests into these dehabilitating conditions.

The reason is simple — the average American diet contains way too much acid. Diet coke and other soda is probably the most acidic food people consume at a pH of 2.5. Beer and meat are at 3.5, then there’s diary, white pasta, most water, wine, hard alcohol, nuts and butters, beans, oils — all acidic foods. All produce acid waste in our bodies that they can‘t handle.

Dr. Robert O. Young agrees with Dr. Frassetto‘s theory. Sugar is an acid and he sees Westerners consumption of sugar as the reason why so many are overweight. The body has to protect itself from the excess sugar, so it creates fat to encase the acid. “Fat,” he says. “Is saving our lives.”

Then there’s the problem of disease. The stomach works by producing acid to break down food. Whenever this acid is made, alkaline buffers are also created and sent through our blood stream, naturally alkalizing our body. A healthy balanced body has alkaline reserves to battle diseases, infections, and viruses. But if excessive acid must be continuously neutralized or stored, our alkaline reserves will be depleted, leaving our bodies weakened and disease prone.

Acid and Stress :

Acid comes from three sources — food, pollution, and stress. Of these three, stress is the greatest problem. One shot of adrenaline can neutralize and acidify an alkaline diet. So stress management as well as diet management is essential to maintaining an alkaline body.

The worst case scenario in which many Westerners fit into is where we work 40-50 hour stressful weeks with hardly any breaks to calm ourselves down. We consume fast food and coffee for quick bursts of artificial energy to just get through our work day. Then we come home to family stresses, household chores, bills, and more and never really relax and give our bodies a chance to neutralize all the acid we produced through stress and from eating very acidic foods.

So acid in our bodies build up until we begin to show symptoms — digestive problems, headaches, overweight, bone pains, elimination issues, muscle tension and pain, heart problems, high blood pressure, and more.

We spend our lives giving ourselves to our jobs and families and never take the time to nourish our bodies, mind, and soul.

More Effects on Acid on our Body :

Acidity is like rust. We have 96,000 kilometers of veins and arteries, all of which are corroded by acid. If nothing is done, acid interrupts all cellular activities and functions — from our beating heart to the way we think.

Acid coagulates blood. Blood also can’t flow around fatty acids so capillaries clog up and die. Our skin begins to wrinkle and isn’t as stretchy. Even if you put out the money for a face lift or liposuction, the acid still remains and will do damage. As for our lungs and other organs, all are involved in the maintenance of correct blood pH so if all have to work harder to deal with excessive acid, all will stop functioning a whole lot sooner than we want them to.

Did you know that if any substance changes from a 7 to an 8 pH, it has become ten times more alkaline? The opposite is also true, if it changes from a 7 pH to a 6, it has become ten times more acidic.

If our blood pH drops from its optimum level of 7.36 pH to 7 pH, you will lapse into a coma and die. This change represents our body becoming four times more acidic than it should be. In this environment, beneficial microforms will die and aggressive microforms sustained by an acidic environment begin to multiply and mutate, becoming parasitic and pathogenic agents. You would die from poisoning from your own blood. Because of this, our organs are totally subservient to blood pH meaning the body will destroy our organs before it lets our blood pH change too much.

Coca Cola gives us such a charge not just from the caffeine but because its 2.5 acidity sets of alarms all over our body and stored alkaline reserves are called in to fight the surge of adrenaline. Coca-cola, is 50,000 times more acidic than neutral water and it takes 32 glasses of neutral pH water to balance one glass of soda! The “high” you experience is your body screaming for help while you enjoy the thrill of its fear.

Dr. Theodore A. Baroody, author of “Alkalize or Die” says, “Too much acidity in the body is like having too little oil in the car. It just grinds to a halt one lazy Sunday afternoon. There you are — stuck. The body does the same thing.”

Your Energy Levels :

Our metabolic process is dependent on balance. Our 75 trillion cells are slightly acidic on the inside, while our outside inner sea should be alkaline. Without this acid/alkaline relationship, no chemical or energy interchange could happen because there isn’t any pH balance. There needs to be polarity between our cells and inner sea or the energy of the cell has difficulty flowing into the surrounding tissues. Thus, we don’t get the energy from the food we eat. In fact if its too acidic, it will make us tired– the opposite process of what we need!

