POSSIBLY THE MOST IMPORTANT HEALTH
ADVANCE OF THE 20TH CENTURY! |
WHAT IS WATER? |
The nature of water, the understanding of its functions, is far
more difficult that you might imagine. |
Water is a solvent; that is, it is composed of the basic H2O,
two parts of hydrogen to one oxygen. |
That is its solvent quality. It also carries solutes, invisible
ingredients like minerals and nutrients and waste products. For
example, blood is a solute form of water, with 90% of its makeup
being water. |
If water is treated by a magnetic or electric field, its surface
tension, which is measured in dynes, and some of of its other
structural activities will tend to remain as is. Thus water has
memory, which is measured with nuc nuclear magnetic resonance
technology. |
Water has different structures. Its two hydrogen atoms do not
circle its oxygen at a 180 degree angle, but at a 105.5 degree
angle, when it is in liquid form, and at a 109.5 degree angle,
when it takes the form of ice. Thus solid water, possessing a
more open structure than when liquid, has a lower density, and
will float in liquid Water. |
|
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 snowpacks, 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. |
