Alkaline Water Therapy

Hello Ricardo

A question for you !

what is the difference between kangen alkaline water and taking something like filtered water and adding lemon juice ? would this have the same health effects?

Thanks
Ryan

Filtered water with lemon lemon juice is acidic water. Acidic water is not good for you. For more info on alkaline water, please visit http://www.qigonghealer.com/water.html

Hey Ricardo

I always asumed that Lemons are non-acidic, just did a google search and it confirmed Lemons to be alkalizing. Wouldn't Lemon Juice be the same as lemons?

So by squeezing in some lemon juice into water would this give the same effect as the water described above?

Thanks !

Ryan

Lemon is an alkaline fruit. It's the filtered water that I was talking about which has acidic pH. It would be better for you if you drink alkaline water with lemon rather than filtered acidic water with lemon. Alkaline water from a water ionizer is what I was talking about.

Hello!
I have begun researching the health benefits of alkaline water when I came across your article. It is a common misconception that bottled waters are better for you, and I am glad awareness of this issue is spreading. With all the research I have read so far, I am certain that acidic water (both bottled and filtered) are detrimental to one's health. Fortunately I am with a unique company that provides a water filtration system that produces alkaline water to a PH level of 8.2+. We provide a free one hour presentation to our clients to demonstrate for them i) why bottled water (and tap water) is not healthy for them; all tap water and some bottled waters are dirty (high ppm reading) and ALL of them are acidic, and ii) how they can easily earn their system for free. Quite simply everyone that tries our water loves it, and many of them have experienced the very same health benefits, and some different from, those you have mentioned in your article.
We believe that everyone in the world should have access to the very best (alkaline :) water absolutely free, and we allow our members to easily earn their system for free! Plus the system is guaranteed for 20 YEARS! Those who are interested should visit www.mysummit.biz/lifesource for more information. We would be pleased to provide a demonstration for any and all who are interested. Wishing good health and well being to all!

Hi Melanie,
As I have elaborated from my article about my experiencing the negative side effects of drinking distilled and reverse osmosis water, I definitely agree that bottled and tap water which are acidic are not healthy for drinking because they contribute to over-acidity, the root cause of most diseases. I have been using Enagic Leveluk SD 501 water ionizer to produce filtered alkaline antioxidant clustered kangen water with a 9.5 pH (same as Lourdes miracle water from France) for drinking, and acid water with a 5.5 pH and less for external facial beauty wash. The leveluk sd 501 is a medical device approved by the Japanese Ministry of Health recommended for gastrointestinal disorders such as heartburn, acid reflux, constipation, diabetes and other related ailments such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thickening of blood, heart disease and cancer. All the diseases I have mentioned are caused by acidic wastes which are washed out by drinking alkaline water with a pH of 8.5 to 9.5. Thanks for your comments.
Sincerely,

I find it too much when 'all disease' is attributed to one thing, whatever that one thing is. to attribute all or most disease to drinking 'acidic water' is simply not tenable. Rainwater in equilibrium with the air has a normal pH of 5.6 - thats the way its been for millenia. I find it hard to believe that all or most diseases afflicting humanity are based on a water pH we have been living with for millenia. Furthermore, a pH of 9.5 is very very alkaline from a geological perspective - that is a pH that exists in very very few places naturally -if that was a water pH our bodies were compatible with for optimal health, it would be more widespread naturally. The ideas being presented here are just not consistent with the geological reality humans have been living with for a very very long time. I also think that generating an obsessive fixation on the 'next' techno fix to ALL our health problems is highly inconsistent with Chinese Medicine. I know many people whose endless pursuit of the next technofix answer to all their health problems actually drives them deeper and deeper into pathology. Most of the health problems listed above would be fully or largely resolved by eating less, moving more and aligning ourselves with meaningfulness. But its always easier to delay doing that 'work' and buy a water purifier. Daniel Schulman

Hi Daniel,
I am not saying that all diseases can be treated by just one modality, i.e. ionized alkaline water from a water ionizer. There is no single therapy that is a cure-all for all diseases as elaborated at my qigonghealer.com website. Clinically, I practice, teach and recommend Qigong, meditation, acupuncture, exercise, balanced diet, herbs with alkaline water intake, and not only alkaline water. I was talking about bottled and tap water are unfit to drink which cause most diseases as elaborated by Dr. Rona's article "Why Purified Water is Bad for You" at my website http://www.qigonghealer.com/water.html
