Background: what is pH?

As we age, our bodies become acidic (<6.5) and we dehydrate

—water drops to only 50% of weight

At birth, water accounts for 80%of an infant’s body weight and the body’s pH is neutral (7.1-7.2)

America is dehydrated

• 1998 survey by Cornell Medical Center, NY– 75% of all Americans have symptoms of chronic dehydration– Even mild dehydration will slow metabolism as much as 3%– Dehydration is the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue– A mere 2% drop in hydration can cause fuzzy short-term

memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing– Thirst is often mistaken as hunger, leading to over-eating

• So, we should drink more water, right?

– WRONG!

Dehydration is a symptom

• Of a widespread problem in US: “acidosis”– Cannot be treated by drinking normal water

• Our cells and organs function best at a pH of 7.3-7.4 (neutral)– Most foods in our diet produce acidic wastes

– Acidifying foods: alcohol, meats, eggs, sugar, bread, pasta, rice, cheese, butter, coffee, sodas

Acidity is the real culprit

• In a healthy body, acidic wastes are neutralized or flushed away in sweat and urine

• But with the constant barrage of bad foods and liquids, the wastes accumulate– Dehydration occurs as we try to flush the wastes away,

robbing precious water from our cells and body fluids

• Drinking regular water won’t solve the problem– Tap water may be neutral, but won’t neutralize acidity– Bottled and purified waters are acidic (pH 4-6) and so are

sodas (pH 3), which worsen the problem

• And so, the acidic wastes accumulate

Acid Waste = Disease

• Acidosis is interpreted by our body as ‘starvation’, whichTriggers over-production of insulin in order to store

every spare calorieUltimately wears out insulin production → DiabetesLeads to over-storage in fat cells → Obesity

• In a vain attempt to neutralize the acid, we use up precious calcium reservesFrom Bones → osteoporosisFrom Teeth → decay, plaque, periodontal disease

Acid Waste = Disease

• In desperation, we try to store acidic wastes in:Arteries → cardiovascular diseases: high

cholesterol, blood pressure, heart attacks, strokeJoints → arthritis, goutFat cells → more obesityBrain → Alzheimer’s disease?Kidneys → kidney stones, kidney failureSkin → wrinkles, dryness, ageing

Acid Waste = Disease

• Our body waits patiently for pH balance to return, when it can rehydrate and slowly flush the waste away– But most of us stay acidic and don’t even know it– Eventually we get diseased and start taking pills

• Meanwhile, cells and organs function poorly and we prematurely age, waiting for diseases to set in and shorten our lives

Dr. Robert O. Young, PhDAuthor of The pH Miracle“…over-acidification interferes with life itself, leading to all sickness and disease!"

…there’s more

• Acidity dramatically reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen– Insufficient oxygen gets to tissues, further compromising cells and

organs• Acidity leads to accumulation of free radicals

– Dangerous oxidative chemicals that damage cells, organs and DNA, and eventually trigger cancer

• Cancer cells loves acidity and lack of oxygen– Triggered partly by free radical damage of DNA, cancer cells emerge

and thrive

Dr Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in the 1930s for his ground-breaking work on cancer, wherein he concluded that cancer cells thrive without oxygen and normal cells became cancerous when they lacked oxygen. In alkaline, oxygenated conditions their growth is suppressed.

…there’s hope

• Alkaline water can fix the acid problem, restoring pH and hydration– Neutralizes acidity, restoring neutral pH

– Promotes hydration

– Allows accumulated acid waste to be slowly cleared

• Alkaline water can eliminate free radicals– Loaded with powerful antioxidants that neutralize

free radicals

Sodas and Bottled Water Acidify

• Bottled “purified” water can be 100 times more acidic than the body’s optimum pH (7.4)

• Sodas are even worse: Up to 10,000 times more acidic

• Ionized Alkaline water counters acidity, restoring pH to optimum level

Sports drinks, soda and flavored waters contribute to acidity and acidosis related diseases

Alkaline Water has a high (alkaline) pH that counteracts acidity

Helps the body restore an optimum pH level, allowing the body to fight disease, as it was designed to do.

Alkalize, don’t Acidify

OPTIMUM pH 7.4

Dr. Hiromi Shinya, Chief of Endoscopy, Beth Israel Medical Center NYAuthor of The Enzyme Factor “…good water is water with strong de-oxidation qualities.”

Dr. Susan Lark, Stanford University LecturerAuthor of The Chemistry Of Success“…alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of its excess supply of free electrons.”

Summary

• Alkaline Water– Counters acidity and can treat ‘acidosis’

• Can eliminate acid waste build up that can lead to disease

– Re-hydrates and oxygenates cells and tissues for optimum function

• More energy, more alert, faster healing, weight loss etc

– Powerful antioxidant potential to stop the ravages of free radicals

• Can reduce the risk of organ damage and associated oxidative diseases
