alkaline water

[Guest guest]

Hi Lynn-

After a lot of research, I decided to go with a counter top filter and

bought the Cuzn CT-101S from NEEDS with the upgraded particulate filter and

have been very happy with it.

Also, one resource to read about water ionizers:

http://www.hightechhealth.com/pages/homewat.html

Also, one of our fellow list members posted this site...lots of good info:

I agree. I saw a 20/20 show recently that showed that some bottled water comes

right out of the Detroit river! I live too close to the Detroit River to be

comfortable with that info!

But we must have our water. So use caution, read labels, etc. We are such an

overly dehydrated society. Drinking sufficient amounts of water would eliminate

many of the medical problems most of us have.

I recommend 2 and 1/2 quarts a day. I find that easier than counting out eight 8

oz. glasses. If you are trying to lose weight, drink an additional 8 oz. of

water a day for every 25 pounds you wish to lose.

I challenge all of you to drink 2 and 1/2 quarts of water a day. Then come back

here in two weeks and tell us how you feel! Trust me, you will love me for

throwing out this friendly challenge when you're feeling great.

Blessings,

Hellooo! I believe that the concept is that you wanna neutralize the

body...

You want your stomach around 7.35-7.45 ph (basically neutral or 7)

if 1=acid and 14=alkaline

Baking soda and water works well... 1/2 teaspoon in 4-8 ounces of

water.. depending on taste - around 3 times a day

Or drinking distilled water is also good. Really, distilled water is

so good for you, that you should make it your only water.

Many people say that cancer can't survive in an alkaline body. I

believe so to....

Do you have cancer, Alan? Maybe you could try it.

The only thing I know for sure is,

water + baking soda -or- distilled water

won't hurt you.

It is in fact good for you!

distilled water sucks the vitamins out of your body..

Just a few of ideas about alkaline water:

With regard to " keeping the stomach at 7.35-7.45 " there is no way,

except with some extraordinarily invasive procedure, to measure the

pH of the stomach. But more importantly, the stomach is going to stay

at 7.35-7.45 anyway, because that is the jealously guarded pH the

body maintains for all parts of itself.

With regard to " the higher the pH the better, " I have had naturopaths

tell me that my salivary pH is too high---(7.8-7.9)There are various

opinions about this.

But I do not worry about my pH because whatever it is, I have

achieved it naturally, through diet, supplements, plenty of purified

water, low stress and regular moderate exercise.

With regard to the " dangers of distilled water, " and " distilled water

sucking the minerals/vitamins out of one's body, that is very

debatable/unproven, and by adding 1/4 tsp of baking soda to a gallon

of distilled water, one alkalizes it and there is no longer any such

danger.

Finally, with regard to " Masuro Emoto, " his so-called findings are

again something that I would only believe if I actually saw him do

such research and produce such results right in front of my eyes.

Think about it--- he claims that writing " Adolph Hitler " or " I hate

you " on a jar of water changes the molecular structure of the water??

In my opinion, no one should take such supposed findings at face

value without checking them very, very carefully. A book of

photographs and some words on the printed page are not nearly enough.

Just my opinion,

Elliot

I think that a prayer over water makes it holy water..would be interesting to

subject it to a test.

Forgot to say this:

My opinion is that the oft-spoken phrase, " Cancer cannot exist in an

alkaline body " is quite wrong.

First of all, the body IS and HAS TO BE alkaline. (7.35-7.45) A

person would die if his body was not alkaline. So everyone who gets

cancer gets it when his/her body IS alkaline.

Secondly, when the tumor in my neck and jaw was growing day-by-day, I

got my salivary pH up to 8, but the tumor just kept growing.

I suspect there are plenty of people who have gotten their

salivary/urinary pH to be very alkaline, but who have experienced no

diminution of cancer.

Let's think about such assertions carefully before passing them on.

They can cause people with cancer to go down wrong and even dangerous

rabbit trails, instead of doing intelligent, determined, milder

things, such as Budwig/Gerson, drinking lots of water, moderate

exercise, good supplements like chlorella, spirulina, blue-green

algae, alfalfa, selenium, curcumin, vitamin D3, etc, destressing

fresh air, sunshine and so forth.

Best of health,

Elliot

Hi Chuck,

I don't recall Cayce ever recommending such gimmicks as alkaline water.

There were times he did recommend distilled, but I suspect that may have

been because the source of water of the person seeking the reading may have

not been very good. To my knowledge, he did recommend spring water the

most. As for a very expensive device to make alkaline water, I'd recommend

doing a cost-benefit analysis and I'd really dig for some real research on

it. One thing that springs to mind as a word of caution would be that

stomach acid should be a pH of 2. Drinking an " alkaline " water throughout

the day might alter that.

