Why we need to drink alkaline water....
Why
should we be concerned
about pH levels? Since most of the
body is water-based (50-60%), the pH level has profound effects on all
body chemistry,
health and disease. All regulatory
mechanisms (including breathing, circulation, digestion, hormonal
production) serve the
purpose of balancing pH, by removing
caustic metabolized acid residues from body tissues without damaging
living cells.
If
the pH deviates
too far to the acid side or too far
to the alkaline side, cells become poisoned by their own toxic waste and
die. Just as
acid rain can destroy a forest and
alkaline wastes can pollute a lake; an imbalanced pH corrodes all body
tissue, slowly eating
into the 60,000 miles of veins and
arteries like corrosives eating into marble. If left unchecked, an
imbalanced pH will interrupt
all cellular activities and
functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your
brain.
With
modern foods, it really
is not easy to obtain an alkaline
diet, in fact if one followed correct practice; one would be labeled a
fanatic or even a
nerd! Dr Theodore Baroody ND, Ph.D.,
who is a foremost authority on acidity of the body, has written a five
star book called
"Alkalize or Die," which is a must
read for those concerned with health and longevity. The newest concept
in drinking water
today is alkaline water.

Cancer
tumors cannot live in
alkaline water. All cancer patients
should be on alkaline water, and you and I should be drinking alkalized
water so our bodies
won't provide an environment for
cancer tumors to live.
Alkaline
water is fantastic
for insomnia and colic. The brain is
90% water and when it can't maintain that percentage it will pull water
from all other
parts of the body.
Salt, caffeine, nicotine, Valium, alcohol and sugar put your body out of balance.
If
we don't keep our blood
pH at 7.3 or above, death will
occur. In fact, death will occur if the blood pH goes below 7.
Urine
that has a strong odor
indicates an unhealthy body. If the
body is balanced there is no ammonia and protein in the urine. An over
acidic body causes
kidney stones and gall stones.
Cysts are the beginning of
tumors, which lead to cancer because minerals are deficient from that part of the body.
Cancer is a long period of
mineral deficiency caused by an over acid condition of the body.
Distilled water is neutral,
dead water, and has no minerals or charge.
We are aging too fast because
we are acidic and dehydrated!
Cause Of Cancer & pH
Herman Aihara, in his book entitled "Acid & Alkaline" states that:
If
the condition of our extra
cellular fluids, especially the
blood, becomes acidic, our physical condition will first manifest
tiredness, proneness to
catching colds, etc. When these
fluids become more acidic, our condition then manifests pains and
suffering such as headaches,
chest pains, stomach aches, etc.
According to Keiichi Morishita in his Hidden Truth of Cancer, If the
Blood develops a more
acidic condition, then our body
inevitably deposits these excess acidic substances in some area of the
body such so that the
blood will not be able to maintain
an alkaline condition which causes these areas such as the cells to
become acidic and lowers
in oxygen.
As
this tendency continues,
such areas increase in acidity and
some cells die; then these dead cells themselves turn into acids.
However, some other cells
may adapt in that environment. In
other words, instead of dying - as normal cells do in an acid
environment - some cells survive
by becoming abnormal cells. These
abnormal cells are called malignant cells. Malignant cells do not
correspond with brain
function nor with our own DNS memory
code.
Therefore, malignant cells
grow indefinitely and without order. This is cancer.
One
of the least understood
concepts of nutrition is
understanding what acid and alkaline balance is. The cells of the human
body depend on a balanced
acid-alkaline pH. If any fluids are
abnormal, digestive enzymes are rendered inactive, food does not digest
properly, and
allergic reactions can result. Food
bound microorganisms such as yeast, bacteria, parasites; molds, viruses,
etc. are liberated
in the body, which puts stress on
the immune system.
The
body is largely made up
of water, a medium which is
biologically useful in allowing nutrients, oxygen and bio-chemicals to
be transported from place
to place. This water-based medium
can have either acid or alkaline properties that are measured by a
graduated scale called
pH (for potential hydrogen), wherein
1.0 to 6.9 is considered acidic, 7.0 is neutral and 7.1 to 14.0 is
alkaline. The lower
the pH number, the greater the
acidity, and the higher the pH number, the greater the alkalinity.
Optimally, we want the fluids
in our bodies to have a neutral or
7.0-7.2 pH level. Under 5.3 you can not assimilate vitamins or minerals,
it must be above
6.4 for maximum utilization and
weight loss. Urine or saliva pH levels should be tested in A.M. prior to
eating, drinking,
or exercising.
