"I
have administered over 5000 gallons of this water for about every
health situation imaginable. I feel that restructured alkaline water
can benefit everyone."
"After
years of very positive continuous clinical experiment that I am
conducting with hundreds of clients using electronically restructured
alkaline water, it is my opinion that this technology will change the
way in which all health providers and the public will approach their
health in the coming years.

"Alkaline
water rids the body of acid waste... After carefully evaluating the
results of my advice to hundreds of individuals, I'm convinced that
toxicity in the form of acidic waste is the primary cause of
degenerative disease."
~Dr Sherry Rogers
Dr. Susan Lark
University lecturer and author of The Chemistry Of Success, says:
“Drinking four to six glasses of alkaline water a day will help
to neutralize over acidity and over time will help to restore your
buffering ability. Alkaline water should be used when conditions of
over acidity develop, such as cold, flu or bronchitis. Like vitamins C,
E and Beta Carotene, alkaline water acts as an antioxidant because of
its excess supply of free electrons.”
Daniel Reid,
Author of The Tao of Detox says:
"Drinking
alkaline water is a great way to neutralize and flush out all of the
toxins and acids that drain from the tissues and bodily fluids, and to
quickly rehydrate the body and keep the blood alkaline." Click here for 2 1/2 hr interview.
David Niven Miller,
anti-aging expert and author of 'Grow Youthful',
“Increasing
your consumption of good quality tap water or filtered water can
transform your health and play a central role in the healing of
virtually all degenerative diseases. However, alkaline water has
profound long-term effects because it alkalizes your body and provides
and effective antioxidant."

“You
do not need expensive medicine with all the negative side effects to
regain health. Alkaline water has profound long term effects becasue it
alkalizes your body and provides an effective antioxidant”.
"Concerning
water pH. perhaps it can best be explained by understanding that the
greatest malady of disease is hyperacidity. Rarely, if ever, does an
individual suffer from a chronic alkalosis. This condition only
manifests following a trauma, injury or other acute scenario. Dr Robert C. Greenberg Ph.D., D.C.,

Author, Reverse Aging
"Here is the simple process of aging. Every living cell within our body
creates waste products. The nutrients from our food are delivered to
each cell and they burn with oxygen to provide energy for us to live.
The burned nutrients are the waste products. The food that is either
good or bad for you is determined by the amount and quality of the
wastes produced: toxic, acid, alkaline, etc. Most of our cells go
through metabolism and old dead cells become waste products. "
"These waste products must be discharged from our body. In fact, our
body tries its best to dispose of them through urine and perspiration.
Virtually all waste products are acidic; that is why urine is acidic
and skin surface is also acidic. The problem is that, due to several
reasons, our body cannot get rid of 100% of the waste products it
produces. "
"The main reason for this is our lifestyle. We stay up late and get up
early. We do not take time to rest; some of us work more than one job.
We, therefore, spend more time producing waste products than processing
them. "
Dr. Robert O. Young, PhD,
in his book, The pH Miracle says it this way:
“Those willing to look again, and with clear eyes, will be
rewarded with the secrets to permanent health. We can heal ourselves by
changing the environment inside our bodies. Potentially harmful
invaders, then, will have nowhere to grow and will become
harmless.”
DrHidemitsu Hayashi
Director of the Water Institute, Tokyo,
says that bad
diets such as meat and potatoes, fried foods, soft drink colas, and
sugars build up acid salts in the body. Often these deposits, by having
to be stored away from the blood flow, can remain in the body for
decades. .
Dr Howard Hay (1930)
"...people with more acidic
blood were more likely to be ill. He defined a pH range of 7.4 to 7.5
to be associated with good health. When foods are metabolized, acids
are produced which are neutralized by the alkaline salts (carbonates)
of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium. Foods containing chlorine,
phosphorous, sulfur and nitrogen, animal products and refined
carbohydrates tend to be acid forming."
Celia Wright
"The Wright Diet",
"...the
over-acid person as being grouchy, sensitive, exhausted, inclined to
aches and pains, headaches, and problems with sleeping and acidity of
the stomach. Smokers have been found to have a high acid content in
their urine. Cravings appear to be reduced on a more alkaline diet."
Dr Arthur M. Ecano, MD
says that..
”if the
world has accepted antioxidants to slow down the aging process, it
should readily agree to the uses of ionized alkaline water as an
antiaging agent. Their roles are closely linked and intertwined such
that a lasting antiaging program is incomplete without addressing both
free radicals and organic acid wastes.”
It's obviously good to know whether you need to alkalise before making your decision
to invest in alkaline balancing systems.
Although the vast majority of Westerners are overloaded with acid waste, there are a
very few who are not. This is as much a hereditary predisposition as
anything, yet drinking alkaline water and following an alkaline diet as
suggested here may not sustain their need for the balancing effects of
acid food.
In her excellent book The Chemistry of Success
Dr Susan M. Lark MD says that understanding the importance of your pH
balance will lead you to the realisation that peak performance and
general health are intimately related, and that robust health is
essential if you want to meet your goals in life.
Dr Lark lists the benefits of maintaining a
healthful state of alkalinity:
Peak performance benefits

Note: According to Dr Lark, the results you get show tendencies,
not necessarily actualities.
Look at them in relation to how you feel -and make your own decision.
There are ample
markers here for your to self-assess with reasonable accuracy, but
without expert medical advice you cannot rule our a pre-existing health
condition that may be causing the trend you see in this test.
Between the ages of thirty and fifty
at least several of your vital chemical/metabolic functions cease
operating at peak efficiency due to acumulative effects of the wear and
tear of daily life. It’s rare to have only one symptom; you will
almost always identify a number of markers in the above test, if not a
breakdown in several areas.
Symptom variations are limitless.
A fifty year old man may have a high frequency of allergy symptoms, low
libido and high blood pressure. His female partner on the same diet may
have digestion problems, an overly acid stomach, increasing fatigue,
hot flushes and other transitional menopausal symptoms.
It’s important to understand that change has to occur
holistically rather than symptom-by-symptom. We need to change the way
our body functions at its most basic level rather than find yet another
antidote for the latest symptom, which may just be another
manifestation of pH imbalance.
This is why alkaline water is so effective; with water comprising
60-70% of a middle aged body, changing water pH has the ability to
reduce acidity almost immediately. The advantage of using an
ION LIFE alkalizing water ionizer is that you always have the
choice of alkalinity level and ordinary filtered H2O, so you can use
the alkalizer as a complete balancing tool. An extended acid-producing
activity (excess work or physical activity, stress etc) can be
responded to immediately.
If you are a natural alkaline producer
we do not recommend the use of a water alkalizer. In fact you will most
probably need acid-producing foods and liquids to maintain your own
optimum pH balance.
Of course it’s very important to consult with your physician
about any change you are contemplating and this is no exception.
