What are the uses of Alkaline/acidic water?

• Drinking water. To keep the body properly hydrated and assist with colon function.
• For taking supplements. Alkaline water has outstanding dissolving, extracting and anti-oxidizing properties that will enhance the effectiveness of any supplements you may be taking.
• As a skin toner. Use mild acid 5.5 pH water as a skin toner to give your skin a healthy, radiant shine.
• After consuming alcohol. Dilute the acidity of the alcohol and prevent hangovers. Use alkaline water ice cubes with your drinks and ingest a sufficient quantity of alkaline water before bed to prevent a hangover.
• For drinking during meals. When eating acidic foods such as meat, egg yolks, white bread, etc, drinking kangen water will help balance the pH.
• For brewing tea and coffee. Alkaline water prevents tannin in the tea and allows the tea to infuse fully, creating a rich color and taste. In coffee, kangen brings out the aroma, color and naturally acidic taste. Only half the amount of coffee beans are required to create the same full taste.
• For cooking. Alkaline water can be used to soak vegetables and meats, eliminating the strong smells of onions or any game meat, for example. Alkaline water will bring out the natural flavors in vegetables as well as a rich color in spinach and other greens. This natural flavor will require less stocks and seasonings to be used. Kangen also has stronger heat conduction than regular water, effectively cutting as much as 30% from cooking times. There are an estimated 30,000 restaurants and eateries in Japan already using Alkaline water to prepare their food and the quality and cleanliness of Japanese food is world-renowned.
• For cut flowers and plants. Plants experience great results when watered with ionized water. The life of cut flowers can be lengthened and health restored to sick plants. Seeding and germination are also enhanced using the water and for varieties such as roses, which require a more acidic environment, simply select an acidic setting of water for use.
• For pets. Unpleasant odors from both their bodies and waste will be eliminated. They will also experience the same great health benefits as humans.
• For Artists and Painters. Alkaline water is exceptional when mixing paints. Colors are more vibrant and a smoother texture is created. The brush glides across the surface with ease.
• As an anti-bacterial cleaner. Use the the acidic water setting to create a 100% safe and natural anti-bacterial cleaner. Kills 99.9% of bacteria on contact. Can also be sprayed directly onto the skin and into the throat to prevent a cold. Also ideal as a 100% safe alternative for bathrooms, baby areas and toys.
• As an all-purpose cleaner. Use the the strong alkaline water setting to create a natural, chemical free cleaner for glass, tiles, bench tops, etc.

The uses are many, but the single greatest benefit remains improved intestinal and colon health. As you already know, a large portion of the free radicals in your body are created by a toxic colon. Free radicals also account for 70% of chronic diseases, such as cancer and diabetes. Every day you remain dehydrated and every day you don't take action against the free radical

s and acid build-up throughout your bowels and body, you are basically encouraging disease in your body.

Knowing your Acids

Acid Foods & Beverages

• red meat
• poultry
• coffee
• carbonated soft drinks
• alcohol
• nicotine
• eggs
• grains
• sugars
• white flour
• seafood/shellfish
• cheese
• mental stress
• toxic emotions

Alkaline Foods & Beverages (Editor's Note: It is best if these are eaten raw)

• Fruits
• vegetables (greens)
• nuts
• seeds
• legumes
• water
• milk
• yogurt
• herbal tea.

A perfect ratio of acid pH daily is 80% alkaline and 20% acid in the form of grains. eggs and acidic fruits.

pH Values Of Different Drinks

• A popular brand of cola — 2.5. It takes 32 glasses of a 10.0 pH alkaline water to neutralize one can of cola)
• Diet soft drinks —3.2
• Popular brand beer — 4.7 pH.
• Distilled water —7.0 pH.
• Filtered tap water — 8.4 pH.
• Fresh vegetable juice (greens) — 8.9 pH.
• Alkaline water — as high as 10.0 pH.

Blood with a pH value of 7.45 contains 64.9 % more oxygen than blood with a pH value of 7.3. An astounding difference for just a minor variance. Acidity of some soft drinks is caused by carbon dioxide, which is a waste product we breathe out. Carbonated beverages are a waste product, which the body rejects in the form of a burp. This is a double whammy. Not only do you shove a toxic residue down your throat when drinking them, these drinks are tilled with caramel coloring, phosphoric acid and ten tea­spoons of sugar, which creates more of an acid envi­ronment and wipes out your immune system for up to four hours.

Human Body pH Fluid Values

• Stomach juice (hydrochloric acid) — 1.5 pH.
• Skin —4.7 pH.
• Saliva —7.1 pH.
• The cell — 7.1 pH.
• Blood —7.35 to 7.45 pH.
• Pancreatic juice — 8.8 pH.

All Disease Is Acid Related

In general, degenerative diseases are the result of acid waste build-up within weak cells and organs that are too weak to clean house. When we are born, we have the highest alkaline mineral concentration, establishing the highest pH. That is why most degenerative diseases do not occur when you are young. They occur usually after 40 years of age.

The underlying causes of cancer, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, kidney disease, asthma, allergies, psoriasis and other skin disorders, indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, obesity, tooth and gum diseases, osteoporosis, morning sickness, eye diseases, etc., are the accumulation of acids in tissues and cells, poor blood and lymph circulation, and poor cell activity due to toxic acidic residues accumulating around the cell membrane which prevent nutritional elements from entering the cell.

All scavengers breed like parasites. After food is digested and absorbed into the bloodstream it is carried to all 75 trillion cells of the body via the circulatory system. The body eliminates what it can and the remainder settles in the weakest cells. Those which are not strong enough to clean house. In this accumulating, deposited, dead waste matter and pustulant soup, germs like bacteria, viruses, fungus and parasites breed. Rotting takes place and pus (which is decomposed blood), parasites, flukes, tapeworms, hardened mucous and other acid waste products form. This, science calls disease.

And the name of the particular disease depends upon the location of the deposits of this acidic, toxic, pustulant soup. If the accumulating deposits are in the joints it’s called arthritis. If the poisonous waste matter accumulates in the pancreas and saturates the beta cells that synthesize insulin it’s called diabetes. If the toxic sludge is dumped in the lungs it’s called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It’s the same disease. Wherever your weakest link in the chain of organs is, that’s where your genetic disposition for disease will be.

If the overload is too great for the blood, excess acid is dumped into the tissues and cells for storage. Then the lymphatic system and immune system must neutralize what it can and attempt to discard the toxic waste. If the lymphatic system is overloaded generally due to a lack of exercise, acid deposits will suffocate the cells and damage DNA. If the lymphatic system is pumping through exercise and circulation, they will pick up the acid wastes and neutralize them through the kidneys. Unfortunately, they must dump them right back into the blood stream. This will force the blood to attempt to gather more alkaline salts in order to compensate while stressing the liver and kidneys.