Cheers,

Robin

Hey, has anyone heard of or had any experience with " alkaline water " . I

think it's called kangun water or something like that. I was just wonde

ring. A friend is thinking of buying one of the things and I don't want

her to get ripped off as the machine goes for about four thousand dollars.

Is it a Cayce thing? Thx chuck

The host of my ARE study group just got one this week. I can ask him about it if you like. It appears to be able to make different Ph water, from 9.5 to 5.5 or so. You just press the button at the Ph you want and then turn on the faucet (it attaches to the faucet like a regular water filter.)I'll post more info after I see him (group meets Tuesdays.) Any other specific questions you want me to ask him?ToniFrom: chuck martin <chuckmartin49@...>Subject: alkaline water Date: Monday, May 18, 2009, 9:57 PM

[Guest guest]

Hi Chuck, I tasted the 9.0 (or 9.5, don't remember) water and it tasted delicious! Our host Clarence had done a presentation on his water machine but I wasn't there that week. So I'm going to have to pull him aside to ask him about it (no biggie.) I will ask him what he paid for it and what Cayce says about alkaline water. Clarence says the acidic water is good for your skin, so who knows. He also said to drink a lot of it, at least a quart and a half a day, that's about 6 cups. Anyway I trust his knowledge, he is in his late 80s and has been studying Cayce (esp. the treatments) for quite some time. I'm thinking perhaps this may be a different machine though? Maybe I will take a pic of it just to clarify which is which for your friend. I don't know anything about the alkaline diet, except that there is a book on it in the ARE catalog. Will

write/post soon, ToniFrom: chuck martin <chuckmartin49@...>Subject: (unknown) Date: Saturday, May 23, 2009, 10:05 PM

Thanks Toni! I was just wondering what the story was on it, like does it really help to drink it? I tasted some and it tasted like it had baking soda in it. I just don't want to see my friend get suckered. Plus she said you have to drink a lot of it. Didn't Cayce say somewhere that if we eat an alkaline diet that we wouldn't get colds? What is an alkaline diet? Hope it's not all vegetables.. ..-chuck

I believe alkaline water is mainly a marketing ploy, not scientific. It changes

your urine ph temporarily, not your blood. pH is a constantly moving number

depending on so many things. To promote an alkaline state, you should stay away

from acidic foods although every human is different. For some, it's actually

dangerous to become too alkaline. Check out " eating right for your blood type " .

I researched alkaline water for years. At the time I was doing it- there was no

scientific evidence, anywhere, that alkaline water has health benefits. The

quality is very questionable as far as contaminants ( I didn't consider that a

good trade off). For full disclosure, I will say that I was in the bottled water

industry for 10 years. I had some cancer customers switch to alkaline water,

most came back to us because of our high level of purity(steam distilled- ph is

neutral). I still drink the water, just not working there anymore. You can add

products to pure water

to make it alkaline.

I have asked more than one Physician about your body and Alkaline Water.

They all say " yes " . The Alkaline Water consumption is not a promotion, it

is a good health practice. I know more than one Doctor who is a consumer of

Alkaline Water.

I only here negative comments from individuals who are from industries that

are on the opposite side of the issue because this knowledge hurt there

bottom line. They don't care about your health, they only care about there

Bottom Line. Even Doctors have this information, but they don't make it a

point to share it with their patients.

The Japanese call Bottle Water Dead Water.

I use a Japanese Medical Device that produces 5 versions of Alkaline Water

ranging from 2 ph level- 11 ph level. Not all for drinking.

Take a look at the World Life Longevity List

http://longevity.about.com/od/researchandmedicine/p/lifeexpectancy.htm See

where the Japanese

and the US rank.

Dr, Otto Walberg got a Noble Peace Prize (1931) for discovering that

diseases can't survive in an Alkaline Environment, including Cancer..This

sounds pretty scientific to me.

I will send more info if you like...

alkaline water ionizers create high ph water by first and foremost adding sea

salt to the water or at least using hard water to begin the process. Ionizer

will break the water into 2 components in 2 chambers: high ph water chamber is

water that has very minute amounts of sodium hydroxide (lye) and low ph chamber

is water with minute amounts of sodium hypochlorite. These are the products of

ionization of tap water. Very expensive process when all you really need to do

is add 50 mg of lye to a gallon of water to increase ph to 9. Thats'

50 milligrams!!

Has anyone ever tried ionized water (alkaline)... it is supposed to help with

viral/ immune system...

I'm just wondering if anyone has any info, bad or good. Are they just a scam,

has any one tried them and have first hand experience to report.

thanks

It's a scam. Invest in a water purifier instead
