Alkaline-Ionized Water - Page 4 - Political Forum

We set out to answer this question by doing our do diligence on the internet to see what the medical profession had to say. After that, we spoke to some real doctors and received confirmation that disease thrives in an acidic environment. Pretty much across the board, medical professionals agree that it is better to be slightly alkaline than acidic.

Our researched led us to understand that just about every food and drink that you put in your mouth is acidic. There are a few exceptions such as raw vegetables and certain fish, but besides that almost everything else is acidic. We were shocked to find that even bottled water, distilled water and reverse osmosis water is acidic. The real kicker is that stress also makes us acidic, as well as the pollution in the air we breathe.

The challenge has been that up to now, only raw vegetables and certain fish could be eaten to maintain alkalinity. Normally we would wash that down with some supposedly healthy bottled water which would only drag us back into the acidic state. Our bodies are about 80% water, so modifying that water seems to be the most likely way to modify our PH levels.

Drinking water with a modified PH level from a water ionizer can modify our internal PH levels : This was a bit tricky because of all of the confusion with stomach acid. The argument was that once the alkaline water hits the acid in your stomach it was going to become acidic and lose any potential benefits. We spent many hours sorting through this, and we learned that there is something called “buffers” in your stomach that regulate all of the acid in your stomach. It is because of these buffers that everything is handled properly with regards to digestion. Because of the other benefits to alkalized water, there is plenty to be gain from it even with stomach acid coming into play.

There are many choices, and many great machines out there. Some of them took shortcuts in some areas, and some of them can’t even be categorized with others. Figure out what your needs are and make a decision on that instead of all of the smoke and mirrors that are being thrown at you.

body produces alot of things cholesteral for instance used for the brain however, when ever the body must over produce and product it must take it from somewhere else in the system. So you are helping to body, by taking some of the load off it's systems.

The body does have ways to cope with most things and try to nutralize itself. However at what cost. To take from one place to normalize another, meaning to steal from peter to pay paul does come at a cost to the overall system. This is common sence since the body only has so many resources that is why we eat and drink.
And if you overload any of the systems you might die.

All water that has not been influenced by man, is alkaline. I travels over rock, and stone and picks up minerals, and is purified this way.
It makes total sence that we were meant to drink alkaline water.

I know this ionizer sounds like bull. However a few years ago penicillin was in the same boat.

Puffers are very powerful tools to level the pH around a certain value. The amount of puffer needed to handle a change in pH is little. Its not a 1 to 1 relationship.

In case you really should "overload" the puffer system of your body as far as I know your death is immediate. This situation is extremely rare and needs some massive disturbances. Normally one pukes before intoxicating that heavily in order to derail the own system I think.