Parasites :

More and more doctors are beginning to understand that disease is caused by an unbalance of nutritional, electrical, structural, toxicological, or biological systems of our body, allowing germs to flourish. Yeast, fungi, viruses, and moulds are all microforms that exist in our bodies. They feed off of glucose, fats, and proteins in our bodies. They deposit their toxic excretions in us, making us even more acidic.

Disease can only be cured when our blood is maintained and a normal, slightly alkaline level, where these germs can‘t thrive. We need to reestablish balance and work with our bodies, not against them.

Mineral Absorption :

People spend a lot of money on supplements each year — and most of it is wasted. The reason is there are many factors that influence which minerals are absorbed by the body and which aren’t.

Every mineral has its own signature pH. When you look at a element chart, those at the lower end can be absorbed at a high range of pH. But those at the higher end like need a much smaller pH range to be absorbed. If you body is not balanced it will reject most minerals.

Iodine, for example, is high on the atomic scale and thus needs near perfect pH for it to be absorbed. Iodine is a requirement for a healthy thyroid. Thyroid deterioration has been linked to arthritis, heart attacks, diabetes, depression, cancer, obesity, and fatigue.

There has also been a depletion of minerals in our agriculture lands, leading to inadequate mineral supply in our diets. Minerals are important because they determine the conductivity of electricity in our bodies. Our nervous system uses electricity to monitor and report on our organs and subsystems. If our bodies aren’t balanced, our nervous system cannot keep accurate information and our organs and subsystems won‘t get what they need to operate correctly.

Mercury and other Heavy Metals :

The more acidic a body is, the more it holds onto heavy metals such as mercury. Heavy metals create a high oxidative stress that acidifies the body, making it even worse. A recent study of Alzheimers disease identifies mercury as the prime suspect for being the cause.

The good news is alkaline water has been shown to have an immediate detoxifying effect on the body. People experience the normalizing of bowel movements and classic detoxification symptoms such as itching, body aches, and head aches as the toxins leave their bodies.

Balancing with Alkaline Water and Food :

To achieve balance, health practitioners recommend an 80/20 mix of alkaline and acidic foods. Problem is, most people don’t like and don’t normally eat enough alkaline food such as spinach, broccoli, and silver beets.

Alkaline water, however, is much easier to adapt to your eating lifestyle. Not only does it help you achieve that 80/20 alkaline to acidic balance, it also hydrates your body as much as three times more effectively than regular water because the water molecule has been reduced. The minerals in the water are negatively charged making them much easier for your body to absorb. Also, alkaline ionized water is full of bound oxygen plus negative hydrogen ions that are nature’s original antioxidant. Then you also have a state of the art nine stage water purifier working for you that will remove 99.9% of most organic and inorganic contaminants.

Just carry your 4 ounce dropper bottle of Real Water Concentrate around and enjoy glass after glass of ionized, alkaline water while you’re at work or school, and drink a glass in the morning and before bed.

If you can drink alkaline ionized water while also eating a sensible diet and incorporating alkalizing activities into your lifestyle such as meditation or prayer, your body will balance.

Sang Wang, scientist, inventer, and drinker of alkaline water for seventeen years says the problem with trying to alkalize with food is that unless you can afford organic, you will metabolize a large amount of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other chemical residue. He adds that if drink too much alkaline water, it will simply pass through the kidneys and flush away any germs that might be there.

In summary, alkaline ionized water is used by millions of Japanese and Korean families and has been a part of their culture since the 1980’s. Alkaline ionized water is found in hospitals, sanitariums, and clinics throughout these countries.

Diabetes and Alkaline Water

Posted by admin on September 12, 2008
Acid/Alkaline, Diabetes, Water / No Comments

Below is a peer-reviewed scientific study showing a link between decreased risk of diabetes and drinking alkaline, ionized water.
But first some very sobering figures released at end of June, 2008.

Why is it that with all the money we spend on new drugs and medical traeatments, the USA has by far the highest percentage of diabetics in the world?

It is now estimated that nearly 24 Million Have Diabetes and at least 57 million have prediabetes.
That’s according to the CDC’s latest diabetes statistics.

The figures show a steep rise in the number of people with diabetes – up by more than 3 million people in about two years, notes Ann Albright, PhD, RD, director of the CDC’s division of diabetes translation.
There are also now about 186,300 youths younger than 20 with diabetes.

