Health and Diet

by Sang Whang

Looking at the global picture, there are three major categories of diseases. The first is contagious diseases caused by the invasion of foreign live substances. Today's medical science is effective in isolating these invaders and finding the killer agents or developing immune shots. I believe that it is only a matter of time when medical science will find a cure for AIDS. We already know that the HIV virus cannot survive in an acidic environment; it cannot be transmitted through skin contact because skin surface is acidic.

The second category is degenerative adult diseases caused by the accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes within our body. Whether the wastes are distributed evenly throughout the body or concentrated in some specific area, they can cause different diseases such as diabetes, digestive problems, constipation, arthritis, gout, cancer, osteoporosis, wrinkles, etc. There are various means by which concentrated wastes are distributed, such as massages, vibrators, magnetic devices, hot baths, sauna, etc. With the exception of perspiration, these methods simply redistribute wastes from concentration. The best way to get rid of acidic wastes through urine is to drink alkaline water.

The third category is mysterious diseases caused by nutritional deficiency. I say "mysterious" because these diseases are rather new and doctors cannot yet figure out what they are. This category is more common among those so-called health-conscious people. They eat exclusively "healthy foods" and exclude all "unhealthy" ones. After an extended time, they develop nutritional deficiency. Since they eat only healthy food but still do not feel well, they suspect that some substances in their drinking water make them sick. They, therefore, insist on drinking distilled water or reverse osmosis filtered water, believing that pure water is the best water. What these people don't realize is that distilled water leaches valuable minerals from the human body, further depleting the body of needed minerals and nutrients.

Nutritional deficiency could be the result of special diets, which exclude some food or over-indulge in others. Over-indulgence in one kind of food could cause nutritional deficiency/imbalance. Our body needs all kinds of nutrients; certain nutrients are need to maintain proper ratios with other nutrients. For example, we must maintain the proper ratio of potassium and sodium in our body; taking in sodium salt without a sufficient amount of potassium can cause health problems, and taking no sodium can also cause problem, as we recently learned.

Mr. Hofgren, a health food store owner from Sweden, visited me after reading my book and told me an interesting phenomenon. When people start a vegetarian diet, they definitely feel health improvement. After a few years, their health deteriorates due to nutritional deficiency. However, their memory of health improvement is so vivid that they think they should eat more vegetables, thus making the situation worse.

With all due respect to nutritionists, there are more nutrients in natural food that we don't know than what we know. It makes me cringe when I hear some nutritionist advising people not to eat certain food because it contains no useful nutrients. Such advice may be doing more harm than help. I have seen many so-called nutritionists disagreeing with one another as to what food is good and what is bad.

When it comes to health and diet, there are two schools of thought. Professional hospital dieticians advocate a balanced diet for their patients, making sure that the needed carbohydrate, protein, fat, and fiber are supplied. They are not necessarily concerned with the types of waste products that these foods produce. On the other hand, health food specialists are more concerned with waste products that the foods produce; they recommend certain kinds of food while excluding others. They are not necessarily knowledgeable about our body's minimum daily requirements of certain nutrients.

When I was developing AlkaLife®, I made 10 different ratios of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide combinations and had them tested on 200 people over a period of two months. The doctor who conducted the test didn't know what was in each bottle. The test results showed that the ratio of 75% potassium to 25% sodium to be the most optimal for the majority of people. There were two persons who showed a completely different result - 20% potassium to 80% sodium was better for them. I told the doctor the contents of the bottles and the peculiarity of the two persons, she consulted her charts and found that they were on an "absolutely-no-sodium" diet. Their body needs more sodium but their head rejects it, for whatever reason. Animals eat and drink what is good for them, instinctively, but we human beings eat and drink what TV ads tell us to. We also reject any food or drink that TV ads tell us not to.

My personal recommendation is to enjoy the food that we like, but do not over eat or exclude any food. Eat in moderation following professional dieticians' balanced diet concept, and let alkaline water do the job of cleansing acidic wastes. Do not use food to cleanse the wastes, thus running the risk of creating nutritional deficiency and/or imbalance.

Health Benefits from Ionized Water

 How Ionized Water can help YouAchieve better Heath

1. Ionized Water Is Nature's Antioxidant

Alkaline, ionized water acts as a powerful and natural antioxidant.
Because 60% of our body weight consists of water it is important to look at what type of water will benefit you the most.
Ionized water through having a negative ORP (see below) and through producing hydroxyl ions helps with oxygen production, neutralizing harmful free radicals, increasing your energy level, correcting your body's acid/alkaline balance, hydrating cells and in general reducing many of the symptoms of aging.

