The Bad News

Cancer has now passed up heart disease as the number one killer of Americans. About 560,000 friends, family and, loved ones die each year. I guess somehow that low number could be the good news. Predictions right now are that in 20 years, worldwide that number will be 26 million diagnosed and 17 million dying every year.

If these grim predictions hold up, and I suspect they will, after the 17,000,000 deaths that will leave 9 million in hospitals or needing outpatient treatment each year. That is a staggering number of patients let alone the cost of their care.

Medicine spends a lot of time, and huge amounts of money, telling us that they have the answer to relieving our, "aches and pains", but almost never the "cure". Oh! they say, "We’re getting close" or just send more money to this or that foundation, "we are almost there, just a few more dollars." Back in the 1950’s there was a big announcement that the "cure for cancer was just around the corner."

They are really not much further along today than they were back then. Lots of research has been done, but cancer is increasing and the actual survival rate for cancer is actually a bit better if you don’t treat it! That is true. It is sick, sad, and criminal, but the FDA and the AMA have twisted the statistics to make it look like they are increasing the survival rate, with radiation, chemo, and surgery. That shockingly is not true. Most doctors know it, but would lose their license if they spoke out.

The following is from the Townsend Letter for Doctors, Jan 1998. "Afraid of Their Own Medicine." In one survey, most oncologists specializing in lung cancer reported that they would not take chemotherapy if they had the disease. Yet, everyday these doctors give their patients chemotherapy. In conversation with an investigative reporter, one brain cancer specialist admitted that he would never submit to radiation if he had a brain tumor. Nevertheless, he continues to send patients for radiation, because he would be kicked out of the hospital if he didn’t follow the accepted protocol." Based on information in: Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, Jan 1998; Spectrum, Mar/April 1998

When I read facts like these I am always left with, "What can I do about this?" I think it comes down to this, that I may not be able to run out and save the world, but I don’t have to be part of those numbers because I know what to do and you can do it too. We have to take a little time to learn what causes so much of our modern health problems. Once armed with a few facts, we can make some basic dietary and lifestyle changes and win.

The Good News

What I realized is, that things ain’t what they used to be. Our life styles have changed. By that I mean, we no longer live on the farm, we no longer grow our own food, we don’t drink from rushing unpolluted streams. We also don’t go to bed when the sun goes down and get up when it comes up. Many of us are sunlight deficient, because, most of us, no longer work outside. We watch TV and eat processed sugar filled foods. So there you have it. All that means a very acidic body and that, is the playground of cancer, arthritis, hypertension, diabetes and too many other illnesses to list, but all with the same basic cause.

So here is what I am doing and I invite you to do also, I am getting more sleep. I have chosen to eat far, far less sugar, pasta, white rice, and breads. I don’t drink but if I did, I would cut way back on alcohol. Why these things? Because they become very acidic when digested. We were created slightly alkaline, and our modern world has led us away from that and into disease.

A alkaline diet high in fresh greens, fruit and drinking alkaline water from a water ionizer while slowing way down on sugar and all the processed foods that have sweeteners added will go a long way to keep you and your family from being one of those 17,000,000 cancer cases. Remember, cancer loves and feeds on excess sugar.

When I started being more alkaline, a 30 year skin rash disappeared, and I threw my arthritis medicine away. Try it.

Can alkaline water from a water ionizer really change my body’s pH?

In short the answer is: No.

The optimal pH for sustaining life is 7.356. All our body’s functions happen within a very narrow range around this pH number. Falling below or above this pH range means imbalance and disease.

When body pH goes off its optimal range, microbial life forms in the blood can change shape, mutate, mirror pathogenesis, and grow. When body pH goes off, enzymes that are constructive can become destructive. When body pH goes off, oxygen delivery to cells suffers. You get the point…

There is a great myth circulating around the internet, fuelled by certain water ionizer on-line merchants, that drinking alkaline water from a water ionizer will change your body’s pH and shift it towards a more alkaline status.

Even though claims like this are brilliant from a marketing point of view they do not have any scientific base and, more importantly, are misleading.

So what is the value in water from a water ionizer? Why is there so much hype about water ionizers around the alternative health water coolers and (lately) more mainstream health-conscious circles?

What makes water from a water ionizer important to our body’s well being is its Oxidation Reduction Potential value (O.R.P.) and its micro-clustered physiology.

Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP, or Redox) is a measure of a water capacity to either release or gain electrons in chemical reactions. The process of oxidation involves losing electrons while reduction involves gaining electrons.

A water ionizer has a negative redox potential which means it has many extra negatively changed ions that are ready to donate to positively charged ions. The excess of alkaline or negative ions, also called hydroxyl ions (OH-), will readily form bonds with any excess acidic or positively charged ions, also known as hydrogen ions(H+). Once a negative ion binds with a positive ion (H+) it will neutralize the acid (H+) and remove it from your system.

The process of ionization changes the physiology of water. Water molecules come in clusters rather than single molecules. Tap water has very large clusters (10 to 13 molecules per cluster). Electrolysis reduce these large tap water clusters from their original size into so called ‘Micro clusters’ (5 to 6 molecules per cluster). The smaller cluster size gives the water excellent hydrating properties, high solubility and good permeability. This gives ionized water the ability to hydrate better.

There is also some merit to ionized water’s alkalinity. It’s basic chemistry 101: alkaline neutralizes acid. It’s been proven beyond any doubt that our bodies, our diet and our environment are increasingly acidic. Drinking alkaline water from a water ionizer will help us neutralize all these acidic sources in our daily life. But that’s just it: alkaline water can only help the body in its straggle to maintain its pH within its optimal range.

The American medical status quo, just like it has done with every new and fresh health-oriented alternative in its past that has challenged the common belief and tried to shift our collective thinking, is throwing everything but the kitchen sink towards discrediting ionized water.

Ultimately, it’s up to each one of us to weigh the pros and the cons and shift our way of thinking towards a healthier more vibrant lifestyle.