"It’s very important that people understand how serious this disease is and that this growth in this epidemic is very, very concerning, particularly those new cases," Albright says. "We’re hopeful that these data will shine a light and remind people that we must do more in diabetes prevention and control."

Researchers reported last year that type 2 diabetes hastens heart disease and shortens lives by about eight years. Albright says that the main reason is the rise in overweight and obesity - "That is certainly a strong factor in the development of type 2 diabetes," the most common type of diabetes in adults.

And what is the main resson for this rapid rise in overweight and obesity?
Without doubt it is largely due to the high consumption of acidic fast foods and soft drinks. As Dr. Baroody says, your excess fat is saving your life as your body tries to store acidic toxins in fatty tissue away from your vital organs.

Now you can get Real water Concentrate - Alkaline, Ionized Real Water

The Real Water Club has Real Water Concentrate for $40 or so a month. Imagine drinking ionized alkaline water WITHOUT having to spend $4000 or more on an ionizer machine that sits on your counter. One of the benefits is that the Real Water Concentrate comes in a 4 ounce dropper bottle. SO portable. So Convenient!

Alkaline-reduced water (ARW) is known to exert several anti-cancer effects, as well as to scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduce blood-glucose levels. This study was performed in order to determine the effects of ARW on the control of spontaneous diabetes in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats.

We assigned 16 male OLETF rats (4 wk) to two groups: an experimental group, which was given ARW, and a control group, which received laboratory tap water. From week 6 to 32, the body weight, lipid composition, and glucose levels in the blood of the rats were measured. The glucose levels of both groups tended to increase. However, the ARW group’s glucose levels were significantly lower than those of the control group after 12 weeks (p below 0.05).

The total cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the ARW group were found to be significantly lower than those of the control group during the experimental period. These results suggest that ARW spurred the growth of OLETF rats during the growth stage, and that long-term ingestion of ARW resulted in a reduction in the levels of glucose, triglycerides, and total cholesterol in the blood.

Are You Chronically Dehydrated?

Posted by admin on September 11, 2008
The Real Water Club, Water / No Comments

The Dangers of Chronic Dehydration

By Albert Grazia, M.S., N.D.

Could you be chronically dehydrated ? Many people are and never realize it. Our bodies require at least eight glasses of water per day, more during exercise, illness, and hot weather. People often think that even if they don’t actually drink water, they are getting enough by drinking coffee, tea, soft drinks, juice or beer. The truth is that many of these beverages have a diuretic effect, encouraging the body to excrete water through urination, rather than retaining it. Think about a grape versus a raisin. The one is plump and full and juicy, containing all its natural water. The other is small, dry, shriveled, its water gone. Although a grape in dehydrated condition is still a good and useful fruit, the human body when dehydrated does not function at its best and may be at risk for many ailments.

The body is composed of nearly 75% water, and water is required for many of its essential functions. Water is utilized as a solvent. It also provides a means to transport nutrients, hormones and other elements. It is used to produce hydroelectric energy, especially in the brain. It is essential for maintaining cell structure. Water is also necessary to maintain a lower serum viscosity that enables proteins and enzymes to function more efficiently. Chronic dehydration can lead to a loss or decease in these functions and may ultimately result in disease or can exacerbate an existing condition. Contrary to popular belief, dry mouth or thirst is not the first sign of dehydration.

All life began in water; even the developing fetus is surrounded by water. When the body is deprived of water, a water rationing system takes effect. Histamine, a neurotransmitter becomes active and redistributes water throughout the body. The order of circulatory priority is the brain, lungs, liver, kidneys, and glands, then comes the muscles, bones and skin. During periods of dehydration, histamine insures that these vital organs have enough water to function properly. If enough water is not supplied, it must be taken from within the body. Chronic dehydration can cause histamine to become excessively active. This may result in symptoms that may be mistaken for other disorders such as allergies, asthma, dyspepsia, colitis, constipation, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic pains in various parts of the body such as migraine headaches.

Dyspeptic pain, which can range from simple heartburn to gastro-esophageal reflux disorder (GERD), may be one of the early signs of dehydration. During the early digestive process when food enters the stomach, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is secreted to activate the enzymes to breakdown the proteins found in meat and dairy. The acidic contents of the stomach, called chyme, is then pumped into the small intestine by passing through a valve, called the pyloric sphincter. This acid chyme must be neutralized before it damages the intestinal lining. The pancreas is responsible for secreting the bicarbonate ions to neutralize the acid. A large amount of water is required to produce this bicarbonate solution. If sufficient water is not available, the digestive process may be delayed and food may remain in the stomach longer than necessary. Over a period of time, the stomach acid may rise and if allowed to enter the esophagus, will produce the sensation known as heartburn. Ideally, water should be taken 30 minutes before meals, during meals, and again two hours after eating.

