Why You Need It & Uses of pH Water

OUR BODIES WERE DESIGNED TO BE HEALTHY slender and energetic. We were intended to have smooth, supple skin and a quick, alert mind. Instead we are overweight - tired and sluggish. WHY?

Robert O. Young, Ph.D. and Shelley Redford Young co-authors of "The pH Miracle", a Time/Warner publication, explain their theories through The New Biology

The New Biology
According to Dr. Robert O. Young's book, "Sick and Tired", the New Biology , most simply stated, is that the over-acidification of the body is the single underlying cause of all disease. Dr. Young has found that when the body is in healthy alkaline balance, germs are unable to get a foothold.

Think of your body as a fish tank. Think of the importance of maintaining the integrity of the internal fluids of the body that we "swim" in daily. Imagine the cells in your body are fish and they are swimming in the fluids of your body. Most of us are polluting our fish tanks (bodies) with junk food, smoking, over consumption of acid-forming foods, and any number of transgressions which compromise the delicate balance of our internal alkaline fluids.

Some of us have fish tanks (bodies) that are barely able to support life, yet we somehow manage to struggle from day to day, building more severe imbalances. Indeed, the entire metabolic process depends on a balanced internal alkaline environment. A chronically over-acidic pH corrodes body tissue, slowly eating into the 60,000 miles of veins and arteries like acid eating into marble.

If left unchecked, it will interrupt all cellular activities and functions, from the beating of your heart to the neural firing of your brain. In summary, over-acidification interferes with life itself leading to all sickness, disease and unhealthy conditions such as obesity.

The Truth about Acidity: The Acid Problem

• Acidity & Inflammation: Did you know inflammation can be a good thing? Acute inflammation is the body’s natural response to begin the healing cycle. When completed, the immune system returns to normal functions. However, chronic inflammation can be extremely harmful to your health.
• Chronic Inflammation: This malfunction of the immune system occurs when the body produces excessive pro-inflammatory agents that work unchecked by the immune system. This condition leads to a chronic state of low-grade metabolic acidosis and eventually, inflammatory related diseases.
• Inflammation Related Diseases: Allergies, Alzheimer’s, Anemia, Arthritis, Cancer, Congestive Heart Failure, Fibromyalgia, Fibrosis, Heart Attack, Kidney failure, Lupus, Pancreatitis, Psoriasis, Stroke.

• Acidity & Lyme Disease: Lyme disease is initially brought on by an infection of pathogenic bacteria called Borrelia burgdorferi. This bacteria is usually spread by a bite from an infected deer tick. They burrow into the skin transmitting the harmful bacteria to their new victims.
• Lyme disease is a set of symptoms surrounding an acidic inflammation caused by an abundance of the bacteria, B. burdorferi. This is an acid loving bacterium; therefore “alkalizing” your internal environment is a helpful step toward improved health and a solution for becoming disease free.

• Acidity & The Colon: The typical American diet includes processed foods, red meat, soda, coffee, and sugar. This overly acidic diet, in addition to polluted air, toxic water and stress, has harmful effects on the colon. The average American has ten pounds of undigested food in their colon at any given time! In addition, an unhealthy digestive system impacted with mucus, toxins, and impacted waste can trigger a host of health issues such as: body odor, Candida (yeast infection), parasites, foul breath, lack of energy, mood swings, weak immune system, weight problems, backaches, bloating, and constipation.

• Acidity & The Heart: The blood must stay within a narrow range of pH (acid and alkaline levels) in order to function correctly and carry oxygen. In order to do this, our blood takes liquid acids and changes them into undissolved solid forms: cholesterol and crystallized uric acid. Cholesterol is used to line the walls of your blood vessels to protect them from structural damage caused by strong acids in the blood. These are the result of a typical acidic diet. Over time, the protective cholesterol begins to build up excessively and clogs the arteries. This leads to high blood pressure and an overstrained heart. Furthermore, the crystallized uric acid leads to gout.
• “Dr. Kancho Kuminaka, one of the pioneers of the alkaline water treatment in Japan, states that virtually without exception, the patients with high blood pressure have an acidosis condition,” said Sang Wang in his 1990 book Reverse Aging.

• Acidity & Diabetes: In a healthy, alkaline body, special cells in the pancreas called beta cells produce insulin, which is used to bring sugar from the blood into hungry living cells. A healthy balance of sugar and insulin must be maintained in the blood at all times. Having too much of either for too long can lead to diabetes. Dr. Hidemitsu Hayashi said, “Diabetes is believed to be caused by insufficient secretions of insulin from beta cells in the pancreas. In modern medical science, an active enzyme called a free radical is said to be involved in insufficient secretions of insulin. (Alkaline water) releases free radicals out of the body.”