Millions of dollars are spent on the antioxidants vitamins A, C and E yet millions again are spent on buying bottled water that is over 100 times more acidic than regular water and which is unable to be ionized because all the essential alkalizing minerals have been taken out.

What vitamins A, C and E have in common with ionized water is they are capable of carrying oxygen with an extra electron attached. These hydroxyl ions in the ionized water seek out and neutralize free radicals. This is very important since free radicals are what cause damage to our cells and bring about disease and (premature) aging. When the hydroxyl ions as an antioxidant have neutralized the free radicals the result is a body rich in oxygen and energy.
In our modern world oxygen levels are depleted due to stress, environmental pollution, diet and lack of exercise. Oxygen helps to destroys cancer cells, removes waste, carries nutrients and also helps in resisting bacteria and viruses that invade your body. A glass of ionized water first thing in the morning is a wonderful way to greet every day.

A high positive ORP (such as found in most bottled and city water) creates oxidation and accelerates the aging process. In comparison, when you drink clean, ionized water you are drinking a powerful and natural antioxidant that renews us at the cellular level. How amazing that so much is spent on doctors, pills and cosmetics as our bodies dehydrate and acidify.
If you make fresh organic juice you will have an antioxidant with a -250 ORP. Yet Ionized water from a Jupiter Science ionizer will give this ORP and lower AND you will be able to drink and enjoy as much as you need throughout the day without any negative side effects.
If you are still addicted to coffee etc then try making it with ionized water. Not only will what you drink be so much healthier but the ionized water will also pull out the taste and flavor so much better than other water does.

When water is stored for over a day it becomes "dead", By drinking your oxygen-rich, antioxidant ionized water straight from your alkaline ionizer you gain the most benefit.
If you slow the water flow down you will notice that your glass will have hundreds of very small bubbles floating in it. These bubbles are the hydroxyl ions and why your water now carries a negative ORP.

2. Ionized Water is Alkaline Water

Ionized Water helps to balance your body's pH. In general, our bodies are out of balance and have become too acidic. Feeling over-tired, weak, restless, frustrated, stiff, overwhelmed, unfocused or confused are often early warning signs that our bodies are no longer able to cope with their toxic overload.

A body that is too acidic provides the ideal environment for diseases to manifest and thrive in. Our body tries to buffer (or reduce) the effect of this excess acid by taking calcium from the bones, and magnesium needed for heart health. It turns acidic wastes into solids and stores them in fatty tissues resulting in hardening of the arteries and excess weight. It stores crystalline deposits in joints that creates gout, inflammation and stiffness. As our body's communication channels break down, cancerous cells may appear and organs will shrink and degenerate.
Because it is very alkaline, ionized water dissolves accumulated acid waste and helps to restore balance. Keeping yourself alkaline is your first line of defense in fighting any disease.

Ionized Water is up to Six Times more Hydrating
than Conventional Water

Ionized Water is very different from water that has been stored in dams and bottles. For many thousand of years, we have been genetically trained to drink water that has been moving (bouncing over rocks) and which is free from chemicals.
In a few places in the world you can still enjoy, in nature, the health benefits of clean, safe, ionized water. Now, we have alkaline water ionizers that bring this lost source to your kitchen sink. With ionized water the size and shape of the water molecule cluster is reduced in size and is changed in shape to hexagonal. This size and shape allows the water molecules to pass through your tissues more easily.
Also when the essential alkalizing minerals are ionized your body will be able to absorb and use them much more efficiently. In comparison, drinking reverse osmosis or distilled water will lead to mineral deficiencies and the ability of the body to absorb mineral supplements will be compromised if your body is already in an over-acidic state.

Ionized Water improves the Taste and Quality of Food

Because ionized water is able to hydrate food better, it is able to draw out its goodness and flavor better. It will also reduce the acidic level.

Acidic Ionized Water is great for the skin and itchy scalp..

The skin is naturally an acid organ. People who regularly use acidic water to wash their bodies tend to have a younger looking skin than those who use hard water. Hard water is water that is alkaline usually due to the presence of excess calcium. By applying acidic (soft) ionized water to the skin it will help to clear up excess bacteria (reduce acne and other blemishes) and will work like an astringent to tighten up the skin and remove wrinkles. In Japanese hospitals acidic water is used to help sterilize wounds, treat diabetic ulcers and keep hospitals clear of infectious bacteria and viruses. Acidic ionized water can also be used to reduce inflammation and itchiness caused by insect bites.