Another possible complication of dehydration is joint pain. The cartilage in your body, including your joints, is composed mainly of water. As cartilage surfaces glide over one another, some exposed cells become worn and peel away. New cartilage is normally produced to replace the damaged cells. Due to the lack of blood vessels in cartilage, water is needed to transport the nutrients required for maintenance and repair. Dehydration may increase the abrasive damage and delay its repair, resulting in joint pain.

Asthma and allergies can be another indication that the body has increased production of histamine. During chronic dehydration, the body will attempt to conserve water by preventing unnecessary water loss. A large amount of water is normally lost from the lungs as water vapor through expired air. Histamine, which also controls bronchial muscle contractions, may attempt to restrict water loss through expiration by constricting the bronchial muscles.

Another complication of dehydration can be constipation. When water is in short supply in the body, the colon will act to restrict unnecessary water loss through the stools. Colon muscles will contract to squeeze out and subsequently reabsorb water back into circulation. This can result in harder stools that are not only more difficult to pass, but may also irritate and weaken the walls of the colon, resulting in small pockets known as diverticuli. Since the water that the colon reabsorbs back into circulation is not filtered water, but wastewater, it must then be filtered by the liver and the kidneys. This may place additional strain on these overworked organs.

Depression may be another complication of chronic dehydration. The amino acid tryptophan is required by the brain to produce the neurotransmitter serotonin, which subsequently is needed to make melatonin. An adequate amount of water is required for tryptophan to be transported into the brain. Dehydration may limit the amount of tryptophan available to the brain and to complicate matters, the histamine levels may actually stimulate tryptophan’s breakdown in the liver.

Most of the body’s water is found within the cells, and the next largest amount is in the fluid surrounding the cells. If water is not replaced frequently, this surrounding fluid may continue to accumulate waste material and other contaminates. The pumps in your cell membranes may not work as efficiently because allowing dirty water into the cell can cause cellular damage or cell death. You wouldn’t bathe in the same bath water without first cleaning the tub and adding fresh water. Why would you allow your cells to be surrounded by waste material?

In conclusion, water is vital to good health and there is no substitute for water. However, years of chronic dehydration can not be reversed overnight by simply drinking a couple of glasses of water. Rather water intake should be gradually increased. How do you know if you’re drinking enough water? Your urine should be clear or lightly colored. A darker colored urine may be an indication that your kidneys are working hard to concentrate the urine.

Of course, under no circumstances should anyone discontinue taking any prescription medications without the close supervision of their physician.

Are Water Ionizer Products a Scam?

Posted by admin on September 11, 2008
Acid/Alkaline, Cancer, Ionized Water / 6 Comments

There is a lot of controversy these days over alkaline water, ionizers, and if they really do what they say they do. I want to produce the opposing view point and comment at the end. Here is a quote from well known Dr Weil (who makes a fantastic living n the internet selling his own products!).

Does Alkaline Water Promote Health? Manufacturers of water ionizers state that their products produce more alkaline water, which allows your body to better absorb minerals and antioxidants from water. Are these health claims real? Do you recommend ionizers?

Home water ionizers, which I’ve seen offered for sale on the internet, are just the latest twist in the ongoing effort to promote the notion that alkaline water is somehow protective of your health. The underlying idea is that you can prevent disease by balancing your body’s pH. Promoters claim that alkaline water is energizing, hydrates the body more effectively than regular water, improves the taste of food when used in cooking, promotes "regularity," helps the body absorb nutrients more effectively, and on and on. I’ve even seen claims that it can cure everything from obesity and high blood pressure to breast cancer.

None of these claims are true. Furthermore, your body needs absolutely no help in adjusting its pH. Normally, the pH of blood and most body fluids is near seven, which is close to neutral. This is under very tight biological control because all of the chemical reactions that maintain life depend on it. Unless you have serious respiratory or kidney problems, body pH will remain in balance no matter what you eat or drink. As for water, you should consider the fact that alkaline water is common throughout the western states but to my knowledge it has not protected anyone from the diseases and disorders that occur elsewhere in the U.S.