• Acidity & Weight Loss: “You are not over weight, You are Over-Acid,” claims Dr. Robert O. Young.
• The truth is …. Fat is saving your life! In a healthy alkaline body, acidic waste is flushed from the system as it accumulates. If the acid isn’t removed fast enough, it builds up and forces the body to protect itself in different ways – The most obvious being the productions of FAT.
• Our bodies are literally swimming in a toxic acid waste. The body either utilizes fat cells or uses fat from the food we eat to capture those toxins and store them away from our vital organs. So that persistent and annoying fat on our hips and thighs and around our bellies is actually a part of a larger survival mechanism! Quite simply, the more acidic your lifestyle becomes, the more fat must be utilized to keep you alive.

• Acidity & Acid Reflux: Roughly 7 million people in the United States suffer from some degree of acid reflux, or GERD (gastro esophageal reflux disorder). Excessive consumption of acidic foods and drinks, stress, prevents the body from producing enough alkaline buffers in the blood to neutralize the effects. The left over acid can damage the esophagus, larynx, and digestive tract, and can even lead to cancer of the esophagus. The production of stomach acid (HCl) is a very important part of the digestion cycle, but the stomach produces far more acid in a day than it can hold. HCl is only produced when the body is digesting food, but before contents of the stomach can continue through the digestive tract, that acid must be neutralized.

USES OF ACIDIC IONIZED WATER

2.7 pH and Below Not safe for drinking!
Disinfecting and deodorizing effects: Kills all known bacteria and germs on contact. Sanitize meat and food products, knives and cutting boards in the kitchen, surfaces in the bathroom, toothbrushes, trash cans and diaper pails. Can be used as a mouthwash or to disinfect hands. For a more powerful disinfecting effect, clean with a high pH water before using the low pH water. Because of the strong acidity, metal that rusts easily should be wiped with a dry cloth.

4.0 – 6.0 pH Not safe for drinking!
Face wash – Astringent to tone & firm the skin. Good after shaving. Hair care – Use as a rinse for shine, detangling Bath water – Add acidic water to your bath to benefit skin and keep your tub free of bathtub rings. Pet care – Spray on your pet and brush to obtain soft, shiny fur. Rinse cycle – Add to the rinse cycle to soften clothes without chemicals Washing vegetables and fruits – Keep the vivid colors of strawberries, red cabbage, asparagus and eggplants. Frozen foods – Spray foods with acid water before freezing so that the food, including fish and shrimp, do not lose flavor when thawed Stains: To remove stains, grime and grease, soak in water 24 hours Dishes: Dishes and glasses come out sparkling clean Polishing: Polish mirrors, eyeglasses, glass and windows to a high sheen Housecleaning: Remove dirt from hardwood floors, ceramic tiles, etc., without leaving a sticky or toxic residue

USES OF NEUTRAL 7.0 pH IONIZED WATER

Clean water is delicious for drinking – free of chlorine, fluoride, rust, and cloudiness. Use 7.0 pH water when preparing baby food or taking medicines.

USES OF ALKALINE IONIZED WATER
Absorbing, dissolving and heat conducting benefits.

8.0 – 10.0 pH
Drinking: Start your day with 2-3 cups of alkaline water. Drink 2-3 liters throughout the day to decrease “free radicals”, inflammation, reverse aging and improve health by changing your constitution from acidic to slightly alkaline. Improves mineral levels, especially calcium. Food Preparation: Clean vegetables and fish. Improves the taste of coffee and tea. Improves the flavor of soups and stews. Plants: Use to water plants and flowers. Alkaline water extends the life and freshness of cut flowers and many plants. Alkaline water of 9.0 pH can restore the health of sick plants. Stimulates germination and improves seedling development. Animals: Your animals’ health will improve dramatically. Unpleasant body odor will decrease, as well as the odor of feces and urine.

11.0+ pH
Cleaning: Clean cutting boards and dish cloths. Good for cleaning oil and tough grime from vents, as well as for general cleaning in the kitchen. Stain removal: The extra strength absorption power will remove coffee, soy sauce and oil stains with ease. Great for removing stubborn toilet bowl stains. Dishes: Use less detergent when washing dishes. Saves water and detergent.

KNOW YOUR WATER’S pH

**ORP is Oxidation Reduction Potential and is equated to Anti-oxidant levels. A positive number adds to the highest amount oxidation inside the body. The negative number equates to the increased amount of anti-oxidant levels.

Most of the brand name water not only has all the problems associated with plastics and petrochemicals from the container (being ingested and stored in the body), but the water is put through a reverse osmosis system to make the taste consistent in the bottling process. This removes many of the alkaline minerals and leaving more of the acidic minerals (notice the pH chart above).