The health claims for water ionizers and for alkaline water are bogus. Save your money.

Andrew Weil, M.D.

So are health claims for ionizers and alkaline water bogus? Dr Weil doesn’t give a reason for stating that health benefits are bogus so it is difficult to address his assertion.

I can, however, address the "your body needs no help adjusting its pH" claim.

Let us look at this rationally. Your body DOES have an intricate system that maintains the internal pH of your body. What happens if you continuously stress that system?

We already know that there is acidity in our outside environment. (Think Acid Rain) Acid rain is caused from chemicals, pollutants and a number of other materials both manmade and natural (volcanic ash). The air we breath is acidic for the same reasons. The food we eat (processed and pesticide/herbicide treated) are often acidic.

So we breathe, eat and drink compounds that are already acidic or create acidity once in our bodies. Our body must work very very hard to combat these toxins and poisons and it is not adapted to that through evolution yet. When it gets overcome with poisons (which cause acidity) then disease occurs. Now what about in the meantime… before our body shows signs of over toxicity by way of disease, our body is working overtime to maintain a pH of around 7. It has a number of controls (buffers) that allow it to do this.

Do you think that if you removed some of the exposures to acid inducing pollutants, detoxified the body of heavy metals and toxins, and drank alkaline, oxygenated water instead of acid rain… do you think that there would be LESS burden on this delicate buffering system. IF there was less burden on this buffering system, does it make sense that it would last longer and continue to be able to maintain a safe and healthy pH?

To say that this system needs no help to maintain body pH is ludicrous. DEATH occurs when this system fails without help. This is a typical doctor answer though. I mean the body has a very intricate system of maintaining blood sugar too doesn’t it? UNTIL it fails… and then diabetes results. But you can help THAT system and even prevent diabetes type 2. ALL body systems can be ‘helped’ to prevent overload and reduce stress on the system, thus giving the system longer life. But if Dr Weil wants us to continue drinking acid rain, it certainly does help him sell his supplements and gives him people to write prescriptions for.

I believe Real Water - alkaline, ionized real water - is a MUCH healthier alternative to drinking Acid Rain. Does Dr Weil REALLY disagree with that? How could he?

Do I sell it? Absolutely! But at $40 a month it’s a lot cheaper than the hospital care you receive from the guy who told you to ignore the ’scam’ and drink acid rain instead!

What Mike Adams Thinks of Ionized Water.

Acid/Alkaline, Ionized Water / No Comments

(NaturalNews) Drinking water with higher alkalinity is good for your health, according to Toronto-based Clearlight Holistics, which makes water ionizers and other holistic health products. Research from scientists supports this argument, but there is some dissent regarding the effectiveness of ionizing water, according to the web site Wikipedia.com.

What you need to know - Conventional View

• A water ionizer electrically separates the acidic and alkaline elements of water and then removes the acidic parts from your drinking water.

• Studies have correlated that water ionization used in Asia has increased the lifespan of people in Japan and South Korea.

• Ionized water offers a high level of helpful antioxidants, medical studies have shown.

• There are many manufacturers of water ionizers to give you more healthful water from your tap.

• Ionizing your water can offset the effects of a heavily-acidic diet of processed foods, the company says. These foods have high acidic levels that are neutralized by ionized water.

• Dentists have suggested for years that neutralizing the acidic qualities of saliva can help prevent cavities from forming.

• "A balanced pH will help prevent illness, so it is very important for your level not to be too acidic. Ionized water, since it is very alkaline, dissolves accumulated acid waste and returns the body to a balance. Keeping ourselves alkaline is the first line of defense in fighting any disease," states Matt Condie, a holistic health advocate and owner of Clearlight Holistics, in a press release.

Statements and opinions by Mike Adams

• The diet of most people is too acidic. This leads to a loss of bone mineral density and can even lead to a diagnosis of osteoporosis.

• However, drinking alkaline water can also weaken stomach acid and reduce the absorption of dietary minerals. Alkaline water should never be consumed with mineral supplements or foods requiring strong acidic breakdown (such as raw foods).

• There are many other strategies for alkalizing the body: drinking fresh vegetable juices (from a juicer or blender), eliminating refined sugars from the diet and avoiding coffee and sodas. Soft drinks are highly acidic because they contain phosphoric acid.
